You‘re right. That‘s why we need a strong EU and multilateral partnerships to counter US and Chinese ambitions.

Correct. But hardware is not the problem here, I‘d say.

It‘s a duopoly and I doubt the US will tackle this problem. At least the EU has started doing something about it.

I can say that it wasn‘t any of the Android edgelords or Linux neckbeards.

This is nothing to brag about, when Android needs this to run smoothly, compared to the same performance of a 6 GB RAM iPhone.

Edit: Just look at benchmarks and every day use cases. How exactly has any Android smartphone ever achieved any significant speed gains by using huge amounts of RAM compared to the then-current iPhone model? I agree with the Apple criticism when it comes to computers. When it comes to efficiency of smartphones, Android just seems to have tons of overhead and has always needed significantly more RAM than iPhones while not being faster at all. Maybe we can put the „look at how edgy I am for not using Apple devices“ aside for a moment.

Those games always looked like they were running in slow-motion. Does that mean Dark Souls 2 feels like a regular game now?

It‘s no RAID. Therefore the name. Unraid shows single shares and has different options for filling up drives. So you can access each individual drive via GUI or CLI, however in its functions as a NAS it only shows combined shares. Underneath you got Btrfs, XFS or ZFS as options.

Not everyone interested in self-hosting stuff has the time or is even interested in diving much deeper into it than necessary. That‘s why QNAP and Synology also offer value to homelabers.

Coming from Synology, where I had learned much about docker and CLI, Unraid was the perfect next step for me to get rid of my Sonology‘s shortcomings. And I figure, it won‘t need anything beyond that in the future for me. I‘ve been successfully running quite a lot of services for the whole family being supported by a sufficient GUI and very limited need for CLI.

No, thanks. Foldable screens look shit. The middle part looks like cheap screen protectors used to look like and the rounded edges of screens on Android smartphones bleed backlight (how‘s that even possible with OLEDs?) like hell. Also, there‘s inevitably going to be dust and other stuff collecting in the mechanical parts. Leave all that to Android fanboys who consider foldables a great innovation.

I paid 430€ for the Eee and I paid 1100€ for the MacBook. Sure that‘s not just a little more money.

However, the way I calculate such purchases is: price divided by years of usage. I used the MacBook as a main computer for four years until I could afford a more powerful Mac mini as my desktop computer. I continued to use my MacBook intensively for university and for mobile photo editing for another five years. This means a total lifespan of nine years or 122€ per year.

If I had stalled my decision not to send back the Eee and try working with it ignoring the shortcomings, I maybe would have used it for a year or a couple of months longer. The netbook trend, according to my recollection was quite short so I guess I couldn‘t have sold it for a good price then.

So what I actually wanted to say is that the MacBook, despite it costing more than double, was by far the better deal for me.

They were unbearably slow even back then. I returned my 1000H with its Atom N270 after a day and saved a little more money until I was able to afford a 2008 MacBook. Never regretted it. On the contrary, this marked my complete move to MacOS which saved me from continuing to use Windows.

How far are they with self-hosting? I saw that on their roadmap a few months ago.
