Why? There is no evidence that ARM is the only power efficient CPU. i5, i3 and n100 are all power efficient.
> no video, no audio
Why? Disable onboard video if you care that much.
> lots of memory (or SODIMM slot) and 10+ SATA ports
This eats power, conflicting with the rest of your requests.
> Sure, anyone can buy a self-powered USB3 hub and add 7 external HDDs to a raspbery, but that level of performance is really really low, not to mention the USB random disconnects. And no, port replicators aren't much better.
No, that's not what you do for a power efficient NAS. You build an i3, i5 or n100, turn off all unneeded peripherals, and configure bios as needed to your level of desired power consumption. under 10W is achievable.
Off the top of my head the reporting about Block - CashApp was disgraceful and Hindenburg got sued for it. Not sure how that's going to play out with disbanding the "company."
> AirBnB doesn't allow hosts to accept cash or arrange alternative payment.
Not a computer or operating system I paid for.
> Amazon doesn't allow suppliers to offer direct sales to potential customers.
Not a computer or operating system I paid for.
> Even Visa and Mastercard officially don't allow merchants to offer discounts for cash transactions (although many do anyway). Etc, etc.
Not a computer or operating system I paid for.
In fact in every single case you listed a free platform that makes its money by charging fees per use. This is radically different from Apple's model.
Apple makes computers. Apple iDevices are some of the most expensive computers on the market. Apple cloud services are some of the most expensive cloud services on the market. Apple's operating systems hardcode the software to the hardware, meaning neither phone nor laptop can be upgraded. In every single case these are expensive devices and services that people already own. They should be free to download whatever software they want without a monopolizer telling them what's allowed to run on them.
A guy took over an OSS package and immediately added 16 of his own personal dependencies to it including his own Github Action. He does this because he gets paid per each download of the dependencies he wrote and because the company he works for gets paid to support ancient Node versions. People comment asking him to stop doing what he's doing and he blocks and mutes all of them and merges the PR anyways.
This doesn't prove that she's lying. It proves that at a particular moment in time (day:hour:minute:second) she tested the air and had to spend $1500 to do it and it came up inconclusive.
That doesn't align with how industrial air pollution works.
An LLM that which contains all of the knowledge of the internet could absolutely answer that question. Don't know why so many of you choose to be dishonest about why they are defending this LLM. Just admit your political orientation and that you're going to defend it no matter what. "I'm left leaning and I see nothing wrong with this LLM. I don't understand what the big deal is" rather than making disingenuous arguments that insult everyone's intelligence.
This is a very good point and prescient. Apple, Visa/MC/Amex/Discover, Google Play Store, and even internet backbones are extreme monopolies and now that corporate America has been seeded with social justice crusaders they are abusing their power. Most recently the people who own the pipes of the internet as a utility have been waging war on websites like kiwifarms and straight up banning it off of the clearnet for being "transphobic." This is dark stuff.
During McCarthyism people weren't executed or sent to prison for communism. They lost their jobs and were shamed. The exact same thing that has gone on during wokeism.
> So inevitably a lot of these big wealthy companies end up hiring people who use the generous resources of their new employer for personal political activism knowing the company can't easily fire them now due to the desire of the company to not rock the boat and cause public backlash for firing someone public facing who might also be a minority or some other protected category.
Exactly. This has been my experience. The political axe grinders get hired. They bring their personal politics to work. Slowly they hire people who agree with them. Then they're all bringing their politics to work. Finally, the entire company changes and becomes dysfunctional.
This is what Coinbase and Kraken FX stopped in their company saying it was destroying them.
I on the other hand would happily pay through 2030 to avoid the people you describe on omg.lol. I dislike pretentious tech positivity and HR catladies policing my online life.
bullseye. when I read this I specifically thought of a few guys I know that made proprietary license SDKs that tons of corporations are paying for. there's a dude well known in the mobile space for example that sells the background geolocation plugins that everyone uses. it's a very tough problem to solve and he works on it full time and probably make a boatload of money owning his own business.
He's frequently on a powertrip and confidently wrong about so many things. For instance he's one of the people who perpetuate the "Javascript is fast and you don't need to optimize anything" falsehood. No wonder he's bringing in 100 polyfills into everyone's project. He thinks JS is C.
Where does one even acquire a VPS that makes this worth it? Most VPS pricing I've looked at is significantly more expensive than something like BackBlaze or IDrive. So what even is the point of rolling your own backups if you can't get cheap terrabytes in the cloud? And no I'm not going to consider something like S3 because Amazon's pricing is obnoxious and confusing. Edit: $70 / month for 3TB of S3. Significantly more expensive than all of the managed SaaS backup providers.
