Who the fuck cares lmao

That may be, but buying a Mac Mini is like buying a device made from the ground up for Windows, where any other operating system has to reverse engineer 100% of the things to work well, or you have to emulate another OS on it (which comes with its own pitfalls), and it’s 200+€ more expensive than its nearest equivalent.

Every single company I’ve worked at which introduced Apple Silicon to its developers has had headaches with compatibility. The worst I’ve seen was it taking a developer a month to get up and running because the specific component we used didn’t have a build for the specific ARM architecture. Multipass, UTM, podman, docker desktop, all didn’t work until colima and forcing the VM to emulate x86 + forcing docker in the VM to use the x86 image worked. There was a persistent problem with disk IO since it used 9p or whatever. Installing dependencies from scratch meant waiting 30 minutes on the M2.

Why pay a premium for less compatibility and worse specs? Just get yourself something that works, which is cheaper, maybe even supports a company that invests in Linux and its ecosystem, and be able to ask an existing developer community instead of asking the subsection of linux users that run your specific app on however you’re running linux on Appe hardware.

Thanks. That’s a good read.

“We” didn’t do anything wrong. The people controlling the companies involved did. Don’t include yourself with a group of bad people if you’re not part of them.

There’s a very functional middle ground between all in one cable, and a hundred different services.

It’s not an easy job, and it can absolutely be rough and frustrating. But knowing what your customer is saying is pretty important.

Haha while I love the line, that last part would quickly get you pulled into a talk with management.

I would laugh, and then tell you to never do that again.

Most of the time angry customers don’t even understand what they’re angry at. They’ll 180 in a heartbeat if the agent can identify the actual issue. I agree, this is unnecessary.

Nice find! I saw it in a video, maaaaybe a MVG video? I don’t feel like digging through channels for it. This article is great

That’s what I was thinking of. Thank you!

That would be really cool.
Fun tidbit: there’s a tiny physical switch in the plug in port that tells those systems which mode the game is for. So if the cartridge presses that switch in, the Gameboy will use the Color/Advanced software, for example.

I don’t remember which way is for what specific system, but I always thought that was clever.

which might also throw a wrench in the works of companies trying to get data without sifting through it properly.

Narrator: It has no effect at all.

Seems like people that aren’t in a bubble know what’s going on better than you, huh? Strange how that works.

Truth, on the other hand, flies right past you.

Transistors is the defacto answer. We wouldn’t have anything we have now without them.

Oh you say but what about (this thing) that doesn’t have any in it? The factory it was mass produced in runs on transistors.

Going down the list of comments in this post:
Telephones. Always had transistors.
Internet. Obvious.
Coal. Everything from the trucks to the converors, to the systems that track production, and all the transportation involved after uses them.
Washing machines also use them even if they’re not the stupid “smart” machines people buy for some reason.

Edit. If you’re in anyway curious about transistors here’s a new video from Asianometry about them:

Oh they did not invade Russia. So what was said earlier was wrong.

Thank you for the clarification!

Ukraine not wanting to be part of Russia, and then being occupied by Russia does not in any shape or form resemble Ukraine invading Russia.

But we all know who did invade somebody else. And you know exactly who that was.

No woman in your life, eh?
Must be tough.

Yes, we all remember the year that Ukraine invaded Russia. That was in… uh… help me out here
