Android is not sleeping in a PC sense, all processes still run.

Not directly relevant, but also for comparison: GitHub Actions with a Mac runner are $0.08 per minute, $4.8 per hour and $42,048 per year.

I see two main reasons:

- 5nm process (1.8x the density of 7nm [1])

- unified memory directly on the SoC

Missed opportunities: full-sized HDMI, M.2 storage and a touchpad.

The single biggest missing feature compared to Zoom for my team is background noise cancellation. It's an unfortunate decision to limit it to Enterprise users.

Running several production clusters on GKE, I can say that it is definitely not a full-time job to keep it up too date and healthy in that setting. I would imagine it's a completely different story on-prem.

Seems like this should be improved with Bluetooth 5.2 and LE Audio.

Basically, anything with IPQ40xx: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/tree/master/target/linux/...

Those just work and are reasonably priced (~90 USD).

I don't think HTTP/3 is even intended as a general-purpose HTTP replacement. Even HTTP/2 is overly complex, so HTTP/1 will most likely stay as a fallback for the foreseeable future.

Next step: server-side tracking. With Firefox and Safari blocking JS tracking by default, many companies feel like they don't have other choice.

Similar thing with their Google Cloud Console: 159 requests, 3.5MB and 13 seconds for the initial page load. Opening any page takes at least 3 further seconds, but usually more like 6 seconds - on a 4-core CPU with 16GB RAM.

There are plenty of areas for improvement beyond pure transistor size:

- density

- heat

- resistance

I'm using it since the Preview as the daily driver and it has been a day and night change for me in terms of performance compared to the original 68 version.

I just wish Mozilla had done a better job at rolling out the change to existing users.

I was looking into open source knowledge / wiki base solutions recently, and I found https://www.getoutline.com/ to be the most usable.

Or DigitalOcean, which also offers many of the big-cloud perks like managed db, object storage, load balancers and kubernetes.

There is a way to offer both jpg and webp, letting the browser to choose.

I wouldn't call Windows on ARM a niche product, since it supports x86 emulation, enabling, arguably, most of the use cases.

If there's anyone from Vienna, Austria, we're hiring.

Spoiler: not.

Surprised no one mentioned a third option: cheap vps providers like digitalocean or vultr. They've become real contenders to big clouds recently, providing managed databases, storage and k8s. And their bandwidth costs are close to what you'd get in colo.

I'm sure Dropbox is first-class behind the scenes, but the desktop app has become simply awful with time, so that I almost feel sorry for them and embarrassed towards other people when I use Dropbox.

Good point about GKE blocking resources on the nodes. I wish they would at least allow more control over that with the introduction of the master fees.

I'm running 19.07 since the first release candidate on Ubiquiti gear, no issues so far, with uptimes of weeks.

Surprised to see no CI.

MySQL 8, for starters.

They should be available to GKE as soon as they are available for the usual VM instances. If you can't launch a node pool, I bet you also can't launch a VM.

I wish it was simply flat 30% cheaper. It is very misleading that 0.99% of month will be 30% cheaper than a full month, considering that Google Cloud is advertising sustained usage discounts everywhere.

Strangely, the E2 type seems to be available when checked with "gcloud beta compute machine-types list", but not with "gcloud beta compute machine-types list --zones". Launching also doesn't work.

Still waiting for the next generation of USB-C hubs. Currently, almost all cause Wi-Fi issues, most will have Windows complain about "limited display connection".
