“Is Starbucks even coffe3???”

Yeah man, it’s made with coffee beans and it’s got caffeine in it. Some people don’t need a whole ton of caffeine to feel it.

If you want to feel something, try their cold brews

Don’t be silly, the whole app is JS!

9/10 times if I see a thread of people complaining about apple fans it’s just a big circle jerk talking about all the awful things those nasty apple fans would be doing if they were here right now.

Sorry someone put a sticker on their car lol, that sounds rough

What are you talking about? Bitcoin started this, it’s was the first scam. It’s all bad.

This is possible! At least, I’ve seen it described in other people’s setups. Having the integrated GPU should help in this case.

If I remember correctly, you need to make sure the vm shuts down properly so that it shuts down the graphics card properly. Then you can unload the vfio-pci module and load the correct module for your card.

Two great resources are the subreddit (unfortunately) r/vfio and the arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

I really agree. State sanctioned murder is unacceptable to me as well, but if they insist then let’s be humane about it.

x86 could always compete in raw performance, but never in efficiency. If we were to compare two hypothetical cpus on the same node size, one arm and one x86, that can both run a program at the same speed; I guarantee you the arm one will use less power.

We can argue the pros and cons of x86 vs arm all day long but suggesting that the choice isn’t impactful is just wrong.

Oh boy!

Yes there are a lot of factors that make the M series chips so impressive and their incredibly small node size (which is what they get from tsmc) is one of them. The choice of arm is another huge one.

And of course the kicker is that none of these cpus actually run x86 or arm. Haven't done for decades, the machine code is compiled down to a chip specific bytecode at execution time. Bloat isn't a problem because the cpu doesn't run x86.

Are you talking about microcode? Because that is not at all analogous to compilation. I don’t think you have a good grasp of the hardware that you’re talking about.

At the end of the day, the processor does still “run x86”. The implementation detail of most instructions being microcoded doesn’t change that. The x86 isa is large, complex, and old. It has compatibility decisions that date back all the way to the Datapoint 2200.
