I don’t know the exact reason but yeah. “Marketing” departments don’t get to just make fundamental product decisions in any company I’ve ever interacted with.

For your specific question: Why is Linux not supported in the BASIC tier?

This is AMD’s marketing decision.

Translation, we looked at the books and thought this could make us more money.

Short answer, terminals are built on the same technology as physical terminals from the 60s and 70s when controlling the flow of data from the server was a more useful feature.

No war in ba sing se.

I know this is funny and I had a laugh but modern led displays have brightness zones and can dim backlighting in dark areas. so a big bright image also uses more power than a dark image on them as well. I know, fun party facts 😅

People saying good things about the snapmaker u1. Also have a friend with the centauri carbon and it seems to do well. Don’t know about the multi filament setup though, he bought it before the release.

Over the last few years I’ve found ddg results work better. To be clear, I don’t know that ddg has actually gotten better. But Google’s quality has just nose dived to the point it’s better.

I’m also trying kagi. It feels so different I’m not hooked yet. But the layout is just different enough it’s a bit jarring to skim after decades of training on Google’s results.

I’m hopeful though because I hear other people talking about it a good bit. At this point, I don’t know if there’s another model to trust either.

People saying this believe you should be able to do whatever you like with the things you purchase without additional conditions. If that’s not the case, in some sense, you don’t own it.

It’s possible that it doesn’t matter to you. Apple is incredibly popular and tight controls on what you can do are their entire business model so clearly it’s a model that works for companies.

But to the people that do care, they tend to care a lot. It’s infuriating. They’ve been supporting, evangelizing, even developing the android ecosystem and this feels like a rug pull.

Mango’s videos are great. I’d wager there are gems in there for even experienced users of freecad. I’m often surprised by some of the tricks he has.

I absolutely love freecad. There are dozens of us that actually really like it

“improve security”

isn’t basically common knowledge at this point phone recovery methods decrease security? How do companies keep getting away with this.

never had a large qa team. And my experience has when we have qa resources, people move to the new feature so it’s up to the developers to not break the critical features everyone forgets about until they break. And I’ve yet to meet a developer that has time to also be a full time qa resource

I meant my first sentence to be an apology for jumping to conclusions but it clearly isn’t. It’s late. Sorry for the snarky response.

I see it seemed more like a weird flex.

Anyways, I couldnt possibly deploy with any confidence a large project or honestly a small project I expected someone to rely on without layers of test. Unintended consequences of even a small change are just a reality. And with the expectation to move quick with large legacy systems, if you don’t have tests that’s a dangerous high wire act.

Is this like a who’s got a bigger portfolio situation? I’m not sure how to respond

I guess I’ve been developing for decades including consulting for Page 6, a stint in RD at Sony Music. One of my open source contributions was used as part of the backend for one of Obama’s State of the Unions. I spend my time these days writing and maintaining multiple software stacks integrating across multiple platforms.

I think we do very different development.

You… just started writing unit tests?

I kind of agree it’s a multiplier. But so far every time I’ve had it do something its written such an ugly turd I have to rewire it all taking more time than if I’d just solved the problem to start with. Maybe someday but it’s not up to the quality I expect of development.

I remember several decades ago when I dug into wine things asynch io was a thing there was a lot of discussion over. Apparently windows actually has a very robust asyncio interface that’s emulated with a bunch of epoll and other logic.

I believe a lot of games did tricks with this and the hacks sometimes had performance costs.

A quick Google says that’s still a thing being worked on and there’s a newish io_uring but apparently that has problems. So maybe that’s a place we can see improvements in the future.

I to have multi tiered backups for my laptops and do regular restores to validate them. Same for my parents and all my non technical family and friends. Its amazing that big companies mess this up since everyone does it. It’s just so cheap and easy to do. /s
