Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.

  • It sounds like you will have a more stable experience on Windows 10 where they only release security fixes.

  • This is honestly the biggest issue with using American platforms, they are fundamentally unreliable (not to mention criminally corrupt).

  • Piefed's scheduling is very intuitive and works well (it supports Lemmy communities too).

  • "They cannot produce only high-end or low-end [products]... but they can, for example, they have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, five segments. They focus on 1, 3, and 5, and reduce the percentage on 2 and 4, because on 2 and 4, the revenue contribution per gigabyte of memory is lower. They will calculate how much revenue [each segment] contributes per gigabyte of memory." [Emphasis added]

    Moving up the stack, the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti contribute the same gross revenue per gigabyte, meaning that the cheaper-to-produce 5070 will likely be favored over its Ti sibling (which uses a bigger, more power-hungry GPU and a more complex board design)—or that both cards are likely to be deprioritized in favor of the more profitable RTX 5060 Ti 8GB.

    Looks like it will be difficult to get the 5060, 5060 Ti 16GB and possibly 5070 Ti (and 5070?).

    So everything below the 5080!

  • American oligarchs are so vapid and predictable...

  • Stupid idea.

    I say this as someone who lives in a country where multiple random US sites (from work-related to gaming) do a country-wide IP block.

  • Lots of typos in my part. :) corrected.

  • That's actually not the case in many parts of the world where public transport is widely used and people from different economic groups purchase stuff at the market (something similar to farmers' markets in the US, but more mainstream).

    Note I am not anti-AI per se (I use LLM a lot for certain low risks tasks at work and some hobby stuff). I do oppose corruption, oligarchs, closed markets and VC activity de facto founded on rent-seeking and criminality; so in one sense, yes, I am anti-AI.

  • This is a “teenager just discovered speed” level of sophomoric writing.

    It really is. It's almost reads like a parody of a regressive oligarch.

  • There is a silver lining to all this, an opportunity for the rest of the world to embrace new models (open competitive markets, truly customer-focused services) that go beyond the American cult of the pompous, regressive oligarch. Not saying it will happen tomorrow or in an utopian fairy tale manner, but history tends to be cyclical.

    To get to the next peak, you have to hit bottom first.

    A side note, check out Marc Andreessen's "manifesto":

    This is a "teenager just discovered speed" level of sophomoric writing.

    This is a good thing, it means with the right kind of pressure he will fold as he doesn't believe in what he is writing.

  • What were the planned use cases if you don't mind me asking?

  • Is it naive to hope we might get better optimization as a result of the RAM supply crunch? Is it even possible to optimise (as opposed to use lower resolution textures?) for lower VRAM?

    Thankfully I am CPU bound both for gaming and hobbies. I really hope AMD re-releases the 5800X3D or even a 5900X3D, a new AM5 build doesn't sound like a realistic proposition any time soon.

    I also wonder how AMD will react (raise price for the 9070 and the 16 GB 9060?).

  • Sure, I am not the author.

    I enjoyed reading the review and decided to share it with others. Nothing more and nothing less. :)

  • With a sticker price of $2900-$3000, this system is running right up against the low-end configurations of NVIDIA’s GB10 systems, the cheapest of which start at around $3000.

  • I am on Android 16, the A73 might even get Android 17. Even if it doesn't get 17, I think government/banking apps on Android 16 will be usable for another 3 years minimum.

    Who knows, by that time Europe might be forced to dump Android/iOS (as opposed to "wanting" to do it).

  • My first HDD was 1.5 GB, this was in late 1996.

    Still used floppies with that PC.

  • Don't think Play Store is available, but it supposed to run APKs.

    We have the same issue with our e-ID and banking apps, they are used for everything.

    I doubt our e-ID and banking APKs will work on SailfishOS compatibility mode.

    My plan is too keep my current phone specifically for those two apps. Not optimal, but in my case Android/iOS isn't viable any more.

  • I am thinking of getting the Jolla Phone:

    While the UI Framework isn't fully open source in SailfishOS, it think in the short to medium term it's better fit for my use cases; running open source apps whenever possible (currently via F-Droid on Android) and avoiding any app install otherwise unless there is no other option.

    Not to mention and I am done with large American companies (especially tech companies or ones that don't have a local presence).

  • The usual soothsayers posit that AMD will leverage "RDNA 3.5+" iGPUs for this class, instead of pulling in truly next-gen architecture (RDNA 4, RDNA 5 or UDNA).

    If this is true, this will be a notable drawback for Medusa Point.
