That's simply a lie. Pretty much all laptops using eMMC or eUFS for storage are soldered directly to the mainboard. These are often budget devices and many are things like x86-based tablets or chromebooks but there are models that are very much laptops. I do concede I am unaware of any non-apple laptops with directly soldered NVMe storage, but your claim that no other laptop have soldered SSD is patently false.
I think it's a little disingenuous to try to compare high/er end Apple laptops with soldered storage to $2-300 Chromebooks and budget devices with soldered eMMC (which is much more like a CF/SD card than anything else) in your argument in the first place.
As you acknowledge. When you look at actual competitors to Apple, you're forced to acknowledge that yup, no other manufacturer solders storage.
But yes, with due pedantry, the statement that "no other laptop has a soldered SSD" is technically wrong.
You could get into additional debates on whether eMMC and eUFS would map to most people's understanding of "SSD", but...
They defer all very real issues caused by their approach as being problems for others to solve (wine, antiviruses, users, even microsoft). That's such a weird level of hubris.
I think the only place where avoiding win32 is desirable is to write drivers, but zig already has support for some level of bare-metal development and I'm sure a package can provide shims to all ntdll utilities for that use-case.
I think it's pretty clear that they're doing it because it's a more fun challenge. As a low-level developer myself, I agree that using the lowest-level API possible is fun, especially if it's poorly documented and you have to try to try to preemptively mitigate breakage! But this is no mentality to have when you're writing a language ecosystem...
You make a good point. And what is wrong with kids wanting to become an actor? It seems fine to me. Most actors never make it big. They work a side hustle (waitor/waitress, etc.), then try-out for various roles. I have a brother who was a musician and artist for many years. He worked a variety of temp jobs in a big city ("office work") to fund his music/art lifestyle.
It's not a dumb question, but OP didn't answer it. Cloudflare is fronting the website. So we don't know if the server is handling the entire traffic, nor if it's using TLS between it and Cloudflare.
Where in the world would that be true? That would be 800 - 1000 ounces per ton! As far as I know the best pay dirt produces a handful of ounces per ton, or 0.01%.
"Indeed, a natural ore mine can produce 5 g of gold (Au) per ton of ore, while 200–250 g Au can be recovered from the same mass of computer boards (300–350 g Au/t for mobile phones) [6]."
Foreigners can drive in California without a California license. But it's important to note that in this situation they're not driving at all (the latency would make that unfeasible). They're there to disambiguate complicated situations and point the car in the right direction.
Try to not let clickbait headlines shape your view of a situation.
Because it's very dangerous and first responders access in national parks isn't always easy. You can obtain a permit to do it, however, see this memo that summarizes the current situation:
Maybe just refuse to try to help them? Why can't we let people win darwin awards anymore instead of criminalizing it? The people doing this are adrenaline junkies who often would LOVE to die this way if they had to. That's why they are doing it.
For similar reasons, suicide should not be criminalized. Yes I am serious.
The legal history is a bit more complex. TLDR: assholes that were BASE jumping in Yosemite in the early 1980s did things like throw burning barrels off the top of El Capitan and take trucks on trails not designed for vehicle traffic.
Comparing the number of BASE jumpers (small thousands) and the number of hikers and climbers (millions) BASE jumpers just can't have the political influence for access.
That's simply a lie. No other laptop have soldered SSD. An increasing number do have soldered RAM.
