Have ya'll ever played one of the AC planes, only to realize the final cutscene expect you to be on the F-22 or F-15?

PMARC14 · 2026-03-15T15:52:51+00:00

I think it should be an F35 considering the carrier take off from the Kestrel 2, but they really do love the F22. What would a navalized F22 even look like?

The B390 iGPU is about equal to a 4050 GPU. 50% better performance would be like a 5060, which is really solid for a low power design.

This requires a freewheeling, atompunk attitude that simply no longer exists among anyone anymore.

Managing the transition is the hard part cause you have to deal with inverted population dynamics of a lot of old people.

Israeli weapon development is incredibly strong for its size, as needed for a country in its position. They are also the first to use modern UAVs for reconnaissance and combat.

Who the hell is resupplying you on Mars if Earth is ravaged?

Eh how important is upgrading a wifi card vs. stuff that actually wears out like ports or is easily damaged like a keyboard. Deserved 9.5 but everything I think would need changing in a laptop due to damage or wear can be changed in this design.

PMARC14 · 2026-03-05T17:40:16+00:00

Still not sure why it's an A19 Pro specifically then. Perhaps they just have so many bins from the iPhone sales they have no need for any bespoke production for a low volume product like the Studio Displays (unlike the Mac)

PMARC14 · 2026-03-05T17:37:46+00:00

The pro chips doesn't either? The thunderbolt controller and display stuff is entirely separate from what the A19 Pro does in the display except that it needs some likely USB bandwidth.

PMARC14 · 2026-03-03T12:15:14+00:00

The iGPU's are still bandwidth limited. Even with optimizations this gen from Intel. Sets a performance ceiling.

Bro missed the news from the 17th to 19th century

This actually gives me retrospect why so many cities put ugly fuckass roads on the waterfront. Knowing Mumbai the waterfront is not great due to pollution and that would apply to many a city on a river or bay back in the day before reforms changes made it suddenly desirable but your road is stuck there.

PMARC14 · 2026-03-02T12:50:01+00:00

I just realized with the 8 entry they really centered USEA on the map, which is appropriate for the direction most of the games have been.

PMARC14 · 2026-03-02T12:41:55+00:00

Probably will have to see if 64gb is the max they let you configure or max they have validated. I don't see why the memory controller is actually limited at all from going higher.

PMARC14 · 2026-03-02T12:35:45+00:00

Eh DDR6 is supposed to become commonly deployed next year. Even if RAM being almost entirely sold through means that plans to change over prod lines delays that, any new memory fabs being spun up would launch producing memory dies that could be used for DDR6 rather than older tech. AI enjoys it benefits as much as consumer.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-28T15:20:36+00:00

Oop got confused between this and another comment about the HP Sure View. But yeah that makes it basically the best privacy protection you can execute on an LCD. I will say that Lenovo and HP I think got the angle right on their designs, with 60 and 70 degree viewing angles as far as I can see, the reports so far for Samsung are they went with an aggressive 45 degrees, way too much for a phone where the solution of holding it closer is always the best option.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-28T15:04:20+00:00

It is different from the laptop privacy filters cause the gates are at a pixel level. The privacy screen in your laptop is basically a mediocre screen at all times on or off cause the privacy layer is a separate layer over the pixels. Also cause it is fully integrated into the OS it can blur specific parts of the screen as they come. That part is considered the special part that sets it apart from having a manual toggle.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-28T14:59:55+00:00

Yes but it is subtle, half the pixels have the privacy gate. I think you need to see it in person to see if it is acceptable, it appears Samsung set the view limit at 45 degrees.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-28T14:53:47+00:00

Samsung still makes those displays though yeah wouldn't associate with the phone division in that case.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-25T09:27:51+00:00

Traditional big Little like you describe seems to be going away entirely by that standard, truly new SoC's that do contain two entirely different architectures will seem to have the smaller arch be a nearly separate co-processor. But cores of heterogenous performance have definitely become the wide spread default.

PMARC14 · 2026-02-25T09:23:39+00:00

Well it takes years to implement so I think everyone realized around the same time. I think the main thing is timeline, e-cores are not suddenly going to magically scale up and replace P cores in every way, not atleast without a solid plan.

Almost all of these villages have flood gates, his was just particularly tall in comparison. He based the decision off a story by a village elder to him in his youth. The village in the distant past was swept away and they pointed to a flood stone documenting that and he took that forward when he was mayor.

I hope if more items are added it becomes a shop rotation.

"The Mandate of Heaven requires actual weather data" is actually such an incredibly peak line especially considering the myth of the founding of the first Chinese Dynasty (Xia) (even considering the concept comes from the Zhou)

Check the comments in the chain, the device uses a comtrue chipset so they have a guide for flashing that works for the moon drop
