I’m mostly still on Twitter because I follow a lot of Japanese artists and bands. Now plenty of them are jumping out BlueSky so off I go.

I think AMD should also get back into ARM and low-power devices. The snapdragon laptops have made a big splash, and that market could explode once the software is refined, and AMD should be poised to dominate it. They already have ARM products, they just need to make low-power, high performance products for the laptop market.

They don’t need to go with ARM. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the x86 instruction set that prevents them from making low power processors, it’s just that it doesn’t make sense for them to build an architecture for that market since the margins for servers are much higher. Even then, the Z1 Extreme got pretty close to Apple’s M2 processors.

Lunar Lake has also shown that x86 can match or beat Qualcomm’s ARM chips while maintaining full compatibility with all x86 applications.

I mean I guess? But the question here was about value and no way is RT worth double the price.

Wouldn’t be the first time they did this though, I wouldn’t be surprised if they jump back into the high end once they’re ready.

Were the 6000 series not competitive? I got a 6950 XT for less than half the price of the equivalent 3090. It’s an amazing card.

I’m not very well versed in this but isn’t there a confidence value that some of these models are able to output?

Not to mention the change that makes it no longer possible to opt out of being used for AI training. A lot of artists are now jumping ship to blue sky.

This is a typical “holding the bowl to eat, and putting down the bowl to smash the pot”.

What?

It seems that they’re finally taking that seriously though so it’s good to see. They never really had any incentive to put too much effort in making x86 more efficient for consumer devices since their server chips have much, much higher profit margins.

Lunar Lake and AMD’s Z1 is a good start and it’s interesting to see where this goes.

What in the world even is an AI PC? Can we just get all this marketing nonsense out of the way?

I can find this believable in the US maybe (only stayed there for a few months and I heard nothing good, data caps on broadband is wild) but not a chance in countries with stricter regulations and guidelines on what the ISPs are allowed to do.

Is this blocked by ublock origin coz I’ve never gotten that at all on Firefox.

What in the world is a tiktok recruiter?

Well no surprise here given what’s been going on with their MR departments. What a terrible shame.

Same here. Got in with he Fold 3 and I’m now on the Fold 6. They’re fantastic and I can imagine going back. The convenience of having a mini tablet with you that you can annotate stuff on is too good to give up.

I actually find the Z Folds to be far better for one handed usability than regular phones since they’re narrower. Honestly wished Samsung didn’t make the newer ones wider. I liked the Fold 3’s width. It was perfect for me.

The Z Fold places it’s fingerprint reader on the side power button which isn’t quite the same as the back but it’s a lot closer than the screen based fingerprint readers.

Also, Huawei is not banned from being purchased and used by consumers in the US lmao.

I mean sure but you’re in for a hell of a ride if it breaks and you need support.

Qtwebengine is essentially chromium lol

I can concede Insidious especially with the recent news but Revanced is so easy and quick to set up, calling it arcane is laughable. It’s done in under 5 minutes.
