That comparison chart is not very accurate. The Core i7-1250U CPUMark score of 13453 is at 29W (TDP up), not 9W (TDP down), so the performance per watt ratio they're using is inaccurate. Also, if you look at the CPUMark score distribut

Porsche 944s and 928s are far more rust resistant than most American or Japanese cars of the 80s or even 90s. Likewise with Volvos. The classic 911 was an old design that went through iterative improvements, and the 964 is better rust-proof

No, it does not beat Time-of-Flight measurement. What it does achieve is keeping GATT response latency within normal ranges, so that the GATT response latency cannot be reliably used as an indication of relay attacks. GATT response latency

Devices don’t use GATT response latency to estimate distance, but elevated levels of GATT latency are commonly used as indications of relay attacks. A lower latency relay attack can work around this defence. The researcher recommends time-o

The issue is that the tests portray themselves as being accurate (in the sense of low false positive rates), and portray the result as “your baby has XYZ rare syndrome” instead of “your baby has a 15% change of having XYZ rare syndrome”. If

Why not just report odometer readings annually, and tax based on that? It would avoid the need for implementing so much surveillance to track every movement of every car.

With little endian, if you take a pointer to an integer of a large type (eg. uint64_t) where the value fits in a smaller type (eg. uint32_t), you will get same correct value accessing it as a uint64_t or uint32_t on a little endian system.

My point is that driving at 160 km/h on a fairly empty highway in a manner that is respectful of others is not particularly dangerous. In fact it’s pretty relaxed and routine in Germany for the middle lane of 3 lane derestricted autoba

Per-app VPNs have existed for some time, and their use case is different from system-wide VPNs. Typically, per-app VPNs are used when you want to grant specific applications access to resources on say a corporate VPN, without granting all a

Apple apps do bypass NEFilterDataProvider (used by application firewalls like Little Snitch), and the per-app VPN mechanism (using NEAppProxyProvider). Thus, per-app VPNs can't be applied to Apple applications, but per-app VPNs were ne

Researching the very most efficient parts from Intel and AMD today, 3x the perf/watt would be more accurate. Operating at a 5-6W TDP, the 2018 Apple A12X gets a multicore Geekbench score of 4730. Operating at a TDP of 15W, the i7-1065G

That's fair. However, according to the same chart, it draws 1W at 2000 MHz, which should give 80% the single core performance. This is how Apple is getting 4x the perf/watt of Intel and AMD competitors in Geekbench and similar wor
