As someone who grew up somewhere super flat it really doesn't get to you because it's all you've ever known. However, now that I live somewhere with hills it drives me crazy when I visit home.

If you're primarily accessing it from a single computer, you can add entries in your /etc/hosts file on Linux/MacOS, or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts on Windows.
If you want it to be network wide you'll have to add a manual DNS entry to your router. Most routers do this automatically by device hostname, so if you set the hostname on your pi to pi.local it should just work.
It's not quite blockchain. It is incredibly useful in a broad range of applications, and has genuinely changed how millions of people work. Sure it's not the magic bullet wall street thinks it is, but my work has been improved immensely through the use of generative AI. Especially with uniquely challenging software problems and niche questions.
I think it'll be similar to VR. Extremely useful and interesting, but over-hyped and not going to penetrate our lives as much as most people think.
It is strictly due to power efficiency. ARM is insanely power efficient when put up against x86. Our phones run it, laptops are starting to run it (ever wonder why MacBooks have 20+ hour battery lives now?), hell AWS is switching their data centers to ARM because of the energy savings. It'll save the world a lot of energy since 10% of our electricity is used for computers.
No one is forcing you to run out and buy an ARM system, and x86 is gonna be supported for a very long time. Software will be developed for both platforms in parallel as it's going to be at least a decade before it reaches dominance.
Did you feel this was when we went from 32 to 64 bit computers? If so, we still write software for them even though many people, myself included, haven't used a 32 bit computer since the 2000s.
I have it free through T-Mobile and still use my Plex server for any movies on Netflix because I can get 4k BluRay quality. Hell, you can even request that the torrent download start to end effectively letting you stream it. Make sure to only do that on healthy torrents though because it's awful for the health of smaller torrents.
Ironic that I can't read the article because of a paywall. It's almost as if people prefer the information to be presented within the platform they use for that very reason.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are only 6 phrases in the picture.
You can also get a piece of paper and poke a small hole through it. The shadow on the ground will be the shape of the eclipse.
I work in distributed systems with 5 9s of reliability (99.999% uptime) and we often say every 9 costs you an extra 0.
In general, FOH refers to anything the audience can see and is open to them, and BOH refers to anything they can't (back stage). Since the audio techs need to be out in the crowd to make sure everything sounds good to the audience, they are referred to as FOH.
FOH/BOH comes from theatres where the front is considered anything in front of the stage, and anything behind the stage is the back. So FOH also includes the servers and bartenders, and anything else the public interacts with. This carried over from theatre to most performing arts venues.
I thought it was marketing BS at first, but the responsiveness of AI related tasks on my Pixel 7 is much better than any phone I've ever used. Voice-to-text is almost never wrong, and processes just as fast as you speak. The photo editing, OCR, Lens search, and all the other random features that are time and time again extremely useful are snappy as hell.
I don't play games on my phone outside of BTD6 and random ones when I'm bored on an airplane, but they've all ran fine without hitching. At the top end the phone is behind, but it's just not my use case to run games at 200 FPS on mobile.
Pixels have always been a software first phone with features that seem niche but actually turn out to be extremely useful. This is the first phone I've had that I can use to improve my interactions with the real world in a meaningful way, and it's very clear that is the direction the Pixel is heading towards.
I've only used the live translate feature once, but when I did it felt magical. I was able to communicate with someone who only spoke Mandarin, in English, almost as fast as if we both spoke a common language. It's probably the closest thing we have to a universal translator device and it was awesome.
With that said I'm one person, and I completely understand some people need a powerful phone, but I think for most the processor is more than enough, and they could benefit from the extra features.
I used to be concerned, and then I saw this video which made it apparent it's extremely unlikely and difficult for ESD to kill modern electronics
