This is an ARM SoC. You buy your laptop with one of these because the battery should last 20-30 hours and it still gives good CPU performance at the same time. Not for gaming lol

To be clear, while Linux has won much of the mobile market - FreeBSD still has roughly a third of the market worldwide, and more than half in the US for an example.

Yeah but you actually have to have an iPhone in order to use it because they are the world’s biggest dicks.

You also need an Android phone for Android Auto.

What we need then, isn't an open source UI, but rather a standard API that could be implemented by any mobile OS (or just an app, even).

To clarify, I meant not just the UI itself being pretty, but also reaction speeds. IOS is still smoother than any Android distro I've touched and macOS, while sometimes lacking in the UI department, does nearly everything better than Windows. It doesn't do many things better than my Gentoo install with KDE Plasma, but that's hardly something for the common user who doesn't need all the customization and wants a smooth system straight out of the box.

Not sure why everyone's cheering, more competition is never bad and there are already plenty of manufacturers adding subscriptions and such, I doubt Apple would even have been the worst.

At the very least, they probably would've had a slick UI in a world of crap infotainment UIs.

However they announced Carplay 2 a few years ago and I'm hoping manufacturers will go ahead with adding that as an option so you could just opt in to Apple UI all over the car and revert back at any time. This is probably the best of both worlds. There are plenty of companies that know quite well how to build a car, they just mostly still all suck at UI.

Certainly not the best buy they could make.

In my country, conscientious objectors can instead opt to work for charity for the duration of their service I believe. Much better solution than throwing service dodgers in jail. This also proves you're not doing it just to avoid service.

For an example I know someone who couldn't serve in the military for health reasons, but instead worked for the food bank for 8 months. The pay is shit, but for some people it's an option. And if you have a young child, you're exempt from service for a while anyway, it's only mandatory if you don't have significant provable responsibilities to other people. And I believe even then it's not mandatory in all cases.

At the end of the day

Way to make me feel incompetent, building all this in a day ~/s~

I believe pharmaceutical companies already sell drugs to temporarily give extra life to senior hogs.

It's an expression used to mean someone is so broke, they figuratively don't even have clothes to put on, I believe - which this footballer isn't, but compared to his real wealth, his official wealth is pennies.

Software engineer (luckily not in games) here. Definitely feeling it in terms of looking for a new job. Everyone's only looking for senior engineers and they're SUPER picky because there are so many unemployed engineers applying, even in my country where there are a lot fewer layoffs.

I'd expect the work servers to be better because I can't afford to spend thousands per server, but maybe I'm just spoiled with regards to work hardware.
