You're correct, but it's important to note that the M chips are very expensive to produce, and abandoning x86 means literally all the software iOS and OSX uses needs to be rewritten (or translated via Rosetta). It's a huge project with tons of risks and massive costs. Apple can do this because they're pretty much completely vertically integrated at this point, and control their ecosystem completely. If amd independently released some new non compatible architecture that was dramatically faster, it'd likely be dead in the water.

Intel learned this lesson the hard way during the Itanic days. AMD took the relatively safer approach when they released amd64.

I mean, ok, I get that, but it's never been an issue for me personally. I've never had a vehicle that hit it's EPA estimate when I drive 85+ with the AC at full blast when it's 105+ outside. My truck is rated for 517 highway and I've never got more than 330 out of a tank, so, it is what it is I guess.

Edit: So I'm saying I assume I'll need 500mi to hit ~350mi, that's always been my base assumption.

the crossover I never knew I wanted.

Just Geordi going full chief engineer on all the pakled star wars tech.

Ripping entire systems out, replacing entire computers with half a tricorder.

Figuring out how the hell their hyperdrives ignore physics and then using that to invent trans dimensional warp drive.

I have a model Y LR w/ 320 mi of range, and I have actually gotten that range before in ideal conditions, but yeah, it's unlikely at best.

I'm in no rush, I can wait to see what Chevy and Tesla do before deciding. Maybe Rivian comes out with a 500mi R1S and I'll just deal with a trailer.

I'll get one if it has 500 miles of range. I have a reservation but might wait to see how close Chevy gets before making a choice.

It could look like a potato for all I care as long as it can haul a bed full of stuff for 500mi.

The sun is a nuclear furnace. Climate change IS nuclear war!

(we should nuke the sun)

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

Heh, this is literally my workflow. I've been using gnome3 since release, and gnome2 before that.

They need to make the Audio switcher and gTile extensions part of "core" gnome, and then it would be perfect.

You haven't drank whiskey until you've drank it in the original Russian.

I'd be that guy that makes all those useless inventions, except they'd be incredibly useful to me and like 2 other people.

I legitimately am, this is a win, especially since the deposit is in an entirely different economic and political sphere of influence from where all the other lithium is.

It's just so easy to assume the worst when it happens so often.

Well, that's good news 🤣

I was about to say no one is stopping you from dying a gruesome gamma-radiaton induced death, but I would be wrong, because I now realize you're literally shitting on the very people whose job it is to prevent that from happening.

So, I'm sorry I guess?

China just claimed your toilet water as its own, what are you gonna do about it?

It's as simple as his new wife wanted a foundation, just like his old wife had.

All subsequent waste products will then be released into local waterways via "unfortunate accident" on a regular schedule, to maximize shareholder profits.

In Ted's defense he can't craft his statements from anything else. He's a horse shit man with horse shit thoughts using horse shit hands to do a horse shit job of anything he touches, which turns to horse shit.

His heart escapes this fate by not existing.

He 10X'd Twitter!

Die when you realize your AC exploded and it's actually cooler in your mining room than it is outside.

I had to check twice, that's excellent.
