The USB 2.0 should be the one on the back, so the charging cable does not interfere with me plugging and unplugging things from the good port.

Good productivity is about being able to do all tasks as planned. That includes the management, as its task is to attribute tasks. And whoever creates tasks. And whoever defines the objectives those tasks should answer to.

-> It won’t ever be able run as fast as a soldered system.

Yeah, just take a look at PCIe 5 and it's 512GB/s of bandwidth.

-> Have you installed a server CPU?

Yeah, and none of the problems you mentioned.

-> That’s not an experience Apple wants any user of their products to have.

Yeah, just look at the older macs with upgradable components and the easyness you had replacing them... So, instead of making it easier, let's just remove it altogether.

I am not talking about DIMMs. Talking about the chips themselves. I am pretty sure they don't make different APUs for different memory sizes, it's just a fuse or something like that. If CPUs can use sockets, so do memory chips.

If a CPU is socket-able, so should memory chips be.

As usual, no upgradability. There's evidence that it's possible with SSDs with no loss of performance. Probably the same would apply to memory, maybe with replaceable memory chips and a simple switch. More future landfill material.

For SSD speeds, that was already dismistified with iBoff new adapter which makes an M1 Macbook Air upgradable and faster. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for RAM using the CAMM standard positioned near the CPU. Or maybe even better, slotted memory chips like in the old days, with a memory controller ready to accept multiple chip sizes.

wpwpwpw — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 15:37:44 +0000

Thank you for your work! I believe it's not ready for daily driving, but I was happy to try it out and, maybe, to check again later so it replaces firefox. Loved all the new features and look and feel. However, there are some quirks I'll describe here, maybe they'll be useful. The sidebar is missing some hover popups so one can know what the buttons mean; animations, in general, are not very good, making the interface look rough; some parts of the regular firefox interface are just "glued in", and they feel a bit alien / missing integration (bookmarks, history...); tab bar at right side not working, although there is a button for it (useful for wide monitors in which you pin the window to the right side). Keep going!

Excellent job. Would be amazing if this became an open source hardware project.

The problemare the walled gardens. I believe if people could own their hardware, as in install the OS and bootloader they want, all of this wouldn't matter. Just make this and common interfaces for hardware mandatory and let companies create their own ecosystems compete with the preinstalled ones.

As with general relativity, those rules are not only yet to be disproven, but also evidences seem to make them everyday more solid.

I have a Redmi note 7 with a 351 single core score and I am perfectly happy with it. Just replaced the original firmware with lineageos.

The worst limitations, which are missing documentation for good repairability or alternative drivers programming, general hardware unrepairability and firmware/OS replacement aren't addressed. We saw these issues in that FCC post about IoT. Being the owner of my own device and being able to extend it's lifetime is the baseline for freeing people from tyrannical software and hardware practices.
