Don’t know if they continued to renew it, but macOS was officially certified as unix for a few years!

I wouldn’t work a windows exclusive job, it’s a deal breaker for me, so I’d definitely ask. I work in an all Mac shop that does enterprise cloud architecture.

Docker or Kubernetes work well on a cluster. Before containers this was a lot more work to set up, but these days you just need to image them all, put them on the network, and then use some kind of container orchestration to send them containers/pods.

Cause windows sucks and licenses?

Not a gentoo fan I take it

Alright now compile some drivers from source!

You cant re-use an old connector, you’ll have to crimp on a new one. It may or may not be worth buying the tool/ends depending on the length of the cable.

You can buy a cable crimper and a bag of the ends on Amazon, prob for $20-$40, but if it’s just one small patch cable you’re trying to fix, you can probably buy that for $5.

I ran Ethernet through my whole house and outside for cameras, so it was worth it to me to buy the tools and spools of cable.

China sounds like a great place to live and work!

I’m not defending- I’m trying to understand the “outrage”. The article seems pretty clear it was more a tech limitation of existing silicon rather than a specific choice of the design, but who knows.

I’m not buying one either way, so think what you want!

So would 60 megabytes a second really hamper your workflow?

Yeah I can dump like 20-30 watts into my iPhone 12. It goes from 0 to 100 in under an hour, maybe 50% in 20 min.

I didn’t look what kind of input wattage new phone handles but I doubt it went backwards. Even MagSafe charges at about 15 watts.

I get it, usb2 is old- you guys really copying hundreds of gigs to and from your phones that much? I’ve literally never copied files on/off via cable, not since the iPhone 4. Between airdrop, wifi, and 5G unlimited data I’ve never had the need.

I copy vids from Plex to my phone over wifi at close to 100MBps- that’s like 40 gigs of movies in 6 or 7 minutes without even having to go to my computer.

I just don’t really understand the use case here- would you guys pay extra to have 40Gbps thunderbolt on your phone? Would you actually use it? Do you really exercise high volumes of drive capacity regularly?

Oh another battery tech never to be released!

I did it once on the first intel MacBook. It compiled for like 14 hours.

Yeah I mean, at one time this might have meant the difference between wanting to save money in a bank vs wanting to invest in infrastructure projects, but today it basically means wanting to drown brown kids in a Texas river, arm teachers with guns, engrave law onto a woman’s uterus, shut down education, overthrow the government, bring back racism, sexism, classism, bigotry, homophobia, climate change denialism, anti intellectual, greedy, go back to religious fundamentalism vs not any of those things. It’s become batshit insanity vs people that are just ordinary rational.

So yeah, maybe chat gpt didn’t get enough lessons from mein kampf to be “center”, but come the fuck on, the right is absofuckinglutly awful. Like just the worst human beings imaginable. The fucking figurehead of the right has over 50 felony indictments against him, is that really a fair right vs left? It’s fucking Evil vs normal at this point.

If everyone in the Republican Party wasn’t a mouth breathing, con-man, shit stirring crook, I might buy the balance argument a little bit better, but there is absolutely rampant corruption, hypocrisy and downright inhumane things proliferating on the right with absolutely no equal on the left.

I’d rather have some dreadlocked, crunchy hippy talking about higher minimum wage than some ignorant blowhard saying global warming isn’t real and let’s arm all the kids to cut down on school shootings. Jesus fucking Christ.

It’s not as bad as all that. Start simple and small. Install Ubuntu Linux on an old computer and just play around. I think you’ll find it pretty similar to what you’re used to.

Once you feel like you can get around, then you can start toying with more advanced stuff like the command line. There’s no reason that you have to start there- you can ease in slow. Learn 1 command a day. Try to accomplish as task in linux that’s new for you. After you do a few things it’ll start to feel natural. Baby steps!

Quad core atom I believe

Synology- Synology 8 Bay NAS Diskstation… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMKDW42?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have 3 - but I get that runtime out of one of them. Depends on load, but idle the nas doesn’t draw too much.

Well I did buy the last one a couple years ago so that tracks. CCC is absolutely the way to go though, it’s a must. I think I also grabbed one at Costco <$200 at one point.
