XenGi

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.

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.

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.

Synology usually just works. If you ask for a diy build, you have to be more specific.

Das heißt wir reden hier nicht davon das Frauen weniger verdienen als Männer sondern das manche Berufe einen geringeren Stundenlohn haben als andere. Das Geschlecht ist dabei nicht relevant. Captain obvious in action.

Das heißt natürlich nicht das es den gender pay gap nicht gibt. Der ist natürlich real aber eben durch andere Faktoren erklärbar.

Just another reason to ditch Microsoft wherever possible.

My journey was:

• Mandrake/Mandriva
• Debian (v2.4)
• Ubuntu (v6.04)
• Debian (8)
• Arch Linux
• NixOS

I left Debian for Ubuntu when it simply worked better and left Ubuntu when it became too restrictive and weird. I need a working system but my freedom to experiment. Then I discovered arch and never looked back. Still kept Debian on servers.

Currently using arch on desktop machines and nixos on my servers. But I use nix for Dev environments and dotfiles even on arch.

Not sure if I’ll stay with NixOS but for now that seems like the direction I’m going to. Still love Arch Linux for it’s freedom though, but I’m getting older and don’t have the time to fiddle with everything.

Wer hätte es gedacht das ein gewinnorientiertes Unternehmen auf einmal versucht Gewinn aus unseren Daten zu schlagen?! Mir ist es weiterhin ein Rätsel wie es legal sein kann dass sie Schufa überhaupt erst ab meine Daten kommt.

The thing about ansible is to always remember that it really is just a backup python script that gets copied to your server and executed. Yes it works quite well, but you have to be careful to not have break on you.

For me the difference to nix is, that my bud expression will actually always produce the same output or tell me it can’t. Instead of ansible which will fail after some updates went past.

For now, sure. I mean the reason for these changes are short term earnings like always. But it won’t with in the long term.

You will make a difference because you’re not the only one. Thx for doing the right thing. With enough pressure maybe they’ll learn.

Same applies to every other OS. It depends on what you’re used to and what you expect. I frequently rage quit apple devices. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with. I just can’t recommend windows anymore for privacy related reasons.
