I was referring to the use case of minicomputers rather than UNIX itself. My understanding is minicomputers tended to be bought for specific departments that needed them, whereas a mainframe would be bought to run the entire company or campus off for the foreseeable future. So I guess more “single-interest” than single-user.
>>
>>107837394
Guess it’s a use specific thing. I’ve had numerous programs on Windows freak-out or refuse to install anywhere but the C: drive, and that software is generally the kind of software that makes Windows worth keeping around. I recall that even Photoshop gets pissy with other drives, but it might have been fixed since.

Internally windows uses a flat file structure called UNC, and drives are mapped a `\\.\<drive_letter>`, and the older DOS style paths are aliased to them.
>>
>>107838138
ReactOS has the feature of supporting windows device drivers, which WINE does not, and which is a huge benefit for a lot of industrial users of windows, who have device drivers that only work on said 30 year old versions of windows. Think CNC machines, ATMs, various HMIs for industrial controls and so on.
>>
>>107839840
In those cases you would just want to run those on an actual computer running a period correct version of Windows. If you have the kind of money to be buying industrial equipment you are not going to be installing unsupported software on it.

I really like my remarkable 2. My fiance got it for me when I was in grad school and it saved me from lugging around a million textbooks. Also, because it doesn't have a web browser or search feature I was allowed to use it for open note tests, which saved me lots of time and money from printing out slide decks.

>Surely a reflective LCD still needs a constant supply of power supplied to it?
They do, but power usage has never been the main selling point of e-ink devices, it's always been the paper like qualities. And RLCD displays are not going to be using as much power on backlighting/frontlighting as the typical backlit LCD's are.
>>107831648
>Why do RLCD have such low resolutions compared to coventional backlit LCD?
Unless there is a technical detail causing this that I'm not aware of, this is merely about RLCD being a niche product.
>What remains to be seen is how much color-particle based e-ink can be improved.
I don't have much hope regarding color e-ink, to be honest. There is no indication that e-ink will ever be capable of magazine level color reproduction.
>>
>>107838357
Look at Spectra 6.
Maybe it's not magazine level but it's a whole lot different from Kaleido.

Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.

Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?

The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.
