@rolle @Suspikuutti @saaste @laamaa Intelin raudalla yleensä rauta on nopeammin enabloitu Linuxilla kuin millään muulla käyttiksellä, yleensä kuukausia ennen kuin sitä saa edes kaupoista. Ei sitä muuten saa myytyä datakeskuksiin. NVIDIA on tän suhteen murrosvaiheessa, mutta ottanee vielä jonkun aikaa ennen kuin ne pääsee open source-ajurinsa kanssa yhtä hyvän sykliin.
GPU:t on tullut datakeskuksiin jäädäkseen, ja se määrittelee noi prioriteetit, koska siitä tulee se ns. Linux-bisnes. Mitä deskarilla käytetään on bisnesprioriteettien kannalta aika yhdentekevää (for better or worse).

@polarity I don't have a reference at hand but I recall that in 2023 the average size of single web page was already over 2 MiB. So within few minutes you easily load as much of data as a single episode of TV series when you read the news and do some minor casual browsing.

I saw a while (this year anyway) ago a photo in Facebook taken by my friend working at hospital with XP running some medical system (no clue what it was exactly). Who knows what other mission critical systems there still are with XP deployed :-) https://www.neowin.net/news/end-of-life-microsoft-finally-terminates-support-for-windows-xp/

@vwbusguy @ikkeT @timojyrinki @vathpela i remember seeing some demos that take advantage of VIC-20 differences to C64. it is not only the CPU speed but also that CPU is not interrupted by the video chip so you can predict clock cycles used almost exactly. there was a great article about these differences in finnish skrolli magazine 2016.3 :-) that's where i learned these differences (just to denote where credit is due). after that i watched a bunch of vic-20 demos because i had always thought that it is just "worse version of c64".

@vwbusguy @vathpela @timojyrinki @ikkeT yeah and over time people did learn to take advantage of ocs chipset better so that cpu advantage of atari st melted down :-)

@vwbusguy @vathpela commodore was huge in 80s and early 90s. there is still active community in finland writing old school demos and stuff like that for c64 and amiga 500/1200.
game and graphics industry in finland inherits directly from 90s demoscene. e.g. max payne and alan wake series of games and also RTX technology in nvidia cards derive from that (RTX was engineered in finnish offices of nvidia).

@blainsmith @ljs yea, the problem is not that e.g. goodnotes would have been implemented somehow wrong or anything like that. the problem is that it is an app and not the device...

@ljs @blainsmith Might consider. With iPad I feel that Goodnotes being an app already gets in the way, vs. using a real notebook. So I end up still prefer latter. Taking notes should go sort of in the same phase as your thinking...

John Gartner is a psychologist who, as founder of Duty To Warn, has raised the alarm about Trump's declining mental fitness. This week, we had the honor of interviewing him for a disturbing conversation about why he’s more worried than ever that the media and the public are missing all the blaring red signs that Trump is slipping rapidly into dementia. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline
