Yes. It loads faster, it has integrated quality levels that increase while loading (so a web hoster doesn’t need to have 5 different copies of the same image at different qualities), it has better compression and it also supports more features. It can also be lossless. Most importantly, jpeg can be converted to jpeg xl losslessly, and it will have the benefits of jpeg xl.
It doesn’t. It designs part of the chips that go into their phones.
Google also designs chips that go into its phones, and Microsoft has also designed chips and security co processors that have gone into PCs.
(Of course, I’d never consider a Microsoft “security co processor” secure, nor an apple or google one).
[edit] I also do not see your point of apple being better (or more virtuous) than google or microsoft for designing their own hardware, for 2 different reasons:
Currently Microsoft and Google have immense control over the software of PCs and phones. Apple wants to have full control of both the software and the hardware, and making their own hardware is a big step towards that goal. It means they’re restricting you (the user) from using the hardware you bought for your own purpose.
Making custom hardware does not make a company more or less virtuous. Manufacturing/designing capabilities are just spending money in the respective industry. As I mentioned before, both Google and Microsoft have designed their own chips, and they also have designed chips for their servers. I would also argue that we should stop humanizing companies. They don’t have human traits, they’re not virtuous, they’re just there to take your money and go.
Apple gets money from both their monopoly on user data and their high prices. That’s why it’s above Microsoft and Google in market cap, even though it doesn’t have nearly as much infrastructure and reach.
I mean like 89% of the shit on Reddit is some OF model advertising.

Last I heard is that he compiles the kernel on an AMD machine (with a threadripper iirc), so he also has a beefy desktop.
It really isn’t that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn’t try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card
I’ve started to go 15-20 minutes late. I’ve never missed a minute of movie, but I’ve skipped so many ads.
If I get one of those, I’m definitely killing it and stealing its copper. Amazon can pay for the repairs.
The number is the signal you send to the program. There’s a lot of signals you can send (not just 15 and 9).
The difference between them is that 15 (called SIGTERM) tells the program to terminate by itself (so it can store its cached data, create a save without losing data or corrupting, drop all its open connections gracefully, etc). 9 (called SYGKILL) will forcefully kill a program, without waiting for it to properly close.
You normally should send signal 15 to a program, to tell it to stop. If the program is frozen and it’s not responding or stopping, you then send signal 9 and forcefully kill it. No signal is “better” than the other, they just have different usecases.
