The numbers are totally off though.
A current-gen iPhone SoC (or CPU, the sources are not very clear), nhas about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.
IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.
It is.

It working again after cooling down is an indication for heat creep IMHO. The filament is getting too hot up to where the gears are, causing them to slip and not feed filament.
Apparently “STINKY” is the default StarLink SSID (Another Musk joke), so yeah…
That’s not been true for a long time.
Especially for a private home server, SSDs run quieter, cooler, and are more compact.
Still more expensive than spinning rust though.
Every time I see one of these in my feed I feel exactly the same. Even those that I understand the humor of, I find not particularly funny.
You already got some good replies, but I still have something to add:
It is extremely unlikely you will permanently brick your laptop. The realistically worst thing to happen is that you end up without any working OS, be it Windows or Linux. If you can get help you will be able to install Windows again (not that hard though to do by yourself).
Second thing is that Linux installers usually come with a live environment. That means that your windows installation is absolutely safe while Mint runs from your USB. You can then do some browsing or play around with Mint before deciding to install it permanently.
No do the rest.
Here’s a list of phones I used; Anyway, go buy the new Pixel 9.
Apple already lost in the EU and need to allow other app stores
What do you mean? rustfmt is the de facto standard and is easily run using cargo fmt. Most projects use it along with clippy, the standard linter.
Recently tried biome for a web project. It’s a combined linter and formatter, and it’s so good. Compatible with prettier too.
I’m not from the US, but isn’t the smallest coin a 1-cent coin?
