I wouldn't recommend aeon, a beta Linux distro that doesn't work for Nvidia GPUs at the moment as someone looking for something stable. Silver Blue is great though

Not based, but reasonable. Discord didn't want to comply to data requests

Recall is malware, at least according to Malwarebytes!

Malware, or “malicious software,” is an umbrella term that refers to any malicious program or code that is harmful to systems.

The companies will do anything to make having the ai capacities built locally an acceptable thing via "cool" features like this or apples, and I think it is because once the devices can do the processing locally, it allows them to stop processing it themselves on their servers. This will also allow them to use microphone and why not camera data as additional data points without having to send and process the actual microphone data. The only local software is open source AI implementations that are being used by FOSS applications, with no network access.

To me this isn't about shareholder value and buzzwords, this is just the excuse to shove it into the OS. It's a more long term game they are playing: the one of reducing their costs and improving the value/accuracy of the data that they get, since it will be pre-digested 100% locally in the background, which is not limited by network latency and bandwidth.

It does it both enabled and disabled if I remember correctly

Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the drop down menus in the steam UI being nearly unusable on Linux? I've seen some people complain about this issue but not sure if they acknowledge it

Hundreds of thousands of users??

This is mostly down to the drivers, and I am sure they will be much improved in the next few months, their driver is still very young and hopefully has lots of room for further improvement

The cpus I'm talking about have released about a month ago, but until very recently AMD were the only good options for handhelds

PRONOUN!!!!!!!!

So they will have the same judgement for apple right?? And not the same bullshit excuse that since it's even more locked down it's okay for them to do it?

Il talking more in terms of performance and power consumption, I would never go back to a Samsung fabbed chip on a mobile device, unless they can prove they match TSMC But yes more competition is always welcome. Unfortunately the only real option right now is realtek but they are very closed chips with close to no custom ROM support

Fair point, it should get better for the pixel 10 though because iirc they will be switching to TSMC from Samsung foundry

Intel have shown signs of catching up by putting out a better iGPU than AMD's latest and greatest for laptop chips in certain games and most compute tasks. They've also put out one of the best laptop chips last month, they consume next to nothing while still having decent performance but go on I guess

Let's hope Asahi linux becomes usable enough as a daily driver before the M series laptops stop getting updates

Fear mongering articles making it seem like they are doomed and will go bankrupt after bad quarterly results were announced. Articles were probably sponsored by rich people wanting to buy Intel stock for cheap. But they won't go bankrupt because the US gov./army need Intel to stay relevant against China, and Intel is basically the only American company that both designs and fabs their own processors and that is still relevant.

That and the fact that Nvidia is over valued (they are valued at 30x the value of their assets).

Not really anymore. They make them expensive to repair, but they also don't want you to switch to another brand, because for them a user in the ecosystem purchasing apps and subscriptions is worth way more than a frustrated user purchasing a one time display replacement. Their whole strategy now (for a few years really) is to make devices that last at minimum 5 years, because it makes the user happy that their 5yo phone still works, and that means they are likely to get another iPhone, and because as long as the user is in the ecosystem, they are making money by taking their cut of everything that happens on the device

Any year that Samsung struggles with Exynos is good year for consumers

Which means they're in a bubble because Nvidia's total assets (85B$) value is less than half of Intel's (205B$). I refuse to believe that the "potential for growth" of Nvidia is worth anywhere close to 120B$ in actual value even in the next 5 years. I see only two things here: either Intel is undervalued, or Nvidia is overvalued. I think it's both. When that bubble bursts it's going to hit very hard for a lot of people because it's the same thing as the other big tech companies (apple google meta etc) are all valued based on predictions and magic when the companies that have an actual intrinsic value are worth less

To 99% of people, battery life matters much more than it being 8% faster compared to last year's model. Though it can be argued that the pixel's efficiency sucks and that it affects the battery life significantly. For example on my phone I would gladly use the low power mode that reduces the cpu perf to about 70%, except it also forces the display to go to 60hz
