- 5800X3D have been high for a long time now. Ever since they were discontinued the price has only inflated. Same as the 5700X3D. AM5 was a bit of a slow start for a lot of people who didn't a big bump in jumping to the new platform. So while their high price isn't driven by RAM prices, I'm sure it's getting some extra inflation from it.
- This was made clear when they talked about this previously but once again people don't want to hear that and instead want to rant about AI. The only thing stopping Firefox is its own users.
- I would be bored too if I was disingenuous. Everything is an iteration of ENIAC right? Things haven't changed at all since then right?
- That's an impossible bar to clear though. Because there are ALWAYS features that some users doesn't want.
- This is just tone policing.
"we won't do this" But you didn't say you'd never do this. "okay we'll never do this" But you didn't say you'd never ever do this. "fine we'll never ever do this" But you didn't say that it's never entered your mind once.
They said they won't do it and your interpretation is to demand they said it with more words? Come on, let's stop this nonsense. Can Firefox users ever be happy?
- Standard Firefox users looking for anything to be mad about. Even when it makes zero sense.
- Considering how Amazon hands the reigns over to other law enforcement to view whatever they want, I wouldn't be shocked if they followed this method for other agencies and allied governments.
- 1 year is being pedantic. Apple Silicon is clearly referring to the M series chips which have disrupted and transformed the desktop/laptop market. Self driving also refers to the recent boom and ubiquity of self driving vehicles.
- That narrative never sat right with me. That all these companies decided that AI was going to replace humans suddenly? Just an obvious pit to fall in to and one that conveniently feeds the AI is taking your job meme. Your read makes MUCH more sense.
- I will never understand the intense hatred people have for Mozilla and Firefox then go on to tell them how they should run the company. Which usually boils down to stuff they are already doing or fixing things they have no control over.
- I think it also depends on urgency. When Apple unveiled Intel and Apple Silicon they were very clearly the future of the platforms with large buy in from day 1. Blizzard seems to have a good relationship with Apple since they released the Apple Silicon version of WoW almost the day the first laptops started shipping to customers.
Windows on ARM isn't really the same ballpark. They were still there early, but the platform is still changing quite a bit.
- How well it runs scales with how new the content is. They illustrated this in the article, but they didn't test the current expansion content and high traffic areas. I imagine main hubs like Dornogal or the current raid tier will require dropping the graphics very low to not have a slide show. Bumping up the resolution has a significant impact as well.
- I've been very curious about this since they added Windows on ARM support. Admittedly there hasn't been a really performant SoC to see how it stacks up to Apple Silicon. The Apple Silicon version runs so well I had hoped they brought that same performance jump to Windows on ARM. One thing I noticed about the Apple Silicon version was that it loads the game world significantly faster than x86. Even with lots of heavy addons. I'm curious if that mirrors to Windows ARM.
Also curious if Battle.net client has the same bug as Apple Silicon where it consistently needs to run a game "update" after closing the game. The client is still x86 even on macOS so I'm wondering if this is an translation issue that could be fixed with a proper native client.
- This is a fairly novel use for AI. I would be curious to do a comparison between someone I was very familiar with and their generated voice. The podcasts Google generate are sound but the presenters lack any sense of personality and feel as deep as cardboard.
Most of my podcast listening though is of panel discussions which you can't really outsource in a meaningful way.
- Yes, same way we need to worry about people being fooled into sending tons of gift cards to scammers or letting scammers install trojans on their computer. There is a slice of the pie that is personal responsibility, but there is a larger piece where efforts can be made to prevent these problems by the developers or OEMs.
- SATA SSD's are in a weird space. HDD are cheaper and more reliable for large storage pools. NVME is everywhere and provides those quick speeds and are even faster if you need that. There just aren't many use cases where SATA SSD's are the best option.
- That's my read. That it's not a revenue generator and taking server resources that could go to something that is making them money. They've at least added more things to Google One over the past year which softens the blow.
- Yeah I think a lot of privacy advocates like to pretend they are some high value target. A nation you don't live in, that has no use for information about you is collecting information on you. What is the problem that wasn't there before? I can at least understand a principled stand of not wanting cloud connected cameras or microphones, but the China hawking is just ludacris.
- I think the equivocation of online and real life is a massive mistake. When you go into a grocery store you are constantly on CCTV. Does that mean when you shop on Amazon them recording you via webcam should be considered? Obviously not. The restrictions in real life are temporary. If you try to buy port, go into a bar, etc you are asked for ID and they look at it and hand it back. They don't take your ID, your picture and store it forever and then sell information about you to other people.
The concern about children is aimed at the wrong target. Instead of targeting everyone it would make far more sense to target the platforms. With Roblox having a pedo problem the company should face punishment. That will actually get them to change their ways. However all these massive platforms are major donors to politicians so the chance of that happening is low to none.
Governments are never perfect. They are always in a precarious position where they can turn quite harsh quite quickly. I can't speak to each EU nations politics but things have been turning towards the right for a while and they are finally in positions where they can make these demands and get them passed.
