Did read both links and it feels like so much drug-induced yowling..

"At some point Steve Jobs will die and Apple becomes white dwarf.."...

[aht0]

Read my sentence over again. Your bigotry seemed to blind you. Or was it unconscious denial?
I said:


Don't really care about...

[aht0]

ehm.. Linux fanboys? /smirk.

I can't remember seeing any Apple fanboy in Phoronix, who'd show up like a clock work on every non-Mac thread...

[aht0]

Agree.



It's multi-faceted thing depending on the device you possess.

There are custom ROM's. Well, at least there...

[aht0]

My little brother and niece have iPhones. You should have seen the latter's face when I asked out of idle curiosity (seeing that thing first time up close)...

[aht0]

Yeah, I even agree with you on the latter. Many of the sellers on eBay could even have been just people buying knock-offs from retail in China and later...

[aht0]

Out of curiosity, explain please just how Apple managed to get among top10 most worth companies in the world. While selling "crap" - as you...

[aht0]

No, you are the one doing assumptions here. Assuming what I assume.

I did not give any definite figure as my "assumption". Nvidia...

[aht0]

When was the last time you bought brand new card from Nvidia and what is your average hardware upgrade cycle? Gamers (on windows) refresh fairly often....

[aht0]

Crappy example. First: blowing your nose does not have any effect on cold. It's simply something that would pass with time as your immune system works...

[aht0]

Then instead of relentlessly bashing Nvidia tell hearty "Thank You" to Chinese scammers who started selling cheap(er) reflashed Nvidia FAKE...

[aht0]

Is there a point to it? As I seem to recall, majority of the 'vintage' GPUs were part of the systems, which were 32bit tops.
With the gradual deprecation...

[aht0]

Fine, until you would stick to Linux and only plan on gaming.
And are willing to give up OpenCL & etc.

Forget FreeBSD, Solaris...

[aht0]

This thread makes funny reading.. All the indignant outcries, wide-eyed radicality.. like watching teenage kids bashing the 'hated authorities'..
...

[aht0]

Try to repeat it with 4.xx kernel. 2.4.x would be even smaller, ah, hell lets go back straight to 1.0..

Point was that microkernel does...

[aht0]

Maybe, if you think you are smarter than Replicant devs, go argue with them straight? Instead of bragging here with HAL which has been, btw, deprecated...

[aht0]

Ignorance is a bliss. Big part of what they do is replacement of proprietary components with free open source alternatives. Which renders Replicant binary-INCOMPATIBLE...

[aht0]

Welcome to the world of Linux....

[aht0]

Lol, education tends to infect people with idiotic ideas and unrealistic world views. Most of the naive loonie world-fixers got their ideas from university....

[aht0]

Newer phones tend to have 'all-in-one' chipsets where modem(s) are not physically separated. They also dislike Qualcomms for security reasons. So they...
