MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Officially Unveiled: CPU and GPU Power Redefine Efficiency • innoGyan

  • I might be behind on the Tech News, but did Qualcomm really win the license dispute with ARM that quickly? Over the Nuvia/Oryon IP?

    • MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Officially Unveiled: CPU and GPU Power Redefine Efficiency • innoGyan

  • I wish I had a source but AFAIK it was planned, but MediaTek might be reconsidering, since Qualcomm's X Elites haven't exactly sold very well. Adoption is too slow.

    I wish they put out Mini ITX boards or NUCs. I'd love to mess around with these SoCs in Linux.

    • EmulationStation: Is it possible to validate BIOS prior to playing a game?

  • There probably isn't an automated solution for this, but you could just get the SHA checksum of your BIOS dumps and compare them to others' checksums on the internet.

    As for how, well, you can use the shasum command in the terminal on linux. for windows, powershell has get-filehash. and 7zip for windows has a checksumming function as well.

    • Android 15 finally implements true variable refresh rate support, but there's a catch

  • Android Authority 's TL;DR (conveniently) doesn't mention the actual downside to this update. But it's fine imo, since this was actually a pretty insightful read.

    My TL;DR:

    • Google's ARR/VRR implementation is hopefully more compatible with the GKI system vs. current per-vendor, per-device implementations
    • To add this support, vendors must implement v3 of the Hardware Composer and Hardware Abstraction Layer APIs.
    • That means also undoing existing kernel changes for their devices and retooling it to support HWC & HAL v3. Lots of engineering time.
    • This solution still isnt perfect. There's a notable limitation in something called the "panel's Tearing Effect", but im not an expert at displays so CTRL+F it for the paragraph in question.

    • Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279

  • The type of person to rock Calibre would probably have airplane mode on constantly. Mine's been that way and I still have epubs sideloaded on my Kindle from when I first got mine all those years ago.

    • AMD delays its Ryzen 9000 launch due to unspecified quality issue — new launch in August; chipmaker pulls back all units shipped globally for quality checks

  • It's not confirmed. Its just pessimism, albeit very well argued and precedented.

    • Why don’t you like Apple?

  • Everything except the Mac line has a locked boot process. So your iPhone or iPad must run the latest iOS, must have an Apple ID, must source apps from Apple, and Apple has gotten so good at securing their devices that its basically killed hobbyist jailbreaking.

    Anything you do on these multi thousand dollar devices is only because Apple allows you to— reluctantly, I might add.

    • Japanese newspaper Gigazine goes over the slow decline of technological freedom up to today.

  • I didn't take my time to read this with my full attention, I'll be the first to admit; But I think this article is being way too dramatic and paranoid. And thats coming from somebody certifiably overdramatic and paranoid.

    EDIT: to add, it does have some reference to past and current events in the technology space but it quickly devolves into baseless, referenceless speculation.

    Also, is this just a "stole this topic from xyz social media" article but from Hacker News instead of Reddit?
