They've been fine on the battery front for a while, the explodey Galaxy Note was a decade ago. They're understandably quite conservative about charging speeds and adopting new battery technologies now. Edit: or maybe not, see the

To be fair this years Pro models are thicker than last years, and most of that extra space went to a bigger battery. Maybe not as big as you'd like, but it's something.

LLMs aren't doing journalism on their own, whatever mistakes they make are compounded on top of any mistakes that the actual sources (such as the BBC) might have made.

Rumour is that Samsungs similar Galaxy Edge isn't doing any better, apparently they initially wanted to replace their longstanding Plus model with the Edge next year, then they decided to keep the Plus after all, and now they've p

Yeah but that requires time and effort. If they couldn't be bothered to launch on Windows and Linux when Chromium already has solid support for both, bringing up an immature browser engine was never going to happen.

I assume they mean a web browser has root access to everything you do online, which is so far-reaching nowadays that it's not far from having root over your whole machine in terms of actual exposure.

I mean your M3 Max has a 3-5x bigger GPU than OPs base M3, you'd certainly hope it could rip through those new shaders.

It's also the endgame for romhacking, once a game is fully decompiled modders can go far beyond what was feasible through prodding the original binary. That can mean much more complicated gameplay mods, but also porting the engine to r

Unless the artifacts were stolen-to-order for a client who wants them as-is. It happens, paintings get stolen and it's not like those can be melted down.

Maybe they laser-trim the embedded crystal in situ after the chip has been fully packaged? It might be more difficult to keep it in spec if they trim it earlier and then pass it through more manufacturing steps afterwards.

Interesting idea, but the generic green PCB is a bit of a missed opportunity. Some manufacturers now offer transparent solder masks which emphasize the copper traces and can look really cool with a clean PCB layout. e.g. https://

Yeah. The Steam survey isn't a perfect sample since it's skewed towards gamers, but that currently shows just 0.08% of Windows users are on ARM, while 81.5% of Mac users are on ARM.

That's more of an issue with your system than an issue with Zed, you have to veer pretty far from the beaten path to not have proper DirectX nowadays. Are you running Windows in a VM?

That "after" image is still rendered with greyscale AA rather than subpixel, but whatever they changed did make it more legible at least.

Have they implemented subpixel font rendering by now? I remember that being a sticking point when it came to Linux because they had designed their custom UI renderer around the Macs ubiquitous HiDPI displays, leading to blurry fonts for the

I suspect Ofcom knows that 4chan isn't going to comply, they're just going through the motions before deploying the nuclear option of ordering ISPs to block it.
