  • I will just say it uses an ARM A5 which was introduced in 2011. It is 32bit processor which could be problematic as most linux distros are moving or have moved to 64-bit. And most importantly only has USB2.0 ports.

  • Neither does the blob it downloaded. Would you think twice about AVX10 support if it was commented as AVX10 support in a compression library? Some might, but would they be the ones reviewing the code? A lot of programs that can take advantage of "handwritten" optimizations, like video decoders/encoders and compression, have assembly pathways so it will take advantage of the hardware when it is available but run when it isn't. If the reviewers are not familiar with assembly enough something could be snuck in.

    systemD is using dlopens for libraries now and I am not convinced malware couldn't modify the core executable memory and stay resident even after the dl is unloaded. Difficult, yes, but not impossible.

  • 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.

  • I am interested in this as well. I currently have an iPad Pro and while I won't be upgrading right now, I have been looking in the space for the future. I'd prefer something more powerful than and M1/M2 iPad to even consider switching. I haven't seen much in the tablet space that is not Apple orAndroid, but while being performant. I saw that Minisforum has announced the V3, but it isn't out yet. Has an AMD 8840u, 14" 165hz display. Looks promising, but I'd be worried about battery life.

  • I just want to add, the Nvidia 4090 mobile gpu is the 4080 desktop chip, but at lower clocks and therefor better power efficiency. However it has much lower performance in comparison to a desktop 4090 and lower than the desktop 4080 as well.

  • Agreed. You go to a small town and everyone knows your business. Big cities end of up terrible commuting experiences as everything needs a vehicle. Yeah, you get often public transportion, but spend most of the day trying to get anything done as everything gets spread out.

    Mid size usually has everything reasonably nearby, public transport and cycling is generally safer/practical.

  • In an ideal world that would be true, but if we were in an ideal world we wouldn't need the security there in the first place. You can do a lot of damage to someone with just your body and there are a lot of people that are violent out in society.

  • This doesn’t just apply to him. Plenty of legislators are expose to threats from both sides of the isle. And it isn’t like they are going to get 24h coverage from this. This is walking around an airport for a couple hours.

  • Most of the handheld benchmarks have been 3% or 4% higher compared to the Steamdeck at 15 watts, which often is a 1 to 4 FPS difference. This would explain why Valve isn't in a hurry for a Steamdeck 2. If you plan of playing on battery, then that is what you'll probably running around that if you plan on playing a while. The main advantage of these newer chips is when used plugged in.
