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.

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.

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.

Nope, not even acquainted.

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.

No they can’t, they never could, and it’s way way overdue for EU to finally wake up to the reality that all US owned cloud services are factually illegal for any European (EU) authority to use, from kindergartens to courts and everything in between.
It is also illegal for any private company operating in EU to hold any user/customer/personnel data on servers owned by American companies.

I’ve been saying this for more than 8 years now! Because this became apparent already under Obama, that the US government can demand, any data in any country held by any American company, to be handed over. Furthermore they can do this in secret under anti terror laws. And the companies affected are not allowed to mention anything to anybody, under regulation of steep penalties.

This was what Obama claimed was a balanced approach!
And the Republicans are worse!
And now it is very apparent that the checks and balances don’t even work. The current American administration will do whatever they want, and worry about legality later. And threaten any opposition with secrecy under national security and anti terror laws.
Keep way way away from any American form of server/digital service and especially cloud services.
And also keep away from American telemetry. Which all ought to be illegal in EU.

Normal one and zero transistors can hold their state for a while only needing refresh cycles at intervals.
Seems logical to me that it’s harder to hold values of greater variance, which is probably also why everything works with binary systems, and not a single vendor has chips that use bits with for instance 3 or 4 states.
What would be most obvious if this wasn’t a problem would be to make a decimal based computer. There’s a reason we don’t have that, except by using 4 bits wasting 6 values, which is very wasteful.

With Nvidia it has always seemed like with new upgrades older cards were made slower on purpose. AFAIK AMD never did that. So if you had a 3 year old AMD it would perform faster than when it was released, while a 3 year old Nvidia would be slower. Which is why AMD got the reputation of aging like fine wine.

All three components will be in production this time next year

OK we will see then how good they are.
Pretty awful pictures, hard to see if the monster in the center of the board is a single chip or chiplet design? But it looks like a single chip, so guaranteed to be insanely expensive to make.

Let’s hope AMD or others can really break into the compute market with some more competitive products.

After the latest Android update, When I turn on the torchlight on my phone, I get a notification with a text AND A blingeling sound.
I often use the torch when going to bed, and the audio notification is EXTREMELY annoying since I’m trying not to wake my wife.

For fucks sake, a notification for tuning on the torchlight? I would think it’s kind of obvious since first I pushed the button to turn it on, and for fucks sake it a TORCHLIGHT, how could I miss having turned it on?!?! That notification is insanely moronic, and I can’t find anywhere to disable it???
Stupid Android updates always fuck up something.

PS:
My phone is a Xiaomi 13T Pro.
If this is a Xiaomi thing, it could be reason enough for me not to buy Xiaomi again.

I have never heard anybody complain about Chinese immigration here (Denmark). AFAIK the Chinese are considered among the well adapting groups despite cultural differences.

For me I have a brother, and the family resemblance for both of us to our father is pretty obvious.
I also have never detected any inconsistencies in anything my parents have told me about when I and my brother were little.

Put a rainbow flag in the room where she sleeps. 😋
Maybe a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.

You suggest librera instead of librera???

Also linking a download link directly instead of the page that describes it is bad form.
