In California they consider sawdust a carcinogen. I feel like they've ruined term.

[triceratops → UhDev]

It is a carcinogen though. Whether or not something is a carcinogen is different from what rate it causes cancer at.

Did you have to wait 5 years to launch this?

[moksha256 → UhDev]

Nope, and yet it's being publicized on platforms that prioritize the present :)

But that's the world we live in. No single platform can (or should) dominate the media landscape. Everyone has to play in harmony with everyone else.

There's no silver bullet winner-take-all outcome for this thing we call the media.

Why can't I downvote?

You need 501 karma.

You may find this page helpful, I know I did (In the sense that it let me better understand what all was going on).

That 1 is triggering my OCD.

Well, you could also phrase it as “You need more than 500 karma.” :)

What are the actual benefits of these Windows Arm machines?

[scarface74 → UhDev]

All of the benefits we have seen of Arm devices completely disappear when you put Windows on them. I can’t imagine a Windows Arm computer actually having good battery life if it has to spend all of its time doing emulation.

On top of that. Windows runs horribly on the type of energy efficient, relatively low resource devices like ChromeBooks and iPads.

Not to mention that outside of Apple designs, Arm processors are really not that performant.

Yes I know Amazon is doing custom silicon for servers and networking chips. But that isn’t really relevant.
