Lots of people relate to stories about domesticity, and about being a housewife, but the actual process of becoming one fundamentally doesn't centre aspiring to be one. The work one puts into becoming a housewife isn't about worki

Extremely good point. Small forums self-govern as a community and generally just make money (or take donations) to keep the lights on. With big platforms, you are the product and they want you there so they can monetize you. Pursuant to tha

A lot of forums also have tyrannical mods, but the key difference is that a forum doesn't have the same unique authority that a subreddit with the best name for the topic has. If a forum has bad mods, other forums are on a bit more equ

Intel iGPUs since gen7, AMD iGPUs since Kaveri. Most laptops have one of these.

Why not? The vast majority of laptops sold today have iGPUs that support it. Both Intel and AMD docs even refer to it using the term "Unified Memory Architecture", and document use, including things like zero-copy. Is being availa

Whoever gets BBC BASIC running on this thing first wins. Funny they mention ARM though, the original beeb was made by Acorn.

Unified memory is pretty normal on non-desktop systems and has been for a while.

Even if they don't the notarization requirement is a strong first step to at minimum a games console-style licensing program, or further integration with the existing developer program. It would be nice for Apple to not do this, but if

This is something important that a lot of people miss when discussing unethical actions by corporations. It would be foolish from the perspective of Yelp or Google to not exploit the massive power differential here, so of course they will.

They should be able to. It would be easy. But it is faster and cheaper not to, and companies are not single omniscient monoliths. Each department has their own targets, quotas, and deadlines, and while I doubt anyone at the top of Apple sai

It's still in use for DRM though apparently, and so long as it still runs, and so long as we still can't audit it, it isn't trustworthy from a strict privacy perspective.

Certainly, I wasn't trying to suggest that, and was more just raising the point that they did once have a competitive embedded line, but sold it and then came back to the market down the road with a much weaker approach.

It's an ISA licence, so they're allowed to design their own processors that implement ARM, but they would have to design them themselves (which is why they haven't)

I'm not exactly sure what the point of VT-X would be in an emulated environment anyway, and it would be a waste to make Rosetta 2 that much more complicated for it.

They did also used to actually make ARM processors. Originally they acquired StrongARM from Digital, and then went on to replace the brand with their own XScale, and found some pretty good success in embedded systems and were at one point n

This is widely known and inherent to how hardware encoders work. They are limited by complexity and cannot be improved after they are manufactured, so most of the focus for them generally goes into real time applications. You can check out

That's not really true. Every modern Intel, AMD, and Nvidia GPU does actually include hardware to accelerate encoding video, it's just that software solutions end up being preferred in a lot of cases because they produce better ou
