You're right, but... The idea comes from the desktop world. AMD's zen 4 desktop cpu's especially the gaming variants like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D almost matches the performance per watt of Apple's M3.

Their laptop cpu's as some companies did release same model different cpu were less efficient than intel.

But the Asus ProArt P16 (used in the article) did manage an extreme endurance score in the video test called Big Buck Bunny H.264 1080p which runs at 150 cd/m² with 21 hours. With it's higher resolution, oled and 10% less battery capacity that's better 40 minutes better than the macbook pro 16 m3 max. In the wifi test also run at 150 cd/m² the m3 run for 16 hours, the asus 8. ( https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ProArt-P16-laptop-review-... )

For me noise matters, that Asus has a whisper mode which produces 42db as much as an M3 max under full load. Please be aware that if you're susceptible of PWM, that ASUS laptop has issues.

"USB-IF strongly discourages its members and the industry at-large from using specification names/terminology in consumer-facing branding, packaging, advertisements, and other marketing materials."

They recommend the following naming: XYZ's USB 40Gbps 60W USB Type-C® Cable or USB 40Gbps 60W USB Type-C® Cable

USB 40Gbps... correspond to the USB4 Gen 3×2 mode Hi-Speed USB is USB 2.0 (High-Speed).

A tip usb cable and a number in the logo = not USB2. A usb c cable and black/white in the logo = not USB2

Sometimes the marketing name and a logo specify a certain mode like USB 10Gbps the marketing name is only used for USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 mode, the black/white logo with 10 Gbps always correspond to USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 mode.

If you see USB in blue and 10 Gbps in red than it's either USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 or USB4 Gen 2×1 ( those modes have different encodings )

Also to consider: Wifi networks are used for tracking. Google and Microsoft offer methods for disabling this for the network that you control. (_nomap/website) Apple does not. Also Google makes it not impossible to stop tracking ( F-droid/Netguard/Superfreezz) on your phone. Pro iphone: Apple does not share access to an advertising id for monetization without user consent. Apple guards application boundaries.

Start from a data model you don't understand and use/write objects that force your data into expected results. Make sure everybody involved sees a working version

Writing this way is time consuming but ensures nobody including you wants to maintain it or add features.

Renaming OpenSUSE 7 years ago

Would a different spelling help with the copyright issue? Examples "opensuze" "opensoese"

And khula-suse/khulazuse (Hindi for open) ?

I've a suggestion: Khula-use

Tldr: I built a superminer in 2013 for a client. If he would have paid me in bitcoin, then those bitcoins would have been stolen by now. Bitcoin mining uses way too much electricity, now it is 35 terawatt hours at this rate: 2019 > USA,2020 > World

In 2016 the global games market had $99.6Bn revenue and a 8.5% YoY. PC had a 27% +4.2% market share, TV 29% +4.5% , mobile 27% +23.7% tablets 10% +4.5% and casual webgames 5% -7.5%. (source:Newzoo) Google with it's presence in mobile, tablets and web seems to be the winner, edge will support webassembly in the future and mozilla which is much smaller than opera on mobile reminds me of Xerox.

There's a device for unlocking I-phones. I saw it in action a few times at work: The I-phone is placed horizontally into a cradle, 40 cm above the screen there's some kind of a device. That device produces flash flights, a couple times per second and I suspect it takes pictures. If I remember correctly there's nothing touching the buttons. The officer said that it can crack I-phone 6 (7 was not out when I asked it). What I suspect is that it uses brute force and avoids the delaying system. Since I work in a low tech environment, I was surprised to see that thing in action.

There's a post on lwn.net from April 2, 2001 about the Linux 2.5 kernel summit:

https://lwn.net/2001/features/KernelSummit/

From that article: " The first presentation was by Lance Larsh of Oracle who, essentially, provided a laundry list of changes and features Oracle would like to see in order to get better performance out of high-end, large database servers "

...bullet list...

" The reception was "generally" positive - many or most of the above problems are well known and on the list to be fixed in 2.5 already. One exception was the non-preemption request, which was considered dangerous and unnecessary. "

J. Corbet is the author.

It's not that petrol cars will be forbidden but buying a new non zero emission car in 2025 will be financially not beneficial, according to Norwegian press.

99% of the electricity in Norway comes from hydro power plants, it's a huge exporter of gas and oil and it's rich.

That makes it easier to make such a progressive decision but congrats for setting the first deadline.

Belgium, proud of it's social protection and security, has the same problem. Delhaize Belgium bought it's chickens from an industrial farm. That farm hired a company who brought in workers for help during the harvest. The workers were from Bulgaria, standard of living there's much lower than Slovenia. Member states of the European Union adhere to the free trade of goods and labor principle. Which meant in this case those Bulgarian workers fell under Bulgarian labor laws. It's really a complex matter because civil servants accused this company of illegaly employing staff to dodge taxes and cheat social security. The Labour Appellate Tribunal of Gent imposed severe fines which would have impoverished everyone related, also "normal" workers, to the industrial farm. The court of cassation ( highest instance court in Belgium ) judged that the court of Gent was wrong. So the process had to be redone. The Labour Appelate Tribunal of Antwerp judged that the defendants, Delhaize and that chicken farm, didn't breach the law so they were not guilty. Case closed.

I' m wondering if Tesla's case will grab headlines in the European "left"press. If so that indicates that populism uses facts to give you the sentiment that you're a victim of capitalism instead of realising the complexity of postmodern times End rant

Pdf/A and xml based formats in theory. And in general use open source software. In practice use the Odf format because I support that and it does what you want. And don't use pdf/A because too many implementations are pretending they produce pdf/A while they don't.

Maybe inappropriate but I like to know where you bought the "You might also argue" licence of mountain-Jack I couldn't find that on the Amazon store, please help me, that never happened to me, I feel so sad.

In firefox there the book icon aka reader view and it works with this site. /rant What is odd, that I had the same reading experience. I thought it was the fault of my choice for using firefox. I would like to work with only people who feel sorry for their existence. And the ceo at the Kafka company resides in a bunker, safe place for her/him and us. /rant

Between 2001 and the arrival of service pack 2, it was a horror due to virus and worms for sys admins and end users. The ignore the problem thing was a resident resource hungry program called "virus scanner" Com & co were great, ms used it,the rest abused it. And Xp feels fast too, it wasn't, 7 was faster, but it felt the other way.
