I would actually argue that eating is a weakness, that every single human (and animals in general) just happen to share.

Why would speakers be any different than earphones? Botu are subjective ; I personally hate flat eq. I've listened to numerous products, some worth thousands of dollars, and I'll always take some sort of slight bass and treble boost over flat eq. I'll even take a big bass boost over no bass boost at all.

I have the opposite experience, so many subtle bugs that bite you only on specific scenarios, so much that I can't count.

Hi,

I'm very interested in this position but living in Europe, is there any chance I could still apply for this?

Thanks.

You _can_ run other OSes on Macbooks. They're not locked in at all, it's simply that the drivers aren't open source and the hardware is undocumented, but with enough effort (e.g. Asahi) you can run technically anything on it.

Doesn't it work perfectly with a 2880px-wide display with 2x scaling?

Side question : what font are you using in your screenshots? I find it really nice looking

I strongly disagree.

* The performance difference can be pretty massive depending on scenarios. Sure, most programs don't need it, but still * Rust has not only memory safety but full safety around it. For instance, in Java if you iterate over a list while mutating it you'll get a runtime error. In Rust, it won't compile, preventing you from a possible bug later on * The time you spend learning Rust is so much time saved afterwards because the language is specifically designed to reduce the risk of programming errors. Many things like the absence of a `null` value like we have in Java is an immense time saver when your program gets bigger

What? Where can you find an entire computer with builtin SSD, RAM and keyboard for $50?

What's crazy to me is why they didn't go for that kind of implementation. This works well, ensures privacy, can be audited easily, and doesn't need a f*cking app on my phone.

Most people's TV show ads nowadays, be it Samsung or a competitor. The thing is, people don't care about ads. They just deal with it. Hence how Samsung gets away with this sh*t.

This means your system doesn't have enough airflow if it throttles this quickly.

But I agree this should not be a problem in the first place.

Right, if you specifically want to use an SD card and not USB, and don't want to add an adapter either, sure the A5 is the way to go.

For the same price you have the Minisforum UM760 Slim which should be 100% compatible and provide VASTLY superior performances. Or you can check cheaper models that would have the same level of performance as the A5.

Geekom make nice products but they are usually both very expensive and very noisy compared to competitors. Their selling point is mainly their top-notch design, but I find these to be function-over-form most of the time.
