All models are equipped with 16GB of RAM, and two additional storage variants are available that cost 21,999 yuan (about $3,089) for 512GB and 23,999 yuan (about $3,370) for 1TB.

They are learning from Apple about the memory price. $300 for 512 gb additional memory storage is insane.

By supporting work on a freelance basis

This sounds like Valve is paying devs to work full time on arch, and thus managing to achive more than volunteers could.

A little low specs for a tablet with “pro” in its name, but at only €400 they needed to save money somewhere

You’re right, my comment was oversimplified.

Because both ways are used. Microsoft relies on file names, linux on the first bytes of the file.

I don’t think “most” applies here. Text-based files, pdf, media files and most executeable files are not .zip.

I think it makes sense from a programming view. When you have a document, you can add all the media files and pack them together as one archive. Then the program sets the filename to .docx so everyone knows that they need an office program to open that file.

For the users, all you need to know is what program can open which files. If every document would be named .zip, you would have no idea if it was a spreadsheet or slides for your presentation.

OP refers to the fact that you can rename some filetypes to .zip and unpack them.

Notable examples microsoft office files (.docx) or android apps (.apk).

Counterexample are media files (mp3, mp4, jpg).

I was a little disappointed how little happens. Anybody still remember the baseball at the speed of light?

Thanks for the hint on nVidia. That might explain my issue

I don’t think the noveau drivers are ready for gaming.

Oh, they found one scenario that looks good for them. Never trust those early benchmarks until they can be verified independently.

This graphic is a nice summary. If China continues its growth with EVs, they could reach >90% by 2030 or even earlier.

“Soon” is in 10 years:

Recent breakthroughs in recycling, together with a spate of technological improvements, mean that within a decade or so most of the global demand for raw materials to build new batteries could be met by recycling old ones.

Some believe that no additional mining will be required in 25 years, which sounds quite optimistic.

This will be caused by a combination of better recycling and continuing advances in battery chemistry, which boosts the energy density of cells so that batteries can be made with fewer raw materials. This, RMI believes, might see mineral extraction for batteries being avoided altogether by 2050.

It is good that they are easier to read, because they are about as long as the first book of The lord of the rings.

I don’t think that this article is fair and objective. It seems biased towards tesla.

Doesn’t look too bad for me

AFAIK completely without ads. This is the first sentence from the link I provided in my previous comment:

Meta will offer people in the EU, EEA and Switzerland the choice to pay a monthly subscription to use Facebook and Instagram without any ads

They want 10€ from EU citizens to not show ads, but it is doubtful that this is legal.

You’re right, these are definitely some advanced topics. But no need to know everything yourself, if you stumble upon one of these topics during your research, you might want to post them here.
