So are you not bisexual?

Unlike what some people may have told you children aren't allowed surgery, and are rarely allowed hrt. Sometimes they get puberty blockers, which is somewhat controversial, but is also used in cis children with precocious puberty. It's been demonstrated that even small children have formed a gender identity (can't remember the exact age but it's around 5 or 6 years old), and that this doesn't really change. It is possible for someone to not know their gender identity, though I think this is more common with non-binary people and those who aren't taught about gender identity.

A hormone in the human body that's typically present in higher concentrations in females than males. Often given as HRT to trans women and post-menopausal women.

It's not just google who have AI stuff built into their phones. All recent SoCs I have seen have had NPUs going back the last couple generations. A lot of older or cheap phones won't have one, but the new devices will.

I don't see the problem with using the phones normal GPU. This shouldn't be more insecure than making a call currently is. I am pretty sure android phones don't have a secure enclave just for making calls as you can give different apps access to calling features, and most calls I make are through third party apps anyway, not via POTS. That being said android is pretty secure anyway provided you don't give permissions to the wrong app. It's more secure than your average Linux system, as each app has its own user and is only allowed to access things it has explicit permissions to access. Secure enclaves aren't all that in my opinion.

And let's not forget that if the phone can listen to your conversation to detect malicious intent, any country can legally compel Google to provide them with the data by claiming it is part of a law-enforcement investigation.

The point of doing it locally is the audio never gets sent to google directly. That being said they could definitely do some dodgy things by training the ML model to search for words like abortion, drugs, transgender, etc depending on what the laws are in the country the phone is being used in.

Or the thing has already been done.

The issue I think I have with a lot of this stuff is that's it's been written well over 100 years ago. The language is hard to understand, and these authors rarely get straight to the point. It's hard enough to get my head around modern political texts, never mind the old ones. This isn't just a criticism of Krapotkin, Marx is even worse in this regard. I still don't really understand half of what the communist manifesto is talking about if it's even relevant anymore. Old texts don't always deal with issues like climate change or overpopulation. It's easy enough to say we can feed people now, even with the overpopulation, but once climate change kicks in hard it's another issue.

I would also worry about counter-revolution and why anarcho-communist revolutions haven't stuck to the extent other revolutions have. There are lots of nations that have tried marxism, few seem to have had anarchism for a similar length of time.

That's what you got from it? To me it was hard to understand what they were getting at. Not even sure I finished it.

AA relies on religion and finding god to treat a medical problem like addiction. I don't think it's the best example my dude.

What kind of thing do you even mean by a sketch party? Like a party where people do drugs or something? Been to plenty of those, they aren't inherently unsafe. Why wouldn't someone be able to call themselves a taxi? Not everyone can even drive in the first place. I certainly can't.

No

Someone confusing load-store with RISC again.

If they put themselves in that situation you have no obligation to help them. Not saying it isn't a good thing to do, but the idea it's an obligation to save someone from the consequences of their own decisions is whack. You're only obligation here is to make sure you don't create situations that are dangerous. If everyone followed that rule there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

You said something that comes across as condescending and as concern trolling. That's why you got downvoted to hell.

It took me that long to figure out that you were actually being sincere and that you apparently didn't get the above statement that not all women are safe. Though your understanding of what therapy is useful for definitely needs some work. You don't go to therapy for being scared of something that's legitimately dangerous. You're supposed to be scared.

It's not just about Retina displays. High res and HDR isn't uncommon anymore. Pretty much all new TVs anybody would want to buy will be 4K. It has to support the Apple 5K display anyway because that's one of their products.

As we've discussed two external displays are supported on the new macbook base models. It was a bit of an oversight on the original sure, but that's been fixed now.

Also the same SoCs is used in iPads. It's not mac only. I can't imagine wanting three displays on an ipad.

The external issue here isn't a personal one though. It's that women can be dangerous just like men are dangerous though typically in different ways. Not enough people acknowledge this.

Sigh. It's not just a fricking driver. It's an entire framebuffer you plug into a USB or Thunderbolt port. That's why they are more expensive, and why they even need a driver.

A 1080p monitor has one quarter of the pixels of a 4K monitor. The necessary bandwidth increases with the pixels required. Apple chooses instead to use the bandwidth they have to support 2 5K and 6K monitors, instead of supporting say 8 or 10 1080p monitors. That's a design decision that they probably thought made sense for the product they wanted to produce. Honestly I agree with them for the most part. Most people don't run 8 monitors, very few have even 3, and those that do can just buy the higher end model or get an adapter like you did. If you are the kind of person to use 3 monitors you probably also want the extra performance.

Yeah people don't get that they are trading output quantity for output quality. You can't have both at the same time on lower end hardware. Maybe you could support both separately, but that's going to be more complex. Higher end hardware? Sure do whatever.

Well yeah, no shit Sherlock. They could have done that in the first generation. It takes four 1080p monitors to equal the resolution of one 4K monitor. Apple though doesn't have a good enough reason to support many low res monitors. That's not their typical consumer base, who mostly use retina displays or other high res displays. Apple only sells high res displays. The display in the actual laptops is way above 1080p. In other words they chose quality over quantity as a design decision.

Not really. There is a compromise between output resolution, refresh rate, bit depth (think HDR), number of displays, and the overall system performance. Another computer might technically have more monitor output, but they probably sacrificed something to get there like resolution, HDR, power consumption or cost. Apple is doing 5K output with HDR on their lowest end chips. Think about that for a minute.

A lot of people like to blame AMD for high ideal power usage when they are running multi-monitor setups with different refresh rates and resolutions. Likewise I have seen Intel systems struggle to run a single 4K monitor because they were in single channel mode. Apple probably wanted to avoid those issues on their lower end chips which have much less bandwidth to play with.

Not necessarily. The base machines aren't that expensive, and this chip is also used in iPads. They support high resolution HDR output. The higher the number of monitors, resolution, bit depth, and refresh rate the more bandwidth is required for display output and the more complex and expensive the framebuffers are. Another system might support 3 or 4 monitors, but not support 5K output like the MacBooks do. I've seen Intel systems that struggled to even do a single 4K 60 FPS until I added another ram stick to make it dual channel. Apple do 5K output. Like sure they might technically support more monitors in theory, but in practice you will run into limitations if those monitors require too much bandwidth.

Oh yeah and these systems also need to share bandwidth between the framebuffers, CPU, and GPU. It's no wonder they didn't put 3 or more very high resolution buffers into the lower end chips which have less bandwidth than the higher end ones. Even if it did work the performance impacts probably aren't worth it for a small number of users.
