gollark: I generally like simpler things. Also, less attack surface.

gollark: I mean, admittedly being CISC is better in some ways and RISC is worse in others, but I kind of prefer RISC.

gollark: ARM positives:- originally more riscy- more implementations- better power efficiencyARM negatives:- literally has a JS floating point conversion instruction???- horrendous software compatibility; most Android devices run ancient kernels with weird device-specific patches and can never be updated, the bootloaders are weird and inconsistent- now very CISC anyway

gollark: Yes, x86 sort of bad, ARM also horrible in similar ways.

gollark: My laptop spends something like 5 to 10 seconds in UEFI when booting. It *ruins* my boot times. I have to wait 25 seconds, it's ridiculous.
