I've been watching macran's stream on youtube in the last couple of days, where he had to fix a lot of stuff so this notebook can come to life. If you are intrested in ARM/bootloader/linux/drivers, I highly recommend the stream recordings.

Still less than 20% of the market. And I feel like the main reason they're even usable as a desktop OS is because 99% of most people's computer activity takes place in a web browser and not because OSX has a particularly special native app collection. Hell it seems like the only time I fire up my mac is because I need to build an iDevice app and nearly every "native" mac app I run is really Electron based.
i really like to develop software on my MBP, i must be in the 1% then :\

Does anyone know some similarly good source on food science? This is interesting.
Respect to the Rust docs team.
Unfortunately, the rust std docs are not my favourite. I think i'm much more comfortable in other's languages docs. I really like the examples, like in c++.
Maybe I just don't know hot to use them.
Is it Intel only? Why is it advertised this way?
the thing is those 4000 cpus are really 3000 ones. intels laptops are always 1 gen ahead. amds laptop is always one gen behind. its kinda annoying. granted zen 2 (or 3000) was a good architecture so it should compete nicely but I would expect intel to actually be more efficient still because its newer.
as i see, amd will still be more efficient in practice.

I switched to FF for my daily driver almost a year ago on my Windows machine and haven't looked back. Previously FF had too many performance issues but since each tab is run in a separate process, it's been just as good as Chrome (not so much on OSX however, I still use Chrome there).
The other advantage of FF for me, besides Pocket, is that I can share and send pages with FF on Android which has support for ad-blockers. Last time I checked, Chrome didn't support extensions on Android.
FF got so much better on osx lately. Now it consumes as much battery as chrome for me.

> I’m lucky enough to have a PC that boasts 32GB of the stuff. Now, that amount of RAM is – to be honest – overkill for most things I use my PC for.
You should not care about how much ram chrome consume if you have 32gb, however i think you should switch to firefox if you care about your privacy and the future of the web.

I'm aware that I'm reaching a Cartago-delenda-est situation here, but since I see some mozilla devs here I must ask: Is there any news about the deal breaker bugs that are still keeping thousands of people from moving to firefox on OSX?
I'm referring to the bugs that cause extreme CPU usage and as a consequence extreme heating and battery usage, mainly on macbooks with retina screens set to "more space" resolution.
I work in a whole building full of developers where every single mac user has stopped using firefox due to this issue, yet there seems to be a deep disconnection between how prevalent the issue is and the priority it seems to be assigned.
I hope I'm not coming off as an ass here, I'm just sad that I've had to move away from firefox and to see all my coworkers also moving to chrome.
I'm with you on this, Firefox for osx is in very bad shape, i can only use it on my strong imac. Chrome had to stay on macbook :(

Firefox, not the hero we deserve, but what we need.
