If you’re talking about an app that exist solely as Electron, then you might be right. But the primary benefit of Electron is that you can distribute your already existing webapp as a downloadable app, which reduces the amount of maintenance significantly.
Also, when it comes to UI diversity and customization, nothing beats HTML+CSS.

And as you mentioned, there’s a looot of webdevs. Electron empowers those people to easily create applications. Which they did, they created many useful apps. An application that isn’t perfect resource usage-wise is often much better than no application at all.

Think of Minecraft. Java is arguably the worst language to use for a chunk-based 3D game. But it’s still better than no Minecraft at all.

Fair enough.

My parents didn’t tell me :'(

But RAID is backup if it’s backup…

You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.

I think the way you worded it doesn’t make it obvious that you’re criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.

Yeah, and Linux is green all the way through, even though according to the depicted MacOS scale it should only be hitting bright yellow levels at the peak.

Which is why I said “technically”.

Technically, MacOS doesn’t cost money to use and has no ads.

They are the OP.

They meant to say “Control or* Backspace is Space”, right? Right?!

Oh yeah, I didn’t zoom in to check. Just assumed it was unreadable. Z6 does in fact has stuff on the belly, according to Google image search.

Some hypercars actually have a flat undercarriage to maximize aerodynamics. Also not all HotWheels are depicting real cars, so they might not have realistic underbody. This could be one of those 2 cases.

Can we very briefly touch on the logical inconsistency of the “your body, my choice” crowd losing their shit over being told to wear face masks?

I don’t expect them to see this inconsistency, but wanted to touch on it anyway.

I’ll have you know, that I have it on good authority (from the ever rational and totally not an echo chamber Hexbear) that the invasion is actually very successful and Russia is winning. By a lot!

While the post is clearly a shitpost, and the arguments in their provided form are not entirely valid, they could be altered to be valid.

Purpose-built devices will always have advantages over generic “do everything” devices. A modern smartphone can do everything, but you still have MP3/FLAC players, DSLR cameras, calculators, etc. Similarly, a PC can do everything, but there are still TV sticks, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.

PC can’t be as low-friction as a console for gaming. To start playing all you need to do is pick up the controller, press the Home button, TV comes on and you’re back where you left off. All the games in the store are 100% compatible with 0 settings manipulations.

Now, you could build a PC for the sole purpose of playing games on it, and come fairly close to the experience. But you’re gonna spend more and put a lot of effort into it.
Some issues you might encounter:

• picking and installing the right OS
• hardware/software compatibility
• controller support
• seamless sleep/wake
• lack of HDMI CEC protocol to control the TV

Whereas a console is a plug-and-play tailored experience that guarantees all of the above to not be an issue.

TL;DR: You can’t just plug your PC to a TV and expect the same result as playing on a console. It will take much more work to get there.

No idea, that’s what I’ve been told, but Japanese engineers usually know what they are doing.

Afaik, the problem with buried cables is that in case of a flood or tsunami they might break, get exposed and electrocute someone.

I mean, yeah, with trucks like those gas prices are indeed a big concern.
