In my experience and my family's you are lucky if they last 3 years. If they last 5 years there's usually a subpar experience, e.g. they overheat significantly at 2 years. OTOH, we have a few macbooks > 10 years still working.

There's the need to dust fans and then there's the possibility that OS computing requirements have risen which isn't often a Linux thing on old hardware.. OsX had exactly the same problem and had to make a minimizing release IIRC.

Computing kind of stagnated since 2010 and plenty of hardware since then still works fine today and is usable enough for many tasks. Apple was nice for needing not all that many different drivers but its statnge integrations like drive fans to bios are obnoxious.

I'm not really sure that's remarkable, maybe compared to the netbook level machines. Now that HDs are gone the only cause of failure I see from my coworkers is extended vacations and remote work in tropical climates.

Ah, I guess the point of the thread was to share only data points consistent with the distortion.

Also durability. I’m shocked that something that looks so good can withstand by downright abuse. I hold my MacBook Pro with one hand and fling it around and I’ve lost track of the number of times it has fallen down. But except for some chips at random places, it works perfectly fine

3. It will eventually be removed. Does it matter whether it will take three months or three years? Since I suppose none of the browser vendors will give developers money to change their xslt usage in codebases for something else.

5. Funny that we are talking about "info that leaks to the public" when we are discussing standards that may be important to billions of people, as if keeping things private was reasonable.

I find it bizarre. I think we obviously we want to be able to run pages from 2015 far in the future but certainly for a few more years.

As a browser maker, why would you even put this work in for cordinated processes instead of investing in a way to patch away your native code and do that continuously at a slow pace for every aging feature?

Are there many examples of the U.S. government purchasing companies in high-tech industries and running and growing them successfully?

Ignoring the politics of this, I don't understand if this is likely to be long term good or bad for Intel and the U.S.'s ability to remain relevant in the chips manufacturing space.

The US' experience is in rescuing older and failing sectors preferably with a quick resale.. This is one of the worst ideas I've heard so far because of the international politics of having berated China over Huawei. Intel is likely to lose exports which they can't make up for with an investment it could do without.

goyagoji · 7 months ago

I'm curious as to why startup would be a goal specifically vs the job itself at any company? Lifestyle, company size, career growth, equity, something else?

The deeper issue that nobody seems to be picking up here is the fact that here was a billion dollar industry that was dismantled by the people within because they socially disliked one another. Professional failure of the most human and petty and pathetic kinds. This is humanity, we'd rather abandon and destroy than interact with those we socially dislike.

If you don't even trust that someone respects some basic limits you don't want to be engaged in a fight for the profit from some project every year. Getting nothing out of the project is not the worst outcome.

No, next they'll be reviewing citizenships too in order to make sure you haven't said anything mean about Trump or Vance online. Oh sorry, to make sure you haven't said anything that goes against the fundamental values of the United States.

goyagoji · 7 months ago

They better be careful, saying something true online is less work than the renunciation process to demand the freedoms everyone else is born with.
