Yes and no.

Yes, because technically there are already plenty of solutions out there that can do what the Flipper One does.

No, because Pavel (the guy behind F0 and F1) has explained what makes their approach different, especially when it comes to UX. They even built their own UI kit around their design principles. And what they do basically the level of detailization that nobody goes that deep.

They have done it once with Flipper Zero (many other solutions existed before F0), they do it now again.

I have an ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, a 27-inch 4K OLED.

I’ve owned it for 13 months now and it’s been nothing but positive. To be clear about my use case: I don’t watch movies on it, I don’t game much (maybe 10 hours a month), and most of the time it’s just a browser or a few terminals on screen. For terminal work, this monitor is a blessing. In a fully dark room, only the text glows, nothing else, and it’s genuinely enjoyable to look at. I haven’t noticed any issues with text rendering either: at 27 inches, text is crisp from 50–70 cm away, and the pixel density is more than adequate. I suspect the 30+ inch OLEDs are where text clarity starts to become a problem.

Oh my gosh! Core memories unlocked:

> most developers never bothered learning the "go to next error" hotkey and just spammed F9 (compile & run) whenever they fixed a syntax error

We didn't know we were privileged. I thought it was normal thing to have.

MITM usually will not work in case of pkg managers, since packages are signed. But still, attacker can learn what kind of software is installed on target. So I believe that HTTPS for privacy in case of linux package managers are fair enough.

Either you haven't been when context menus / explorer was blazingly fast or something odd happens there, since I can confirm that on brand new PC (128GB RAM, 9950X3D, 5090) with vanilla Windows 11 it still lags and annoys a lot after some linux distro.

> You know, I'm something of a CPU engineer myself :D

Actually almost everything what you wrote is not true, and commenter above already sent you some links.

7800X3D is the GOAT, very power efficient and cool.

I held the same view as you when I was 22, more than 15 years ago.

With over 15 years of professional experience since then, my perspective has shifted: Java demonstrates its strength when stability, performance, and scalability are required (e.g. bloody enterprise)

A common misconception comes from superficial benchmarking. Many focus solely on memory consumption, which often provides a distorted picture of actual system efficiency.

I can point to EU-scale platforms that have reliably served over 100 million users for more than a decade without significant issues. The bottleneck is rarely the language itself, it is the depth of the team’s experience.

You definitely tried Mazda long ago :)

I have installed Fedora back in 2017, since that time I just upgrade it: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=NN && sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot.

Haven't reinstalled it in 8 years. Everything runs smoothly.

It was a fair point decade ago, today Fedora's pkg mgmt is miles ahead of what it used to be.
