Samsung does too but I’ve not set it up as such. Instead, it automatically locks the device from biometric unlocks every 24 hours until you login with your pin again.

Same, it’s clean, straightforward and fast unlike the shitty web wrapper that is the new Outlook. If they go ahead with this, I might actually just go ahead and start writing a clone.

Yup, it’s really neat

I’ve been using Notepads (yes with an extra S) instead of Notepad for ages now and it’s a pretty good and fast option with a nice modern design even before MS changed up Notepad.

Not to mention, Apple is able to afford the larger die size per chip since they do vertical integration and don’t have to worry about the cost of each chip in the way that Intel and AMD has to when they sell to device manufacturers.

That’s actually hilarious that this outlet thought a animated video was real.

That’s not really how it works actually. You got sort of the idea that ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture but the reduction here refers more to the variety of instructions rather than amount of instructions. In fact ARM typically requires more instructions since there’s less varieity.

But that really doesn’t mean much in modern processor architectures since all modern processors decode assembly instructions into micro operations internally and execute them. Each instruction and their corresponding micro operations may have a different number of cpu cycles to execute so it’s not something that’s so easily calculatable.

The age of RISC vs CISC (x86, etc) debates has largely ended because of how modern CPUs work. The difference between instruction sets mostly just come down to the language that compilers translate to.

What do you mean by understanding the difference between instruction sets?

That’s assuming there’s sufficient space. Even then if you look at the picture, you can see that the power button is on the bottom of the back side of the device. This makes it even harder to reach than if it were simply on the back since you’d need to contort your finger on top of a long awkward reach.

There’s still third party apps on Android that still work once you patch in your own API key and on the web, old reddit still works.

I’m trying to say that it’s still a useful button to have in an accessible spot because, exactly as you said, it is still used to turn it on.

Sure but you still need to turn it on though?

Eh this is nothing new since the biometrics portion has been part of the process for a few years. The only new part is that now you can skip the passport. The terrifying portion had already arrived many years ago unfortunately.

Most Windows-hating threads on Lemmy in a nutshell tbh.

Having used both, doesn’t 11 have the same level of ads as 10 did? It seems like it’s really only OneDrive ads if you don’t use it if anything?

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.
