Yeah I see this as more of a “Printers are an antiquated technology that hasn’t changed much in the last 30+ years” problem.

Quick search …https://www.giantbomb.com/forums/xbox-one-8450/why-does-the-xbox-one-have-a-hypervisor-and-what-i-1437760/

Just search for Xbox hypervisor

The Xbox literally runs a custom build of Windows, that runs in a Virtual Machine, on top of another custom Windows based hypervisor. Then games are run in a separate VM.

All they’d have to do is port the hypervisor to different hardware, then the rest would run on top just fine.

My bet on why they are endorsing it: if they get an actor to sign something for Disney to use their image while they are alive, then they can hold onto that exclusive right to the image for 70 years after the actor dies.

Yeah not really sure how my comment ended up where it is. Connect stacks comments in a weird way and I must have clicked reply in the wrong place.

I was replying to this …

Is there really still such a market for Intel CPUs? I do not understand that AMDs Zen is so much better and is the superior technology since almost a decade now.

…Which up untill this issue was NOT true. The entire Zen 2 line was a step behind the Intel chips that released at the same times as it.

I’ve been running a 3600x for years now and love it … But a i5-10600k that came out at the same time absolutely smashes it in performance.

Yeah that does suck. But I was replying specifically to the person saying Intel hasn’t been relevant for years because of a supposed performance dominance from AMD. That’s part just isn’t true.

Any real world comparison. Gaming frame rate, video encoding… The 13-700 beats the 7900x while being more energy efficient and costing less.

That’s even giving AMD a handicap in the comparison since the 7700x is supposed to be the direct comparison to the 13-700.

I say all this as a longggg time AMD CPU customer. I had planned on buying their CPU before multiple different sources of comparison steered me away this time.

Yeah but PHEVs could be made a lot better. There has not been any push to improve on them, and there’s plenty of room for it.

Toyota had a rad PHEV supercar concept that got 100mpg that never even came close to moving toward production. (As just one example)

I really don’t get why PHEV never ramped up to be the next thing instead of all this push to go full electric when the tech and infrastructure isn’t good enough yet.

…then it will catch fire.

Naw. Zen was a leap ahead when it came out but AMD didn’t keep that pace long and Intel CPUs quickly caught up.

I just almost bought a Ryzen 9 7900x but a i7-13700k ended up being cheaper and outperforms the AMD chip.

Well you don’t understand what “net” means.

It doesn’t mean literally zero. It means colunm A and column B average out to zero.

To acheive a real net zero, they have to save energy somewhere else that takes that column past 100% (Such as if their solar panels produce more energy than they use during certain times.)

They probably just make some shit up to say their are saving extra somewhere they aren’t (so to that point, yes…credits are bullshit.)

MapQuest is still a thing. Bing maps… exists. Wave, even though owned by Google, hasn’t been fucked yet.

Magic Earth is another open source alternative besides OSM.

Kagi isn’t a competitor to Google because search engine isn’t Google’s product.

Collecting user data and monetizing it is Google’s business product, and they are far and away ahead of any other “competition”.

They don’t even need the search engine anymore to collect user data. They have millions of people using Chrome, watching YouTube, using Gmail, using an Android phone…etc

If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it’s actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.

We’re at a point where a company makes an operating system used by a majority of the population while they force you to use your personal online account to log in

I find it hilarious to see how many people rage at this from their iPhone or Android phone where they are logged in with a personal online account in order for the device to function.

You need a Microsoft account to play Minecraft anyway, so you still would have had set one up.

Who wants to take bets that Search itself ends up in The Graveyard soon, leaving nothing but the new AI abomination in place?

That wasn’t the question.
