[01:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I was reading the Asahi Linux blog.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Apparently they found that the sound chips on the Macs are from Texas Instruments.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	And although Mac OS only runs them with 48 or 96 kHz sampling, they can run in all other modes that the stock version of those chips are capable of.
[01:57]	MinceR	:>
[01:57]	MinceR	the famous hardware support of crapOS
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	They said if they limit themselves to the same sampling rates as Mac OS it wastes power and battery life and makes audio sound worse.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	So now the Linux code supports all sampling rates, not just the ones Mac OS does.
[01:57]	MinceR	but that's how the users like it
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	It seems odd that Apple would advertise 16-18 hour battery life.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Then do something that suddenly takes maybe 10-15 minutes of that.
[01:58]	MinceR	they're incompetent
[01:58]	MinceR	they've been incompetent for a long fucking time
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Yes, MinceR
[01:58]	MinceR	also, they don't give a fuck about their users
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	In May and June of 2020, I found 26 security vulnerabilities in Webkit.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	And one in GNOME Web's password manager.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	None of them got CVE numbers.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	They were all fixed but Apple didn't have to count them as CVEs and they were fixed by Igalia, not Apple.
[01:59]	MinceR	they were already incompetent when they started selling an alleged computer that would overheat so badly the chips would get dislodged from the board

[02:00]	IsambardPrince	There were a few others, but I couldn't easily report them because the debugger crashed and offered to debug itself.
[02:00]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Amusingly....
[02:00]	MinceR	because their idiot chairman/CEO didn't like cooling fans or even air vents(!)
[02:00]	IsambardPrince	All 26 security flaws that I found were either in the FTL JavaScript engine, which Chrome doesn't use.
[02:00]	IsambardPrince	(24)
[02:01]	MinceR	when you wonder how stupid crApple fans are, this is how stupid they are
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	Or in the compositor that Chrome also doesn't use.
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	(2)
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	Yes, they were all Webkit bugs that resided in things Google does not use in Blink.
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	So whatever security Webkit has, is confined to the parts of it that Google is using
[02:02]	MinceR	which is hardly reassuring, given goolag's degradation
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: My car has these aftermarket air filters for the cabin air that do have directional arrows. 
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	But the pull tab is on the side with the arrow facing up on my system.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	I just put it in backwards.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	It's not that big of a deal.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	They're just there to catch large dirt and keep it from being sent through the blower motor and stuff.

[02:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: The Chicago city government agreed to have more armed police officers in the transit system after Secretary Duffy of the Department of Transportation threatened federal grants to CTA unless they did something about the crime/
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	They claim that serious crime (whatever that is) is down 70% April this year vs April last year on the red line between Roosevelt and 95th.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	That's the scariest fucking part of not only the red line, but the entire system.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I was on the bus today.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Some black guy was sitting there vaping.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	He got up and yelled at the driver "MAN YOU GOTTA STOP THIS BITCH!"
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	"This bitch" meaning the bus.
[02:13]	MinceR	:)
[02:13]	MinceR	do you not have buttons for signaling this sort of thing?
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	That's how they refer to common nouns.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	"This bitch."
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Charming.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	[20:13] <MinceR> do you not have buttons for signaling this sort of thing?
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Cords and buttons up in this bitch.

[02:36]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I've been accumulating free car wash codes by having everyone I know get a promo.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	There's a barcode scanner at the gate that I show the code to and it lets me through.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	I don't think the car has ever been this clean.

[18:49]	IsambardPrince	Apple wants $139 for AppleCare.
[18:50]	IsambardPrince	But if you buy it without AppleCare using an American Express card with Purchase Protection and Extended Warranty, it will double the length of the standard warranty, you just have to go through AmEx Assurance Corp on the second year to get reimbursed for the repair invoice.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	And it covers pretty much anything that happens to it in the first 90 days.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	Even if it's your fault.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	AmEx Purchase Protection covers laptops. You can spill coffee on them or drop and break them or stuff.
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	The only thing it does not cover is items which "mysteriously go missing".
[18:51]	IsambardPrince	Basically if it gets stolen, it is covered within that 90 days, but you will need a police report.
[18:52]	IsambardPrince	Like you can't just buy a Macbook and say it went missing you have to report it to the police then show AmEx that there's a police report.
[18:52]	MinceR	i don't want to use an OS where the GUI is supposed to be _the_ selling point yet they can't even implement maximize or minimize correctly
[18:53]	IsambardPrince	$139 for Applecare on a computer that only costs $599 to begin with is ridiculous.
[18:53]	IsambardPrince	Just buy it with a credit card that has extended warranty.
[18:54]	IsambardPrince	You're literally spending over a quarter of the price of a new laptop, up front, betting on a 2-3% chance that you get a repair out of them that exceeds the value of the plan.
[18:54]	MinceR	i'd rather not buy a "computer" from a company that still struggles with cooling because they used to have a president/CEO that had an overheating fetish
[18:55]	MinceR	(and who then died because of his own stupidity)
[18:55]	IsambardPrince	Instead of proper cooling, they were doing thermal limiting of the Intel chips so that they would run slower, but you could passively cool them.
[18:55]	IsambardPrince	The ARM chips perform well without generating a ton of heat, so it's a much smaller issue with the M and A series chips.
[18:55]	IsambardPrince	Intel is known to be a power hog that generates a ton of waste heat.
[18:56]	IsambardPrince	Apple could have just gone with the PA Semi PowerPC chips.
[18:56]	IsambardPrince	They bought an entire company that made power efficient PPC chips.
[18:56]	IsambardPrince	Then didn't do anything with it.
[18:56]	IsambardPrince	It would have spared them that transition to Intel early on.
[18:57]	IsambardPrince	Intel got very bad during the Pentium 4 era. They got the clock speed to go incredibly high, at the cost of an inefficient execution pipe that frequently stalled out the processor.

[18:58]	IsambardPrince	In the end it didn't perform well at all for the power consumption and heat it produced and they had to go back to the Pentium III and design new chips off of that.
[18:58]	IsambardPrince	I remember the Pentium 4 Netburst and the Celeron D derived from it.
[18:58]	IsambardPrince	Even the Celeron was a portable heater.

[18:59]	IsambardPrince	OEMs reacted to that by putting a heat duct on the side of the case, so when you put the cover on, it would channel the heat directly away from the processor and out the side of the case.
[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Because otherwise it would all accumulate and start killing the motherboard.

[19:00]	IsambardPrince	Intel did not care about power consumption until Apple said we can't use that thing.
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: The build quality is better than average, considering the PC industry.
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	You'll get broken keys on a Macbook eventually.
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	But it usually takes 6-8 years.
[19:01]	IsambardPrince	Not 1-2 like Lenovo.
[19:01]	MinceR	yeah, apparently dHell and hp really drag down the average
