In apple's defense, lightning pre-dates USB-C by a few years. There are a ton of lightning accessories in the wild that have been made useless e-waste by this forced change. I'm glad we're all on an agreed-upon standard, though. It had to happen at some point.
The non-pro iphone 15 uses a different processor (A16 vs A17) which doesn't have the controller for 10gbps speeds. Its the processor from the iphone 14 pro.
This is great. but maybe factor in if you have solar. I can generate my own free electricity but I can’t generate my own gas no matter how many visits to Taco Bell.
Even without solar there are lots of places to charge for free (slowly, but it adds up)
Also gas is way more expensive than that here in CA. And gas prices fluctuate like crazy. Electric prices generally don’t.
My electric company gives me monthly credits because I let them control when my car charges based on demand. I just set it up to “be ready by 7am”. Combined with solar it makes my charging cost negative.
CPU brand (as in AMD/Intel) makes little if any difference in linux, stark contrast to Nvidia/AMD GPU. There was a period of time where some of the intel CPU "efficiency cores" were not properly scheduled in the kernel but I think that's a lot better now as long as you use a relatively new kernel. There are different power/frequency management flags you can pass to the boot params based on intel/amd but that probably makes more of a difference if you're on battery: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen
I think there used to be some limitation in using resizeable BAR with an intel CPU and AMD GPU, but that hasn't been an issue for a while.
I have a 5950x with a 6900xt in my linux box and have had no complaints.
you missed the step where after development slows down, there are hundreds of forks of the project created making it too fragmented to be stable, again resulting in death.
There are a few good iptv providers out there. They cost only a few bucks per month and will get you almost every channel in the world including sports and ppv. They claim to be “totally legit” and “btw we only accept bitcoin”.
zigbee and/or zwave with a self hosted router like HA is the way. It even works if your internet is out snd nobody can just shut down the servers if they dont feel like paying for them anymore
