Not to mention, it’s a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.

Somebody needs to get on deduplicating UTF8 ASAP

That’s reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don’t speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.

That’s great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It’s used in China. It’s used in Japan. It’s used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I’ve ever encountered, and every Germanic language I’ve ever encountered. I’m not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone’s asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who’s never encountered a language that doesn’t use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it’s called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.

Both of your comments hurt in that way only the truth is capable of hurting.

In my time, I’ve encountered edge sharp enough to cut the very universe itself.

Can you imagine anyone saying “it’s a book” to try to say that they don’t matter?

Atheists do it all the time when talking about the Bible

It changes the question from “why not use duck” to “what does duck really add to bing”

Isn’t that alias already present on Fedora by default?

I’m not super concerned with performance or features other than maybe a decent camera. I prefer to do anything more difficult than sending messages on my laptop. The A54 has the same sized battery as the S23 Ultra, but it uses a much more power efficient chip that isn’t all that much slower, so it seems like a worthy tradeoff to me.

The more I hear about this phone, the more I regret going for the S23 Ultra. I only got it for the battery life, and as far as I can tell, the A54 does better but costs half the price. Oh well, lesson learned, I guess.

There’s no such thing as a “gaming chip” when it comes to CPUs. Are you trying to tell me that you can’t plug a GPU into the PCIe slot of an Ampere Altra? Do you honestly believe that a game compiled for ARM magically won’t run on a server chip due to some kind of hardware block that detects games and says “nope, not gonna run that?”

Also, Nvidia makes the processor in the Nintendo Switch, and I linked chips from two other manufacturers in my comment.

Those ratings are user-reported and most are several years out of date. I played 4A from beginning to end without any issues.

the only ARM CPU out there that’s actually interesting in terms of efficient per core performance is Apple.

No it’s not

I’ve got a rip of 4A if you want it. Might even have my old copy for 360 around here somewhere if you’d prefer that.

Shortly before launch, I set up AC4A on a PS3 emulator and it literally could not have been easier.

His deep dives on new chips used the be the highlight of my month when he was writing for them. I haven’t seen anything approaching the level of thoroughness he displays anywhere else. He also has either his master’s or a PhD in electrical engineering, so he may know a thing or two.

Edit: it’s a PhD.

Unless his enemy is mud, then he’s screwed.

From their early days revolutionizing the hot dog industry (pour one out for Laika)

Ok fine, I’ll upvote you, but I’m gonna frown real hard the whole time.

It makes me wonder if and when we’ll see clients that also act as single-user instances.
