AMD "Strix Halo" and the RTX Spark devices exist?

C# is worth a look if you want less verbose Java with async/await like you have in other languages, and better performance than Typescript.

Yeah you Mac users are spoiled. I bought this Framework 13 with the Ryzen 5 340 last year and was blown away at how fast it was, only to discover that it's roughly on par with the M1 Pro that came out 4 years earlier (and has much better battery life).

I don't _need_ the battery life and still prefer to run Linux so the tradeoff is worth it to me, but for most users it's pretty hard to not recommend a Macbook.

That question is already answered. pypy only supports 3.11 today and is largely unmaintained.

The second generation Roadster (reservations for which opened in 2017) literally is the product they didn't ship.

Also Cybercab.

How many Optimus robots are out in the wild?

It is a scam, 100%.

Yay the (almost) 10th anniversary of the 2nd generation Roadster reservations, and now it's got fucking rockets apparently?

How delusional are people? The emperor is not wearing clothes y'all.

I agree. But you could easily automate the systemd/podman based setup the OP has using ansible, if you wanted a declarative approach using OP's tools.

For my part, my home server is a single compose file :shrug:

The last Mac I used before buying a Neo was a PowerMac G5 running Leopard. So it's probably just due to familiarity/nostalgia but I think it was the best OS aesthetic out of everything I've used.

About six years ago (as a holdover until I went full homelab, which I never did) I built a machine with some spare parts, a $40 Xeon E5-2650v2 (8 core Ivy Bridge), and one of those Machinist motherboards.

Initially it was just for home server stuff (ZFS array for storage/backups, Plex, Vaultwarden, etc) but then I wanted to experiment with a remote dev environment using LXC/LXD.

I now do all my web development (mostly back-end, Python and C#) on that machine via tmux and VS Code remote SSH. I'm sure if I was running my browser on it it might painful given the slow single-core performance, but honestly I've felt zero need to upgrade it. Once the RAM-pocalypse is over I'll probably look at doing so just for reliability's sake.

It varies wildly from community to community. Sadly, a lot of tech spaces are much more judgemental/toxic than they should be.

The motorcycle and sports groups I've been a part of have had a lot more support from the veterans in the space and were just more positive in general. It's a lot easier to call out/shun the assholes when they're not hiding behind a screen.

It's much more work to make a cross platform GUI app with C++, even if your toolkit is cross platform like Qt. Different compiler tool chains, different system level API's, ARM vs x64 etc.

This is why we see so many Electron apps these days (though Jetbrains was shipping IDE's before electron existed).

> android phones historically got

Well this is up to the phone OEM's (Samsung, Sony, etc) not Google themselves. Google appears to be asserting more control over the software stack of these Googlebooks.

New Pixel phones get 7 years of support.

> It's a special version of Android that has a developer mode that unlocks a virtual (sandboxed) Linux environment

Android for mobile (at least on Pixel phones) has this too.

The "special" bit is the desktop experience. New Pixels have a desktop mode if you plug them into a monitor but it's not as fleshed out and doesn't have their Gemini-ified cursor etc. At least not yet.

I think your notes re. ARM and Qualcomm hit the nail on the head though!

I use incus/LXD for this, though it does require a bit of faffing around with the networking.

The benefit is that its super low overhead (no VM).

It also sounds like these devices _will be supported_ but not by updating ChromeOS, instead by upgrading to Googlebook OS.
