Honestly asking though is it worth that trade off? I enjoy watching people benchmark older Intel x86 based chips and without cache they are frankly awful slow. I'm not sure two without cache beat one with. The BeBox did run a totally different processor though so I have zero domain knowledge for that which is why I'm genuinely curious.

It's cars too - you'll get muted blue, 5 greys a black, white and better enjoy being boring.

Near 2000 everything came in wild colors. I fondly miss bright red motherboards even, or orange ones.

I loathe oneui so on my S21 I loaded Google asop apps and pixel launcher and disabled everything Samsung I could. been doing fine on this for 5 years and 4 before that on my s9.

Probably cheaper and freed up PCIe lanes for desktop boards (marketing?) now yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I finished a mod for Quake 2 I started in 1998 finally a few weeks ago. AI is really helping me get past the COVID burnout I was running of too many projects I half did. Fixed terminals (an rdp tool) today. Working on OpenRA bugs I opened issues 10 years ago now - engine is 10x faster and pathfinding mostly works properly.

It actually doesn't it feels horrible. you can't paste files from a samba share or large ones take so long to copy that they ultimately fail.

Thats just port speed, charging and other features are all a crapshoot on USB making Thunderbolt the sane version of the "USB-C" family where it requires a set of things (speed, charging wattage)

For me you open a markdown editor and draft up a code plan and details of what you'd do as a coder at a high level then bust into whatever tool in planning mode (I usually fire this into the opus 4.5 model) and have it break it down into concise steps and then hand it off to a simple model (gpt spark, sonnet, composer or whatever) to execute. when I feel frisky I'll just have opus one shot it and it can be done in a few minutes.

Scary that I can relate to this and then am reminded by the star trek episode they make you relive a memory every few minutes forever. Never put these two together, oof.
