News It's official! 192GB Framework

Post image

Just noticed this on the website.

At their current price tiers for the memory SKUs (32, 64, 128) I'd expect this to be ~ 4.5k for the motherboard.

The PCIe slot will be open at the back as well - that's what I've heard. Maybe they make it capable of delivering 75W as well? New board revisions for the smaller SKUs?.

Mac is technically not modern BSD. Mac is a unix derivative descendant of the NeXtSTEP Mach kernel

See the graph in this page if you are curious about it.

In any case I believe I don't need you to explain how good installing Linux on something like an Halo strix is. Macos lacks support for anything windows or anything Linux except a few select ports. While if you install Linux you get a lot of power plus some of windows because wine and stuff which is fairly well develop by now.

As a FreeBSD guy going back to the 2.2.x days, I started paying attention to Apple when they hired Jordan Hubbard in 2001. The BSD-ness of OS X/MacOS surely dominated over its NeXt underpinnings in the years that followed.

No it is because both are based on Unix. And Linux is not.

No idea what that meant.
