The repo history shows about two weeks of development. If you can't be bothered to do basic due diligence before critiquing, your opinion is just as 'vibe-based' as you claim the code is.
I think an important differentiator is that of all the companies you just listed, Valve is the only private company. That seems to explain a lot of this.
Not sure why you are down voted so much. I have a Mac for work, and I'm told that the chips are literally the fastest thing you'll experience. By a margin.
I have 3 different security scanners forced by security and it is much slower than my personal Linux Lenovo. Even just the basics with UI responsiveness that in my experience Macs have always been pretty good at, to the detriment of applications.
My experience of the ARM Macs has been through work, I personally owned Intel Macs and they were generally crap but felt faster than this.
This heavily depends on your company "policies". In general, it is not even really IT's fault - most of them would like to optimize performance and user experience, but the C-suite has mandated shit on your computer.
I’ve just always experienced them as a road block. They’ve only ever wanted to make their jobs easier. They’ve never wanted to enable me and make my life easier.
If you have 3 security solutions installed and get pwned, oh well, it's not your fault. If you had none and get pwned, you get the blame, even if the attack vector wouldn't have been protected by most security solutions.
And yet most of the people I know, including many technical ones, default to ChatGPT before Google's AI Studio. Google has general brand awareness, but ChatGPT has become the Bandaid or Kleenex of AI
I agree but how many consumers actively purchase Bandaid or Kleenex over cheaper store brands? Becoming a generic term doesn’t always translate to great business. “I’ll put it into chat” could easily end up meaning “enter into Google’s AI prompt” for many people.
Unless they had total component failure, its most likely localized and if you create redundancy like RAID - you may be able to counter whatever they are seeing as a failure mode. Or at least reduce the likelihood of impact on the flight giving them time to replace components on the ground
If you're looking for an alternative to all of this, the BangleJS v2 is both cheaper and more hackable than the Pebble watches. It doesn't tick all of the same boxes, but it's performed well for me over the last 6 months.
Here's what it offers:
* Screen is fully visible under direct sunlight
* With the screen always on the battery lasts me well over a week
* Heart rate monitor
* EXTREMELY hackable, everything can be hacked on with JS, even the
launcher you're using for apps
* 108 Euros shipped to the US
* Fully supported by GadgetBridge (open source mobile app)
But it is absolutely nowhere near as polished a user experience as Pebble was. I have had constant disconnects for months at a time with Gadgetbridge, loads of edge-case bug-like behavior that is in fact documented but in a weird location that nobody would look at or consider reasonable behavior, three hardware failures in three years (I'm still using one of them with a busted vibration motor), and on-device UX and tap accuracy and freezing that really only works out if you're sold on everything else about the device.
I haven't found anything else I'd recommend for a Pebble fan though, it really is the closest. I'm begrudgingly happy with it because I have no better alternative, not because it's an actually-good product.
I have the BangleJs v2 and built a few small things for it. While I do like the hardware, only having one physical button kinda kills it for me. The software, community, and overall developer experience was pretty nice though.
I also tried Watchy, the eink, esp32 powered smartwatch. I got hardware v2 and I remember struggling a bit with firmware.
I had a Pebble back in the day and I'm currently wearing one from the new batch. It's the best combo of hardware and software in a smartwatch I've personally experienced.
