I need a second opinion on this, the article sounds a bit click-baity to me.

If L3 really is 4 cycles slower, how much does it _actually_ affect performance? Specially given that L3 can now be made much larger.

Why not download from main OS and verify from uefi like everyone else does?

This is probably one area where software projects and wars differ:

When things go bad in a war, you can always throw more bodies on it to turn it around.

Wellcome to the lonely world of Firefox users.

The sad thing is that Firefox desktop and Firefox android are identical. This breaking is probably due to someone trying to be fancy on mobile.

Maybe that's why CCP took the company from him? Not enough totalitarian work conditions?

What is surprising to me is that they compare A53 to A52s and not A52.

I disagree.

Binary compatibility is bare minimum for any cpu project. Riscv as the new kid on town, and after basically promising a CPU revolution, needs to achieve far more than that.

ARM is currently moving towards a standard and open boot system, and making previously optional things mandatory.

"Great Resignation" = after some soul searching during the lockdown, I realized I want to the other things with my life.

> People are frequently asking us to create more mainstream devices such as an inkjet printer or a microwave

All other days in the year, Xiaomi (and to some lesser extent Nokia) is ahead of you in this department.

vscode lets you turn off analytics in the settings (IMO it should be off by default, untill a crash is detected).

Isn't that enough?

> but you made it yours by tweaking it to your liking.

Serious question: why do you assume that?

My "tweaking" of a new Ubuntu machine is normally limited to changing the background. I am busy getting work done and don't really want or need to tweak things.

Short answer: because they understand that with the current mess, they could very well be next.

Excluding Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria, I don't think for the rest it has _that_ much to do with Ukrainias being European and Christians.
