Shaggar posted:no they use it because linux tools used on dev drives suck. refs has hacks to make bad tools perform better maybe if ms had better dev tools people wouldn't need to use linux ones. by introducing and continuously improving WSL ms has basically conceded this, though and don't get me wrong, WSL is essentially what makes using windows (especially 11) tolerable to me, but it's kind of also a concession that their own poo poo isn't good enough

Shaggar posted:the only people using these things are web "developers" so theres no getting them to use better tools personally the most common toolchain i use with WSL is mingw64, because while it's been getting better a lot of poo poo still doesn't support msvc very well. although i don't have a dev drive set up or anything because i'm lazy and i/o isn't the limiting factor with my setup, so it wouldn't really matter anyway. either way the only "web" developing i'd do would probably be with emscripten anyway lol but really since WSL allows you to use basically any toolchain you want (e.g. maybe some embedded thing) without it needing to be windows native, while still being able to make use of poo poo developed for/on windows, i doubt that's true. there's gotta be at least some actual developers using it

lol microsoft spends years and billions of dollars steadfastly skating to where the puck isquote:Over the past two years, Microsoft has worked in secret with all of its top laptop partners to ready a selection of Arm-powered Windows machines that will hit the market this summer. Known as Copilot Plus PCs, they’re meant to kick-start a generation of powerful, battery-efficient Windows laptops and lay the groundwork for an AI-powered future.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:paramount is looking for a buyer and like with the beatles it would easily solve this problem tbh on one hand i could see star trek being easily fit into atv+, but on the other i think their commitment to it is questionable. producing movies or even tv shows is hideously expensive, even for a company like apple, and what would be the point of buying either the studio or just the trek IP if they're just going to sit on it or sell it off in a few years? though jeff bezos is apparently a superfan, i wouldn't put it past him to just outbid everyone for the IP separate from paramount (which he is probably not interested in), and if that happens it'd probably be an amazon exclusive, of course. they (still, despite $ridiculous, mounting losses) seem to be way further committed to streaming than apple either way

“””””thankfully””””” it supposedly requires one of the new qualcomm snapdragon elite socs with a neural processor, but I’m not sure how much of that I actually believe. I can see them making that a requirement to access this recall feature, but still using all windows machines to train the ai that runs it
