I’m expecting a fairly rapid shift to new technologies that could leave Intel completely in competitive. In part we should expect a rapid increase...

[wizard69]

There is no such assumption across the open source world. Why you would believe that baffles me.

That will never happen on any single...

[wizard69]

In some ways shocking. I’m hoping this leads to significant sales and thus profits to pour into drivers and R&D....

[wizard69]

They are also responsible for much of the new vector capability ( the acronym escapes me). The thing that excites me is a desktop or even laptop ARM...

[wizard69]

I’m kinda getting that impression too. I always liked the idea of Power and in the past PowerPC. Unfortunately PowerPC got so far behind in integer...

[wizard69]

Obviously you have missed my point that I’m not a current Mac OS user. I don't worship Apple at all, in fact their biggest negative, over priced hardware,...

[wizard69]

This hatred of Apple is hard to understand. They are literally the prototype for reliable well designed software. Take ten minutes with Windows 10 and...

[wizard69]

Now you get into how you define reliability. Soldering in RAM certainly will make for a more reliable machine. I don’t knock Apple for doing this,...

[wizard69]

No they need to go their own way which hopefully the world of free software would support. Beyond that not everything Apple is bad, if a Linux vendor...

[wizard69]

This seems like an incredibly misinformed post.


First off well managed control is not a bad thing. QT is similarly controlled...

[wizard69]

Why should System 76 be required to use any one bios update solution. That makes about as much sense as insisting that all scripting be done in BASH...

[wizard69]

It depends upon them focusing on what Apple does right vs what Apple does wrong. If one focuses on joy on what Apple does wrong then you end up with...

[wizard69]

Pretty impressive. AMD managing to win a few on a wattage basisvis perhaps the most interesting result here. Pretty much removes most arguments for...

[wizard69]

Even with LPDDR4X the APU will be strangled. This is the fundamental issue people seem to be missing in this discussion.

I can actually see...

[wizard69]

Wow!

i can remember building the kernel for Redhat 4 or 5 on a laptop of the day. It was one of those things where you go to bed and hope...

[wizard69]

I don’t mind that RPI 4 comes without a heat sink. What is problematic is that Raspberry PI did not provide for a proper fan header or other solution...

[wizard69]

I'm not about to knock NVidia from coming out of their proprietary nonsense but does anybody else have the feeling that using a GPU for machine learning...

[wizard69]

I have to wonder why people get so wrapped up in DE selection. It is the apps that make or break Linux for me. In that regard, I don’t care if the...

[wizard69]

It really isn’t that bad. I went default Fedora and can’t really complain. One can always wis for more powerful solutions for the 1A% of the time...

[wizard69]

Higher IPC always leads to better performance as long as the compilers keep the pipelines full. As for video encode/decide why the tangent? Intel...
