Amazon Glacier is tape-based, so anyone certainly can get access to tape for backup purposes.

I think a couple different grayscale values with different font styles could work fine for coding keywords/variables/comments, but I really would like to know the native refresh rate. Kindles have only gotten cheaper over time, so

I think people can get sucked into buying what they don't need, but buying a good body and a lens or two every few years can be worth it even if you're just an amateur trying out different types of photography.

Temporarily, but over the long term, TSMC would likely have to more than double their leading edge capacity, which would take a decade or two or more.

If they could just get even or ahead on EUV, which they skipped on 10nm, I think they will be just fine.

AMD would rather spend money on getting more capacity for the current 7nm products, that have seen a couple of years of severe shortages at launch, and gain market share. It's a problem that Apple doesn't seem to have, though mayb

Tech is probably as good a scapegoat as anyone in government is going to get right now, but I think a lot of the anti-trust issues have been building for a while now. The lack of regulation is painful to see. Amazon Prime Video not working

Unless Google doesn't allow play services to work in emulation, I don't why this would be a problem. Users can choose if they want Android compatibility or not.

The itch.io Linux client will use your existing install of Wine to launch Windows games. If GOG ever ported Galaxy to Linux, they could do the same thing. Just have the user install Wine from the distro repos.

It might just be the combination of better branch prediction, TSMC 5nm, 8-channel memory, 16k pages, along with 8-wide cores+larger structures especially cache are enough to account for the more perf/watt of the M1.

Human Resource Machine and 7 Billion Humans are also pretty good computer programming puzzle games that are pretty funny and fun to play. HRM is basically solving problems using single threaded assembly. 7BH is solving problems using more m

I think PoS is much more likely to get wider adoption than PoW with the rest of the Ethereum ecosystem, FWIW. Glad Ethereum is making the switch.

I'd like to see this explored more. I think AMD/Intel might be historically looking at C++/compiled workloads more than JS/Java/python interpreted workloads. JITs very well could take better advantage of wider cores

Superscalar vs super-pipelining isn't new. If there's no magic, then a third wider would likely exactly decrease the boost clock by a third with perfect code. With SMT off, I get 25-50% more performance on single threaded benchmar

Like I said, this is absolutely a die-size tradeoff IMO. That 75% IPC gain is only around a ~20% difference in geekbench and at similar sustained power levels. If you want AVX2/512+SMT, a slightly narrower core of realistically 6+ wide

Nope. Anandtech measured 27W peak on M1 CPU workloads with the average closer to 20W+[1]. The Ryzen 4800U and i7-1165G7 also have comparable GPUs (and TPU+ISP for the i7) within the same ~15-25W TDP. The Intel i7-1165G7 average TDP might be

by ece 6y ago
The i7-1165G7 is within 20% on single core performance of the M1. The Ryzen 4800U is within 20% on multi-core performance. Both are sustained ~25W parts similar to the M1. If you turned x64 SMT/AVX2 off, normalized for cores (Intel&#x2

The User/Developer distinction is completely arbitrary. Any user can download Xcode/Android Studio and develop for their device which has the same libraries installed as an SDK including analytics/debugging/ads and such.

The OS and APIs are part of the device users paid for. DRM for piracy protection can be had by any developer on any platform now a days, just look at Netflix. A person in charge of the Apple App Store told the US Congress it takes ~$100 mil

Steam doesn't force a payment provider for in-app purchases unless a user chooses to pay out of the Steam wallet and a developer has added support for it. Quite a few F2P games on Steam collect credit cards unlike what Apple/Googl

There's no Jailbreak needed for installing apps and alternate app stores. Just a permission change to install F-Droid, Amazon App Store or something else. Another permission change in developer settings lets you unlock the boot loader

I don't think I would go that far. It's easy enough to restrict spell-correct to dictionary words. When I search for a specific part number, I tend to get a similar more popular part where spell-correct makes zero sense to have an

Hmm... glad to see quite a lot of FOSS software projects here. Maybe KDE/GNOME should join as well.

I've found myself fighting the spell-correct search more often too, worse, it's easily handled by giving me the results I searched for and then including other optional links or results. There's just no excuse when what I&#x2

memtest exactly tests for different access patterns including attacks like Rowhammer. I also use Gentoo with background tasks like mprime/foldingathome (they can catch memory errors too), and any gcc/llvm errors would've been
