@catsalad @foo @discatte If only Itanium development wasn't behind schedule. If only AMD didn't go off and make a 64-bit x86. If only...
If only Intel had partnered with Texas Instruments instead of HP, so they could name it TItanium.

@DocBohn @catsalad @foo @discatte I'm given to understand that x86 emulation for Itaniums was pretty poor with low performance and compatibility. I suspect they would have had a long, hard uphill battle all the way even if AMD hadn't released AMD-64.

@DocBohn @catsalad @foo @discatte my understanding is Itanium bet heavily on compilers getting a lot better, and that happened much slower than Intel was hoping

@chucker @DocBohn @catsalad @foo @discatte It was also the beginning of the rise in gcc on the server, and it seemed like that compiler technology (to the extent it existed) may have been overly IP-encumbered.

@tuxicoman @foo @discatte To be fair, both tablets as well as VR headsets established in their niche. The rest⦠not so much.^^

Tablet was supposed to replace laptops. It's not there.

@tuxicoman @foo @discatte Will never be, that was just marketing slop. However they now exist in a stable market, that's more than you can say about the other stuff. π

@Natanox @tuxicoman @foo @discatte There are a lot of people in the world with a phone, a tablet, and maybe a bluetooth keyboard.

@marshray @tuxicoman @foo @discatte Of course there are, however a tablet still can't compete with a full laptop featuring a fully-blown desktop environment for multitasking. Although they could, as proven by Linux Mobile (unfortunately that development ain't there yet, the teams working on that are smaller and those dockable smartphones purely for development and otherwise rather underpowered).
Those half-baked solutions like Samsung Dex just ain't it, given the apps are designed for touch.

@Natanox @tuxicoman @foo @discatte seems headsets have β so far β fallen far short of what Oculus thought they were going to be
