@chikorita157 Windows is long dead to me, I can’t come up with a single reason for me to run that only anything I own.
But that said, I think an OS should be measured against its potential not its competitors. And MacOS could be so so so much better in so many ways.
Clear out the bugs, modernize, fix issues, finish the half finished stuff, fix performance issues, fix the things devs find are missing, make Xcode the best ever, etc.

The current best hydrogen generation processes is only 40-60% energy efficient, which is a lot worse than battery loss, and it depends on how clean a plant's electricity source is.
Each person or small group of people having their own private moving box is still much less efficient than sharing a huge box :ablobcatreachflip: Public transport is better when enough people take it.
@anianimalsmoe@chikorita157 That and one practical problem is that charging stations are being built out and there is a network in many places. If I got a hydrogen car I would have 0 places to charge it.
Fuel cells are cool (says everyone except the people on the Apollo 13 mission) and all. But there doesn’t seem to be any appetite for it.
I’m all for public transport, but I have got to say that it’s a much more difficult nut to crack over here. So little is built around it (with the exceptions of a few cities).
For example the light rail in the twin cities. Close to useless unless you live in very specific places, and created a big mess as it was really just an excuse to rewrite laws so development companies could build on parking lots.
Less parking lots less cars right? Just that the light rail just sucks too much to be a replacement:/
Which is why I think, in the case of the U.S., trains between cities would be a better start. Especially transports.
(Also boats! Outlaw cruise ships and tax transportation in big ships. Automate manufacturing and manufacture closer to the consumer. Those ships are dirty.)
(Caveat Emptor: These are just opinions, anyone who properly runs the numbers should be in charge.)
Oof, the SSD speeds are slower on the PowerCenter compared to my G4 MDD or even the G3 B&W. Might be because I'm running a Rage 128 on the same PCI Bus or maybe it's because of the slower processor and bus speeds.
@yon The accelerator cards usually have backside L2 cache, which speeds things up drastically. I am using a 604 without a cache since it’s missing and it doesn’t perform well in certain instances.
Not only that, the 68K emulator kind of depends on that cache, so without it, performance is impacted.
Installing the remaining stuff on the Mac Clone before I publish my first post on it. I still have more work to do on it when I get another G3 accelerator which actually says its working, to make it usable.
The 9600 will probably come when I come back, but I won’t do too much to it yet as I need to get the ATX PSU kit, a BlueSCSI, another GPU, and another SATA adapter, but that won’t be the focus until the future. I need to check how much RAM it actually came with and if it’s fully populated, take some (hopefully there are some 128MB modules) and put it into the clone as this is the focus, for now. May come back to the 9600 in August/September.
Yep, it seems the studio that got caught of having scenes made from animators in North Korea was actually a thing done by a subcontractor. I wonder, how did this happen :bunhdthink:
@yon I wouldn't be surprised given that Chinese studios, which I believe were outsourcing their work under the table to a North Korean studio... which is apparently not allowed.
@chikorita157 If there’s one universal thing is business it’s that driven sociopaths want all the money and any mean is justified for that end.
If I’ve understood it the connection to North Korea, for every single country in that region, is quite strange. China would much rather NK go away and nobody quite wants anything to do with them. I’d be very surprised if the majority of SK would not want to avoid a unification at almost any cost.
So I assume any work being done in NK is highly regulated. And I bet this wasn’t.
I feel sorry for most people in the entertainment industry. They are so passionate and want to entertain the rest of us. But so many of them work in such shitty conditions:(
