FireWire400

Aw, they’re talking to each other

The U24 pro, although that one isn’t that little (6.8")

Wasn’t that whole the concept behind that reddit gold exclusive subreddit? I’ve never been on there but I heard it was pretty barren anyway.

As long as they don’t completely nix the support à la Spotify Car Thing I’m fine with it

It’s an outdated interface connection standard commonly used by camcorders in the 1990’s (mostly MiniDV camcorders I think); its technical name (or name of its specification rather) is IEEE1394, ‘FireWire’ is just the marketing term Apple used for it. I think Sony called it ‘i.Link’.

FireWire400 is really called IEEE1934a and has a theoretical transfer rate of 400 Mb/s, it can deliver 7 watts of power and carry ethernet packets.

The standard pretty much died off as soon as USB 3.0 came out AFAIK, since they couldn’t get higher transfer speeds than a theoretical 800 Mb/s (whereas USB3 supports up to 5 Gb/s).

My profile picture shows a FireWire400 port on the front panel of a PowerMac G5.

Things like Haiku (or BeOS), ReactOS, ArcaOS, AmigaOS etc.

I don’t think they do but maybe they’re also counting type 1 hypervisors.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought they bundled in “Other” into that category; they didn’t, as evident by the chart below the stats which includes “Other”.

It’s probably just the case of they couldn’t determine the OS being used.

I honestly don’t know how to think about this. On one hand, it’s pretty cool that more and more users are giving the finger to Microsoft and switch to Linux.

On the other hand, Linux systems are gonna become a bigger target for cyberattacks or malware. I realise that I, as a regular person who isn’t on dodgy porn sites all day, probably have nothing to fear but still, I like my Linux lightweight and if they have to slap some antivirus on there… eh idk

Who here uses the vendor supplied software with their mouse?

In my experience it’s almost entirely useless, except for remapping buttons maybe.

Doesn’t that mean Biden could just have Trump assassinated?

Great choice!

Pinned posts are nearly indistinguishable from normal ones once read, a little pin icon next to them like on desktop would be perfect

Just realised how much the XCP-ng logo looks like Boost’s icon…

ThinkPads once were pretty easy to work on and repair, but then the whole soldering stuff to the system board and removing power bridge batteries happened.

If you look at something like a T430, it has access doors for everything on the bottom in addition to being built like a tank.

Never even heard of this. Basically every school over here (that I know of) uses ViewSonic Smart Boards that run Android, too, although with a nightmare of a launcher on top… They’re probably not even that much cheaper

They should really stop over saturating the market by releasing new models every year with little to no meaningful upgrades.

Even mid-range phones nowadays are good enough to last long after they stop receiving updates, it therefore makes little financial sense (for the average consumer) to buy the newest model every year, not even touching on the environmental impact.

That’s just weird… Part of the reason I listen to podcasts is that I just enjoy people talking about things and AI voices still have this uncanny quality to me

There are android tablets issued to inmates, I doubt that they’re really allowed to use them with external media, though, if they even have non-propriatery ports to begin with.

Who wouldn’t want to buy a Fuckphone?

I think Elon should go first
