He can’t do that. If French soldiers march into the war officially, Putin would fight against a NATO state. Making it mandatory for every other NATO state to also jump in. Viola we have WW3.

Depends, some of the government apps are actually pretty well done and you don’t want to end up with an unofficial ID card app that steals your identity. The German Ausweis App is a good example of a well done gov app.

That’s really sad to hear. The IT world is still a very hostile place especially for woman.

Lol. Microsoft will never beat apple when in comes to how well their system runs on ARM hardware. simply because Apple has 3 chips to support that they know perfectly. Microsoft Windows would need to support whatever ARM chip comes out which will be an overgrowing number. This fact alone makes it extremely hard.

On the other hand Microsoft has already won in some way. Even with Apple silicon, Apple computers are still way less used then Windows PCs. So it’s not like windows is the underdog here. They are only fighting to stay in their monopoly.

The primary reason for people to use windows is still gaming and specialized software like CAD. Windows on ARM will not be used by anyone unless AAA games or AutoCAD software is build for ARM and Nvidia and AMD GPUs can be easily coupled with it.

I don’t see this coming at all. The only area where cheap, low power ARM PCs with windows would make sense, Linux or ChromeOS would be the way better and cheaper option. I don’t see any market for high performy ARM PCs with windows on them until demanding software and hardware supports it.

The Linux or macos path, if there is one is always less painful.

If there isn’t one, if the a manufacturer doesn’t support other os’ then you should demand this support from them. They will only listen to money. So take your money to an alternative or offer money for the support.

The point is that it’s not Linux’ fault that program x is not natively supported on Linux. It’s the programs fault and partly yours/your employers for choosing it.

That still doesn’t stop you from using Linux or macos on your private devices. I’m also forced to use awful software at work but that’s I call a fraction of my salary pain money (Schmerzensgeld). That’s fine. If it is enough I’m willing to deal with Microsoft, Autodesk and the like. But in my personal life. I have the choice and I would never use it if I don’t like it.

Seems like there is zero difference between the 8840u and the 7840u. At least I can’t find one. Why is it 100$ more then?

Why are people still using Windows? Seems to me that the pain to use it is still not big enough. I welcome every move that increases the pain and drives people to better options.

Does it have a touch screen? I can’t find that anywhere. Also no price info.

I would never use a 3D printer without auto bed leveling ever again. It’s not expensive to build it into your printer. Every major printer manufacturer has some version of this feature by now. Knobs and manual bed leveling is a thing of the past.

Your didn’t have to be a Marxist to realize that.

We have what? m( According to Wikipedia it’s only banned in Bavaria. So Germany is unaffected.

And still I’m not taking about nvk nor am I taking about nouveau. I’m taking about the open source drivers from nvidia. https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

Based on what I heard from people who use it. I don’t have a nvidia card so can’t tell.

Nvidia pretty much always dominated the AI GPU market with their closed source driver and Cuda. Nothing has changed about that except for more competition in AI specific hardware which you can buy from several vendors now. But no one has ever used AMD cards with OpenCL for AI or ML. If you were serious about it, you always used Nvidia with Cuda or nowadays some dedicated AI accelerator card (DPUs).

I’m not talking about Nouveau. I’m talking about the Open Source drivers from Nvidia. They released them a while ago and they’ve gotten pretty good lately.

Yes Nvidia is still a shitty company like every other. But their open source drivers run pretty well by now.

Learn what manners are and delete your non-answer.

Die sollte man aber auch haben. Motorrad fahren ohne ordentliche Kombi ist wie Auto fahren ohne anschnallen.

Most units shipped doesn’t mean most popular. In my experience Mediatek SOCs are the worst. They are the cheapest, but also the worst. I would take any Samsung or Qualcomm over them.
