It's "sudo yum".

So you went from a 10 year upgrade cycle to a 7 year upgrade cycle?

I remember seeing an article on these houses. The biggest issue is this house was built before the 1980's, so it was built before modern earthquake (?) proofing standards. This makes the house unlivable and technically condemned, and the Japanese government won't let anyone (including owner) from being able to live there until it's been modernized to the standards.

While this sounds easy, you need to get the supplies and crew out there (no easy road access), which is expensive, and possibly not a real option (again, remote area and trucks might not be able to reach it).

So you end up with a house no one can legally live in, in an area that can't be reached to repair/build anything. It's just a lose/lose situation and causes the value of the property to be very low.

Hey, when it's literally different, then it's different. This isn't both sides are the same.

This tired whataboutism... Really? Just stop.

It's the same answer as always, the iPhone/iPad was marketed and sold as a "do all" device ("IPhone, there's an app for that" and the iPads "What's a PC?"). Game consoles are sold as a limited functionality device. These aren't the same at all.

Musk bought the US presidency for over $250 million, that's why.

When it falls into false advertising in every market that the iPhone is sold, it is.

While they did get released when they said, they didn't get released in the state that was stated/indicated though.

Biggest issue is they had a huge marketing campaign based on all these things Apple Intelligence could do, with dates saying when it will come and that you needed to buy the newest iPhone for them to happen. Those dates have come and gone and still no signs of it. If the next iPhone comes out and they still haven't released it, they risk a huge lawsuit of mis-advertising. It doesn't matter whether users use the feature or not, it was advertised, and very directly.

Normally, Apple is cautious/careful how they phrase things about their devices so they could back away if something doesn't go right or doesn't do what was suggested/implied. But they can't this time.

Historically, Apple has been good about revealing and delivering at the same time.

I'm not so sure about that. MobileMe, iTunes Ping, Vision Pro, and AirPower (their wireless charging pad) come to mind.

"You're holding it wrong"

More likely he feels emboldened. After the whole saluting thing, so many jumped to his defense that he most likely feels that he doesn't need to hide it as much anymore.

But we are talking about the average user. And the average user uses their smartphone as their main computer. What you as a single person isn't what the subject is. You've gone off topic.

The average person is most likely using their Android (Linux) device as their "desktop". The year of the Linux desktop has been a reality for years. They use it to call, make appointments, email, send and receive official documents, sign those documents (DocuSign), photo for business reasons and expenses, etc... I used to do inventory and order management on mine.

"Smartphones are the most widely used devices globally, with 5.3 billion users.... Laptops are used by 1.8 billion people... Desktops, with 1.2 billion users globally"

Android is based on Linux, true but it is hardly a desktop environment

Technology changes, and with it comes it's shape and form. Many would have told you that a GUI is hardly a desktop environment before. What makes it "hardly a desktop environment"? And don't say "I can't do my job" because again, we are talking about the average user, not you.

I've seen businesses run completely on Android. Most POS units are Android. They do sales, ordering (from supplies), employee payrolls, time sheets, a whole business.

What else would it need to do, that the average user would want/need, to make it more "official"? "carrier/Google from a privacy/enshittification perspective" Pretty much every OS is having this issue, and devices can be purchased without carrier controls (I bought mine like that.)

Thing is, he is alienating every US ally, while trying to become allies with Russia. So if they try to do a coup of the entire country in 2 years while the US has no allies but Russia, no country would be able to help as it would internationally be seen as a "foreign invasion". Only allies would be globally allowed to enter (in this case Russia) which wouldn't. Any other country that attempts to enter would be declaring war/an invasion, with the US and Russia declaring that they are tempting WW3 since they aren't an Allie and so have no reason to be getting involved (in accordance to international law).

(It's what's happening in Ukraine now, no country is sending troops because it can quickly turn into WW3. MAGA is learning from Russia/Ukraine and will use what it's learned to do the same thing.)

When was the last time you used a desktop?

For most people, their smartphone is their computer, and (globally) Android is the top used one. Android is a version of Linux, so every year for quite a while has been the Year of the Linux "desktop".

We also all know how much in charge of the White House he is too.

Trump: This is all Biden's fault, and the Democrats.

MAGA: clapping and cheering

OSX was never really open sourced. If you tried compiling it, you'd have found it wouldn't work because it was incomplete.

Vulkan has hacked in support, but not official support. It's like saying that because I can hack in Flash on macOS, that must mean that it has tons of support. Two different things.

And macOS is Unix certified, but that doesn't make it Unix (I know, it's complicated...) To help show this, EulerOS (from Huawei) is a Linux OS.

EulerOS is a high-security, highly scalable, high-performance, open enterprise Linux operating system

Its was also Unix 03 certified, just like macOS. Even though it's Linux, not Unix.

I mis-phrased that, sorry. In the Android case, you can't access a lot of networking functionality and other lower level access functions.

Running ifconfig responses with:

Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (Permission denied). Limited output.

Even though it is based on Linux, and has access to the ifconfig app, it's not really something you can do. There are other things to consider like that. While you could try to give yourself root access, it's messy and not something that's really easy or encouraged.

In macOS's case, it's Unix to a point, but try installing NVIDIA cards in them (for CUDA cores). There are Unix drivers for Nvidia cards, for x86 and ARM, but even thought it's Unix, it still won't work.

How about running native Vulcan? It's a major API for 3D graphics. It has a Unix driver, but still can't work on macOS. Best that can be done is workarounds, but that's not native and has issues.

There is Unix support for these, but macOS isn't really Unix underneath.
