There's the need to dust fans and then there's the possibility that OS computing requirements have risen which isn't often a Linux thing on old hardware.. OsX had exactly the same problem and had to make a minimizing release IIRC.

Computing kind of stagnated since 2010 and plenty of hardware since then still works fine today and is usable enough for many tasks. Apple was nice for needing not all that many different drivers but its statnge integrations like drive fans to bios are obnoxious.

Ah, I guess the point of the thread was to share only data points consistent with the distortion.

I'm not really sure that's remarkable, maybe compared to the netbook level machines. Now that HDs are gone the only cause of failure I see from my coworkers is extended vacations and remote work in tropical climates.

I find it bizarre. I think we obviously we want to be able to run pages from 2015 far in the future but certainly for a few more years.

As a browser maker, why would you even put this work in for cordinated processes instead of investing in a way to patch away your native code and do that continuously at a slow pace for every aging feature?

The US' experience is in rescuing older and failing sectors preferably with a quick resale.. This is one of the worst ideas I've heard so far because of the international politics of having berated China over Huawei. Intel is likely to lose exports which they can't make up for with an investment it could do without.

I'm curious as to why startup would be a goal specifically vs the job itself at any company? Lifestyle, company size, career growth, equity, something else?

If you don't even trust that someone respects some basic limits you don't want to be engaged in a fight for the profit from some project every year. Getting nothing out of the project is not the worst outcome.

They better be careful, saying something true online is less work than the renunciation process to demand the freedoms everyone else is born with.

Cats are inherently NSFW, you will need to switch to a dogs feed. (Though husky feeds are strangely NSFW too.)

Or maybe you misunderstood.. It is a warning to people like those on this site (demographics wise) not to create the necessary powder keg by raising inequality. Whether an angry civil war works out in the end doesn't mean much to those killed at the beginning.

For modern society the question of whether there are any regrets in living in a world entirely restructured by the French Revolution is maybe also interesting, but I think people should be a little selfish about having a reasonable present.

Anti-aging startups is 5D chess, the 4th dimension is the most fickle so it's very hard to make it to a 4D intercept when your ideas are stupid.

> Or in the case of my OnePlus, their updates added so much of their own shit to a once pure OS

Same situation on preinstalled laptops and Android. You are complaining about Google in relation to Microsoft.

Android One was a correction to how their system should work and it wouldn't help their goals to sell $100 phones that are secure, all an older adult would typically want, not particularly engaging for marketers, competing with their flagship phones for people who will pay and accept any quality in pointless toys.

Even their own A series has been a problem for them since it covers what any reasonable person would want (in a flagship eliminating way). So let's restrict the charging bellow the lowest industry standards, etc.

You are trying to twist if to their favor that the market and not Google specifically is known for hardware problems, recalls and making a camera that 95% of people don't have any use for. What they have is control of Android which allowed them to cancel Android One to build a larger market for the pricing they want using pressure.

Look at what a marvel we can force them to buy for no reason! 80% of them have never made a video intentionally. A great marketing segment.

I had a cemetery of working phones and broken laptops all through past decades. I used laptops for longer than 3 years but I also didn't put them through the pressure a student would and could usually replace parts.

The phone industry is now an oligarchy and prices (and forced feature combinations) are up.

The high resolution is a waste of money. The camera is a waste of money. The number of buttons is small. The issues like a hinge are non existant. The ability to pop out the battery is the kind of complicated thing I would expect from someone competent like a laptop maker.. The lack of Ram slots and now other slots is simplifying.

Really Apple made the game field very simple and its no problem making a perfectly good $50 phone. Google and Qualcomm have made sure that you will pay more via preventing reasonable update systems. Basically forcing you to buy a "middle level" phone that has all the pointless features only a teenager has time/eyes for to get the minimum security updates.

All I really want to know is CPU/other efficiency and battery life.. If I use G1-G5 with exactly the same app that G1 CPU was adequate for the theoretical efficiency for the CPU is maybe improving 20% a generation but that manifests as some worthwhile (battery time) result or is drowned out by stupid features like even higher screen refresh?

Plants are growing at a faster rate than ever now that we are having trouble breathing.

The nice things about such an obituary is that it isn't a person so we don't have to feel bad and we don't need to know what it was going to do.

There's more than enough historical literature of a high enough ilk that missing references to it is a signal. I think contemporary literature can do whatever it wants and its not an adequate explanation, OTOH contemporary other media being an important reference is an explanation for not reading.

You give them (illegally interconnected federal agencies) your regular accounts so you can be stalked by a sexual deviant in the NSA?

Pine is a lot of people's hobby project.. If that makes it not serious then most of what is interesting in computing is just a fork of not very serious.

I didn't guess you were an American; I gave an example from which to extrapolate.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a progressive? 97% of the world population has no reason to share views with an American conservative even if their minds are similarly polluted with other nationalist and religious smut.

Their mixing their scams into everything is worse than if they stuck entirely to their scams. No one will believe future research in an area they bring up hasn't been tainted by their reality distortion field. China will have more credible medicine than the US since the Chinese party isn't that interested in pushing a lot of quack theories to the math and science illiterate as a way to gain and maintain political power.

When you procure a 3nm chip you expect to keep it working as well as when you bought it, even if you block the management engine for privacy.

When you buy a fighter plane you should expect to not be able to fly for the full duration of a single conflict the manufacturing country disagrees about.

We have considered that 99% of the problem is from our institutions and the best way for them to deflect that criticism is to give the people something they should have done for the 1% of the problem that they can influence.

Honor among thieves is an expression from before there was a group that treated honor as a fiduciary crime. If you are not one of the smaller number of engineers needed once the product is developed your best value in the market is to a series of competitors establishing the same features.

They don't really change my thinking as a layman who is rather annoyed at how mismanaged research has been. If you replace amyloid with scar tissue in the article I would agree fully with a lot of points, recognize that scar tissue reduction studies would be of great benefit to some, especially those with highly abnormal genetics, and still ask what the hell is wrong with financial allocation in research.

Hundred year events are now 10 year events. I'd much rather use a diverse portfolio to move outside of the scope of a disaster and chances are good that I will actually pay less than I should for the insurance component of rent because people are irrational. For raising rents it is similar, a city is usually getting too expensive all around for someone who doesn't need to live there.
