Yeah, instead of 0%, fixed payment loans, people should take on 18-60% apr credit cards instead! That’ll help people unable to afford large purchases in a single go!
Even better, they could just buy cheaper stuff! Poor people deserve to buy leaky boots every year! /s
Seems little has changed from 2011, when Apple cancelled plans for a Llano based Macbook Air, as AMD couldn’t guarantee stable supply.
Additionally, both Microsoft and Sony secured their own contracts with TSMC for fabrication of their console APUs, since they couldn’t trust supply from AMD to be stable.
And AI will eventually go down (it will go up a lot before that though) as hardware becomes fast enough.
Crypto by design will never decrease.
That already happened with Crypto.
AI will use less power over time, as hardware gets faster and we approach a ‘good enough’ level of computation power, similar to Desktops/Laptops - outside gaming, electrical power for the average desktop has only decreased since Sandy Bridge, a 2600K is still good enough for the average desktop, it can still even pull punches gaming.
Crypto, by design, will never decrease in power use and only and forever increase.

It’s OK for Google to massively overcharge for Phones, it’s only bad when Apple does it.

20 year old dispenser there too. (date code says 08/05)
Too bad ‘Fairphone’ actively prevent them being sold outside Europe. (they ban shipping forwarders and their ‘global partners’ only sell FairPhone to Europe)

Doesn’t have additional fluff like scrobbing or telling Spotify about every track you listen to get their albumart. (though you might want this, that’s fine)
Browsing is by folder structure, not via tags. Again, this is a preference thing, I prefer to browse by folder structure, since just about every player wants to define the ‘album artist’/‘artist’ split differently and some do and don’t support ‘sort artist’ tag.
node.js v. Go+ReactJS (nodejs is mature now and is a single dep, golang is pretty mature but react is moving fast and breaking things)
Really just depends on what features you want.
Shout out for mStream - the simplest and best cloud music server.
Low dependency count, very low overhead, no fees or ‘premium’ options like Plex and co. - just a simple html or api to app interface to your music, with optional transcoding (one setting for the whole server, if there was one complication I’d add to mstream it would be per-user transcoding options)
Works great with super large libraries.
Only big caveat i’ve noticed, is that it sends the albumart every track, so if you’ve got some music with a 1500x1500 ~500-1500KiB coverart, it’ll eat your data a bit more than it should. Obviously this doesn’t matter if you’ve got unlimited mobile data.
Lifespan per NAND cell, which gets exponentially smaller with each extra ‘layer’ per cell. SLC can do billions of writes per cell, QLC is ~1000 writes per cell.
Does a Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon count as a ‘PC’ to you?
Indeed, it would be… Interjecting.
Which gives me a little silly smile.
