React-ncurses FTW

I wish more terminals supported Tektronix and ReGIS graphics. We could do some really interesting visuals with those.

And, sometimes, all you want is to output text.

Looking into the Apple counterpart, an M5 Max with 128GB of RAM and 2TB of flash, it comes at around EUR 6K here in Ireland, probably in the $5K range in the US. I am assuming Microsoft will charge a similar premium for it, because this is not a machine that'll help with vendor lock-in for them - it helps mostly Nvidia, so Microsoft and other OEMs will likely get the chips with lower margins.

It's also a way for Nvidia to protect itself (a bit) from the impending doom at the AI datacenter sector.

I'm not sure beta voltaics will ever reach LiPo densities. All materials I know would be unwise to place in your wallet, or anywhere near your body.

If we are OK with a battery and a beta voltaic source, a tritium one is reasonably safe and can trickle charge the battery when the device is in deep low power mode. The battery can still be charged by the induction coil.

As anyone working in a large corporation can immediately tell you, "dead but breathing" is much more common than one might guess.

Doom runs on ARM.

I still have one. Sadly, not really useful anymore.

I would love if the screen could take up more space, even at the expense of a little extra thickness.

The other day I was considering the adoption of a POWER7+ box. Sadly, Linux hasn't supported POWER7 in quite some time. The machine looked pretty nice, with 4 CPUs with 8 cores each, a total of 128 threads and 512 GB of RAM. I'm not sure it'd run AIX without a license though, which is unfortunate - it's a gorgeous box.

Lots of companies buy average Dell and Lenovo laptops because they are repairable in-house.

> NVIDIA already commands a legendary reputation for graphics drivers

“Legendary”, not a “great”, or “good” one. Certainly not “excellent” or “spotless” but, definitely, legendary.

Who writes these pieces?

One of the key features of the MacBook is a rock-solid Unix operating system. Windows ain’t one, therefore this might, at best, be a nice, thin, fast, Windows ARM computer with a lot of RAM. If you want a Windows computer, this might be it. Otherwise, there are better options: x86, which will not be as fast or light, but can easily run Linux, or a Mac, which is light, fast, and runs Unix.

The backrooms version of an Apple Store… I’ve been to precisely one and it was, indeed, a sad experience.

You’d also need to pay me a lot to use Windows. I even have an assigned Windows virtual desktop at work, but I also have a MacBook for actual work - the VDI is only used for the stuff that doesn’t quite work right on Macs.
