Not Ukraine. Historically it was never part of Ukraine. During the USSR Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union which was part of Russia or a protectorate
I noticed Win10 does not like realtek hardware. Hell, neither does FreeBSD or Linux:-)
I am not giving MS a hail marry pass on this but rather Win 10 might seem to work the right way rather than code around hardware bugs or have hardware code around windows bugs which has plauged Unix on x86 since the freaking dawn of time.
On intel wifi Windows 10 works fine. Older hardware that is Win 7 certified has been problematic with updates and other things from what I observed. Especially bios based motherboards and older graphics as well. Anything UEFI based after 2013 seems to work ok
Apple has alot of explaining to do. If this were a normal company this product would bomb unless priced appropriately sub $1000. Like I said this is a 2016 MacBook Air. Not a power anything.
That'll really hurt us when we go to war with the Soviet Union rather than the people we've been fighting for the last 35 years.
Anyway, if the other side still has an air force, you can't exactly have an effective armored ground campaign.
Hmmm I would say that the next war won't be hitting storage silos in some middle eastern country with bombs with a country with little SAM defenses, but rather Russia itself!
You all have been watching the news? If we went to war or had a skirmish with China in the south seas over those islands how would these A-10's handle Russian/Chinese SAM and Mig jets? I would guess very very bad and would be a great exercise in target practice for the enemy.
The F35 or a modern plane could evade the radars for Russian SAM sites and out maneuver the MIG jets.
I find nothing wrong with forcing yourself to use what you have after the sunken cost. You already paid for it then use it even if you might not like it as you will lose more money if you provide a 0 return on investment.
As background, here's how to avoid the sunk cost fallacy. In accounting one should evaluate the cost/benefits by weighing both choices going forward. Money spent in the past should be ignored in the calculations because that cannot be changed.
Human nature has a tendency to favor options that one has invested a lot of time or money in. But that's often a mistake, kind of like grading on effort instead of merit.
Thus, the question is, if we scrapped the F-35 now, would we get a better military for the same money than if we kept it. The fact that lots has been invested in the past should be ignored.
What's wrong with geting at least some ROI even if it is not ideal? That is lost money that people worked hard for and it may not be ideal but, at least that option should be weighed.
Also, the emotional/logical argument is excessive spending on the latest go gadgets got you into this mess with the sunken cost right? Perhaps, that is not the solution but the problem!
If the sunken costs were dumped chasing the latest and greatest then the answer is stop doing the very things with greater sunken costs later but re-analyze why?
Funny though only US has success on the red planet. This is not only Europe's second attempt, but the same bug. In 1999 the computer shut off its thrusters too early too and it crashed it's probe 100 feet in the air.
Oh please the current Macbook pros are 2012 era hardware. They are never current or fast since Steve Jobs passed.
If I am paying premium I want professional grade and up to date components. Who gives a shit about USB-C when the CPU chokes as soon as you compile code, do video editing , or run virtual machines. I own a dual core hyper threaded and know first hand!
Sorry, admit Apple lost. This is a great MacBook air.
These are pros. Not airs for consumers. Yes the newer GPUs use Samsung 14 nm processes compared to the 28 nm from previous generation. Big boast in performance.
These are supposedly for professionals. Not capable of any real work dealing with VMware fusion, Adobe premiere, compiling code, or anything else a professional would use.
Well they released them knowing the components would be out of date at launch for ultra expensive prices. I mean who pays $2700 for a PC anymore? Both of these are insane and yes AMD fusion is 2 months Kaby Lake is practically here now. If they waited for 3 to 6 months they would have ultra new components in their ultra expensive products at launch for a longer product cycle.
Just as an example the nvidia 10xx series is instrumentally faster as even their low end 1060 performs like a high end 970 last year. The AMD gpus are so horrible that Intel might have been better. AMD is just 1 month away with their new GPU chipset set to beat Polaris and finally challenge nvidia.
Both companies could of had graphics for real professionals that were 3x faster if they could keep their pants on until after Christmas. Skylake too is quite buggy on all platforms including Windows so I imagine both products will have BSOD and be buggy. Skylake is not a good product PERIOD.
Compared to the new MacBook Pro the Surface tablet is probably faster too:-D
Sadly they both have the same dual core cpu but the MS one is 1/3 the price. FYI I own a surface pro 3 and Ubuntu runs great on it! No you did not misread that if anyone wants to run it on a thin and light form factor I recommend it. I still have Windows 10 as well for my Netfix apps which are are handy on a plane.
Skylake STILL isn't ready on most Linux distributions. On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the kernel is missing Skylake support for several features that cause issues, from a black screen upon boot for 10+ minutes (monitor shows no signal shortly after the boot log messages stop (ie when it gets to the console login screen), and stays that way for 10+ minutes. The IPMI KVM console also shows no signal, but the IPMI serial console works), to IOMMU isolation issues. Don't plan to use the stock kernel if you intend to use IOMMU isolation on a Skylake Xeon for PCI passthrough or SR-IOV, everything gets lumped together in the same IOMMU group making it impossible. It doesn't have the Skylake patches yet, which only recently came out.
I have to manually add in a set of Skylake patches from newer kernels and recompile to get it to work each time there's a kernel update. Hopefully that'll be fixed when the 16.10 kernel is backported to 16.04, and I can switch to that. But if Skylake support is still iffy on current LTS Linux distributions, then forget about Kaby Lake. It's just not ready yet and will frustrate end users.
Shoot it isn't ready on Windows either:-)
Especially if you own a Windows 7 box as Intel seems to care about Windows 10. NVMe on 7 is quite buggy from what I hear. I am glad I am still on Haswell as it serves my purposes fine. I am just irritated I can't do GPU passthrough on my K series i7 but it is stable and works.
Hopefully AMD fusion which is about to come out can provide some competition. Intel could use it
AMD makes great GPU's still. I bought an AMD RX 470 and it is about as fast as a nvidia 970 and can do 1080p ultra settings for $215 on anything I throw at it!:-)
The AMD fusion CPU and the higher end RX 490 and RX 5xx cards are just mere months away and look quite promising. The problem is Apple used the cheapest of the cheap outdated GPU
Both MS and Apple should have waited 3 months. Much much better graphics could have been on their high end products. I mean why pay $2700 for a MS Surface Design with a slow 960 GPU? Also it is unforgivable that Apple included just a dual core with hyper-threading on their so called professional line.
I own the Haswell version of this chip and it is not anything like a real quad core when you add loads that professionals use it starts to break quickly in Visual Studio and Hyper-V on light loads.
It still is a crappy product and a lemon. I mean that sincerely and not a troll.
First off the AMD graphis is an RX 450! 450 you know the gpu that has about 1 terraflop or about the speed of a 2011 era card and probably close to your cell phone??! Even the consoles of 2013 have the same quality graphics.
Where is the "PRO" in this? Apple's current pro has 4 year old hardware while its non pro version is more modern. Only a dual core skylae? You're kidding for a $2700 system? GOD Almight!
Even if they had to stick with Skylake it should have a full quadcore and up to 64 meg offerings with real nvidia quadro pro or firepro graphics for the higher end model and at least use a lower power nvidia 960 like the outrageously priced MS Surface Design or whatever the hell their all in one is called for their cheaper models.
The CPU is terrible too. For a reference I own the haswell version of this chip on my Surface Pro 3 which is a dual core with hyper-threading. I am not whinning because I paid $850 and just use it for wiresharking ports, watching netflix, and using MS office on the go. I tried Hyper-V and Visual studio and it burned quite hot and the limitation of cores clearly showed. My other haswel which is a real quad core with hyperthreading i7 4770k can do these things without a sweat and is more professional grade.
What this should be is the next MacBook Air where thinnest and high battery savings for teenage girls and college students writing papers and posting on twitter as this is what is appropriate for a dual core cpu, limited ram, and ultra low end graphics. Again my surface was just under $900 and this is going to be what 3x as much??
Sorry professional it is not and many geeks are furious the escape key is gone for VIM and Emacs as Unix users do buy the pro versions. Apple dropped the bomb big time and should have waited and used 32 gig dimms and better video and cpus even at the cost of battery life as the MacBook Air serves these users better and much cheaper.
Back in the good old days pre 2011 gnome 2 with compiz and init was pretty cool. SystemD and gnome 3 brought me to Windows 7.
To this day I am still on Windows and run Freebsd as a VM. I do not trust gnu/Linux much as making it not suck is not a priority and the Windows 10 GUI is Paradise over gnome 3 or kde
So I can create conclusions based on bias hypothesis with no experiments?
How is that reality? Proof that 58% of species decline is caused by climate zones changing too quickly? Prove that each time there is a flood it MUST be climate change? I am sick of the bias!
It just adds ammo to the denialists otherwise.
Human activity we can prove. So less kids means less problems.

Anyone else notice this?
Fine here is my source on older hardware.
And here is the cpu which is a glorified i3 with hyperthreading also called the i5. It is not the quadcore model.

That way it's both certified to run on gnulinux and tested with QA.
I would go with Dell specific Kaby Lake Linux model as it gives Dell a financial incentive to support Gnu/Linux
Funny though only US has success on the red planet. This is not only Europe's second attempt, but the same bug. In 1999 the computer shut off its thrusters too early too and it crashed it's probe 100 feet in the air.
I forgot the name of the probe for that one.
A quick glance at the low resolution screenshot showed an explosion with black soot. Engineers said it was caused by the rockets still being on.
If they were turned off it would leak fuel in It's crater but would not ignite

Not really.
Back in the good old days pre 2011 gnome 2 with compiz and init was pretty cool. SystemD and gnome 3 brought me to Windows 7.

I use Freebsd and I do not have that problem :-)
You click on Windows it runs
That is idiot proofness that users like.
What's not to get?
Can it run outlook, word, excel, PowerPoint, autocad, Photoshop, and games?
Please do not sight running crappy wine configs or a VM. If you have to do that than why leave Windows in the first place?

Look a story about a hurricane is posted on slashdot and climate change is instantly and scientifically accepted without question.
The problem is too many people frankly
I am not talking about eugenics.
I am talking about reality. Greed wins everytime with the free market.
The only solution is to alter supply to fix demand. Less kids means less problems as resources are limited. Having 1 kid per family helps everyone
