Intel is particular: they managed to keep appearing to investor as a CPU leader,

BUT:

- they are losing the server to ARM (also thanks to Apple because now many devs use ARM as well)

- AMD is strong on the PC, while Apple (15% market share) is ARM

- They failed to make a dent in the GPU market

So, Intel has got no more area of leadership. No more in manufacturing, no more in chip design. They are riding the inertia wave but will lose it eventually. That's what happens when you let financial people milk the cow. They sure got nice bonuses.

Farewell...

Simple answer that no one seems to suggest:

--> Buy a TV in Europe.

Regulation blah blah slowing down innovation also does that: it protects your privacy.

So, get the TV of your choice but European version.

Wait, it is decentralized but can be frozen ?

No. You just can't use these platforms. But a knowledgeable hacker will be able to add a transaction tot he blockchain.

You can do this in IPv6

Totally agreed.

With the difference that Apple has got a near monopoly on tablets.

I don't like touch screens, they are a counter-pattern for a laptop. Yet I don't mind people liking it and using it. But I am in fear that the UI will get impacted also for non-users.

only the M1 Max can't do nested virtualization (needs M3+)

Exactly on the same boat: I don't see a big improvement until I can run a decent LLM on my machine. But I'll wait for it to reach the $2500 price tag.

Until then, then M1 Pro will be fine for my usage, which is already more advanced than most.

My ideal scenario:

- 2027 the AI bubble bursts

- 2028 new memory factories reach the production stage and fail to meet demand, so we have a glut of memory and rock-bottom prices.

Because they already employ thousands of programmers that the AI cannot replace. Don't believe the marketing hype about AGI, we are extremely far from it.

There is a setting on Macs to allow the laptop to wake-up sporadically to update opened apps during sleep. You can totally disable that.

Not only ASUS: the brand-new Lenovo Thinkbook that my IT department got me is having a similar issue: after sleep, no more keyboard. Even an external one fails to generate keystrokes. You are left with the virtual keyboard or Teamviewer.

As a Mac user, I thought this could not exist. I mean, it is 2026 and a PC still does not have a decent collection of keyboard drivers.

Why not use std::variant instead of an enum and a collection of ifs ?

@ggnore7452 this is your boss.

Have you used the company's tokens to do this?

Where is the customer's software feature we promised?

(just kidding of course. Thx for doing this and thx to whomever paid for the tokens)

Likewise, Apple does not give Withings access to Apple Health's data, even with user permission.

So, I can understand why Withings does not want to be the one doing the hard work of data collection, while Apple is preparing its own subscription for Health services.

But you at least had to provide an email and a means of payment.

The thing with eSIMs is that they are bound to an operator, which is supposed to keep record of who is using them. Law enforcement authorities should be able to get to the guys doing this...

... unless they are tied to a government.

Wait until you see the price of the accessories...

The entry ticket is cheap, then you'll probably pay to extend your system.

HomeView does two things:

- a Home Hub to connect and drive the accessories and Airplay devices in your house

- a UI to support the user experience

I believe that e.g. an AppleTV is already a Home Hub, and the Home app on your iPhone / iPad gives you control over it.

So the value is in the integration and the multi-user support.

What I see is that we are in the phase where managers are buying the marketing hype and think that people can be replaced. I guess people believe what they want to believe.

I anticipate a later wave a re-hiring people who actually know how to run a business / tech center / call center... whatever the AI replaced.

The hard work will not be to replace the people, but to change the organizations so that the productivity of AI can be harvested by the people.

I was talking to these guys when the faulty fridges got installed (early 2000's).

The IT director was usually a consultant with no say at the executive committee, let alone the board. Reporting to the "Secretary General", along with HR.

It took them a LOT of time to realize that digital was strategic.

I totally understand monitoring the fridges remotely, i.e. making sure the retailer is careful about keeping frozen food... frozen.

Or detect a door that would not close anymore.

But why, oh why, did they allow someone to change the settings remotely? Wouldn't it work to just tell the local operator to adjust a physical knob when necessary?

There is no limit to burning tokens :)

It started when people laughed at the EU's efforts for privacy, such as the cookie regulation or GDPR.

The first thing that Meta did after Brexit was moving its UK's user data to the US.

Looking forward to a world where humans connect back in real life and leave the Internet to the AI overlords, so that they can crunch the boring administrative tasks for us.

Now you can get the ghost effect directly to your retina.

oh, wait!

History will remember this administration as a traitor to Europe and its values. Right when the US needs allies.

You obviously don't have teenagers at home :)

This how empires collapse:

- To maintain fellowship, the empire spreads money to buy influence

- eventually this starts to cost too much, so the empire reduces spending

- wars ensue and independent voices emerge

- unable to establish order, the empire loses its influence and collapses

You can see this patterns as the US is overspending (high debt / trade deficit) while reducing its diplomatic influence on international programs. Not sure how they can save the USD value over time.

Beyond the long track record of unmet Musk's announcements, Tesla is strategically in a very difficult situation: it went from being the sole option for an electric car, to being a small mid-market player with quality issues.

- chinese companies are now exporting with 25% discount for similar quality - premium brands occupy the $80'000+ car segment with better comfort and quality - Tesla sells as many as Renault, a local European player, except the later built a strong alliance network to get scale economics.

I won't even mention the failure of the Cybertruck, which cannot even be exported to Europe due to its dangerous design.

In short: they'd rather merge now with a traditional car company while they have a high valuation, much like US West did with QWest at the end of the Internet bubble. Or else...

The OP may not realize how much pressure these AI companies face from regulators to ensure that their AI is caring to its most mentally-fragile users...

In short, he got the answer that Google was forced to give.

Wait until they put AI on it...
