Well, since all attempts to model a human mind conventionally have failed and since quantum stuff is pretty much the only additional mechanism Physics currently offers, it does have a point.
All attempts to cure the common cold have so far, failed. Should we also wave the quantum mechanical wand for that?
[Windows] keeps freezing, the taskbar keeps crashing and becoming completely unresponsive or stops refreshing, desktop just goes black at random forcing a reboot etc.
I wonder if the China tariff stuff gets resolved this month, if that would improve the outlook a lot
You can hope. But obvious fact is, Huawei and Xiaomi phones just deliver a whole lot more value to Chinese customers, that is the problem. We all know how to fix that, don't we? Cut prices.
You would appear to be the one in denial. How's that antivirus working out for you? Did it let any through? Are you sure? Of course those strange stalls you're experiencing could be just anything. Never mind, just wipe the machine and reinstall... one more them.
Illustrator is for vector art, not painting. And Krita 4 added a bunch of vector art features while further strengthening its lead in painting.
For photo/image work Gimp is fine and gets major improvements every release. The only people missing Photoshop on Linux are ones that only know that interface, which is hardly the best possible. The big deal is the price per seat: $0.00 for Gimp.
Hey, you are in luck, Gay Tim Cook just preannounced for next quarter, guiding down due to collapsing China sales and causing an massive run on AAPL shares.
Today Apple officially reduced it's 4th quarter guidance (to avoid being sued when the ugly truth comes out in February) and fell 8% because of getting hammered in China and the rest of the developing world, notably including India. Great start on working its way down to 8th, wouldn't you say?
Microsoft has always had a better and more thought out desktop than linux.
Yah no. I occasionally have reason to go slumming in the Windows GUI and it always amazes me that anybody is willing to put up with such awkwardness compared to KDE Plasma. Never might the antivirus hell, surprise reboots, crappy updates and all the other reasons that Windows is a nightmare and people who leave it never go back.
You're out of touch. Artists don't use Gimp for painting these days, they use Krita, which is the best digital painter in the known universe. Productivity suite users are moving away from MSFT office in droves, they are moving to Google Office now. You can foam about that all you want but that is the way the world is going. Gamers do just fine on Linux these days, technically Linux is better than Windows, more efficient, more reliable networking and fewer crashes, and the only downside is some AAA titles not available. Which is true of every platform, have you played Bayoneta yet? No? So Windows must suck because you can't play Bayoneta.
Your tired old FUD is getting old, like you. Just give it up.
BTW, LibreOffice is now better than MS Office, the source code isn't a complete steaming pile of shit like MS Office, just for one of many reasons.
Apple not being able to ship a charging mat is just plain comical. While your indignation is totally understandable, that doesn't make it not pathetic.
Gnome (almost) killed desktop Linux, if you had to point at one single factor. With two factors, it would be Gnome and Microsoft dirty tricks.
Well arguably, Gnome is a Microsoft dirty trick too, given that Miguel got a cushy job at Microsoft immediately after laying waste to the Linux desktop ecology. Of course it could have just been incompetence rather than malice, but...
Slashdot Mirror
Have their been any realistic attempts to model a brain?
Still not quite able to model C elegans. Rather a long way from modelling an ant, let alone human consciousness.

Critical temperature of 2000K is, uh, kind of a giveaway. Around the melting point of nickel.
I can confidently recommend saving money by not giving any to Apple.
As opposed to gullible young man?

They cannot afford to play the long game here; the U.S. can
You are delusional. America is the brokest it's ever been since the second world war. China will expand by more than 7% in 2019.

If you must run Photoshop on Linux then go ahead and run it.
Given today's AAPL slaughter it would seem the analysts had it right!
Wow, did I call that or what? A mere two days before Tim Cook admits to collapsing China sales and guides down revenue by $5 billion.

"Artists don't use Gimp for painting these days, they use Krita, which is the best digital painter in the known universe."
That's called hyperbole, and not serious critical appraisal.
It's a fact, and you are out of touch. Krita is not only the best digital painting program on Linux, it's the best digital painting program period.
Yes, let's watch Apple fall to 8th.
Impressed everyone with your witty rejoinder.

I'm pretty sure these charging mats use some kind of induction, which doesn't spew EM radiation all over.
Yes it does, whatever gave you the idea that induction doesn't leak EMF? Hint: induction = EMF.

Apple vs physics: physics wins. Maybe consider letting engineers design products instead of powerpoint managers.
