I was a little bit disappointed by GSMarena for using a verbatim headline instead of adding terms like “manufacturer provided” and/or “alleged”.

Did not know that. But that that’s exactly how it is supposed to work.

Mastadon has a huge far right population?

It really is exciting to see alternative battery systems beginning to see wider commercialization.

I am not aware of sodium-ion batteries for home use, I believe it’s mostly for industrial-scale battery systems. I could be wrong though, would be interested in learning more.

In an apartment setting, IMO the current gold standard is LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate) batteries.

I live in Ukraine and we have constant problems with electricity supply (thank you dear russians). At times you have 1-2 full charge/discharge cycles per day on a 1 Kilowatt-hour battery system. Several LiFePO4 systems in my extended family seem to work close to baseline even after 1.5 years (not used daily though).

I have not seen any options for sodium-ion batteries for home use, but this maybe a local thing.

In a more rural/suburban setting, generators work as backup power supplies for most people. Typically only the well off get a high capacity LiFePO4 systems for house setting.

It is very likely.

I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).

No, TSMC is not supposed to be a permanent solution. Just Arrow Lake.

This would be an excellent law/regulation that makes complete sense.

The major companies can most definitely manage this (although they will cry crocodile tears).

That’s definitely true.

The rested on their lawrels when they were the only game in town from the late 2000s to ~2018.

Considering the price, I would assume it’s likely 64GB (maybe 128 GB).

That would not be a good thing. The CPU/GPU design and semiconductor fab industries are already massively concentrated.

You don’t understand the terms “censorship” or “free speech”. It’s a mere internet polemic for you, something to act out about .

You have no clue what you are talking about.

I think you need to cancel your citizenship (and your family members’ citizenships) and move to russia or PRC.

Cheers! Thanks for the heads up!

Don’t know how it is in the US, but you don’t get any support for Pixel where I live.

Samsung on the other hand is excellent, they even have retail locations.

Interesting solution with multi SBC/motherboards.

There are pros/cons to anonymous payments. It’s a bit sophomoric to claim privacy is impossible without anonymous payments.

There are most definitely many use cases for .onion sites without any sort of payments (“anonymous” or otherwise).

Monero support is a massive red flag for criminal activity, even by the very low standards of crypto.

I didn’t really get this either.

I did think the final paragraph was notable, a “zeitgeist of our times” if you will:

The absurdity of the situation prompted tech author and journalist James Vincent to write on X, “current tech trends are resistant to satire precisely because they satirize themselves. a car park of empty cars, honking at one another, nudging back and forth to drop off nobody, is a perfect image of tech serving its own prerogatives rather than humanity’s.”

Seems like a very neat SBC, the $25 variant has modest RAM/eMMC, but should be enough to get a light system going.
