Considering you can get a more core dense package on x86 for that price it is better to wait.

2.0ghz isn’t a whole lot of performance for RISC-V system.

This is the Lock-Picking Robot and today we are unlocking a macbook password with a drinking-bird only pressing space bar.

I've seen too many Lock-Picking Lawyer videos.

I have nothing to add other than I use bazzite for everything now. Windows gone.

AAA run to the formula that works as a safe bet, when they want risk they just borrow an existing concept and sell it harder.

keep it up!

prrsonally using bazzite desktop for my stuff.

I kind of want to be a CTO somewhere. So much bureaucratic stuff to become one though. You usually have to be someone's friend or start a company yourself.

If you enjoy building its kind of a pain in the ass.

I've been the CTO twice in my career, and am in a pure engineering role now and get a lot more satisfaction out of my job.

I think the problem I see with every place I have been is a lot bad practices. As a CTO I could guide people out of those bad practices. I love engineering too, but every place I have been as of late has been a squeeze on workers and always a lack of focus.

Building is so much fun, probably my #1 favorite thing to do, but a bad company culture can ruin it. I love being a CTO so I can build and set the culture that keeps it fun.

I like that a lot.

How so? I think it's possible. Network, linkedin etc. And in startups it's not that bureaucratic in my experience. I think you can achieve that ;)

Would need to know a startup.

Same, I am looking forward to starting my own company in the next year or two, and exploring the CTO role, especially after so many years as a Staff+ operating as an arm of CTOs and learning the ropes.

Check out the earlier posts in the series. They’re probably more relevant for that stage. What I’ve learned over the years is that the CTO role varies a lot depending on the company and personal context. I just tried to share my journey.

I love getting my lymph nodes drained. Feels so good afterward.

Merry Christmas!

Likely won't for a while. The race to get all of the memory is likely a squeeze attempt against startups and not consumers. Side effect consumers.

We need regulations to prevent such large scale abuse of economic goods especially if the final output is mediocre.

I think this is a good thing. I think the people talking dictator this and that do not understand we have the ability to critique the administration. What we lack is control of the underhanded lobbyism. It is a warped democracy but still a democracy.

You sure about that? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/12/18/larry-bushart...

Every slide towards authoritarianism is gradual, there is no announcement.

Bruh they're kidnapping people in the streets. They took over CBS and censored a documentary about CECOT.

> They took over CBS

Careful, this will get you labeled an antisemite

Warped democracy.
