I’ve been using a 12 Pro and if it wasn’t for the version number in the name I wouldn’t even be aware of its age. They are all so fast these days the battery dies long before it becomes too slow to use. If it wasn’t for CarPlay and iMessage I’d absolutely use a flip phone with Android Go or something.

Additionally, as a high level emulator Yuzu sacrifices some accuracy for speed. It’s possible that this allows it to also be faster than the official implementation.

Noob. I once accidentally seeded to a ratio of 435 and blew 2TB of data 🥴

Let’s be real they wouldn’t notice at all lol

They also claimed to have “quantum” phased radar. Until we see it in Janes or other OSINT it isn’t credible.

It was rhetorical.

Unfortunately the problem lies with the foundation. The one thing they made worth a damn in the past decade was Rust, and they promptly fired the whole Rust team. Servo is maintained by the Linux foundation now ffs. What does the foundation do besides zombie walk and eat Googles money?

Cloud native as in “we were founded and began our operations fully remote and via cloud services”. Our company owns no physical assets.

I was hybrid at my last job and I’m full remote at my current one (company is cloud native), I will never again work onsite unless I’m seeing a huge raise for it. The office isn’t worth the time or politics.

In the spirit of Aloha, this should be an island holiday.

Same. Install Firefox on a ChromeBook, which are almost all universally low powered, then watch it chug.

I don’t care how long the former CEO has been involved with the foundation, she has not been good for Mozilla.

When they’re done with you they don’t just destroy your life, but your legacy too. To serve as a warning to anyone else thinking of betraying them. That’s tradecraft.

I said something similar once before when they first announce me their decision to kneecap themselves, but it’s worth saying again:

They gained nothing from this decision. We used CentOS to trial deployments to prod servers running RHEL. We like how stable RHEL was. We appreciated the service agreements. We especially like how CentOS freed us from worrying about licensing. Their boneheaded decision ruined all of that. Before I left we had plans to migrate off RHEL (I asked an old coworker they actively are) because we can’t trust IBM not to Oracle us with some other world-ending BS in six months. Hundreds of RHEL servers and licenses gone, for what? They lost control of the open-source narrative when they shotgunned CentOS, and now the community initiative is led by people who don’t like them. Do yourself a favor and make it a priority to achieve Linux platform independence before RedHat is further Borgified by Big Blue.

Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.

Over the past five years infosec has turned into a shitshow of showboating. Every exploit has to have a logo and catchy name. Attacks are widely hyped up despite the conditions for usage being extremely difficult or outright stupid. If you are assigning blanket permissions to a group that shouldn’t have it that is your fault. Obstructing stupidity is not in the scope of the container engine.

Ironically this may serve to further them from their goals regarding Taiwan. The further they become politically and socially, the more difficult assimilation becomes. I think in 25 years it won’t be possible anymore. By then we are likely to see not an event like Hong Kong, but outright war before such a thing occurs. Geographically, any such imposition would appear as an invasion. That’s why we see China doing their best to meddle with their elections. Assuming TSMC maintains its relevance, and they gain recognition from some western powers. Not that far off if you can believe it.

Any word on what the hardware specs are? Someone there used their brain and loaded up SteamOS, but the hardware needs to be worth the jump or it’s just a steam deck clone.

Their CEO is the biggest symptom of their problem. She demands a sky high compensation despite her poor leadership. The company has been in a spiraling decline for the past decade now. Instead of focusing on bringing a great user experience, they alienated their most staunch users with things like Pocket and allowed PWAs and Electron to eat their lunch.

I worked as a DOD contractor for several years. The downfall of Boeing is a case study in toxic leadership. Boeing was once known as the juggernaut in the industry, capable of engineering amazing feats that only someone as large as them could pull off. Over the past decade, that reputation has become inverted. They are of the butt of many jokes. Their merger with Douglas brought out the worst in Douglas and drove out the best in Boeing. I worked for a competing firm, but in many situations we have to cooperate with competing firms in order to deliver on contracts. When I say that interactions with Boeing have left me bewildered, I am speaking conservatively. Management has become overrun with penny pinchers and career MBAs. Engineers are no longer leading the company, and it shows. The quality of components coming out of Boeing these days is frankly terrifying. I book flights with Delta and unfortunately, they have opted to contract for several Boeing MAX airliners. I will cancel my flight if my itinerary shows that I will be flying on such an aircraft. The odds of an incident are incredibly slim, but having worked in aerospace, I will not take the risk. Vote with your wallet and do the same.

I warned you lol. Can’t talk about it without someone putting words in your mouth. Trolls, malingerers, and plain old people getting mad.
