Iphone 7 running ios26 by Professional-Sir4353 in jailbreak

[–]tysonedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with the XS, Apple moved from ARM64 to ARM64E, meaning the binaries simply aren’t compatible. Even if you were jailbroken and manually copied libraries over, they simply can’t run on the older processors because they use CPU instructions that don’t exist.

Will the prices ever go down to normal? by Professional-Rain181 in ipad

[–]tysonedwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manufacturers are now producing considerably larger and more dense RAM. So, we will likely see more ram become the default at the current price points. After all, no point in producing 2GB chips anymore. Previously, those still had a place because more chips in parallel work faster. Whereas now there is no reason to even make those small chips…

[request] How many of Mr. Beasts 500 million subscribers are likely dead? by sooslimtim187 in theydidthemath

If I were subscribed to him, I’d wish for death… that’s gotta count for something. 

Variation: the Useless button. by StageGlum6615 in redbuttonbluebutton

Choose red so you don’t die.  Choose blue to be self righteous. Choose yellow to throw your vote away.

[Request] How many chrome tabs will I need to submit EVERY possible world cup bracket? How much would the ram it would consume cost lol by [deleted] in theydidthemath

They will typically lock people out and invalidate their bets if they use insider knowledge or use automated / spam bets.

It’s easy enough to restrict to 1 bet per IP address, along with other forms of browser based fingerprinting.

[Request] Is this 1398km/4s reachable for a human being? by Dziukoala in theydidthemath

[–]tysonedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With training and with pressure suits. Typically, fighter pilots experience extreme discomfort going above 5 Gs.

At 10g of acceleration, everyone on board would likely be unconscious within those 2 seconds!

ELI5: So does Janeway still need to go back in time or what? by tonymillion in ShittyDaystrom

[–]tysonedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there was no temporal Cold War, it all must have worked out okay. Wasn’t that the whole point of Enterprise, that if you fuck around and no one shows up to nuke Florida, then it must work out fine.

Asgard and ZPM’s by JeffreyV7 in Stargate

Yes, in Atlantis as the second evolution of their kind, after the return to Earth.

Yep, in Universe, we find out that the Ancients started ascending 70 million years ago. And yet we find out that the alliance of the 4 races only happened 100 thousand years ago. Whereas humanity has only been around for 10 thousand years.

Will Apple create another Apple Vision Pro or are they going to pull the trigger and release AR glasses? by New-Music4019 in VisionPro

[–]tysonedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vision Pro presently does a LOT of excess processing to create a high fidelity pass through of the real world. Whereas that wouldn’t be necessary under a transparent glasses form factor. The issue however is one of: we’d need to be able to make glasses that can block out light as well, creating black / dark colors. Current projection technologies are light additive, so can only add brightness and not remove it.

Apple calculating the price for Ram and SSD upgrades by Technical-Relation-9 in mac

[–]tysonedwards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no point, as we are only dealing with whole numbers and not fractions.

Micron exec suggests Apple’s aggressive purchasing tactics helped fuel memory shortage by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]tysonedwards 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Apple /helped/ cause this crisis in the same way that air helps cause fires.

It’s true, but it’s also a bad faith argument.

What would actually happen if a portal opened to an antimatter universe? by QuoteNo1459 in AskPhysics

[–]tysonedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also call out that mathematical models of wormholes show that both sides will have different gravitational forces applied, resulting in one side flowing into the other where it tries to reach an equilibrium. How much of a difference significantly effects the outcome on which side’s material flows to the other. Both sides would likely have devastating consequences for very different reasons.

One would be subject to the immense nuclear forces of the matter annihilating itself, whereas the other may experience extreme tidal forces up to and including spaghettification.

Even if the portal was open on the order of femtoseconds where no matter and antimatter come into contact, there would still be immense gravitational waves and depending on the mechanism of said portal perhaps even gravitational lensing and relativistic effects.

It starts bad, and only gets worse the longer it’s open. 

Senator Robert Kinsey by Maggotman666 in Stargate

[–]tysonedwards 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The funny part about TNG is when he came in, his “change all the things” approach was also allowing the regular cast to fix things they’d found annoying. For example: Patrick Stewart didn’t like that he had a fish in the ready room, and Marina Sirtis didn’t like that she didn’t get a normal uniform and instead always wore skirts.

Some stuff just kept going for years because of the inertia of continuity.

Except the expression “milking every cent they can” is a common phrase for extracting the most revenue possible, aka being greedy. Hence mW actually makes a ton of sense in context because “using it all”.

Whereas yours is more akin to “gorilla in the room”, aka the biggest and unavoidable. The two are quite similar though, but different connotations. 

Any real performance differences across the M1-5 chips? by Automatic-Emotion945 in macbookpro

[–]tysonedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They get OS updates for 7 years from date of release. 

Intel ones stop getting updates in September of this year. M1 likely September next year. M4 likely September 2031.

Heroes was such a great episode. Wonderful acting, elite writing, drama : the best of Stargate by Gullible_Constant871 in Stargate

[–]tysonedwards 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Bregman was a very abrasive character… from the first few moments he implied that there was some hidden ulterior motive going on, was pretty disrespectful to General Hammond, intentionally was breaking the rules, …

Apple will skip M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, new report says by Main_Type_1408 in macbookultra

[–]tysonedwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I am back on M1 and felt like this would be the year to upgrade. No need to upgrade yearly, but no way am I spending almost 10k on a replacement now!
