> 3 times the CPU performance of my desktop system with an Intel i7 6700k

Translation: He got a new thing, and it's pretty nice. In case anyone wants to know his basis for comparison, here it is.

This article is clearly not about CPU benchmarks(or best blue tooth mice or best Linux distro or any of a dozen other things.)

I love my M1 Max and the phenomenal battery life.

But I agree - These performance claims are starting to miss the point. The real magic of the M1 is the battery life and thermals. It’s not actually faster than my AMD desktop when it comes down to testing things like compile times, but I don’t care because the M1 lets me do it on battery in a portable manner.

I love comparisons of M1 to desktops.

When I click that link, I get some fake popups saying my "phone has been hacked" and that my "phone has viruses".

I didn't even bother to try to read any of the content.

You should install uBlock Origin plugin for browsers. It will block any advertising and other unwanted content. I don't know how you guys living without an ad blocker.

I do use it on my PC, but I'm on my Android right now. Do ad blockers work on Android?

I guess I haven't cared enough to look since I mostly just do light web usage on my phone: HN, reddit, and twitter are about it, and ads aren't too bad on those sites.

Either way, I don't think it is too much to ask for web sites not to have actual scams on them. I'm not talking about legit ads which are annoying enough, but rather things that try to mimic a pop-up window and tell me my device is hacked or has viruses.

I'm not going to fall for that of course, but some people are less aware and might.

There's Firefox for Android which supports uBlock Origin.

You can browser-based ad blockers, but also system-level ones like DNS66 or Blokada. You can skip those apps if you point your phone at ad blocking DNS servers like Adguard's.

ublock origin works at least with mobile firefox. I have no idea what folks do with the other android browsers though.

I am running uBlock, and almost none of the images on the page load right now. And seeing the way the title on that page is written, I'm not expecting quality content from there. Maybe share a link to a page that doesn't suck?

Would it be possible to provide a link that is from some low budget ass website?

I updated the link and now you should see results on the official Geekbench website.

You are not missing much. That's a… weird site, to say the least.
