Huh I guess 4 guest appearances on a soap opera outweigh her entire musical career, including 2 Grammy nominations this year.

Just like when they banned shared accounts too I bet.

Company sells goods to consumers, more at 11.

There’s always people out there that want to be on the bleeding edge. People spend $2000+ on just a 4090 card, or $2000 on a stupid folding phone that breaks from a grain of sand.

For a high end enterprise geared headset that functions as its own standalone device and doesn’t require any connection to any other computer to work, this isn’t even expensive.

This isn’t meant to compete with something like a Quest. It’s meant to compete with something like the Varjo Aero, which goes from $5-10k.

For a company deciding on implementing AR/VR, the cost to get a Quest Pro for $800 plus a $2500 workstation to power it, vs a $3500 Vision Pro that doesn’t need a workstation, it’s pretty comparable.

It won’t be worth it for a hot minute. There are only a few routers on the market and they range from several hundred to a couple thousand.

And there are even fewer devices that support it. There are a couple laptops that support it, but they’re a few thousand dollars.

2nm process doesn’t actually mean 2nm though. Hasn’t in over a decade.

The current 3nm process has a 48nm gate pitch and a 24nm metal pitch. The 2nm process will have a 45nm gate pitch and a 20nm metal pitch.

“Nm” is just “generation” today. After 5nm was 3nm, next is 2nm, then 1nm. They’ll change the name after that even though they’re still nowhere near actual nm size.

They’re pushing a Google developed infotainment system. Android automotive.

I mean, they’re using Android automotive. It’s not truly a first party OS.

They have a deal with Google for it.

The GM brand didn’t actually sell cars at these prices, though some say on Twitter that the responses offered by ChatGPT could serve as the basis for a lawsuit (it doesn’t).

Yeah, it’s just someone trying to hit their article quota or another AI churning out articles.

Is everyone here as retarded as you?

Fuck, no wonder this site is struggling.

Intel is not in the article. Literally nothing about this post is about Intel other than an offhand remark about XMP.

The article is about AMD CPUs. I could not give a flying fuck about Intel.

Enabling XMP isn’t overclocking the CPU. It wouldn’t blow this fuse.

Who the fuck is “we” here? Because the article is about CPU overlocking. I don’t give a fuck about the parent comments offhand comment about Intel. Intel is irrelevant here.

Your comment I replied to was about reviewer CPU benchmarks.

There is literally nothing in the article about memory speeds

It’s entirely about overlocking the CPU .

The only thing about memory is your offhand comment about Intel and XMP which is entirely irrelevant to the article.

Any good reviewer should already be doing a typical non-OC’d benchmark and an OC’d benchmark anyway.

The majority of people don’t overclock so would only care about the stock performance anyway. And overclockers should recognize that if you damage the chip by pushing it too far, it shouldn’t be covered.

He’s always been a shit head like this. He just got rich enough that he thought he could get away with showing his true colors.

The dude comes from a family of slave owners and was born with a silver spoon up his ass.

I love how the title is that they’re lowering raises after a bad quarter, but then say that they’re going back to their normal raise structure they have always had and that 2022 was a higher than normal raise year because they raised the minimum wage by 10% on top of higher raises due to higher inflation.

They didn’t lower the minimum raise retail employees can get, they just lowered the maximum raise they could.

The average person isn’t buying their phone outright either. They’re getting an upgrade from their cell carrier, and most of them do “free phone on us” as long as you stay under contract for 2 years.

T-Mobile for example (just who I’m with) will give you a $1000 credit towards a 15 pro if you trade in an “eligible device” over 24 months.

Relatively few people are just outright dropping $1000 on a phone.

You do know that Apple gives pretty damn solid trade ins right?

If you have a 14 pro and want to upgrade to a 15 pro, you get $570 for your 14 if it’s in good shape. So a 15 pro is only $429.

If you really enjoy having the latest and greatest, it’s not that hard to put away $35 a month towards upgrading.

Because cellphones were just emerging then. The technology was rapidly changing all the time

And when you look back, a ton of the innovations were trying to solve a part of the problem that modern smartphones have solved and then some.

When texting took off, companies tried to innovate better ways than T9 to do that. So you ended up with variations of full keyboards. Slide out, on the face, swivel, etc.

Flip phones and other slide outs tried to maximize screen space before touchscreens were around or good. When the screen is only useable as a screen you have to get creative to still have a keyboard.

When cameras first got out into phones they sucked. So companies put a ton of effort into innovating that. Hell cameras are still one of the main focuses on innovation. It’s just that there are diminishing returns with what you can package in a phone. So it takes a lot more work to get a small improvement.

Beyond that, most of the innovation is under the hood and less noticeable. Improving the chip architecture to be more powerful and more efficient. On device encryption for security. Lidar scanning for 3d modeling. Better integration with the ecosystems.

Beyond those you still have innovations like the foldable, which right now still kinda suck. Just like phones did when they started trying to innovate. Foldables will lead to crazier innovation down the line with the added space. Right now they’re still just trying to get the folding screen decent.

Once a technology matures, you stop seeing massive jumps and innovation becomes evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Another 10-15 years and you may see phones slow down to laptop pace, where a new model is only released every few years and then the jump between generations is bigger by comparison because you’ll have three years of work into it rather than one.
