But bear in mind that Geekbench runs very short benchmarks for single core especially, so that the CPU never starts thermal throttling.
The Apple chips are fast and efficient, and "feel" even faster because of the their single core burst performance and on chip very fast RAM.
Investing in Apple and Borland were an counter-anti-trust legal move, keeping the competitors alive, but on life support. This way they could say to the government "yes there is competition".
Google does the same these days by keeping Firefox alive.
Is it that hard to do, or is the software lock-in so great?
How much of it is to be blamed on AI, and how much on a culture of making users test their products, I do not know.
Are their any measures that audit their finances or stop them or their relations from taking work with companies they have issued judgements on?
I'm not saying this is the case here, it is a general question.
AMD is somewhat worse than Intel as their DDR5 memory bus is very "twitchy" making it hard to get the highest DDR5 timings, especially with multiple DIMMs per channel.
If it can, then the hardware is to blame.
Copilot is accessing the indexed contents of the file, not the file itself, when you tell it not to access the file.
The blog writer/marketer needs to look at the index access logs.
Many of the studies he refers to are old. There was a widely held belief in the early 1980's promoted by Linus Pauling that Vit C cured cancer.
What I find curious is how, as the market expanded, all these other Vendors died.
One would expect the opposite - a bigger market means more diversity. An odd thing I still don't understand.
The old approach of keyfob to unlock the car and a real key for the ignition is safer.
Having multiple levels of security is good.
However, having worked in the car security industry many years ago, I discovered that car manufacturers actually like it when their customer's cars are stolen - Insurance payouts often result in another sale.
Pi's were great when they were cheap, but now the Raspberry Pi has IPO'd those days are over.
Requiring an online ID to log into a local computer creates all sorts of vulnerabilities. When Microsoft gets hacked again, it can let hackers lock you out of your computer. It's basically ransomware-in-waiting.
Just before their last big US layoffs, Microsoft announced: "Microsoft is expanding our presence in India with a $3 billion investment"
It may be government incompetence, but it might also be a plan to identify everyone online.
There are some decent small Android phones, if you're willing to buy non-mainstream brands. Take a look at:
Australia really wants to be able to identify and track the ID of all their citizens online. No more Internet anonymity for them.
It's still a great browser, though. A bigger problem is that the web is now a mono-culture of Chrome/Chromium. Many sites don't work 100% on Firefox.
Seems like Apple now has a list of 7,000 words you can't use on an iPhone now.
