The “GPU market” is not an ideal market (E.g. with total fungibility of goods, low non-elastic demand, etc) - Intel has most of the share of GPUs sold because it’s impossible for NVIDIA - or anyone else - to compete with Intel in the spaces where Intel supplies without competition: CPU-integrated GPUs.

On a related note: with PCs now definitely heading towards ARM, this is a sensible move by NVIDIA: they could now sell GeForce-integrated ARM chips for future Windows and Linux boxes - and then they would be the ones with the dominant marketshare.
Using a website would mean browsing it through Safari (the only, artificially imposed browser on iOS), which notoriously doesn't support push notifications and other app-like features. One generally can not get the same functionality from websites and apps, and this is especially true for iOS.
Nowhere close.

There are DIY mods that people have done to be able to run e.q., QMK as well as make them bluetooth.

My impression is that people who really want the concave keywells are building variations of the Dactyl Manuform.
Apple is the worlds biggest tax payer in terms of $ paid out.

For example: Between 2014 and 2017 Apple paid $35 billion in taxes.

While you can argue they should pay more in taxes, the fact is they pay vastly more than their peers. Amazon in particular is notoriously good at keeping their tax bills low.

I don't know what is fair in terms of taxes and I'm not suggesting Apple is a perfect tax citizen, but they do pay a good chunk of cash out to keep the White House lights on.
The keyboard in the submitted post comes with a buzzer built-in. I think they had one in the Planck that beeped when it turned on or connected to bluetooth or something. So you could program QMK to do this almost certainly! :)

Many do not. I know a fellow with his own gardening store where prospective employees refused jobs because their unemployment checks hadn't run out yet. He didn't rat them out, I doubt many did rat because the candidates were so open about why they refused the job.
> Microsoft didn't force people to buy Windows

Most people don't by Window's in a store, it's pre-installed on PCs and Microsoft did, in fact, force computer companies to buy Windows licenses for every PC regardless of what OS it came with and they threatened to pull their licensing entirely for any company that didn't abide.

Ironically, this is not what got them into trouble.

I would sell it and buy a new phone. Do you think Apple competitors would not pay you or accept the phone as part of payment if Apple did that? The problem is people think they are smarter than everybody and can tell you how to manage things. The market is smarter than anybody or any group of people. You cannot force a private company to cater to your beliefs of how a system should work. People buy iPhones knowing there is only one app store. And, as an iPhone user, is an advantage. I know that my grandparents and parents using an iPhone will not screw it up, or at least the possibility is smaller compared to the alternatives.
There is no need to travel to jungles. Subtle differences are all around us.

* plants - trees, grasses, flowers, native and garden species, once I knew maybe 400 names, now come to disuse and quickly slip away

* food - ingredients and prepared

* fonts - Comic Sans, Times New Roman, Helvetica and many more

* car models - a lot of people know them by heart

It would be a strange claim we do not perceive difference without a name. We do but we do not care. And when we care we want to communicate and names become handy.

There's something you capture that I find interesting about the university system.

> She told me my semester English paper was a total F. Thank god by my 20s I'd matured enough to stop making excuses

I remember being laser focused on grades, so concerned about my ability to deliver on the assessments that sometimes (Especially in those high credit load semesters) I would completely shirk the academic duty of seeking understanding if there was an easier equivalent to get the same grade. It became "I can read half of three books and synthesize a passable Frankenstein's monster".

It wasn't often that I sat down and focused on why this type of self-improvement (I was a good student, but not the greatest), the type of self-improvement which is only motivated by someone actually saying "This sucks" to your face and you trusting that they are telling the truth. I think the only saving grace was my lack of vision [0], ironically, as it forced me to do way more work which naturally forced me to apply myself more vigorously.

> I'm less and less convinced that human organizations can light kids up. We gotta come lit up and some hard knocks often helps get that fire started

For me, it was often my peers that aided in this. I took a few classes where it was much more focused on working as a cohort [1], and those situations connected me far more intimately with the material. I think one of the greatest parts of university that many of the incoming cohort will miss initially is the ability to form the type of peer groups in classes I was able to, which proved to be hugely impactful on my ability to learn the knowledge [2].

> Heck, I worked for a company that signed an exclusive deal to only use a single server vendor.

How did that work out? Did your company secure a good rate - and/or did the vendor become complacent once they realised they didn’t have to compete anymore? Did the contract require minimum levels of improvement in server reliability and performance with each future product generation?
Oh but see then third parties who's software _I_ want so badly and would sacrifice my ethical position to acquire might choose not to distribute on Apple's app store because it's anti-competitive. Well shit.
Yeah no surprise there. The second Discord logs of the scam being planned started circulating around Twitter I knew it'd be a matter of weeks before these guys were caught. Absolutely unreal that one of them was dumb enough to not only post chatlog screenshots on Twitter with their usernames uncensored, but to use something like Discord to plan this in the first place.

Since the crimes were financially-motivated all of them get upgraded to felonies. I have sympathy for people who get fucked by the US' dumb CJ system, but uh... touching a Presidential candidate's Twitter account was whose idea, exactly? What did they expect would happen? I have a hard time believing the "for the lulz" defense some people are making for these people when the whole thing was clearly financially motivated.
How is Apple a monopoly? They own a system and manage the rules around it, that is not a monopoly. Will you force car manufacturers to let you install any system in the car? Why can't I install any app on my car?
IIRC in the past, cyber criminals in similar situations were made to help federal cyber crime investigations, not sure whether through community service or a form of prison labor. The price tag for talented people is high so it's a win-win situation compared to wasting their talent by making them do low skilled labor.
I think we fundamentally disagree about Apple's behavior.

> Arguably, Apple has monopoly power in the market they built so nothing wrong there.

Apple embraced the web and the internet, then extinguished it as a means of getting software to consumers.

> Online marketplaces tend to be global marketplaces with very high barriers to entry.

This is false. The web is a free for all.

A better analogy for iPhone and Android being marketplaces is x86 and ARM being marketplaces. Can you imagine having to pay to run your code and your commerce on CPUs?

Phones should be utilities.

> A better example might be a national every day low price store like Walmart.

Yes, but the problem is that it didn't take someone who knows better to hack what is (used as) an official government communication platform. Or one of the largest social networks, or a company with thousands of engineers - take your pick; it's hard to put this in a good light.
This seems to have some overlap with the proposed "Constructal Law" of thermodynamics that is supposed to explain the natural evolution of 'design' in nature (1, 2). Granted, this concept is not without controvercy, and I'm not 100% sold just yet, but I was curious enough that I bought the 'Design with Constructal Law' text book to see if I can get to the truth of the matter by reviewing the math and perhaps running a few experiments. I'm working on it.

> That's true for an awful lot of people. Even if their purpose is simply to take care of their families.

And for an awful lot of people it's not. It will also be significant portion that finds purpose due to no other options as they try to make the best of their situation. I would not call getting paid to providing for ones family a purpose, since it would end if the person would be able to provide in some other way. If that was true, people would find purpose in standing in rationing lines.

> Labor is often a means to some other purpose.

That purpose-giving labour doesn't need to be economically coerced wage labour for someone wealthier. Especially if the scarcity is artificial it's most likely seen as an injustice and an insult.

> Freedom has many, many meanings, which should not be conflated with each other. "Free markets", for example, doesn't mean everything should be free of cost.

Yes, the term is used as propaganda. Which is at its most clear as soon as less work is discussed.
Your list is interesting because of how it overlaps with yet reframes mine (from http://akkartik.name/about):

A. Backwards compatibility considerations. Early mistakes in the design of an interface are often perpetuated indefinitely. Supporting them takes code. Projects that add many new features also accumulate many missteps. Over time the weight of these past adaptations starts to prevent future adaptation.

B. Churn in personnel. If a project lasts long enough early contributors eventually leave and are replaced by new ones. The new ones have holes in their knowledge of the codebase, all the different facilities provided, the reasons why design decisions were made just so. Peter Naur pointed out back in 1985 (http://akkartik.name/naur.pdf) the odd fact that that no matter how much documentation we write, we can't seem to help newcomers understand our programs without talking to the original authors. In-person interactive conversations tend to be a precious resource; there's only so many of them newcomers can have before they need to start contributing to a project, and there's only so much bandwidth the old hands have to review changes for unnecessary complexity or over-engineering. Personnel churn is a lossy process; every generation of programmers on a project tends to know less about it, and to be less in control of it.

C. Vestigial features. Even after accounting for compatibility considerations, projects past a certain age often have features that can be removed. However, such simplification rarely happens because of the risk of regressions. We forget precisely why we did what we did, and that forces us to choose between reintroducing regressions or continuing to cargo-cult old solutions long after they've become unnecessary.

I can't really rebut anything you say. I'm going to keep it on my radar as I go about my project. It's currently pre-network, unsecured and inaccessible. And will always be manually configured, for reasons described in the link. But it's supported, for what that's worth.
It was some developer conference years ago that I watched on YouTube.

Speaking of which, YouTube is another one of those Google properties that clearly doesn't care about the user. Things like: For me, YouTube streams from the wrong city because of a bad Geo IP database somewhere in Google, and so 4K streams stutter even on a gigabit fibre internet connection. Google makes it very clear that there is nothing anyone outside of Google can do about this. Not me, not my ISP, not anybody. (PS: I pay $15 monthly for YouTube Premium, about the same amount I pay for Netflix. Netflix streams flawlessly, and they have a support service I can contact to solve streaming issues if it doesn't work as expected.)

Similarly, YouTube's UI is very slow on Firefox for no good reason other than: "Google doesn't care about anything but Chrome".

These all have reasons for why they are the way the are. I get it. Geo IP databases are inaccurate and a hassle to update. Firefox is not the biggest browser, and Google focuses on their own products first. I get it.

But as a user, these kind of things erodes my trust in Google, and makes me realise that I'm the "product", not the customer. My interests are not Google's interests. My interests are Apple's interests, however, which is why I have an iPhone and will never buy an Android phone under any circumstances.

I would say yes, I absolutely do want the government to intervene. Market competition is obviously not doing the job, and none of us individually is strong enough to force the issue with the suppliers. That is exactly the situation where regulatory intervention is appropriate to protect the little guy from the power of the big guy.

I use Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation because Google Maps confirms the need to turn at exactly the moment I already need to be turning, which is not helpful, especially on the highway where "next exit" is a little ambiguous (to me, anyway; I think "next" is the one after "this" exit). Apple Maps confirms the need to turn some 500 ft ahead of any turn. No need to ask myself "have I gone 1.2 miles yet?".

It was even worse driving in the UK. Google Maps told me "at the roundabout take the 3rd exit on St. George St.". Well, does the driveway-looking exit, or the store entrance count as #1 or do I ignore that one? Also, their street names may be precisely correct, but streets on the roundabout are not labelled by their names, but by the city/town that the road goes to next. Apple Maps, by contrast says "exit the roundabout at the 3rd exit going towards Canterbury" (or something like that). I can't remember if they said the exit number or not, but all you had to do was confirm that the exit with the sign saying "Canterbury" was more or less the 3rd exit and good to go.

Then there is the problem where I'm not using navigation and looking for a street name. Google Maps used to label major streets, but now they do nothing of the sort. You might get the major highway if you're lucky, and there will be a minor street with a label somewhere, but the major street off the freeway exit? You can't find the name until you zoom in until the street is the only thing visible, and then I guess Google Maps decides that they might as well display that useless street name, since there's nothing else that can be displayed. Mind you, Apple Maps is only marginally better for that, but still.

Google Maps is better for finding things, but I fired it for navigation.

Idiotic move, driven by Turkish nationalism, that hands a massive PR win to the Cypriots and is likely to result in a significant backlash against Turkish tourism in general.

Pre-Covid, Turkey's tourist industry had been rapidly expanding. By 2019, Turkey was the world's sixth most popular destination, with over 51 million tourists. That's a lot of jobs, a lot of cash for a developing nation with low levels of education and skills.

The fact that their newly opened Istanbul Airport will, once completed, have an annual capacity of 200 million passengers indicates Turkey's ambition was to keep their tourist industry growing as fast as possible.

The national flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, with 315 scheduled destinations, was the largest mainline carrier in the world by number of passenger destinations. That's a lot of planes that are currently mostly grounded.

Now, just as the entire global tourist industry lies in tatters, the Turks are going to dredge up bad memories and alienate the valuable European market by moving aggressively against Cyprus, an EU member. Are German and Swedish tourists really going to ignore that and book their winter escapes in Turkey?

All that Turkey gains is a good but relatively small site for a tourist city, one that has to be demolished and built again from scratch. That massive investment, made in direct defiance of United Nations rules, could all be lost if they do end up having to hand that disputed territory back to the original occupants.

It is all so needlessly stupid, running directly counter to the long-term interests of Turkey as a whole. This is a good example of why "strong leaders" are not such a hot idea. The generals running Thailand, another country massively dependent upon tourism, are an example of the same thing. Even before Covid-19 came along, they were needlessly whipping up anti-Western sentiment, overcomplicating their visa rules, and pretending that tourism was no longer a significant part of "Thailand 4.0". Now that roughly a quarter of their economy has disappeared, they have to somehow do a 360 without admitting they made a mistake and losing face.
