I think the ability to have an always-on display somewhat negated the need for a notification LED. It did for me, at least.
His accent alone would destroy whole planets
They actually are putting data centers underwater now. Turns out having them sealed and pumped full of nitrogen lengthens the service life of the equipment considerably.
Life, uh…life finds a way
I think you mean “suite” instead of “suit.”
Sure it could have. They just needed to bolt a payment processor onto the whole mess and they’d have been printing money.
If the Democrats were willing to negotiate at all, this would be an excellent starting point. Sadly, they’re going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until the whole thing gets scrapped and we’re back where we started. Part of me wonders if that isn’t the point.
Gamers are the biggest reason for the decline of the games industry. Entitled half-aware idiots demanding features that give them bigger and bigger hits of dopamine have driven the entire industry into the ground. The celebration of toxicity in the community hasn’t helped a damn thing, either.
It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.
As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.
Does Armored Core count as a souls game? The newest one kinda felt souls-ish, but the combat feels so different to me that I have trouble including it in the genre.
If it does count, then that’s literally the only one I’ve ever been able to tolerate.
Yes. Life gets in the way sometimes.
The Intel Panther Lake chips apparently approach the same kind of battery life as the M-series chips, so the newer XPS machines actually look like a worthwhile competitor that’s capable of running Linux.
EDIT: The Framework 13 Pro also has a panther lake chip and promises pretty beastly battery life, so if OP is willing to wait, that might be a good alternative as well.
Yeah high 50s is actually excellent for a CPU under load…
Man, I was having a good day, too…
I’m not sure what you mean. It already had complete dominance of the smartphone market, which was, at the time, still growing.
The only IPO I ever jumped on was ARM Holdings, and that actually ended up doubling within a couple weeks. Made a tidy profit on it, then dumped it when it plateaued.
I do, but a lot of them are actually pretty fond memories. I hate to say it, but it was a really good job. I was also on the AR/VR team, so my experience was a bit different from that of the rest of the company.
Many employees at Meta have been working from “hot desks,” a controversial scheme involving multiple workers sharing the same desks.
They were doing this as far back as 2020, as I recall. It was my least favorite part of going into the office because you had to reserve a desk, and you were never guaranteed the same desk on any given day.
I know some people who would actually kill for a physical T9 keyboard so they could touch-type. It’s not my cup of tea, but I can definitely see it being a major draw for people who grew up texting on a real flip phone.
They do have other products to prop them up, so I’m hopeful
