Virtualization support as well.

It's also OLED, though, so there's that.

I'd imagine that that's implicit: Nobody's buying a 40k display to show a desktop.

https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-ultrasharp-27-4k-hdr-mo... I mean there's that.

Presumably because the market is already saturated by everyone else.

IIRC Sony's is an OLED display. Different display technology. Very expensive. Entirely different. You can't do what an OLED can do with an LCD.

Isn't that thing OLED? I'm not surprised that it's 30k. It's effectively local dimming... for each pixel. Not at all comparable to Apple's HDR display.

Threadripper exists for PCIe + DDR4 (less than the reported 2TiB because of no RDIMM support, but theoretically could hit 2 TiB if people start producing 256GB UDIMMs. But... 64 la…

Probably saving golden 8 core dies for Epyc. It'll come whenever the market needs it, but right now they're doing fine without it.

The 2400G existed. It's a lower end chip, but has the GPU you want.

Image processing is probably offloaded to some sort of custom silicon. If that is the case, then the generational performance uplift would be massive. Consider this: Decoding a big…

The attention to detail isn't always a good thing, though. Sometimes, they see the tree (wow, a thinner display cable) instead of the forest (this hinge has to flex thousands of ti…

It's undeniable that they've made aggressive hardware decisions, but... Intel dwarves their second largest competitor (AMD) in revenue by an order of magnitude... and remember, AMD…

I think it's good to be cautiously optimistic. Microsoft has a massive revenue source in Azure, and losing 100 million on Github to make 1 billion in Azure is... a no brainer.

Can't set them as default though :(

So the Pixel 3a XL loses out on resolution (the Pixel 3a does not... go figure) vs the Pixel 3 counterpart. The SD670 performs close to the SD835 in CPU, but noticeably worse in CP…

Invest in Kotlin. Kotlin is useful for Android NOW. Whenever Dart starts becoming more mainstream, you'll know and have enough time to react to it.

The keyboard changes honestly make no sense. While I never used the context key (and indeed neither my 60% layout nor the original IBM Model M layout seem to have it anyway), I don…

I own a T450s. Definitely no bloatware that persists through a reinstall (that was for a particular case with Lenovo's consumer lineup... completely unexcusable, but never touched …

These criticisms exist because Samsung does not offer first-party solutions to things such as malware detection, location sharing, storage management, caller ID, VPN, music streami…

The thing with keyboards is that... well, for one, scissor switches are perfectly acceptable (the ones in the 2015 MBP and older, and pretty much all laptops today). Further, the t…

Thing is, for a majority of people, life in China is perfectly normal (other than maybe air quality and population density, but the Chinese government has tried hard to combat thos…

China has more than a billion people. It might be the sentiment ONE Chinese person may have, or even a group, but one Weibo user does not represent a significant fraction of Chines…

Galaxy Buds might be worthwhile if you're willing to open it up. Supposedly it's not too hard. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Buds+Teardown...

Geekbench is, IIRC, a pretty non-representative benchmark. Nowhere is this more clear than looking at Samsung Exynos Geekbench results vs. their real-world performance. It's okay f…
