anecdotally, I’ve built a lot of projects and abandoned them because I ran out of time. With an LLM to reduce the input effort I actually think I would’ve maintained them longer.

do you have a source which backs up what you’re claiming?

it shouldn’t matter.

these tools are here to stay.

MDM on MacOS still kinda sucks compared to Linux or Windows. I mean, it’s fine. But they genuinely have work to do there

this MacBook is going to have 10x the battery life of your used laptop, and weigh less.

plus, it’s brand new so it has a warranty and doesn’t require people to spend time searching for a good deal.

this is an excellent product launch at a good price and it is gonna sell like hotcakes

this has been well covered by now. just cause it works in product x, doesn’t mean it was implemented correctly in product y

There were stability issues with the video out. People love to assume malice but most of the time there was actually good reasons

nice to have that sort of freedom, since the majority of companies use some Microsoft products

not even arguable, you’re right

yeah good GUIs are really important for people who use a lot of programs lol.

I can’t remember everything at once, I’ve got better things to do

it is open source https://github.com/stoatchat/

no idea, but they have such a low range they aren’t very useful for self-driving which relies more on understanding your surroundings and planning a route.

ultrasonic sensors were never used outside of auto parking anyways

Starlink is definitely faster than all but the most expensive GEO services (and those require specialized hardware)

there’s no fundamental physics limitation that makes this true. in fact, light in a vacuum travels faster than in glass fiber, so the theoretical latency of LEO internet is actually faster compared to fiber over a certain distance

Yeah it’s an enormous pain in the ass. I don’t bother anymore

I’m glad it works for you, but this would not work at my company. We have much stricter network controls

it’s also not always easy to buy those. nobody wants to use cryptocurrency unless it is easy to get cryptocurrency

Yeah, go ahead and install your own Linux distro. Now you can’t authenticate to the internal network or use any of the services.

At the end of the day, corporate being able to manage Linux is what makes it possible to be used in an enterprise environment. There are regulatory and auditing requirements that would otherwise make Linux not an option.

Many of us find ourselves to be more effective on Linux. There is some business requirement in terms of the service runs on Linux, but they didn’t have to let people have it on their personal workstations

that’s not true if it’s company managed
