And then, when someone has the slightest notes, obsess about it for weeks and start crying randomly

• IPC
• Instruction set
• Levels 1 through 3 cache
• Performance per watt, usually measured by benchmarking, gives you an idea of efficiency

Generally, you can assume that a newer CPU with a the same thread count as an older CPU will outperform it.

However, you’d have to keep in mind a CPU is a very complex entity comprised of its cores, its cache, its bridges, its controllers and whatever I’m missing. Intel, for instance, would not make any huge changes to architecture every other generational skip. It’s what they called tick-tock. The tick would be a new concept, the tock would be a refined version.

But redesigning the entire chip, ie its lithography, the layout of what is positioned where, all the way down the to smallest detail, will have some effect on performance. It’s difficult to quantify, hence the need for benchmarking tools like Geekbench.

I first heard this in the track ‘ode to Agnes’ by hanisii and now I’m seeing her live in concert in September

A history of humanity with some thinking points in Yuval Noah Harari’s Deus series

Apparently I didn’t do my homework properly… You are right of course. I think I jumped to conclusions because when I bought mine most of the info was in German and their website went to German immediately. I suppose Germany is its biggest importer.

Hence Cudy, which is a spin-off. It was founded by ex-TP-Link employees.

Most likely produced there components but Cudy is from Germany

Are you looking for consumer or enterprise products? I’ve bought a two unit mesh set from Cudy, it’s a spin-off from TP-Link.

Ik krijg een beetje de kriebels als ik lees dat een regime onder Trump een ‘loophole’ in de WTO-reglementen weet te vinden. Over het algemeen praten ze alsof ze een nieuwe fiets hebben en dat dat ze de de facto populairste jongen in groep 5 maakt, ook al moeten ze om de week nablijven omdat ze hun Rekenen-huiswerk niet hebben gemaakt.

Dan is óf de regelgeving van de WTO te laks, óf zijn er toch nog Trumpets met de hersencapaciteit van twee of meer amoeba.

Ik ben wel eens gaan nadenken en ik kom tot de conclusie dat ik helemaal niet zoveel Amerikaanse dingen gebruik. Het gros van de tech hier is Samsung (Zuid-Korea), ik gebruik geen sociale media anders dan Lemmy, mijn huis wordt geregeld door Ikea en Home Assistant, allemaal niet in de cloud. Vaatwasser is zelfs Nederlands (Inventum). Koffiezetapparaat is Philips.

Ik kijk natuurlijk wel naar Hollywoodseries en zo maar dat gaat via de Zeven Zeeën.

Frisdranken en dergelijke is bij ons overwegend Lidl huismerk.

Er staat hier wel een Xbox maar wordt weinig gebruikt. We hebben ook wel Windows op de pc, ik heb wel Office 365, maar ik ben me wel bewust van alternatieven en dat zal steeds serieuzer worden.

Ik vind het voorbeeld van Coca-Cola echt schrijnend. Uiteraard leven we in een vrij land en je moet vooral niet stoppen met genieten van dingen, maar om nou te zeggen dat je alleen Coca-Cola echt lekker vindt en dat je leven saai is als je geen streaming services hebt…

Daarnaast raakt een boycot op dat soort producten niet de werkgelegenheid, hij wordt alleen verplaatst. Deze mensen werken al in Europa, alleen wat ze maken is elders bedacht. Als er vraag is, kan een investeerder prima een concurrerende partij beginnen en dan zijn de ervaren medewerkers weer hard nodig. Ze zullen dan ineens wel meer loon willen, want tja, ze hebben toch bij Coca-Cola gewerkt.

Het enige wat er nodig is, is Europese trots en het willen inleveren om lokaal te prefereren boven buiten Europa.

Well yeah but I was talking about fixing their domestic issues

It’s funny how Democrats pretty much lost the election on the take that they aren’t much better than Republicans on issues that matter.

I kinda feel like it US politics was less like a talkshow where people just tell buzz words at each other but would actually have debates about things that matter, they wouldn’t be in this mess. But apparently that’s not what the American people want, so…

He makes a valid point until he starts naming examples of preventable deaths on US soil, like gun violence, lack of access to proper healthcare, domestic violence, infant mortality…

My house costs less than that and now I’m in debt for the next 30 years. And I do quite okay.

I didn’t downvote but I will add a note to Tony’s.

First of all: I applaud their mission and every company in the world should be working without slavery of any kind.

Because Tony’s is so open about their sourcing and making a big deal about being 100% slave free, they are an easy target for organizations checking their claims. There have been a couple of moments in time where Tony’s has been challenged, the most recent one being 2021, where they have been removed from the list of ethical chocolate companies by the American company Slave Free Chocolate, because they collaborated with Barry Callebaut.

Now, to expand on ‘collaboration’, here: Tony’s buys their cocoa very transparently, from farmers who do not employ children, paid or otherwise. Then, to process this cocoa they need an efficient factory and they use one in Antwerp, Belgium. This factory also processes the cocoa from Barry Callebaut.

Tony’s doesn’t really care, of course, about being taken off the list by this company. They know they are ethical enough by their own measure, which is still leagues ahead of most.

Source in Dutch.

The point here being that one might read one headline or the other, refuse to go into any depth and form their opinion. Now any time they read Tony’s all they remember is ‘they are not as holy as they make themselves out to be’. Hence they’ll just downvote this any time they glance over it.

Or it might be Big Chocolate, idk.

Owned by Russian dissidents who have long since left Russia. Most of the data centers are in the Netherlands, near the AMS-IX.

It’s true that you’d have to start a secret chat in order to be end-to-end encrypted and this is a huge design flaw.

I run Home Assistant in my house and it tracks my location and my wife’s.

Besides that one can use Telegram but the opinion of Telegram changes more than the weather.

If you want bang for buck (we need a euro saying for this, effective euros?) I can recommend Inventum from the Netherlands. If I need household appliances they’re usually the first one I check for country pride reasons.
