When I went to Thailand, Grab was EVERYWHERE.

Wow. Super interesting. I hadn’t realized how much the code had evolved to use high level libraries for the Pi Pico.

Very cool! I can think of so many applications for this.

😂 Someone doesn’t understand what followers are. Have a great day. Blocking you now.

Maybe you’re just in a bad mood because I really didn’t make a big thing about it. Just thought it was odd that you’d lie about it. You’d have to have either lied (or misremembered if your panties are still bunched up) because this has been company policy since the first Apple Store opened in like 2001.

I’ve been going to Apple stores since they opened. In fact, in a brand new Apple Store back in like 2007, I wanted to demo the software “Shake” for my company. I distinctly remember an employee installing it for me (since they wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave admin access open).

It has been this way since the first Apple Store opened…

I’m confused about why you felt the need to make it up. Such a weird lie.

I wish him bad health:

I’ve never seen them password protected in any way, you have admin access.

This is 100% untrue.

You know they’re in for a decline when they’re naming products like Boeing.

An ad. I’ve seen them on reddit and I think I speak for everyone here when I say I don’t want them here.

This is a fucking advertisement.

yes it is…

I’m actually a programmer. There are ways to compensate us that doesn’t force people to pay rent for our work.

Vote with your wallet. Boycott rent seeking companies that lock away their IP and charge money for access to it.

For example, FOR ADOBE TO DESERVE MY MONEY EVERY MONTH, 100% OF THEIR TECHNOLOGIES SHOULD BE OPEN SOURCE.

The only rent I happily pay for is a good VPN.

It is. The machine learning algorithm has maxed out its parameters because Elon decided to get rid of redundancy. The machine learning algorithm had to invent new algorithms to do what redundancy would have easily done in far fewer lines of code. They are out of compute power BECAUSE they decided to cheap out and removed redundancy.

Thank you, Simon Peyton Jones.

Thanks for setting me straight. I’ll still be pushing the idea of RISC-V.

Look it up. The latest generation of Intel chips have incredibly egregious issues.

If you think you’re owning the Chinese by supporting Intel, you’re very misguided. Instead, you should be hoping for RISC-V to catch on because closed architectures are vastly more vulnerable to exploitation. They represent an unknown tech stack which is a no-no for anyone who actually values freedom, privacy, and liberty. They also cost tens of millions to create while RISC-V costs significantly less since it doesn’t require a company to buy a million dollar license to build on a closed architecture.

Don’t be conflicted. RISC-V or GTFO.
