Joining with Nvidia is definitely a way for MediaTek to make inroads against Qualcomm and their Snapdragon chips.

I have an elderly friend that I will probably need to migrate as 1 of their 2 computers doesn’t support win11. I am fully able to migrate them, but I really want it themed(Plasma6 probably ) to look as much like 10 as they a dealing with cognitive decline and I don’t want to force them to relearn using their computer.

I need to start investigating, but I got over a year to do so. The other part is making sure the 2 pieces of proprietary software they use runs in wine. I expect both will, but need to check.

This is obviously something that developers probably don’t think about as much as an accessibility issue in general.

No, it this case the backdoor. Hide it in plain sight.

Seriously. If you are going to do it, write in assembly or something else no one understands.

For most consumers it doesn’t matter. What will is “Why does program X run so slow when program Y is fast?”. That can be solved with marketing, like calling the ARM version of Windows “Windows M 11” or something like that. Programs optimized for “Windows 11 M” will run faster and older windows 11 programs will run, but slower. Explaining that will be key to whether Arm windows will succeed.

Most users though use a small subset of programs. Like web browser, email, light office and some media consumption. Should work well enough for them.

“Fall of 20xx” is when Apple usually releases new versions of iOS, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that iOS18 will be the release.

This seems a lot more rational than some other closings where you hear about hundreds closing. Closing a few, but possibly replacing some of them with their smaller stores. Sound much more proactive than some closings we hear about.

Shouldn’t the math be degrees over ambient? So 22C would be (56C - 48C)/56C = 14%. Seems like marketable market speak.

So the moral is use Firefox and not Chrome?!

This kind of “self driving” shouldn’t even be legal. Giving a driver a explicit reason not to pay attention but still instructing them and expecting them to pay attention is a recipe for disaster. I don’t know whose bright idea that was, maybe an accident lawyer, but it has been quite deadly.

I think that this has been grossly overblown with regards to the available ‘AI’ related stuff. Sure some of it it cool, but a lot of it isn’t ready to be a real product. It amazes me that all these companies are will to put themselves liable for what these things will undoubtably say.

A lot of the AI are just tools, good when used right, bad when used badly.

So if I use Firefox I have a choice between a 5sec delay or a 5sec delay and ads. That seems like an easy choice.

I thought I saw an article that said that they were cracking down on this. Now they are doing it?

So am I understanding that correctly that the $20B is the 36%? That would put the revenue just for Safari users at $55B per year.

DAMN

Yeah, but this time we can all talk about it in realtime with the rest of the world.
