They are saying the fact that Qualcomm isn’t involved with AI stuff (at least not yet in a big way) is a reason to buy their stuff.

And also has nothing to do with Android.

I mean, it’s Ivanka right? I’m okay with that.

Do you have any studies for that? From what I can tell phones and portable devices are all running ARM and even small laptops have been switching to ARM.

That’s their point.

Yes, but also no. It does use the Linux kernel, but userspace is very different. The application ecosystem is very different. There can be huge differences between distros let alone a linux distro and android…

Battery life, Android ecosystem is actually designed for a smaller form factor, cost. Wither or not these are good enough reasons are personal, but there are reasons.

Not always. But you have discovered the actual problem. The problem is continued pile up of arms and the industries that rely on the continued purchase of arms.

The economic argument isn’t a good one. It’s not like these missiles get paid for when used. They get paid for up front and actually cost us money to maintain until they’re used.

I wouldn’t heap lumber in with that list. They can be local, sustainable building materials. Also, trees just aren’t a great carbon capture. It’s when you pull carbon that has been sequestered in the ground for thousands of years and put it in the air that you create the problem.

Dude, this is a discussion forum. I think people are allowed to discuss things.

What, the original comment in this thread is about the comment about AI? Nobody in this comment thread said anything about Linux support other than you just now. You’re lost in the thread.

At this point in my life I’ve learned to just play the game. I hate the rule makers and want the rules changed, but you only hurt yourself if you don’t play.

Yeah, but AMD and Nvidia’s consumer GPUs don’t exist in a vacuum. They are companies with entire portfolios of things to sell. I know people are frustrated and maybe it helps them to downvote, but it’s the truth. Nvidia doesn’t give a shit about the consumer market now (neither does Samsung, Crucial, etc…). AMD doesn’t have the leverage to squeeze the market like Nvidia does, hence the price drop referenced in the article while the price of a 5090 is still going up. I don’t know why any gamer would buy Nvidia though. Unless you want to do AI workloads, they’ve priced themselves out of being reasonable. Heck, even for AI, AMD gives more RAM at a lower cost and ROCM continually gets better.

The thing is, Nvidia doesn’t care. They make way more money from the business sector. More and more businesses don’t care about the average consumer, they care about the consumers with deep pockets.

AMD missed the mark with AI by ignoring the Nvidia ecosystem for so long. They’re playing catch up.

He isn’t even a career politician.

The guy had a ton of connections and wealth. That’s plenty of power.

The other two women were terrible candidates. It would definitely be extra struggle for AOC, but she would at least have a chance unlike the past two.

The original is better. Stampede has an interesting aesthetic…
