I mean I don't trust Google as far as I can throw a TPU datacenter, but they are promising 7 years of OS updates on Pixel. And so are companies like Samsung. Many others offer 3, and even the low-rent "we have your money... I mean

Agreed. That was just the latest related article I saw. I was bring it up to support my claim of "high framerate support is still new/developing in Gnome"... embarrassingly my old man brain compressed time... it's been 6

Great work, I hope the gnome/wayland devs appreciate it. I wonder if there is an issue with high frame rate support in Gnome (or possibly wayland?). It seems like they are actively still working on it: https://9to5linux.com&

My response assumes that you are talking about the "frame warping" feature of Reflex 2 (saying DLSS 4 was misquoting Nvidia's PR jumble) not simply frame-gen/MFG or upscaling. MFG, while producing even more interpolated

It's not a publicly traded company and hence Musk + his backers can do whatever they want. It's their toy and I'm not in the business of policing anything (within the law) they do with it. It would be irksome if Musk went o

I 100% agree about the a series! I think they are wonderful budget phones. Basically the only phone I recommend to folks looking for a budget (~300-ish) phone is " just buy the last gen pixel a". But I'm am effete MFer and wa

I really really really want to love GrapheneOS, but the Pixels are just not very competitive devices. What make a Pixel standout is google smarts. Without all that stuff, you have a generations behind slow processor, a meh set of camera sen

That is the kind of results I would expect! Plus V8 (if that is still the JS engine in chrome) has always been faster. And android is probably the priority target for chrome at this point. But on the occasional times I launch it (chrome), i

I am always in bizarro world when I read comments like this. I swear I perceive firefox for android to feel snappier and smoother than chrome. To be clear, I am not trying to claim you are wrong! It is the common wisdom that chrome is faste

Impossible to be sure without logs, but the issue they are describing appears to be a problem with "modern standby" S0 vs good old-fashioned S3. Just guessing, some device is not correctly entering a deep sleep state (like an ssd

I found it useful. I just put an asterisk on the number and moved on. Even without the exact number, I was reminded that 5 million in 1999 value for a company who's crown jewel was what, the riva tnt 2, means a serious amount of the co

The Gamers Nexus video on the 9800X3D said that previously, X3D SKUs were kinda skunkworks things that happened after die development. And that they have wanted to do this since 2019. Zen 5 is just the first time they had a chance to implem

I'm probably saying stuff you've already guessed, but for completeness... It's less about the benchmark per se and more about having the WR on a benchmark. While doing bunch of lower clocked runs, they considered what they mi

I just want to echo this! They built a gosh darned city... oh wait, I was wrong, they built three. It was run like an extremely high-value military project, which is exactly what it was. Sure it was more theoretical than other military proj

I'm not sure what the performance/persistence implications of this (FRAM) actually are... But to your point, simply copying the processor state to a known location in FRAM (0xFFFFFFF0) and having the start routine read state from

Asking this as an open ended (if leading) question: I assume enough people are doing it otherwise PS5 Pro makes no sense... Right? They (AMD/Sony) shoehorned the RDNA 3/3.5 GPU architecture onto an older Zen 2 core, with a differe

I'm not trying to play contrarian, but I agree with your parent. If a neighbor wanted to install a camera pointed in the direction of my house and I could tell they were asking as a formality, I'd be nice about it. I'd be eve

I would like to have kids, so I understand your intention here... But no amount of hugs from your 4yo would replace the 3-week 3000/4000-mile 38-state(USA) road trip my close friends and I took traveling the state and national parks.

I'm working from memory here, but I believe early 90s Audi "quattro"s (like the 100) had the feature. That said, I think we are very much in "the exception that proves the rule" territory.
