When the iPhone was released.

Back then people programmed against Win32 and no one cared about cross-platform compatibility. Now you have to account for all sort of retarded form factors and this in turn means most people will use a shitty framework, the vast majority of those web-based, which is an obvious clusterfuck that doesn't require any explanation.

On Monday, you won't have to worry about this.

The first Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite X laptops will be announced, starting with Microsoft.

If I was Qualcomm, I'd be handing out free gear to Linux developers who can move their distributions to Snapdragon.

Here's Qualcomm's M1 MacBook Pro equivalent:

>>
>>100540161
Yes, so do HDDs but considerably slower than SSDs. HDDs can in some cases retain data for literal decades. I personally pulled data off nearly 30 year old drives that haven't been powered for that long about a year ago, data completely intact. SSDs can under the worst circumstances lose data in days without power, more realistically years to months or weeks depending on how temperature and especially NAND wear levels as well as layering. SLC is the absolute best, MLC is a distant second but still good, TLC is still okay, QLC is a fucking joke.

whats the best way to backup data to external hdd? just copy pasting the things?

We lost but we'll get it back in 7 edition.

THE TIME HAS COME /g/ for us to decide which is the masterrace phone application for groceries

Currently I use "Grocery List with synch": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grocery-list-with-sync/id491297400

Pretty functional and works well - click once to cross something out, click again to flag you need to buy it. But it has a few problems:

>Has a tag color system coupled with a ":" separator that is not very logical, gets in the way. It tries to get you to register items in a certain way and you have to hit backspace to ignore and do your own way. Not an issue but needlessly confusing
>Doesn't let you add entries with space, you have to use hyphen. Sometimes, it let's you. Again, needlessly confusing
>The free version only lets you have 3 separate lists
>Paid version is pretty expensive

I almost paid for it once despite all that. I didn't because it literally wiped all my entries once when they updated to a new version or something, so that made me want to find an alternative instead.

What do you recommend anon?

It's not about creating or creativity, it's about experiencing a certain thing. If all you wanted to do was create then you obviously would pick the best tool for the job (be it hiring someone, doing it yourself if you have the means, AI, etc.)

Again, same example, most people who learn to play existing songs are not looking to create, they are looking to experience the feeling of playing the song. This is literally a matter of ego, and completely irreplaceable by anything external.
