^ said no one who's actually bought a Zen CPU. Intel, on the other hand......

Wow, that's a pretty significant lead AMD has over intel, not just in raw performance, but also in performance per dollar spent. My my how the tables...

Chrome and Android should both be categorized as spyware. A Google product? No thanks!

[torsionbar28]

Dell.... no thanks.

[torsionbar28]

^ Yup, exactly what I used. This turns Chromebook into a normal laptop, no more development mode headaches....

[torsionbar28]

Could be some of those Outreachy diversity pigeons. Fly in, $h!t all over, commit a few token gesture LoC, then fly off to "contribute" els...

[torsionbar28]

You're absolutely right, systemd is not the problem, in fact, it's the solution. Simply merge the kernel code with systemd. We would call it "Systemd...

[torsionbar28]

That's disappointing to hear. You can buy a used i3 Chromebook for $99, install Coreboot + your fav distro, and have a working machine with 10+ hrs battery,...

[torsionbar28]

Huh? This is what YOU were suggesting as an alternative to the conversion methods.


Spoken like someone who has never actually managed...

[torsionbar28]

The entire purpose of this effort is to move away from SVN. Splitting the version history across two incompatible systems is worse than doing nothing...

Sorry, you don't understand how product launches work. Find me a part number for an 18 or 20 TB drive. You cannot, because they don't exist. The industry...

[torsionbar28]

Which is the "cringy" naming? Enterprise disk-based backup? That's not my naming, that's common terminology for the industry and market segment....

[torsionbar28]

That's a whole lot of blue light. You should read up on how disruptive blue light is to circadian rhythm. Not good for your health!...

EU law doesn't apply on this side of the pond! Internet FTW....

[torsionbar28]

I wonder if this is based on page views, or source ip, or something else? If a Phoronix Subscriber is browsing while not logged in and with blockers...

[torsionbar28]

x2, choice is good, but personally not a fan (pun intended) of the county fair look. I left mine unplugged. Does it come with cotton candy and a funnel...

[torsionbar28]

Sounds like if IOMMU is a requirement to have feature complete USB4, the days of Chinese vendors omitting it may be numbered....

[torsionbar28]

Sorry to say no. I'm talking about shipping products you can buy today. The 18 and 20 TB sizes are future products, not shipping until later in 2020....

[torsionbar28]

Some folks are so drawn to conspiracy theory nonsense, they'll concoct new ones on the fly to fit any discussion topic. Maybe they've watched too many...

[torsionbar28]

Not to mention that while AMD invented x86-64 and released Athlon64 and Opteron, Intel's answer to 64 bit computing was the Itanium....
