My only complaint is that Hermione should OBVIOUSLY be chronitons

Which one? TOS or A->E?

It's like the main ship 🙄

Apple coined the term App with the introduction of the App Store. They weren't called that before the iPhone. That's how influential the iPhone and its ecosystem were.

I can't stand Apple's ecosystem, but pretending like it wasn't a major shift is just weird.

You're correct, but it's important to note that the M chips are very expensive to produce, and abandoning x86 means literally all the software iOS and OSX uses needs to be rewritten (or translated via Rosetta). It's a huge project with tons of risks and massive costs. Apple can do this because they're pretty much completely vertically integrated at this point, and control their ecosystem completely. If amd independently released some new non compatible architecture that was dramatically faster, it'd likely be dead in the water.

Intel learned this lesson the hard way during the Itanic days. AMD took the relatively safer approach when they released amd64.

as opposed to those new fangled fancy future horses.

I mean, ok, I get that, but it's never been an issue for me personally. I've never had a vehicle that hit it's EPA estimate when I drive 85+ with the AC at full blast when it's 105+ outside. My truck is rated for 517 highway and I've never got more than 330 out of a tank, so, it is what it is I guess.

Edit: So I'm saying I assume I'll need 500mi to hit ~350mi, that's always been my base assumption.

the crossover I never knew I wanted.

Just Geordi going full chief engineer on all the pakled star wars tech.

Ripping entire systems out, replacing entire computers with half a tricorder.

Figuring out how the hell their hyperdrives ignore physics and then using that to invent trans dimensional warp drive.

I have a model Y LR w/ 320 mi of range, and I have actually gotten that range before in ideal conditions, but yeah, it's unlikely at best.

I'm in no rush, I can wait to see what Chevy and Tesla do before deciding. Maybe Rivian comes out with a 500mi R1S and I'll just deal with a trailer.

I'll get one if it has 500 miles of range. I have a reservation but might wait to see how close Chevy gets before making a choice.

It could look like a potato for all I care as long as it can haul a bed full of stuff for 500mi.

The sun is a nuclear furnace. Climate change IS nuclear war!

(we should nuke the sun)

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

Heh, this is literally my workflow. I've been using gnome3 since release, and gnome2 before that.

They need to make the Audio switcher and gTile extensions part of "core" gnome, and then it would be perfect.
