8GB works fine.

I bought a Macbook Pro M1 8GB in Dec. 2020 when they had just came out. It was on sale to same price as an Air (which I would preferred at that time), but they were not available. Yes I would have preferred to get it with 16GB but that would be to regular price and no wasn't available either.

I am backend developer and I am running both docker, databases, and IDE (IntelliJ java-based). I am not hitting memory limit. Sure it is using swap. But It is hell much faster than my 2012 retina with 16GB and without the fan spinning up.

Yeah. I would not buy 8GB today, but to say it doesn't work is wrong. Even if you do more than browsing.

Missed it

Would have loved to have tried it once. Had a colleague that spend a month of salary (overtime pay) taking one way. Maybe it’s coming back in my lifetime and I will jump

Google too rich!

$414.6 billons loss in three years? Typo? At least the linked article says $14.6.

Is it something with 4 and dollar is on the same key on PC?

cheers,

Jdbc hit?

Wonder if Java using jdbc is hit? Then I know a company or two that are down

Would like to monitor my IPs running a SMTP server, but I cannot find the informational list that the article is describing. What am I missing?

Compulap Airtop3 (air-cooled Xeon)

I would love to have one of those, but they are also expensive. I don't so I can't say what the quality is but a friend had a FitPC running for decade.

But I also am waiting/dreaming for smaller but powerfully ARM server, fanless or at least low noise.

Bork! Bork! Bork!

But they can’t run a web site. Touring the E1080 page crashed. Running on Power?

iPhone Pro Micro, please!

Keep my first iPhone SE (2016) for three years, bought a unused second one just to keep me going until they released the Mini. So happy about that. Wrong red but heck, it almost has the right size.

As others has pointed out, wrong release cycle, with the iPhone SE released before. However that doesn't haven't the right size. It's still too big for one hand use.

I am still rooting for a iPhone Pro Micro, a real one hand phone, just like Steve wanted it. I want the best of the best, and I want it small. I am old enough to remember when getting the smallest mobile was cool (and very expensive). Also please a decent red, not peach.

Will it leave my macOS working after installation?

Not link to picture of the International Beverage Machine?

MacBook Pro 17”

A friend of mine managed to spill red wine on/in the keyboard. Not sure what he did to fix it but it survived years on with redly colored keyboard.

Oh times when Apple was durable...

Wait my own 17” got three drop of condensed water on the trackpad and it stopped working. It actually started working again after a week only to die some time later when similar few drops hit the start button.

She is back!

But changing the disk in a Mac mini isn’t that difficult. Fist time is daunting, but I belive I can do it in 10-15 minutes. Never broke anything, but sometime having a screw “too much”

Gartner in 2011

Windows mobile is going to rule the world in 2016. Ups.

Btw, maybe MS can reuse their iOS funeral equipment for this.

Inconsistency...

Even them self are inconsistent. On the web site, the Logo writes "arm" but in text they uses Arm.

Mixed signals

"... tech company decides to run an on-road test for its autonomous vehicle, it should enforce a Board of Directors' Walk To Work Week."

Good one!

There are very mixed signals about when self-driving is coming:

- Waymo building 20K Jag iPace into self-driving cars over the next 2-3 years.

- On the other side: A Tesla that can't spot a stationary firetruck on a freeway

Java 9 is another example

I installed java 9 just to find out that it did not work with a Eclipse based IDE. Only solution to get rid of it was to disable SIP, because there are no uninstaller. You could blame evil Oracle for the later.

I haven't enable SIP. I want to be able to delete my software.

Intel cheating like VW?

Has they been doing this for years knowingly for performance gain against competition?

2010 and 2011 owner. Still hopeful for Mac mini with multiple disk and upgradable RAM in a new formfactor. But looking at Intels NUC as alternative for now running Hachingtosh or Linux. I am not buying 2014 model

Wishful thinking: the Mac Pro will be so modular that it can start as a Mac mini but be expanded into a powerful work station.

Still charged with murder

... but he is held on a charge with Involuntary manslaughter of special aggravating kind (up to 8 years) after telling the judge (behind closed doors) on Saturday 12th August that an accident on board has cause the journalist's death. And that he had "buried her at sea somewhere in the Bay of Køge"

This information was not public until Monday 21st where the "closed doors" was partly lifted. So how much more has been said by Madsen is still unknown.

What fascinates me is that he thought he could get away with it.

Now charged

There is prob. some contradictions in what story Rocket-Madsen is telling vs signals from the journalists mobile, that has lead to the charge.

They should be in the process of salvaging the uboat.

People have been convicted for murder in Denmark without ever finding the body.

No Garbage Collection but automatic reference counting (ARC)

There are not GC in Swift, but ARC, which is one of the reason for modest memory footprint, no unpredictable pauses for GC, but you'll have to take care of not creating circular memory references.

I know words. I have best words

I think they match each other. The 'Dear Leader' cannot pick somebody smarter since he is afraid to look dumb.

America you are good at something: "Bombing small countries especially with brown people " (George Carlin)

Ivy needs a new hobby since the Edition Watches have been stopped. Designing the most beautiful super sports car Apple have ever done.

Been using it in beta for some time

While I haven't read the protocol, it seem solid enough in my eyes. You need to own/pwn the domain and the server the IP resolves to.

And damn it's easy. And with the possibility to automate, it's a huge step up from another (cacert.org) which also was free but required work every 6 months, and wasn't in the browser/mail clients key chains.

I am mostly using it for mail encryption.

Apple employees are super human?

"Apple employs a lot of clever and capable people, who are very well compensated. Isn't it time for a multinational technology giant with smart folks, plenty of resources, and endless billions of dollars in the bank, to start shutting down whole classes of bugs in its products?"

Many people in the Silicon Valley is highly paid, and I am pretty sure that other people makes memory allocations / bounds errors. But Apple has to live up to higher standards?

I would have prefered more releases on iOS 8 to fix CVEs but as far I remember all devices that supports iOS 8 can run iOS 9, and since there are no ground breaking differences in UI everyone can upgrade and thus end-of-life iOS 8.

People using Android depends on Operators to create new releases and that is not going so well...

But I would prefer that that iOS users had the choice to upgrade or not, and even downgrade if the new release isn't optimal.

Alternatives to Serverbear or LowEndBox.com

Started using VPS a year ago. Got an ofter through LEB at reliablehostingservices.com. Uptime has been good, but not perfect. Performance has been up and down, but my requirements are more storage than speed.

But I want an alternative location, so started searching for web sites like serverbear, but didn't find any. Serverbear looks great, but seems a bit outdated in data, so is there any others?

Only case-insensitive filesystems

I think the reporting is focusing wrongly on which OS. They should be focusing that it's about the filesystem. Yes, Linux mostly uses file-sensitive. But so do I on OS X.

Yay!

I believe I am one of the few lucky ones. but damn it has been weird for the last year. Turning off at 40%. Did all the tricks in the book, and while it improved a little bit, it's still bad.

So yeah cool if you get a new one. On the other hand, it's close to 6.

ship's two GPS transmitters?

sure you mean antenna for the receivers?

Buy the t-shirt

"No I will not fix your computer" or the more general one: "No"

Cash flow issue

Just like big business can have cash flow issue, I guess so can drug dealers. All the money was tied up in Meth. So just like big business (Enron, AA) steal from their pension fonds (only in the states), drug dealers sometime have to steal to get an iPad.

260 MW = 26 * Top 1 Supercomputer

The NY Times article states 260 MW, not 360 MW or 260 MWh. This will be 2,2 PWh a year.

The number 1 of Top 500 supercomputers uses 10 MW, so google can run 26 of these with the same energy envelope and have a R(max) of 212 PFlops of Linpack..

Aprils fool!

... In some country

Old hardware? Not.

Fedora 12 sadly does not support some i686 CPU (Via C3) anymore. So while it might work on the AMD, it might not work on other, which leaves me stranded for my servers

I can accept that Fedora wants to ship a version compiled for more modern hardware, but why drop the support in the build, as I think it has been done?
