Aren't votes supposed to be secret?

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.

No, abstaining is abstaining regardless. All blame directed at uncommitted voters is in reality a fault of the parties that fail to appeal to them.

The voters cannot be blamed for the lacl of choice they were given, to do so is to insist that the parties have a right to make demands of the voters rather than the other way around.

I can't say I agree entirely with you here since it does seem to equate a lack of variety in choices is the same as a lack of choice. Still, I do somewhat get what you mean and I can respect that. Either way, thanks for humouring me, it was enlightening to see the other perspective.

While I agree with you in the ideal scenario, wouldn't the end result of not voting for the lesser evil lead to the outcome where the greater evil wins anyways? In that case, realistically, wouldn't a lack of a vote be practically equivalent to a vote for the greater evil?

I'm not American and so I have no idea how things on the ground are like but it does seem that the people who support the republicans seem to be a lot more passionate in voting for their end?

Yea I definitely agree with you entirely and I don't think what I said is in anyway counter to what I said. I do wish that's what people in general keep in mind when choosing what to vote or even voting at all.

That seems very defeatist though? I mean I get where you're coming from in that ideally we'd have options which align more with what we want to move towards progress but realistically that's not something that's entirely possible right now.

Right now, there's an option that pushes progress further back and the other one that seems somewhat neutral by comparison (unfortunately). In that case, wouldn't picking the lesser evil be better than simply standing by and doing nothing?

And that's the problem. Why do they need someone to inspire them when they should also be interested and invested in their own future? Can't say the same thing is happening in my country, generally even the most politically apathetic person at this age range (me included) understands the importance of it but somehow this seems like a wild idea in the US?

How in the world is that compact? I swear none of these reviewers know what a compact phone is. Unless it's anywhere remotely near the size of the Xperia Z5 Compact or the iPhone 12 Mini, it is simply normal sized at best.

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?

Oh I just map it to the power button which feels more intuitive anyways since that's how most other phones have it set up.

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.

Can you not reprogram it to do something else? I could do it with my old S10e, Fold 3 and now Fold 6.
