- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 3 weeks ago:
At work we do a lot of transfers between android and iPhone and vice versa. We use Verizon Content Transfer installed on both phones because it plays nice between brands and offers bluetooth/wifi transfer reliably. Verizon affiliation not required.

Do you have a source for AMD chips being especially energy efficient? I don’t consider them to be even close. M3 is 190 cinebench points per watt whereas Ryzen 7 7840U is 100. My ppw data doesn’t contain snapdragon x yet, but it’s generally considered to be a multithreading king on the market and it runs as signifcantly lower tdp than AMD. SoCs are inherently more energy efficient. My memory of why is the instruction sets on x86 allow for more complicated process but ARM is hard restricted to using less complicated processes as building blocks if complexity is required.
Like I mentioned though, there are tasks that x86 cannot be beat on but it’s because they use ASICs on-chip for hardware accelerated encoding/decoding and nothing is more efficient at a task than an ASIC /FPGA.

Dell is already releasing Qualcomm SoC Latitudes. There are bound to be compatibility issues, but performance wise it’s kinda undeniable that this is where the market is going. It is far more energy efficient than an Intel or AMD x86 CPU and holds up just fine. The main downsides you’ll see could likely be resolved with ASICs, which is how Intel keeps 4k video from being choppy on low end APUs for example. Compared to M4, Qualcomm’s offering is slightly better at multithreaded performance and slightly worse at single thread. The real downside to them is really the reliance on raw throughput for tasks that both brands of CPUs have purpose built daughter chips for.
- Comment on What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈 4 weeks ago:
Presumably the president saying that it’s going to use the entire federal executive to boost a single failing company’s shortcomings is good for buyer confidence. At this point it should be nationalized for as much money has been handed to that company from our pockets.
- Comment on Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out? 1 month ago:
The outside would make less skin contact than the fuzzy inside. I imagine you’d have more stinky feet at the end of the day.
- Comment on Is there a better way to search for/sort mechanical keyboards? 1 month ago:
I believe for the best side by sides you’d want something like rtings.com, they’re most known for monitors but have good neutral data about mechanical keyboards too.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 1 month ago:
The last round of tariffs were paid almost uniformly and directly to large farming conglomerates to keep them silent on the matter. The amount actually left over after paying farmers wasn’t much, certainly not enough to cover the damage it did in other industries. There’s no doubt in my mind that it will be turned into a market manipulation scheme wherein they will invest in the subsidized markets after buying stocks in the relevant corporations once the market settles to its new low state.
- Comment on Why are entertainers paid so much? 1 month ago:
Products that scale indefinitely to the masses earn indefinitely scaled pay as well. What’s far grosser is what the studios and their greedy CEOs earn off the backs of production staff who aren’t paid on the same model and are treated like props with no job security.
- Comment on Is there a better way to search for/sort mechanical keyboards? 1 month ago:
The amount of obsessive culture around mechanical keyboards has created a boon of great side by side comparison youtube channels. Hippo Tech is one of the most obsessive that I’ve seen.
I personally found myself going crazy with information and decided to go to best buy and just try some floor models. I never would have chosen Steelseries Apex pro and Logi g915 clicky as my favorites online, but they stood out dramatically in the side by side. Once you narrow down your switch type it’s easy to find compatible hitswappable platforms. I like Keychrons personally, but there’s many options especially for TKL

How many universities will abandon free speech rights for 10% of their budget? Hard to say, many abandoned them for less when students were protesting genocide.
