Not ARM but checkout the PinePhone, its also pretty much sold at cost (same as most Pine products)

Funny I was a supporter of their devices I bought both phones, laptop, tablets... Issue is the software man no drivers. Like the e-ink tablet had a great design/screen but the brush stroke was ass would leave dotted lines as you drew then it would render solid on lift up.

I'm complaining even though I'm not writing the drivers myself I get that.

Then you may want to pay a bit more and get a Librem 5.

The Pine Phone is cool, but the slide out keyboard on the N900/N810 was a big selling point for me.

Doesn’t it use an ARM CPU?

Yes; https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#Specifications lists an Allwinner A64

This could have nuclear level consequences. Imagine somehow your keychain is compromised. Using a change password URL means an attacker could literally lock you out of every account at the same time

this only really changes things for obscure sites. there's already automation readily available for all the popular social media, banks, crypto sites, etc.

The idea that a GPU being useful for 3 years is insane. There is little to no data to support that

I think the last part really is why LKYs legacy is eulogized so heavily especially with more left leaning counterparts. In the USA there is no legacy matter for politicians, and they often scupper with one foot in the door and the other halfway out.

None of the things that LKY did that made Singapore great are unique to a dictatorship but him being the spiritual head and huge focus on education is critical. Interesting the USA has a good appetite for spending lots of money on students, but the education outcomes are really bad compared to places with half the spending

It's not even really about learning Greek or Latin as a true spoken language. It's about known the roots of the linguistics for understanding why a word is even created in the first place.

English is a really messy language but there are many simple underlying roots that can tell you what the word means with context clues after hearing it for the first time.

Also learning the International Phonetic Alphabet is probably another huge boon for comprehension, the nicer books often include IPA spelling for crazy off the rip words

If we're discussing pedagogy, hearing a word and repeating it with a human judging your pronunciation is miles better than IPA.

This makes me think that "accent/dialect reviewer" sounds like a rich option for something to train neural networks to do. :)

BGA Reflow rework is not rocket science, How do you think the PCBA gets assembled in the first place? Its much easier if you dont care about the boards at all and with the huge die sizes on these accelerator chips its worth it to do a board swap

Yeah, this argument is bullshit. You can head over to Openrouter and look at the token cost for deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro. They are very competitive on the open market

RHEL has support for SOC2 requirements. RHEL is also very nice in general

Considering that Apple laptops are made by Foxconn in China that firmly proves your argumentation false.

People do know how to make things properly the problem is all those people are in China for a laundry list of reasons as long as my arms in a circle

At its peak, Apple accounted for 70% of Foxconn's business and there are plenty of Apple folks directly working with them.

It's an artifact of geopolitics that Apple and Foxconn and separate legal entities.

It's not even "old crap" the PC consumer market has basically died in less than year due to your average person getting priced out, I cannot imagine how catastrophic of an impact this is going to have on younger folk and the barrier to entry to desktop computing

A laptop with a 226v/256v cost around the same than the "cheap" Mac Neo and can play most games (old games native/new games with AI scaling)

Agreed. I'm actually using nothing newer than 2018 and you get a ton of bang-for-your-buck with this old stuff still. I have a 2080ti and it plays a lot of fairly recent games pretty nicely.
