Fortunately iPad OS does almost nothing to take advantage of M silicon. So it will never throttle because it will be idling....
I would love to see MacOS on these high-end tablets, I just can't see Apple ever allowing their tablets to be ever so slightly open though, it's just not safe FOR THE...
I thought EK was involved with Corsair's design initially? You're right though, EK disappearing just leaves a hole that Corsair is already perfectly capable of filling without spending any money on pointless M&A.
I just think water cooling is a pointless risk in the desktop space, that's...
There have been some serious questions about EK's product quality for a while now. I don't want to call it cutting corners, but there's a certain stink of doing things in a hurry.
Brands like EK suffer triple when global money dries up. Let's be honest, their product is prestige nonsense that has a pretty damned small market, especially with air cooling being so damned good now. I'm long done with water cooling and I was doing it 30 years ago with Tupperware, fish tank...
I really do like the idea of using storage for this, especially given how fast storage is getting. I love the potential uses of all this, but I really want to see it local.
If a smart home ever becomes something other than a burden, making it work offline would be fantastic.
I hope the AI stuff is good, because it's pretty cool tech, it should continue to be that way even after the hysteria and the hype die down. My MBP looks like it went through the Boer War and fought on both sides, maybe I finally replace Ol Yeller.
I was reading about Apple's plan to run local machine learning partially from storage and the first thought I had was "Apple will do anything to enshitify the specs of their low end". It's a logical approach to all this AI nonsense, but it's just... Apple gotta Apple, and that's the first...
There's a moment when the bot is jumping up the boxes that it stumbles and for just a moment there the movement is almost perfectly human. I mean it fails and all, but the attempted recovery looks just like a person falling and trying to recover. That's actually impressive and scary.
Damnit I love a play on words, the only thing better is when it's not deliberate.
I like to think that there were a number of sensible chuckles as people read that.
Yeah, that's because most people don't understand the difference between political structures and economic systems.
It's the reason communism quips are so easy. As far as I'm concerned the inevitable outcome of pure capitalism is feudalism and communism is just feudalism on a national scale...
But recurrent user "engagement" is the future of all capitalism..?
The return of feudalism might hit a few roadblocks I guess. Sometimes the serfs don't want to recurrently engage.
Skynet will never try to exterminate humans, it will never view us as a threat. Skynet may even feel sad about what we're becoming and take responsibility for what it has done.

Don't get me wrong, I like Linux, and I'm technically adept enough to use it. As soon as you say WINE you've moved passed what 90+% of desktop PC users are willing to do. The bottom line is that using Linux daily means dealing with the Google manual, searching the internet to find instructions...
I think one massive release by a company that can use some analytics on how those installations are used could go a massive way to raising Linux up. If a company could manage to get a large enough install-base for Desktop Linux that they could really work on software compatibility other distros...
Your statement is absolutely accurate provided installing and using Linux all you want to do. If you want to use Linux to use other programs, which is what an OS is supposed to be for, that's where the problems start.
I'm fully aware of that, Linux' greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. I'd love to see a decent Steam OS for broad release but I'm just not sure there's any reason at all for Valve or any other company to do it.
Linux on the desktop kind of turns your machine into a box where all you...
Apple really did let Mac twist in the wind for a long damned time.
I'm glad to see some growth in Linux, I just hope somebody can make a more unified desktop version for more casual users. Right now Linux is the best way to make a useful computer into a frustrating hobby.
I'm glad to see the bag charge works the same everywhere it's done. What a crock of shit. I'm all for cutting back on our endless garbage, the amount of totally unnecessary plastic packaging on the average consumer product is mind bending, but forcing companies to charge consumers more is...
According to the world's various governments own data compiled by the IMF it's $7,000,000,000,000 a year to subsidize oil and gas. It's insane, I read that and spent hours reading more, but as far as I can tell that's the actual number. That's corruption, baby, nobody's slicker than an oil man...
I think both the hysteria and the hype are overblown. I'm not so sure it's pure bubble, but it's inflated for sure. Just look at how homogeneous "AI" output is already becoming as the algorithms are trained on "AI" output. This shit just barfs out whatever is most likely to get a response, it's...
There's a McDonald's up here in the deeply frozen deep north of the part of Ontario that is not Toronto that's staffed almost entirely by seniors, many of whom have been there for years.
You know how McDonald's is shitty, inconsistent food with half the crap on the burger and the rest on the...
Nobody reads anything past the headlines so they call it AI and wait for clicks, it all works superbly. You just toss some AI in the marketing wank and get your "engagement" statistics ready for your investors.
I love seeing the first SMRs being built, anything is better than the world's economies flushing 19 billion dollars a day in subsidies down the oil and gas toilet.
Samsung seems to be in a fast race to the bottom with LG these days. They have a ways to go before they make the kind of garbage that LG does, but they're trying!
I guess this is a necro, the amateur forum cops might hunt you down but..
I found the thing to be utterly unusable. I couldn't get it to be stable enough to run the games I own. Thank goodness the game that lead me to reinstall it was purchased through Steam. I never got to play it.
OK, so apparently, as of now there are people that have lost their jobs that still don't know it.

That's disgusting, there are less awful ways to do awful things. This isn't it.
