Xeon E5-2670, with 115W TDP, which means 2x115=230W for the processor alone. with 8 ram modules @ ~3W each, it'll going to guzzle ~250W when under some loads, while screaming like a jet engine. Assuming $0.12/kwh, that's $262.8 per year for electricity alone.
Would be great if you have an isolated server room to contain the noise and cheap electricity, but more modern workstation should use at least 1/4 of electricity or even less.
Technically you can't call it "Android" without paying Google for certification and play store/gapps license. It's AOSP.
You'd be surprised how many companies ignore GPL. Providing broken links to the source code tarballs, telling you to send an email request to get the code then proceed to ignore the requests, etc. Only the most famous case got sued, the rest simply got away with it.
Everything will cost so much less that Universal Basic Income wouldn’t need to be anywhere near as high as it is right now to be “living wage”.
Assuming companies would pass the saving to their customers, which is usually not the case these days.
When self-driving cars finally become a reality (working reliably on any condition without constant supervision), I suspect many people would skip buying house and buy these cars instead because it'll be so much cheaper. After work, you hop into your car and take a nap, then wake up in a diner's parking lot. Go back to the car again after eating to sleep, and wake up in the morning already in your office's parking lot. Basically homeless but never need to worry about cop because the car constantly moves while you're sleeping, making circuit around the city until it finally take you back to your office's parking lot.
Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you're interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I'm also interested to hear what others use.
You can always install an EV conversion kit to old cars.
tmux is your friend.
The most obvious, user-visible loss of features are applications no longer able to grab/mess with contents of another application's window. Screen sharing and remote desktop was broken for a long time in wayland until it's fixed via pipewire recently. Under X11, rendering is free-for-all, where any app is free to do whatever it wants to other app's window. Heck, you can even tell mpv to play video on a cell in librecalc if you feel like it. Such shenanigans is now impossible in wayland because it's a big security risk (though I'm not sure if it's actually exploited in the wild).
The most hyped feature of wayland is better support for high resolution "retina" display. Also, you can use multiple monitors with different dpi/scaling in wayland. IIRC it's not possible on X11, though you can use xrandr to force the scaling on each monitor, though it'll result in blurry texts because the scaling is not done natively.
Google, who was famous for employing Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is now firing their python team. I wonder why they didn't reassign them to the ML/AI division.
Guido van Rossum is working at Microsoft now.
Whelp, I actually love the 3d feature 3ds, just wished the screen had higher resolution.
The term "Android" itself is trademarked and can't be used by hardware manufacturers without passing certification and paying Google.
