You're either for us, or you're against us! Anyone who doesn't goose step to our mantra is a racist! Everyone on your street has a BLM yard sign except...

[torsionbar28]

I honestly have no idea what you're saying here. I don't think you do either. Who is talking about the right to bear arms??...

[torsionbar28]

The even stranger thing, is that when you look at the numbers, the killing of unarmed citizens by police in the US is so rare it's hardly worth talking...

[torsionbar28]

Political correctness, this "inclusive terminology" nonsense, cancel culture. It is all a cancer. Full stop....

[torsionbar28]

Honestly, at this point, they should abandon support for any CPU's using larger than 7 nm process node....

[torsionbar28]

Nonsense, your brother was gifted a used car presumably because he cannot afford a new one. So even that new Toyota you speak of is out of reach for him....

[torsionbar28]

Apple is not targeting your brother's market with their products. Plain and simple. Whether you're talking cars, houses, electronics, clothing, literally...

[torsionbar28]

Agreed, I live near an islamic immigrant community. People who come from countries where women are forbidden from ever driving a car. Putting a woman...

[torsionbar28]

Too bad for you, that won't be an option. Tis the nature of a closed proprietary system. You can spend $2500 on one of their overpriced laptops, of...

There is nothing "eco" about the Apple company or its products. Let us count the ways... planned product obsolescence, non replaceable batteries,...

[torsionbar28]

Yes the plusses in the '14nm++++' moniker indicate incremental improvements over the original 14nm in 2014, that much is widely understood. However, If...

At the highest level, intel launching new processors in 2020 that use the same process node as Broadwell which shipped in Sept 2014 means that at $10,000...

[torsionbar28]

No we mustn't do that. Far too dangerous. Think of all the poor vendors and consultants who make big money supporting this IT merry-go-round. Think...

[torsionbar28]

It isn't meant to be impressive. It's meant to be utilitarian. It's a unique combination of features in a compact user friendly package. Kind of like...

[torsionbar28]

They don't need to keep pace, if they can obsolete the FOSS. I.e. they "extend" the feature set of WSL, to where commercial software (e.g....

[torsionbar28]

It's mainly software developers, IT types, and scientific workstations that run Linux. Plus the enthusiast/hobbyist crowd. Historically not much different...

[torsionbar28]

Pardon my ignorance; I don't have any hands on experience with recent Windows server versions or with WSL. That said, what is the use case for WSL on...

[torsionbar28]

I'm not so sure. As poor as the quality has been on Win10, I don't think anyone is in love with it. Windows OS has never been tops in terms of stability,...

[torsionbar28]

The free stack shows "Mesa and SGI" as the OpenGL vendor, while the AMDGPU-Pro stack shows "AMD" as the GL vendor. As to the differences...

[torsionbar28]

Personally I would prefer a real server chip. Right now AMD has a gap in their server lineup. There are no Zen parts that replace the Opteron 4000 series....
