The ultimate Pi 5 arrives carrying 16GB ... and a price to match

AceGrace

i think it would be a fine desktop replacement for that kind of light work.

Pretty sure there are videos on Youtube showing how it performs.

You can use PiOS, or Ubuntu or other linux versions.

Re: Well...

I agree with ChinnyVision.

This article is demonstrably wrong. Consoles didn't really get a foothold until the early nineties in the UK. They were seen as childrens toys, at least by myself and friends. I had an Amiga well into the nineties.

There seems to be a lot of revisionism going on e.g. the videogames crash that didn't happen anywhere except the US.

With Asmi 24.04, Ubuntu's never looked so snappy (without the Snaps)

What is the problem with Snap packages?

"source codes"

This gets me every time. Like "Legos" :-(

It reads like

Microsoft ships non-Surface PC: a cheap Arm box for devs

AceGrace

Ordered.

Pretty good price for what you get.

Could be a cracking emulation box as well :-)

Re: Preposterous

I was about to say this. For anyone that isn't running on the latest Android, you may as well give up waiting for patches.

My phone is 2 years old and hasn't been patched for ages.

I thought Google were going to change this?

Hive to pull the plug on smart home gadgets by 2025

True. Maybe something open source would come along to support the hardware

I've just bough a blink doorbell and cameras. That doesn't need a subscription and can record video onto a USB stick.

It does need a blink account for the phone app.

Not sure if that is OK or not really.

AMD targeted by RansomHouse, attackers claim to have '450Gb' in stolen data

I always read it as 'Reach around' which is altogether something entirely different!

I'm left handed too and control the mouse with my left hand. It is really frustrating that all of these types of keyboards have the mouse pad on the right.

Re: Support for Ukraine

Would this also work on a 2013 iMac?

Apple Mac sales break records amid ex-86-odus to Arm-compatible M1 silicon

AceGrace

I've got an M1 MacBook Pro 13" for the living room, an M1 Mac Mini on my desk beside my windows machine and also the new 16" Macbook M1 Pro under my desk.

I've been a windows PC user for most of my working life and use it for most work things but I must admit I do like Mac OS. :-)

Anything I build that is cross platform, I always do on the Mac.

It's amazing really. Do people not learn that these things always go wrong?

Don't make an iOS of yourself – Apple's patched its OSes, you know the drill

AceGrace

Does this fix the memory leak with the mouse bug?

Microsoft's problem child, Windows 11, is here. Will you run it? Can you run it? Do you even WANT to run it?

AceGrace

They do. My Ryzen 7 1700 has fTPM. It gets past the TPM check but not the CPU check.

Re: monetize applications.

Can I ask what platform you moved to for development from windows?
