> it won't have unified memory Why wouldn't you choose unified memory if it matters to you ? A central point of Windows/linux is to get the hardware you want.

The criteria can be pretty weird. For instance th Xiaomi Ultra 17's main camera is faulted for having shallow depth of field or "autofocus decision errors", which I assume just means the auto selected subject wasn't the

Parent isn't talking about shareholders or ownership, but full delegation of a process to a contracting company. Calling "shell company" makes it sound like the University is the shareholder, but that's usually not what&

This is the first time we get an iPhone skew that is significantly different and with no sales track record. For instance, very few company bothered to do anything for the Vision Pro. Now we'll see if Google or Microsoft for instance s

Couldn't these concerns be addressed through two potential angles ? - You make your AI do all that work, pay xxx tokens worth to get something running and you can use your old phone while taking full responsability for your vibe code.

Nothing wrong with your answer itself, but having to be Apple or Google is a PITA. These account are ultra critical already and you will want maximum security to access them. This means if you go on a trip somewhere you absolutely need two

A variant of that is alternative accounts that properly live on a different device/context. For instance YouTubers usually have a different account for their channel than the one they use privately, and don't want their channel ac

XReal is only replacing the screen part and needs another device as a core, this headset works standalone. As the form factor is already pretty bulky, keeping it as a single device helps a lot IMHO.

You're describing a bank, any bank. Without specific arguments on what Revolut consistently does that no other bank (e.g. HSBC, wells-fargo etc.) do, you're just yelling at money shaped clouds.

> You're paying with your data. Parent was pointing at the value exchange, and I argued that users' privacy is not the currency Google deals with. Your privacy can be valuable to you, it just has no weight on the exchange.

People have this fixation on privacy, when there's so much more going on, potentially way mor important. Google's strong position in AI gives them bragging right to attract more companies and get them to actually pay, subsidizing

You're looking at it from iOS side only, and for a US company that would be the last platform they'd ever drop. It was a different picture out of the Apple garden, when a company only brings their next major feature to iOS becaus

It's a claim in a marketing presentation though. Apple also touts ultra durable screens in their presentation and people still shatter them regularly.

Are the on screen controls fixed to the right ? The curved right side makes me think so, but it sound like a pain for people using their phone left hand dominantly.

I think it's due to the lack of proper ads at a price point worth it. For instance your local fishing shop won't win the ad auction for your eyeballs against Binance or Tinder, even if you have absolutely no interest in the latter

Being surprised or not, and being pissed about it or not are orthogonal. I'm also not surprised and do fault Google for it. We shouldn't give them a pass just because they're regular offenders, it should be the opposite IMHO.
