It's not just node, it's also the design. If I remember properly, ARM has constant instruction length which helps a lot with caching. Anyway, Apple's M CPUs are still way better when it comes to perf/power ratio.

mihies ,

Here, I've found an article. M CPUs are also much more integrated, like a SoC, which gives them further performance/power advantages sacrificing extensibility.

mihies ,

At least it doesn't pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.

mihies ,

Germany has a lot of renewable sources and it's full on building much more. You're confusing it with their dumb policy of closing nuclear power plants. They are also considering hydrogen as storage to replace coal and gas power plants during winter. Note winter, they have not much problems during summer where electricity is abundant and often has a negative price.

What does Norway being oil exporter have anything to do with this topic?

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

ve ran into the same issue I’ve had with Spotify for a while - even if I download a playlist for offline usage, it’ll still try to connect to the internet, so if I was somewhere with poor reception, it’d get stuck on a spinning circle for a minute before giving up and showing me the songs I’ve wanted to play.

That's by design and all streaming apps would do it like that to enforce abuse prevention.
Edit: added word at the end

mihies ,

The thing is, you're buying from their record labels, not directly from artists. And then it depends on their contract how much they actually get. But they are still getting more from it, I guess.

mihies ,

Probably it wasn't noticeable. Imagine this scenario: somebody would pay a monthly fee, would download "entire" Spotify and then forever listen to it in offline mode. And since it's offline, artists won't get payed as well.

mihies ,

No one is being turned into a borg drone.

Yet.

mihies ,

I really do hope that this crap is handled better in EU. At least theoretically it should be.

mihies ,

One can hope, right. I just stumbled across an article in local magazine about this same issue. Have to read it and report back.

mihies ,

AFAIK with Apple it is even part of the SoC, not even soldered.

mihies ,

Not to mention that MS completely changed their development tools and libraries more than once if I remember properly.

mihies ,

If you don't want to pay, then don't use it. Regardless of everything, music producers still need to live and pirating is a shit move to help them.

mihies ,

Kudos for paying Spotify (as I do). I disagree on "if they give me shit service" part. If that happens, you have an option to either switch service or don't use any of them. IMO pirating is not an option. Also when pirating though P2P, you also distribute the content.

I don't think Qualcomm can outperform Apple at CPU game out of the blue. They were always trailing behind and Apple has now three generations of M CPUs behind. It'd be nice, though.

Edit: fixed stupid typo - can't outperform -> can outperform

mihies ,

Let's declare any successful foreign country as enemy and either ban, or better, steal their products. True market.

Tesla’s in its flop era (www.theverge.com)

When Tesla releases its first quarter earnings this afternoon, the company’s CEO Elon Musk will field the usual questions about new products, new factories, and progress toward its futuristic vision of self-driving cars and robot workers. But Musk will also face increasingly urgent questions about its current state of affairs...

mihies ,

This is all because they failed to award Elmo with those billions. Quick, there is still time to save the company. /s

mihies ,

RIP net neutrality, it was nice knowing you.

mihies ,

How is self hosting better than paying artists?

mihies ,

TBH from article it seems that woman on photo (Forsén) decided that's enough of sharing her photo.

mihies ,

Every product should have a clear EOL path, most preferably a recyclable one. Indeed it should be on manufacturers shoulders to enable it and on legislation to require it.

Android users who have a keen eye for design and detail, how is the whole stutter/lag situation? Esp. after a few years of use?

I haven't used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any...

mihies ,

Nah, it's not GC unless lists are really poorly implemented.

mihies ,

Yep, that's the case. Who knows what's causing lags. It still can be a poorly implemented list, it could be OS doing something else it could be something else. It would be interesting testing same app on different devices.

mihies ,

TBH this is always the case when you interact with any social network or any website in general. Data can be always collected. GDPR helps somehow.

mihies ,

Exynos are subpar to Qualcomm arm chips, or at least they were not so far ago.

mihies ,

Yep, yep. Also their ARM chips might quickly become more powerful than x64 ones as is the case with Mx ones. At least when it comes to laptops. The article is really weird by focusing on gaming experience, is this really a big market for laptops?

mihies ,

If it isn't, then there is almost no point in going ARM for Windows. Apple demonstrated that it can be quite lower or better perf at same power consumption.

mihies ,

To surprise of no-one :)

mihies ,

Windows Vista didn't make many PCs obsolete, though.

mihies ,

Indeed, Intel khm khhhm hhmk

mihies ,

From what I read, you should be able to. 🤷‍♂️ In theory 🥹

mihies ,

Even if it is so, giving a clear and easy option to opt for local account instead, would be the right way.

mihies ,

Doing it right can actually prevent organ donations. Like having speed shown without the need to take eyes away from road.

Toyota cars collecting and potentially sharing location data and personal information, Choice says, and it's not the only car brand facing privacy concerns (www.abc.net.au)

Rafi Alam from CHOICE told The World Today: "When we looked at Toyota's privacy policy, we found that these Connected Services features will collect data such as fuel levels, odometer readings, vehicle location and driving data, as well as personal information like phone numbers and email addresses."...

mihies ,

Wait, wat? They collect sexual activity? 🤪

mihies , (edited )

I might even consider it out if they weren't selling me music as well and if there was a family option (in my country). And no, I wouldn't consider VPN as I won't do extra work to be able to pay google.

mihies ,

Opt in would be the only proper option

The top five RSS readers for keeping up with your news feeds (www.theverge.com)

RSS readers allow you to collect the articles of specific sources in one app, making it a lot easier to find the content you’re interested in without crawling through a lot of noise. RSS (which may stand for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, or one of several other possibilities — nobody seems sure) has been...

mihies ,

Self hosted tiny tiny RSS for me with Android and iOS clients.

mihies ,

That's it for me. I'm not buying Nvidia products ever again.

mihies ,

I was highly sceptical about this, too, because watching Netflix at more than one location and by more than one family member. Have to say that we haven't had any issue so far. Perhaps it helps that we still spend weekends at primary location together. 🤷‍♂️

mihies ,

Read the article, they talk about photos of journalists using it.

mihies ,

And they beat AMD in efficiency! I'm (not) surprised that people ignore this important aspect which matters in noise, heat and power usage.
