This does beg the question.
For the 14" mbp, can those stands that heatsink the chasis give enough thermal headroom to compensate for the size difference, without relying on internally thermal padding the heatpipes to the chasis, and making it uncomfortable to use on a lap?
On the networking side. M4 max does have thunderbolt 5, 80gbps advertised.
Would ip over TB not allow for significantly faster interconnects when clustering Macs?
I'm curious how quickly that trend will reverse when Google fulfills their promise to lock down sideloading on android.
Samsung makes nice hardware, but their bloatware is infuriating. I spend a lot of time on every new device, using ADB to purge as many samsung apps as I can. I'm getting tired of doing it.
Once I can't sideload anymore on android, my next phone will be an iphone.
The trend, if there is one, will be effected in no measurable way when a few nerds bail because they can't remove Samsung's browser.
By the way, outside of core phone features like Phone (dialer,) Settings, Camera, etc. you can disable or uninstall everything else without sideloading anything.
The dgx spark definitely makes sense for some people, but $3k for an upgraded Jetson, with less tops than a last gen consumer 4090, does beg the question.
Unless you're getting them to practice specifically on nvidia hardware before scaling up, why not get an m4 max Mac w/ 128GB+ ram instead?
Are there any 3rd party, privacy respecting, voice assistants that integrate with android?
Gemini is staying uninstalled, and I'm not in a hurry to switch to iPhone.
If I can pay once for an on-device voice assistant to set gps destinations, alarms, timers, and tell me the weather, I'm set.
I've had hydraulic brakes fail on me before when a line broke in the winter, this doesn't sound significantly worse.
That said, I was able to control my car with a steel cable e-brake handle when it happened, and whatever fancy bs automakers decide to use on the brake pedal, I'm not buying a car without a handbrake for the foreseeable future.
> I'm not buying a car without a handbrake for the foreseeable future.
Good luck. Most every car now has a switch connected to the computer that commands a motor to pull a chord that bonks the gerbil cage which starts running in its wheel that turns a fan by belt which blows the toy sailboat which bumps the hinged board that falls over releasing the bowling ball that runs down the ramp into a basket that pulls a rope which turns the burner on the stove boiling a kettle of water which blows the little turbine that pulls the brake pads tight. Cables and levers were too hard for them to install.
Lpcamm2 rollout has been disappointing. Especially given it's potential. Maybe it's good for repairability in ultralights, but where's the 96GB module?
Upgradability isn't really a factor when the upgrade path is only 32 or 64gb modules.
A Ryzen ai max 395 laptop with dual lpcamm2 boards, maxing out at 192gb of ddr5 7500, could have been a dream machine for a developer.
Valve expanding steamos compatibility might be the closest we're getting.Hopefully their flavour is viable for a variety of computers by windows 10 sunset date.
