It also ignores the "prefers-reduced-motion" CSS Media feature flag :(

so? this isnt about accessibility its about preference. i prefer white backgrounds but im not sad when a site author chooses pink.

How should you know whether it's about accessibility? The `prefers-reduced-motion` feature is explicitly[0] intended to accommodate people with vestibular motion disorders, which are common above age 40.[1]

As a AMD fanboy who loves seeing them back on top, I’m just happy we have a competitive CPU market now. I’ll include the M-series from Apple as well, despite being platform locked, because it also forces the other players to up their game. I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. The insane memory bandwidth of the M1 is what ke…

> I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. Current rumours suggest that's where AMD is heading, Zen 5 having multiple accelerators integrated and Zen 6 having HBM part of the package (on the datacenter variants): https://youtu.be/6yFn85I5PbY?t=1222

All this makes me wonder where the Crystalwell concept could have gone if Intel had really stuck it out.

Last I checked cockroach don’t support ARM binaries. Probably means they thought not worth the effort to do the analysis on those instances as it doesn’t help for their offering

It does supports ARM. It's a Go project so it should except if they do exotic things.

Explained why they don't produce official, supported builds.

I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. The insane memory bandwidth of the M1 is what keeps it competitive.

I know this has been said a million times, but it's worth repeating because somehow the idea is still floating around – the M series very much does not have the RAM on-die. It's not even in the same package – it's standard LPDDR4/5 sitting off to the side with a lot of channels.

There is one: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/

This gives consent automatically (in an unspecified amount of cases). The correct action is to respond with a "no consent" answer every time, because withdrawing your consent for every single optional cookie category should be the default. People bother you with popups because they hate you, not because they are mandatory.

While it's true that this extension sometimes accepts all cookies, that isn't the case most of the time. From the extension's website:

> In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies.

It would be helpful to have a "what did you choose on this site" view though if that doesn't exist yet.

It would be better if the default was to reject always, everywhere. And the "please pander to corporate evil" flag was something to turn on explicitly.

Hopefully some serious competition and general normality will return to consumer discrete GPUs sometime soon, too.

I don't know about competition, but I think we'll see prices bottom out below MSRP before the 4000 level cards come out in the next few months.

Do you think so, because the crypto craze is back in the crypt?

Yes! How awesome is it that we've got companies like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, ARM, Apple + TSMC for M series, and others who are cranking out awesome products? Sometimes we get lost in the criticism of every little thing that these companies do and forget that honestly, they're all cranking out great products.

ASML deserves mentioning as well.

How about ARM? Included in the report?

There is very little offering and honestly afaik they are not competing on performance except niche applications. It's not that easy to displace x86...

The big savings on graviton come from no hyperthreading. A VCPU on x86 is a hypercore, but a VCPU on graviton is a full core. So you get a full core and its L1 and L2 all to yourself. Usually for cheaper than an x86 VCPU.
