Nice. I think now since like 2003 IE, is the most interested people may be in using something besides the current most popular option

CPU looks good but the interesting thing to me is the GPU

The GPU side could be more competitive. The chip reportedly integrates an Imagination Technologies IMG DXT72 GPU at 1.3GHz, which early estimates claim may outperform the Adreno 740 in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

Same family of GPU as reported for the upcoming Pixel 10. Performance of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 builds up my expectation of Imagination GPUs return to flagship phones is them as the budget option. I knew Google wouldn't actually use cost savings of vertical integration to compete in price for performance. I bet these Imagination GPUs end up with worse drivers than Mali since they've been so long out of the flagship phone game

Eventually I want to transition my minipc to a RISC-V chip. Maybe one that has a pci-e x16 slot so I don't have to pray that the GPU is well supported

I was wondering what they'd do with Altera. Never looked into how Xilinx has done with AMD

I'd take DA 1-3 over ME 1-3. DA2 should never have been shafted on dev time to rush something out because they didn't expect DAO to be so popular

I think 128GB should be the minimum. A lot reserved for the operating system and the rest for storage hungry applications. At least save local map data and some music

Vietnam is like a cultural a bridge between East Asia and continental southeast Asia. Long term they'll gain a lot from this US blunder. Even before Trump term 1, China, South Korea, and Japan had established a business presence in Vietnam

I've gone from almost certain a 9070xt and Switch 2 to probably nothing this year. Maybe not next year. Helps me stay disciplined I guess. I rarely play games that don't run a Steam Deck level hardware anyways

Always felt like this needed to happen for long time now. I guess now better than never. Got to figure out a business model. Reselling Mullvad as Firefox VPN was a start. I feel like everything that Proton does, Firefox should be doing but with a Linux file manager application

The vast majority of people have no idea how much turmoil there's been in federal backed research and development. Even stuff like wildland firefighter's getting workforce hit right before fire season is about to begin. Friends that did bioengineering (lab grown food and lab grown organ research) for private companies that have been laid off because of federal grants cuts/uncertainty

All good. DoD just put out a DRP 2.0 with talk being that there will be no exemptions made since this is straight from the SecDef this time. Already know people that took the first one with non-defense jobs lined up now getting 2 paychecks until the end of September. DRP 2.0 is going to be way bigger than the first one

I'm a bit torn, I got a Switch first month and loved Zelda but it did take a couple years for releases to really become frequent. Eventually got a Steam Deck and now I go third party on Steam and the Switch has been a Zelda machine. That being how my purchases have been, I may wait until a new Zelda before buying a Switch 2. Maybe not until a fully exclusive Switch 2 Pokemon. Right now hoping for the inevitable PC handheld that is as strong as a Deck but way lighter/smaller

Friends and Mario Kart+Mario Party will be the final determiner of when I guess

Insane to me with how much competition there is that are just as good along with all the free stuff available. It's not like early YouTube growing an insane amount of content before it started monetizing heavily. OpenAI is one of like a dozen, probably more, generative AI companies that are all close to each other in quality

More and more people just need to switch to Linux and grow the userbase so more and more proprietary software create Linux builds just like how Maya and Davinci Resolve are available for Linux. If your computer is a web browser, you should be on Linux. Firefox, Chrome, Edge are all on Linux

If you're a casual photo editor, Darktable. A casual photo editor can probably be well served with GIMP or Krita. If you're a web browser and digital painter Krita. If you edit videos, Davinci Resolve and Kdenlive. Office - OnlyOffice, Libre office, WPS Office

Downloading the app just because of this
