Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Android@lemdro.id•Google accidentally reveals details about its new Android design language, Material 3 Expressive | TechCrunchEnglish1·17 days agoLooks very much like change for the sake of change, or be more specific, change for the sake of promotion.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cutsEnglish1·18 days agoIf not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.
Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cutsEnglish1·18 days agoExactly this.
We continue to be able to make faster chips, both via smaller nodes, but also via advanced packaging and architecture improvements.
But the costs of every new generational increase is rising faster than the % performance improvement.
I am personally hoping this will eventually lead to a culture of total optimization (similar to what we saw in the 90s on both PC and console), but there are likely significant barriers to implementing such a new development culture at scale.

The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn’t work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it’s only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.world•New Linux Patches Propose Removing Support For Old i486 & Early i586 CPUsEnglish1·27 days agoCrazy to think that the concept of “bootleg quality” was even possible for a CPU.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.world•New Linux Patches Propose Removing Support For Old i486 & Early i586 CPUsEnglish1·27 days agoThe patch series today though would end support for original i486 processors as well as early i586 processors. The kernel patches would remove support for CPUs lacking TSC and CX8/CMPXCHG8B capabilities. Basically this would put the minimum upstream Linux kernel support for 32-bit processors at the original Pentium CPU with CMPXCHG8B and Time Stamp Counter (TSC) support.
There were 586 CPUs that were not Pentiums? Article implies the original Pentium would be the new baseline, but then what 586 CPUs would lose support?

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G will get updates until 2031, but it already feels outdated to meEnglish2·1 month agoVery well could be. No one in my has a phone with OneUI 7, and I am only happy out phones will be getting it once it’s been beta tested by someone else. 😀
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G will get updates until 2031, but it already feels outdated to meEnglish4·1 month agoDon’t get me wrong, I got a work issued Galaxy Note 3 in 2014 and I swore off Samsung for 6 years. I liked the phone itself, but software experience was just so bad. It felt like a completely different device after Installed Lineage OS.
But then tried the A50 (after reading several in-depth reviews) and I’ve been buying mid-tier Samsung device for myself and the family sense then.
I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.
Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).
