  • It didn’t take long for more info to come out about the A20, and the suspected compromises that are being made on the iPhone: https://wccftech.com/apple-a20-solder-joint-leak-base-iphone-18-compromises/ . I also used to sell their gear for 3 years

    Pretty much every company has been busted cheating on benchmarks, including Nvidia and Intel (its easy to do, just detect the starting frames, or/and the exe). And, I spent all of last week optimising code using benchmarks (and profiling)

    On Desktop applications in particular, Apple’s biggest failure has always been GPU. Which is why testers often test things like encoding (it has a chip designed to accelerate video encoding), CPU, and rarely games.

    Like my M2 Mac Studio looked awesome in benchmarks (Toms hardware did one too). They didn’t test games, because if they tested things like Raytracing, they would have discovered the M2 never had raytracing built in (and, computers which cost the same price DID at the time)

    My Mac Pro looked awesome on paper too (it even needed FB ECC Dimms to work). The GPU was absolute slop compared to what PC’s were shipping, which is why sites only ever seemed to test Apps…

    If someone like Steve was testing this, I’d trust it immediately. But the entire premise of the article is around 1 benchmark… And for all we know, they might have been testing against absolute crap products


  • Yeah… I wasn’t aware of that. I think I tried apps like Control4 and Sonos and couldn’t find them, and then bailed (this was a few days ago).

    The apps I saw when opening it, just (at least at first glance), didn’t really feel like top tier apps, but I might try it again, as I didn’t know you could add more repos

    What I’m really hoping is that Steam opens a Android App store




  • No, you’re telling people how they should communicate, because you’re (ironically) getting offended that some people are self-censoring… Hence the “Can people knock it off, please?”. That sure sounds like an attack…

    Just because a lot of us swear, doesn’t mean we feel we have to write swear words everywhere where kids might be reading it.

    And, what annoys me, is that, if you weren’t the one who told me off long ago about this, then there is more than 1 person here who are basically trying belittle people who don’t communicate in a way that they approve…

    In another one of your posts, you’re also attacking younger people who follow rules…




  • Oh no. Who gives a sh**

    Seems like you’re making a big deal about nothing…

    I’ve probably come more people whining about this and pretending like it’s about government control or whatever, as people getting offended by swear words

    It’s just as bad, if not worse because you’re trying to control freedom of speech. People can choose to censor if they wish.

    You can choose to use an uncensored source


  • It’s funny, because I self censored and it triggered someone a few months ago on Lemmy.

    It’s even more wild people are getting offended by stupid things like this imho. Almost like they need to be acknowledged to be reminded they’re normal.

    The funny thing is, I probably swear more than anyone I know in real life most the time but I don’t feel like I need to make it part of my personality lol
