On the x86 architecture, RAM is used by the CPU and the GPU has a huge penalty when accessing main RAM. It therefore has onboard graphics memory.
On ARM this is unified so GPU and CPU can both access the same memory, at the same penalty. This means a huge class of embarrassingly parallel problems can be solved quicker on this architecture.
Let’s spend all that new-found battery life by translating x86 code to ARM code.
Yeah, Plex downloads work fine still, on all devices.
Cancelled last month. Don’t miss it. Entertain myself by downloading and installing Linux distributions instead. They usually can be downloaded using torrent/magnet links.
They are specifically not tying it to people, but to countries.
Because that allows them to sell the default search engine spot for more; the more you know about an audience the more it’s worth, even this high up the food chain.
If you go through my comment history you’ll find me saying, multiple times, that Mozilla has worked itself into this problem, by adding far more people than they need. The browser would be healthier, I suspect, if there was a 50-strong, open-collective backed, dev team working on just the browser. At the minute the org is enormous and they now need to find a way to pay for that enormous org.
For the love of Darwin, really?
Any product manager needs data about how a product is used to make the product better. Of course they need to test if moving a button to a different place leads to an easier to understand setting screen; or if moving extensions into a separate menu means fewer people find the malicious extension and turn it off.
I’ll be the first person to say that Mozilla is bigger than it needs to be and their org size isn’t justified by their results. But to think collecting data automatically makes them suspect seems to me lazy. It’s what they do with the data that counts.
Discord is honestly the most awful way to create a helpful community.
It’s a great way to give the 20 most active members of the community someplace to trample on top of newbies trying to get questions answered.
I’ve already paid for a lifetime license of Plex. Is it worth considering a switch?
After 20+ in software, my loyalty towards my current employer is as strong and unyielding as theirs is to me: Not at all.
Yes unified and extremely slow compared to an ARM architecture’s unified memory, as the GPU sort of acts as if it was discrete.
