I should have clarified that I was referring to “Restart” rather than “Shut Down” because I’m not aware of how frequently people actually “Shut Down” their devices. My intention was to ask: How often would you need to physically press the power button when the functionality of turning the device on and off is accessible through software?

On another note, I think the amount of attention posts like this get is a pretty clear indication of how deep Apple hate truly runs. I'm fine with Apple, more of a Linux person myself, but stuff like this makes me shrug my shoulders. Only Apple could garner this much attention for putting the power button in a weird spot on a tiny desktop that nobody complaining about it would buy even if it was on top of the device.

Unless your computer has issues, can’t you just power off from within macOS?

The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS

Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it's conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It's only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem

JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don't know what you're talking about

No, there aren't any licensing issues with JPEG-XL.

It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG

Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

I think the wave of hype sort of overshadowed a couple of key points about these chips:

  • Performance & efficiency aren't leaps & bounds ahead of the Intel & AMD crowd
  • ARM Windows laptops are still Windows laptops

Battery life is hardware and software.

Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

Huawei's doing great. Plus, there's a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things

EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.

At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this...

 

 
 

Molly advertises itself as a "hardened version of Signal," & its FOSS variant is the same without proprietary dependencies. TwinHelix's FOSS Signal fork goes further, adding OSM support instead of GMaps. Are these forks trustworthy, & are they worth using for added security compared to mainline?
