And I thought western social media was already unbearable without adblockers. This sounds even more hellish.

I’m not 100% sure but it doesn’t require a login when you pick that option. Iirc it uses an account from a set of shared accounts so that it doesn’t have any personally identifiable information.

You can just login anonymously like the description you posted says. It works pretty well. It’s how I download apps that aren’t available on my local play store.

I’m not sure if this is funny or just sad.

It’s always been a lie. Hiring a Singaporean CEO doesn’t make you not a China company. It would’ve been hilarious and not sad if so many people didn’t fall for such a simple trick.

Are you sure you’re talking about Windows Phone or Windows Mobile because the only Motorola phone I could find online that ran Windows was Windows Mobile from way back in the mid 2000s which is completely different from Windows Phone that came out in the 2010s.

I could swap the word Windows phone and Android in your statement and that was my experience then. This was the Galaxy S3 era where Android ran like a stuttery mess. No apps have ever crashed on my Lumia at least until I installed developer previews towards the end of it’s life (it wasn’t even a supported model to begin with) and it was smooth as butter so I’m not sure where you got this idea from. Have you ever used one back then?

I would have never gotten a Lumia back in 2013 if it ran Android. I would’ve stuck with iOS. Android was hideous and a mess. People here don’t like Microsoft but WP was way ahead of its time in a number of aspects and complemented the Lumia design language really well.

Japanese is kind of similar. Although usually native speakers do not use an English keyboard. They use this:

Since Japanese has 5 vowels, each key here represents a consonant and can actually enter any of the 5 vowels by either tapping on it or flicking up, down, left or right on it. Once you’ve built the word you’re trying to write, you can tap on the auto suggested kanji or katakana or leave it as is in hiragana.

The exception is the bottom left and right keys which are for alternative consonants (I’m not sure the actual linguistic term) and punctuation which have fewer options but work similarly.

So if I’m writing the character for home, I’d flick the button toy he right of the emoji button left for い and then right for え. Once I have both hiragana characters, I just need to tap on the 家 character that appears above the keyboard.

Why can’t they just put the information in the alert directly? That’s what the Koreans did when I was there. Why this extra indirection in the first place?

Isn’t scheduling able to mitigate issues like that? It helps a lot that Shinkansens are pretty much always on time. Can’t wait for the Chuo to open eventually though.

Alyx has ruined almost every other VR game for me purely from how polished of an experience it is. Every other game that isn’t an arcade, driving/racing sim or a fitness game just feels clunky to me.

Some communities just don’t really have an equivalent elsewhere but I’m purely only lurking now. Don’t comment anymore, use a modded third party client on mobile and ublock origin on desktop.

What’s wrong with the name? XR is a term hats been used for years.

3. An M Pro esque chip was also in the plans, but seemingly canceled? Or way behind AMD, at least. And OEMs have repeatedly rejected their GPU heavy designs like Broadwell eDRAM and the AMD collab chip, as they’re kinda idiots and Intel is at their mercy. And the laptop chips they are selling now are basically their best shot at an “M” chip and arguably one of their most decent products.

Wasn’t Lunar Lake supposed to be this?

Both RISC and CISC decode into micro-ops regardless. Read the article, it goes into detail, the diagrams make it pretty clear if you don’t want to read the whole article. Modern processors have no notable differences between RISC or CISC designs anymore in the way you described. The only thing RISC and CISC differs in is essentially just the interface that assemblers assemble code into. Which is different across ISAs anyways.

That’s not true at all. It’s a common misconception but there’s nothing stopping x86 from also targeting a power efficient design. It’s all about architecture and not the instruction set. There just hasn’t been an incentive for Intel and AMD to focus their architectures on power efficiency since they make much more money in the server space. Lunar Lake is Intel’s first real attempt at it.

The Z1 Extreme has already shown very comparable and sometimes better performance and power efficiency as the M2 chips and the Lunar Lake chips trade blows with the X Elite not just in performance but also power draw.

If you wanna know more, this goes very in depth on what the differences are: https://chipsandcheese.com/p/why-x86-doesnt-need-to-die

With Lunar Lake proving that x86 can contend with ARM if it wants to, I’m not sure why anyone would consider these laptops which perform about the same but with compatibility issues.

There’s a dedicated Japanese Cluster only filter that’s pretty varied though.

If you’re already using a third party engine it shouldn’t be as big of a deal jumping to Linux. But if you’re doing engine development, the tools on Windows are still superior. There’s a big reason why Direct3D is still so popular despite being constrained to only Xbox and Windows. Tooling and documentation for Vulkan and OpenGL are light years behind and it’s frustrating to see how vast the differences are as someone who primarily works with Vulkan/OpenGL and haa dabbled with Direct3D as a hobby.
