Only if they’re good games that people are still interested in playing. Crappy games slash prices all the time. Exhibit A: Suicide Squad

The article is from 2022. I’m guessing if it was written today, it would be about bluesky.

For those of us that are out of the loop.

It’s high school level drama. Competent adults will work it out.

TSMC has been raising prices on their high-demand nodes but there are rumours of them finally cutting prices on their 6 and 7nm nodes which should reduce the manufacturing costs of the current-gen consoles. Whether it happens in time to make a difference this life cycle remains to be seen.

Welcome to the rabbit hole of selfhosted note-taking apps. https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Note-Taking

Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit of a journey. You’ll probably end up going through a few of these options until you find one that works for you and fits your workflow.

I think we can agree that most people will never need anything more than a midrange processor for average use and only overbuy due to marketing.

Speaking only for myself, I’ve become accustomed to the snappiness of higher end processors and high refresh screens. All the screens I use on a daily basis are 120hz+ and even though I don’t game on my phone, the benefits of having a high refresh rate screen has become a nice quality of life feature for me. I still have a 60hz phone that I test as a degoogled phone and the difference is quite noticeable.

A high-end processor helps drive apps at those higher refresh rates and also just as important, it can brute-force some of the less-than-well optimized open source apps I rely on to interact with my self-hosted infrastructure.

I can live with a lower-end phone but I’m willing to pay a bit more for features and performance that meet my standards.

If they stick with a Samsung manufactured 750G, it’ll be limited to the low end market. There’s nothing wrong with that but it’s not really an option for the western mid to high end market.

I don’t have any complaints with the 6 either other than the fingerprint reader being a downgrade compared to older models. I don’t plan to upgrade until the 10/10a with a TSMC tensor and hopefully major improvements in performance and efficiency. Would be nice to have more choices without sacrificing this admittedly obscure principle.

I feel like I’m limited to pixel phones since they’re the only widely available phone that doesn’t void the warranty for unlocking the bootloader. I haven’t tried roms in a few years but I like having that choice. Fairphones can be a little hard to get. Are there other options? Lineage support would be ideal.

Hard to go wrong with the Asrock Taichi that Wendell from Level1Techs is also a fan of. Looks like memory will be your limiting factor and with VMs being part of the equation, 128gb seems like a good idea.

I am curious how well adobe software can use a dgpu in a vm. I understand things have gotten much better for gaming and maybe that’ll translate into other gpu intensive tasks.

This post seems confusing without additional details. Maybe you can expand on what are the tasks that will make use of that kind of processing power. What are your performance priorities?

Based on your current description, I don’t see anything that will stress even a 10 year old CPU.

Also, what uses would you have for an egpu other than basic hardware acceleration? Gaming, A.I, etc…

If you just want to cover your bases, almost any high end x670 board will do the job.

We literally have wireshark and similar utilities available to all of us to inspect every packet of data coming in to and leaving our phones. You can install pcapdroid right now to see exactly what facebook is doing and where that data is going. This is not complicated stuff.

Now imagine the payday and notoriety that’ll go to the security research firm that is doing this kind of work on a regular basis and is able to definitively prove it’s happening. Why do you think that hasn’t happened yet?

Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.

The math on anyone always listening to everyone’s phones doesn’t add up and will not any time in the near future.

Thanks for responding. This is why open source is great. You can use telegram or ntfy or gotify (in my case) to do the same thing and choose whatever works best for you.

As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?

Thanks, I watched it but I must’ve missed that part. If it does turn out that the 900mhz boost to the compute fabric is at fault, Wendell seems to be implying it might not be possible to solve with a microcode update. I hope that’s not the case but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

What I’m really waiting for someone to figure out is what makes the 13th/14th gen 7/9 series processors more prone to these failures compared to the 1/4/6 series and why the 12th gen chips remain unaffected given the minor architecture changes.

Commenter says it’s a fork of antennapod like podcini is. I’ve tried podcini but wasn’t fond of the interface changes and went back to antennapod. Wish the github page would list what makes focus different from antennapod.

Discussion starts at 9:10 after some technical issues.

Edit: Looks like what I have is the unedited version of the link you followed up with.

I have the video but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. Anything I should look out for?
