  • Probably AI generated, yes. That caught my eye as well...

  • I have hard time believing the stats in the picture.

    So around 3.5% of all the hybrids eventually die in fire? Really? That number seems like it's way too high.

    I know EVs are safer in this regard, but I just can't believe hybrids and gasoline cars being that bad. Do we have a source for this information?

    P.S. The photos seem to be AI generated FWIW...

  • Interesting...

    I've created another xkb layout (of which syntax is cryptic)... Then modified window manager hotkeys. Then there's completely other configuration for virtual terminals. sigh

  • 472.41 kph: BYD sets new EV speed record with Yangwang U9 - electrive.com

    Jump

  • To think of it - I think the only occasion where we use p in place of / is rpm.

  • Ok. This has to be something that's different in America and Europe then. At least here, in Finland, we always write km/h.

    Because I was one who needed to pause for a second until I got what kph meant.

  • Off-topic: why to write kph when the most logical way would be to write kmh, km/h or kmph? kph translates to 'kilo per hour". km/h would be the mathematically correct.

  • Because systemd replaced too many important components users still wanted to keep using... and politics. Not many people like Lennart (the guy who started the project). Politics ruin everything.

    For me the breaking point was systemd-journald. Corrupted journal when you desperatedly needed to know what went wrong was too much. Last time I gave systemd a try was several years ago... Something like 5 to 7 years, so things might have changed a lot.

    Also I'm in the minority here. I like to custom my system components too. systemd just doesn't fit there. Also I administrate one lightweight, low power box, which uses musl libc. Last time I checked systemd needed glibc.

    Enough ramblings. Here's some reading for you... note that there's most probably very biased technical writings here and there, so use common sense and verify the claims if you want the real truth. Then judge yourself, don't let anyone else judge for you.

    If I'd implement a new init system, the dependency system would be one of the first on my TODO list. So... That's strange. 🤔

  • I wonder what new does this bring into the table?

    I mean we already have at least these in addition to systemd:

    • OpenRC + openrc-init
    • s6 + s6-rc
    • runit
    • Epoch
    • dinit
    • minit
    • GNU Shepherd
    • finit

    The state being stored in RAM seems like a nifty feature. I like it.

    Very quickly glanced... I think it lacks service supervision and user services. Although user services are missing in many others too. Except it looks like users can run Nitro by themselves (autostart via cron @boot maybe?). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

    Anyway, more choices leads to more ideas being implemented. 👍

  • My issue is that I can’t find ANYTHING on the PC market that is as slick or full featured as a MacBook Air (minus its limited ports).

    Hi. Typing this on M2 Air, running Gentoo. 👋

    The limited ports drive me crazy too, but what's maybe EVEN MORE frustrating, is the glossiness of the screen. It is not that good to be used outside, especially because it is dust and finger print magnet. I'm constantly wiping the screen. One thing that smudges the display seems to be the fact that some parts of the base touches the display when the lid is closed. Bad design, or I may just have a faulty specimen. The touchpad is needlessly big, but isn't really a problem. My wrist can't bend so that I could move my finger easily from corner to corner. :D Touchpad haptic stuff is nice when dragging. Keyboard is... meh. Nothing special. Then there's the money problem. You have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to jump off from the base model. I have 256GB/8GB model. The least I should have accepted is 16Gigs of RAM. I got this Air for only for 300 euros (luck was involved), so a money well spent to get to know current Apple HW. But still... I feel I barely made a good deal (because my last laptop was Matebook D with the same amount of RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD). I'll keep using this until I cannot cope with the amount of RAM anymore.

    Battery life, performance and passively cooled CPU are the main highlights. Oh and the DAC can drive high impedance heaphones (I have Beyerdynamic DT-770 250 Ohm). I'm most disappointed to the display. The LCD under the glass is fine, but the glass itself is just horrible design. From now on: I choose only matte displays.

    I think you're much better off with Framework. I think that'll be eventually my choice too.

  • I think I had my last windows install (Win98) on bare metal in somewhere between 1999-2002.

    I tried to cope with Macs until 2004 or 2006. After that Gentoo... Damn it felt good. It was a rough start, but I kinda knew it back then.

  • Cheap SBC x86-64 ?

  • I've bought some refurbished 1l PCs in places where others might have bought RPi. Drawbacks are more energy consumption and, generally, no GPIO (at least built-in). Also bigger in size. I have one Lenovo M600 which has four serial ports (DB9) and one parallel port (DB25) on some kind of extension module. Because of the module it also has more space for cooler, thus making it passively cooled.
