You have to enable developer mode and install with --bypass-low-target-sdk-block now.

Dunno if they’ll remove that eventually

Google is certainly planning on it being viable.

They’ve been merging RISC-V support in Android and have documented the minimum extensions over the base ISA that must be implemented for Android certification

Starting with the iPhone 14, they put the last generation processor in the non-pro and the current generation processor in the pro

The weird thing here is that the 15 non-pro (the new processor from the 14 gen - A16) has a faster NPU than the M1 processor that does support the AI feature

The only possible technical reason is because they put such an anemic amount of RAM in their phones. Otherwise it’s entirely an artificial limitation

Running top of the line models does require a lot of RAM, so it’s not an entirely ridiculous theory.

The one I run on my desktop needs at least 12 gigs of VRAM

The RK3588 is pretty nifty, and is the first Mali GPU (610) where ARM themselves have contributed the firmware upstream and have helped with Collabora with Panfrost development

Bleeding edge, still, but kernel 6.10 and Mesa 24.1 have GPU support

HDMI TX and DSI/CSI are still in-progress

Sure. I just think this might be the first time that the current iPhone would be missing a feature on the next iOS update

I’d guess most iPhone 15 owners would have assumed their phone was new enough for the feature

One thing to note is that they announced Apple intelligence is only coming to the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max for their iOS release

I’m working off the assumption you are using one GPU for the host and one for the guest

The guest one is permanently blacklisted on the host, and you can select the passthrough settings in the GUI

If you’re dynamically detaching the GPU, my statement was incorrect

If your motherboard supports it, it’s really easy

Ensure IOMMU is enabled and run the little script in section 2.2 to see if you can isolate the graphics card

After that, you can do everything in the virtual-manager GUI

Netflix is limited to 720p on Linux due to the DRM they use… maybe OP was confused because of that?

If you’re relying on iMessage for privacy, ensure you and everyone you’re messaging have gone to iCloud settings and enabled “Advanced Data Protection”

I can’t say for all of them, I just knew that e.g. the z790 chipset still ran the ethernet phy, audio dsp, SPI, their version of TrustZone, etc through the chipset

If you have the block diagrams for the laptop ones, I’d be curious

I enjoy that they literally did. The article says the OTA update is just to ignore a hardware sensor

Which begs the question, why was that sensor needed originally?

I haven’t looked that closely at laptop CPUs

My guess would be partially because there are fewer possible interfaces, and they’re directly connecting the CPU to a separate Ethernet/WiFi MAC, USB hub controller, and audio DSP rather than having a separate chipset arbitrating who’s talking to the CPU and doing some of those functions?

For most intents and purposes

SoC is from the embedded system development world - as more and more coprocessors were being put into the same chip to consolidate board space and power efficiency, it wasn’t “just” a cpu - it had the CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and other coprocessors in one

x86 has moved a lot closer to this architecture over the years, but you still generally have a separate chipset controller on the motherboard the CPU interfaces with

Which is why they’re trying to make their own now

The design/manufacturing of a chip is separate from the lithography machine itself

This is the first lithography machine Russia has built. They’d be getting the 90nm ones probably from ASML

That’s probably why he was salivating at hiring all their developers when the OpenAI board members fired the CEO

I’m so curious to see how a Qualcomm gambit plays out for Microsoft.

With the ethos at Qualcomm being support a chip for 1 year, then move on, I have trouble believing they’ll update the drivers for a major windows release

Google browbeat them for nearly 10 years, and then ended up going with the majority Samsung designed chip called Tensor just to compete against Apple in years of updates

The comment over on hackaday pointing to it being bricked possibly being down to font licensing is funny if true

System on a chip. Think like a Qualcomm or Samsung processor, or the new M line from Apple
