I make websites, sometimes apps, hypothetically games at some point. I have strong opinions about UX. Posting about Linux and Apple platforms, video games, tech in general. French and stubborn.

(I was worried it might not be available on my β€œold" M1 Pro, like it isn't on my iPhone 14 Pro.)

Obviously as an Apple user (and once developer) I was glad someone was willing to go against the App Store monopolies, but when you look at it this way, and the 1,000 employees Epic laid off today, it's really fucking dire.

(Whatever they did win in the lawsuit didn't really change anything for 99.9% of users. The best that can be said for it is maybe it encouraged/bolstered regulatory action in the EU and elsewhere?)

I wonder how much it costs to book time on TSMC's 3nm process out of nowhere β€” there's got to be some sort of entry fee? It would surely suck for Arm to invest a fortune from decades of licensing into starting an AI chip business only for the bubble to burst 😈

Arm Is Now Making Its Own Chips

The chip design firm says Meta, OpenAI, Cerebras, and Cloudflare are among the first customers of its new artificial intelligence hardware.

@sdarlington I _suppose_ I could let go of the impulse to do everything myself 😣

(except PCB printing, that might be the single thing I have no inclination whatsoever to do myself)

A cell tower on the road suddenly reminded me of the iconic windmills from Western movies and it's very funny (not funny at all) that wind power is too woke now.

@sdarlington Oh same, I got a Brother this year, had a small Samsung before that for eight or ten years, it was great except when they stopped making Mac drivers and I had to plug it into the PC. But a few years ago I told myself I'd like to print photos so got a cheap Epson, used it a dozen times and it sat in storage for three years πŸ˜…

After twenty cleaning routines I've almost got it unclogged except for one pesky magenta nozzle πŸ˜’
