They both have their corporate masters. It’s just RedPubs run a pro corporate ticket and Democrats have a platform that is perceived as anti corporate. RedPubs get into the office and do exactly what they promised, Democrats get into the office and have to pretend to not bite the hand that feeds too hard (more of a gentle lick).
This is why the Democrats strategy is to lose. They are essentially paid to lose. Corporatism is what is getting in the way of democracy.
I would like to see further development but I always had a sneaking suspicion that its life was limited due to the fact that ARC does not come from Intel’s fabs either. Like lunar lake, Arc is also made at TSMC.
I don’t think Lunar lake wasn’t a “mistake” so much as it was a reaction. Intel couldn’t make a competitive laptop chip to go up against Apple and Qualcomm. (There is a very weird love triangle between the three of them /s.) Intel had to go to TSMC to get a chip to market that satisfied this AI Copilot+ PC market boom(or bust). Intel doesn’t have the ability to make a competitive chip in that space (yet) so they had to produce lunar lake as a one off.
Intel is very used to just giving people chips and forcing them to conform their software to the available hardware. We’re finally in the era where the software defines what the cpu needs to be able to do. This is probably why Intel struggles. Their old market dominant strategy doesn’t work in the CPU market anymore and they’ve found themselves on the back foot. Meanwhile new devices where the hardware and software are deeply integrated in design keep coming out while Intel is still swinging for the “here’s our chip, figure it out for us” crowd.
In contrast to their desktop offerings, looking at Intel’s server offerings shows that Intel gets it. They want to give you the right chips for the right job with the right accelerators.
He’s not wrong that GPUs in the desktop space are going away because SoCs are inevitably going to be the future. This isn’t because the market has demanded it or some sort of conspiracy, but literally we can’t get faster without chips getting smaller and closer together.
Even though I’m burnt on Nvidia and the last two CPUs and GPUs I’ve bought have been all AMD, I’m excited to see what Nvidia and mediatek do next as this SOC future has some really interesting upsides to it. Projects like ashai Linux proton project and apple GPTK2 have shown me the SoC future is actually right around the corner.
Turns out, the end of the x86 era is a good thing?
Sounds like free money for all those certificate authorities out there. Imma start my own CA with blackjack and hookers.
… Then piracy isn’t theft. Let the whole digital content industry burn at this point. I don’t care anymore.
Rant:
I built a PC for a friend of mine recently and got a bundle CPU motherboard and GPU (5600x3D microcenter exclusive at the time). I had so many problems with the Phantom Gaming 6600xt at the time. The machine would boot inconsistently. I went back to microcenter and returned the card after reading that the sapphire 6750xt didn’t have the same problems and swapped up to a sapphire.
This week I just bought a Radeon 7800 XT steel legend for 480$ USD. It was smaller and cheaper than comparable products. The card has the worst coil whine I ever heard and performed poorly. I assume I paid the price for not going for something like the sapphire nitro+. I went and swapped it out (at microcenter). 7800xt nitro+ is a much better card, does not whine and works as expected.
This may be related to the AMD/Radeon products…
I have a 3080ti from MSI that is a huge RGB glowing monstrosity in one rig and a dell 3090 24G in another. I got them used for 350$ and $600 respectively. I’m running the 3080 with a 12600k and the 3090 with a 7900x with higher end motherboards (Asus Maximus and ASRock Tai chi) and have no issues. I paid extra for these motherboards to ensure that I didn’t run into any weird compatibility issues.
I just keep getting burned on ASrock, MSI, gigabyte models of things in the lower tier price category. It makes me feel like “the medium soda 40 cents cheaper than the large because it exists only to make the large seem like a better deal.”

It feels like the bottom felt out of the market and now if you want a computer that works as expected you need to get these ultra high end luxury RGB brainrot products.
Anytime I try to buy something in the mid range now it basically comes broken or falls apart in the first month of ownership.
You may as well buy Chinese ewaste from Ali express at that point.
Please stahp the mergers and acquisitions already pleeeeease.
Price drop put the 7900x at bargain bin prices and I bought that instead.

I mean a few of us are still … Android, Chromecast (Android TV), Google One, Google Suite, Google Mesh, Nest (the few products that remain).
Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.
They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.
No one can undo years of economic turbulence in three years. Everyone feels like they’re being gaslit because they are. The patient will bleed out before you finish applying the first bandaid.
There is something about the Palm Pre or Jolla Sailfish OS that was so endearing back then. Devices that support it just don’t exist.
My vote is universal Blue and its spins like Bluefin or Bazzite
Can you tell if an AI is being trained on these Lemmy instances? How would you detect it and stop it?
💯 exactly where I learned about it too.
I gotta be honest, I love his deadpan dry ass thumbnails.
Nintendo sues everyone they can because as an IP holder of some seriously valuable properties, everything else in the gaming industry just looks like free real estate for them to colonize. I can make a game called “Dog Fighters” and I’m sure they’ll find a way to tell me they own that idea.
