Here, I’ve found an article. M CPUs are also much more integrated, like a SoC, which gives them further performance/power advantages sacrificing extensibility.

It’s not just node, it’s also the design. If I remember properly, ARM has constant instruction length which helps a lot with caching. Anyway, Apple’s M CPUs are still way better when it comes to perf/power ratio.

Germany has a lot of renewable sources and it’s full on building much more. You’re confusing it with their dumb policy of closing nuclear power plants. They are also considering hydrogen as storage to replace coal and gas power plants during winter. Note winter, they have not much problems during summer where electricity is abundant and often has a negative price.

What does Norway being oil exporter have anything to do with this topic?

At least it doesn’t pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.

Probably it wasn’t noticeable. Imagine this scenario: somebody would pay a monthly fee, would download “entire” Spotify and then forever listen to it in offline mode. And since it’s offline, artists won’t get payed as well.

The thing is, you’re buying from their record labels, not directly from artists. And then it depends on their contract how much they actually get. But they are still getting more from it, I guess.

ve ran into the same issue I’ve had with Spotify for a while - even if I download a playlist for offline usage, it’ll still try to connect to the internet, so if I was somewhere with poor reception, it’d get stuck on a spinning circle for a minute before giving up and showing me the songs I’ve wanted to play.

That’s by design and all streaming apps would do it like that to enforce abuse prevention.
Edit: added word at the end

One can hope, right. I just stumbled across an article in local magazine about this same issue. Have to read it and report back.

No one is being turned into a borg drone.

Yet.

I really do hope that this crap is handled better in EU. At least theoretically it should be.

AFAIK with Apple it is even part of the SoC, not even soldered.

Not to mention that MS completely changed their development tools and libraries more than once if I remember properly.

Kudos for paying Spotify (as I do). I disagree on “if they give me shit service” part. If that happens, you have an option to either switch service or don’t use any of them. IMO pirating is not an option. Also when pirating though P2P, you also distribute the content.

If you don’t want to pay, then don’t use it. Regardless of everything, music producers still need to live and pirating is a shit move to help them.

I don’t think Qualcomm can outperform Apple at CPU game out of the blue. They were always trailing behind and Apple has now three generations of M CPUs behind. It’d be nice, though.

Edit: fixed stupid typo - can’t outperform -> can outperform

This is all because they failed to award Elmo with those billions. Quick, there is still time to save the company. /s

Let’s declare any successful foreign country as enemy and either ban, or better, steal their products. True market.

RIP net neutrality, it was nice knowing you.

How is self hosting better than paying artists?

TBH from article it seems that woman on photo (Forsén) decided that’s enough of sharing her photo.
