This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

YouTube is the virus

🤮

pretty, but mid-air projection holography is still just smoke & mirrors (literally).

i’m not sure that i agree with this at all. Microsoft, itself, has been having issues lately, and i don’t think this is a Bing vs Google search thing. But i believe those issues are temporary.

Overall, the direction that Google is taking with its search engine is probably a bigger threat to Google, considering, i suspect, people really aren’t going to like it.

Not so easy with paper.

I had suggested a metal plate, not paper.

Even Iranians are celebrating his death

Iran’s supreme leader has announced a five-day mourning period, but there have been fireworks and cheering in the country since the death was confirmed

USB drives don’t mix well with water

Than an etched metal plate?

You wouldn’t use a car to race in the Kentucky Derby

It’s FRAM, which has been around for ages. The problem is its prohibitive cost— hence the 8k.

What’s the practical benefit of that? If the point is long-term storage, rewriting isn’t a priority (or possibly even a need). And this isn’t designed for capacity.

An actual book stores more data than that and for longer. At that point, why not just etch the data onto a metal plate or something? 8K is only a few pages of text at 12pt. It could easily fit onto two sides of a small-ish metal plate, etched in 8pt or so, and it would last, potentially, for millennia.

Your personal disapproval of Apple’s direction does not negate their contributions.

Show me on the doll Where Apple hurt you…

I cited a couple of examples, that doesn’t mean I had to cite the entire pantheon in order to be correct.

Your lack of understanding and your narrowmindedness is not my fault.

Your hate and your personal anger against Apple is something you have to reconcile on your own.

Work out your own problems with a shrink. They have no place here.

If you can’t discuss simple technological issues without having an ego battle, it’s time to check yourself.

No shit, and I was pretty clear about how I described it in differentiating from what that project is doing from what Apple is doing. Try not to rage hate before you actually read what I said.

I’m not. And if you couldn’t tell that from what I said, then, you obviously didn’t bother to actually read it, you just made a judgment because I said the word Apple.

You clearly are either having difficulty reading what I said, or did not bother to read what I said. Nothing of what you said reflect accurately my comment. Read my comment again, and perhaps you’ll have a better understanding.

I really don’t get

I really understand that. Because you went to a great deal of effort to explain how you also went to a great deal of effort, not to understand what I went through a great deal of effort to explain. You also went to a great deal of effort to explain how you have ignored multiple sources of information, explaining what you don’t understand.

You’ve gone to a great deal of effort to explain that you don’t understand what I said, because you ignored everything I said, and the services I provided to explain it. I can only recommend at this point that you revisit the comment you replied to two, because it provides everything to explain everything you claim to not understand.

I just hope that this time, you do it in good faith, rather than an intentional effort to sabotage further intelligent discussion.
