Absolutely moronic headline, it’s a gigantic straw man argument, as you say nobody wants to pay higher taxes just for fun.
Also it’s an absolutely shit article with near zero content for several full-screen page scrolls on a 32 inch monitor!!
You are dead wrong, Estonia is represented in many fora that has China’s acute attention.
Estonia is a small country, but they are a country with an independent voice, that is participating in decisions in for instance EU and NATO.
Estonia has been absolutely killing it the past few years on foreign affairs, and has the attention of many countries that are way bigger than them, especially in Europe.
Also they work directly together with Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania, on foreign policies related to the Ukraine war.
Your knee jerk reaction that a big country can just ignore a small country, is naive and wrong. Especially regarding Estonia which is very respected and influential. There’s a reason they are so often in the news on their political announcements.
Welcome to the 1%. 😋
Yes there are some that switch, and also kudos to those who try, even when they find it’s not for them.
I’m just sad that the problems with Windows isn’t enough for more to abandon it? I simply don’t get “normal” people.
Backlash is actually losing business, what they are really getting is a lot of whining from people who never do anything anyway.
It was the same with Windows 95, XP, then Vista, then 8 and 10 and now 11.
Very few who are used to Windows will abandon it just because it’s becoming a surveillance hellscape of forced updates, advertising and other annoyances.
Microsoft is posting record profits on their way down, just like Intel did 10 years ago.
That said Microsoft is still in a better position, and while Windows may lose relevancy, Microsoft has way more revenue coming from other sources than Intel had without X86.
Rear camera: Wide (main): 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm, 1/1.56"
That’s not a very big sensor for a premium phone main camera.
Seems like we now get cheaper camera to compensate for more expensive SOC?
Display: 6.78" LTPO AMOLED, 1B colors, 165Hz, PWM
PWM at what frequency? PWM is awful if it is not very high frequency as it creates flicker in the display. The only advantage to PWM is that it is dirt cheap to make and very easy to work with from a hardware perspective.
Not exactly a phone I’m getting excited about. I would have preferred better display and a higher end Camera system, and then a slightly slower SOC.
High end SOC’s are so fast now, that they are not a real limitation in my use of a modern phone, even if they are not the top model.
Just look at the Pixel phones, their SOC is about half as fast as top Snapdragon and Dimensity , and AFAIK nobody I have heard of is complaining about them being slow. It only shows on benchmarks, but is irrelevant for 99% of users.
Edit PS:
The 99% number is a very accurate statistic number I pulled from my…
Oh never mind. I hope you get my drift.
AFAIK nobody has died in a Waymo, and they have a very low accident rate, lower than human drivers. Calling it a suicide carriage is just not reflecting reality in any way.
I don’t understand the purpose of that, or how that would be irony.
Looks just like a dumb comment to me.
What a moronic question to ask on a Steam Deck sub?
Of course I have, and Steam deck was priced very aggressively, but info on who makes this Steam Machine and how it will be priced is 100% absent here.
There was a pretty massive attempt at launching steam machines years before Steam Deck, and that it didn’t go well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(computer)
Following a two-year testing period, Steam Machines and its related hardware were released on November 10, 2015. By 2018, many Steam Machine models were no longer offered on the Steam store.
How does that raise the question whether I’m aware of Steam Deck???
There’s an LED strip, y’all!
Cool, I hope they keep that idea. 😀
Anyways it all depends on price/performance is good.
Previous attempts at 3rd party Steam Machines were not good in that regard.
IDK, I haven’t used a tablet for years now.
I have a 6.7" Phone which is great for portability and easy to read, and when I want the bigger screen I use a “real” (old fashioned) computer, either laptop or desktop.
I still prefer the desktop format of a (Linux) PC. 32" desktop monitor is great IMO, and super for gaming.
The tablet fills a hole that doesn’t exist for me anymore.
You are the only one here claiming anything about genocide. The research was on forced labor.
So how’s it going with that political party of yours Musk?
Or was it just vaporware just like FSD, hyperloop, solar tiles, Optimus and Starshit manned mission to Mars 2024.
The man is a manic maniac. 🤣🤣🤣
AI research is very complex and includes several fields, like AI programming experts, linguistic experts, neuro scientists and philosophy. These people are highly specialized in their field, and it is a field of scientific study. Scientific AI research today is a combination of several scientific fields.
Although in-car computing is not the highest end of chips, because these are not for learning, but for execution of what was learned by way higher end server systems.
Still this shows that there is market share to be lost for American companies in the mass market of AI clients. And the logical step is to evolve these chips to server grade 5 to 10 years into the future.
The irony is that the Chinese industry actually wanted to use leading American chips, but USA has prevented that, forcing China to develop as much and as fast as they can to replace American chips. It was always the Chinese government that tried to encourage local Chinese development and use of AI chips, while most of the industry was reluctant.
But recent developments have made it clear to the Chinese industry that they have to have a homegrown option, because they can’t trust USA to deliver, despite China pays full price, and it helps American companies to stay ahead to supply to China too, as it helps pay for the necessary R&D.
We need Intel back in the game.
I think the point is to make money.
The won’t is irrelevant because they can’t, the American anti terror law, gives major rights to any American security agency and even ordinary police to demand data. The only hurdle is a court order. And the agencies have their own anti terror courts that ONLY work with the agencies and only get their info from same agencies, because they are supposed to work in secret it can’t be taken outside.
Faced with such a court order, the company is forced to keep it secret too, and they cannot defend themselves, except to the secret court that works closely with the agencies!
And it’s the same for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and any other American company. Microsoft has just admitted it, which isn’t even necessary since this info was revealed by Edward Snowden just over a decade ago.
And Obama claimed USA had found a fair balance, the fair balance being that the government services can do just about whatever the fuck they want.
Microsoft even admitting this is probably bordering on being illegal, as this is supposed to be a secret, although anyone interested can look it up.
And demand telemetry removed from all US services and products.
As it is now it’s illegal to collect on children, but it should simply be completely illegal.
That’s kind of the point no?
