Yes something like wenn…dann…sonst?

I remember I heard this structure at Uni at some point.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 X130 with 8GB of RAM costs around 220 EUR, I haven't tested that one though.

Another alternative is the Lenovo Legion Tab TB321FU, 12GB RAM, 256GB, but this one costs 500 EUR.

But you are right, there are not a lot of alternatives with 8GB RAM out there. Most Android Tablets with a screen size of 8-9" have 4GB, which would make them slow.

The homeview is DOA, I'm sorry. Who is the target for this?

There is no app store. I mean maybe they will add one later, but still until that happens I really dont see any use case besides setting some kitchen timers.

Yes, smart home is a thing, but tons of people need apps like Hue or Shelly to control their setup.

749 € starting price WTF ?

I want to upgrade my old Mini 5 with Lightning since I want one with USB-C, and the OS is getting slower and slower, but at these prices?

All I do is read websites and watch Youtube on it anyway, so maybe I'll just get an Android Tablet for 300 €.

This is getting ridiculous!

150 AUD isn't that much, but this pre-order scam that Elon is doing has helped him get free cash a lot of times.

People must surely be catching on, no?

But I heard even Sam Altman gave him 50k for a roadster a couple of years ago...

It's not doing OCR on the screen, it's intercepting the pixel data that comes unencrypted over the SPI bus that connects the CPU to the display.

Yea, I cant count how many times I click on the wrong icon because the color is the same: Outlook, Word, Chromium, VSCodium all use the same blue for example.

This didn't happen before since we had shape and color to distinguish. So we lost one dimension...

And this is just because Apple is trying to merge iOS and MacOS at some point. I don't see any other reason.

Smart humans?

Is it smart to deprecate everything the minute Apple sunsets their OS version?

This is not a smart package manager, its a manager for the “dumb” masses, that need to be saved and protected from themselves by forcing them into the next walled garden, so to speak…

Why does anyone who seems to be working in the software industry even think that immediately updating to the latest major release is ever a good idea?

Lots of faux outrage, rambling and hyperbole here from Gruber.

“Absurdly and insultingly”? Come on…

This is not about python packages, this is about python itself.

Exactly. Same with PHP, MySQL etc… Also they just block old versions and dont let you install them, you have to jump through a lot of hoops to use an old PHP version for example, so in no way developer friendly.

In the end I realized that Brew is a package manager for consumers, and as a professional i should’nt keep fighting it.

Please consider adding MacPorts support.

Brew is notoriously developer-unfriendly.
