Very interesting, thanks for the message. I might use it in my next Nas, but my workstation is staying on regular lvm, too much hassle to change probably…

Care to elaborate about these ZFS features?

He can do “science”!

Aka Russia has a GDP comparable to Italy

I don’t think the majority in Germany care about nord stream, even if it was intact, we stopped importing gas from Russia more than a year ago and no one plans to resume it anytime soon. It’s like slashing the tires on a car you sold for scrap last week.

Was it the US? I though it was zelensky…

Huge expense? Not one life lost, all infrastructure intact and got rid of mostly 80’s military hardware while getting budget for new stuff and a whole lot of free field testing and marketing for export.

We are not sending gold bars or euro bills, we’re paying local companies to produce ammo or sending surplus hardware “for the value of $$$” that would otherwise sit in a hangar somewhere.

This is the cheapest war “Europe” has ever fought, can’t say the same about Ukraine or Russia.

ICQ, peasant!

The “unless” part is important…

Yes, but Asahi still doesn’t support everything on the laptop, like microphones or speakers, and last time I checked the power consumption was also not as good as Mac OS.

I’m actually surprised how fast RISC V SBC have caught up with ARM based ones, but a laptop needs a lot more polish and mass production to be worth it.

As for ARM laptops, I’m afraid they will be windows only, secure boot or whatever, no GPU drivers, maybe even no wifi on Linux.

I have an M2 MacBook from work and it’s the closest thing one can get. Really impressive performance and efficiency, and the OS is acceptable once you get used to it.

I’d love a system with the efficiency of ARM and real out of the box support for Linux. Like a state-of-the-art Raspberry Pi.

If the status is “I can’t afford a BMW” then yes, it’s a status symbol.

2. Not a 2020 Benz

Then the issue is not with Tesla, it’s with high performance cars. You are comparing small commuter cars with high performance cars. Among which, Tesla is the cheapest.

I’d love to see where an iX1 is 40k, in Germany it starts at 48k… with less power, smaller battery and a whole lot of equipment missing. Want a glass roof? 1500€. Want a wireless charger? Then you need the premium package, 1750€. A big screen? 3200€, please! A nicely configured one comes to around 60k. An equivalen model y is 45k.

A Tesla is significantly cheaper than an equivalent combustion car.

Are you comparing a 5 seat 400HP tesla with a 4 seat 120HP Renault? Of course the 120HP Renault is cheaper.

Compare it to a 400HP BMW (or even a 200HP Renault).

EDIT: a Tesla Model 3 is 43.000€, a Renault Megane RS starts at 50.000€

Not in the EU for sure. American cars have always been “lots of horsepower and low-ish quality for a low price”, and Tesla keeps the trend.

Where in the world is Tesla a status symbol? Because I bought my M3P because I couldn’t afford a BMW i4 M50, let alone a iX or EQS/EQE AMG. The BMW is similar size and performance and costs 30% more.

I still like it, but it was the compromise option.
