Because you are really editorializing a Windows experience and pretty much nobody is bothered by a simple annoyance they deal with once after getting a new computer and most people understand it's important and useful to install updates and really just don't want to deal with an OS that prone to failure constantly.
It means a great deal for their market value and hardware reputation. With Risc-V having so many benefits over ARM, especially when looking at core footprint, licensing costs, capable efficiencies, more capable instructions (Risc-V can do division) and manufacturers having so much more flexibility in design and manufacturing the market stands to pass them by rather quickly. Apple doesn't own ARM, they only license it, even if they did own ARM they would still not benefit much because there is a huge amount of reverse work to be done to get it to stay competitive 5-10 years down the line. This is already something Apple is aware of which is why they have already started investing into Risc
Please tell me where the anti-Apple circlejerk is, because lemmy is a sea of anti-Windows and Google circlejerking the likes of which have never been seen
It's been a crazy couple of years starting with articles and videos that confidently explained why Risc-V will never be seen on cellphones let alone an existence as a desktop system.
Fast forward to today there is official Debian support, the first batch of Risc-V laptops are getting delivered to customers, online retailers are full of high powered desktop development boards, Qualcomm, NXP, Bosch and others teaming up to start a Risc-V joint venture.
Microsoft's .net runtime just showed an early start on Risc-V. The Indian government themselves just announced a bunch of funding and long term planning into Risc development. We just saw the first 10g open source Ethernet switches.
Heck you can go on YouTube and watch videos of people testing $100 development boards on Debian and I'll be damned if they are doing everything that your average computer user wants without issue from basic office suite things like weird processing and spreadsheet work to Photoshop style image editing, 4k video playback, and 3D rendering.
Maybe it's because I can see an open architecture make a huge positive impact on the industry I work in or maybe because I love the concept of compute modules but I'm just so excited to see what Risc-v is doing right now, it's so cool
Yeah I don't know if you have been following what's going on with ARM but they have been liquidating like crazy for the past year or more. With everyone investing and developing for Risc-v, including one of the largest ARM CPU manufacturers Qualcomm. That leaves Samsung and Apple in the lurch as they are both ARM dependent and were late to joining Risc-V. Just last week they both pushed $40m into ARM to keep it's value up.
I think this is something people like to hyperfocus on, these days the workflow is win key and a couple letters. I hear so many Linux teens go on about the start menu and I always struggle to try and recall what the star menu looks like
I don't think there is touchscreen support still, also not sure if they have a 2in1 option. As well, any non gaming laptop I've used in the past whothehellknowshowlong has had great battery life, even the cheap used convertible Chromebooks I install Windows 11 on have pretty great battery life. Definitely does more than a MacBook Air and for a lot less
That water will contain about 190 becquerels of tritium per litre, below the World Health Organisation drinking limit of 10,000 becquerels per litre, according to Tepco. A becquerel is a unit of radioactivity.
I guess this is their final move of desperation. It will help inflate value for a while at least which will buy Samsung and Apple a bit of time. I still think they might be too late to the plate though. We'll see
Dang, if you told me that a Linux distro would be running on Risc-V before one was running on Apples ARM machines a year ago I would have seriously doubted you.
Yeah I think what the guy above is missing is the concept that companies schedule certain performance aspects on a timer so that they can release things in the most financially beneficial release cycle with only enough performance benefit to maximize their sales numbers. People seem to think that tech companies like these are releasing their very best product at coincidentally regular intervals with surprisingly similar performance increases
You don't need to speak in absolutes dude. There are definitely good public trackers out there that use ads. No reason to get all angry about it.
