I moved from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p one for my main display and it’s actually really worthwhile. Not only is your daily computing sharper, but multitasking becomes easier because smaller windows are still legible.
IMO it’s a lot easier on the eyes when things are sharper, too.
1080p is still more than enough, but I think 1440p is worth it for a screen you’re using for hours every day :)
If the modern internet teaches us anything, its that everything is ephemeral even when you stringently catalogue every last byte of data. People just dont need access to 90% of YouTube’s library, yet Youtube has to pay big money to make 100% of that library available 24/7 365.
There’s already rips at the seams of these systems. Time is not on the side of YouTube.
Loongarch is a few years ahead of RISC-V atm. the fastest RV cores are comparable to ARM A53 (Raspberry pi 3-ish) whilst Loongarch is comparable to Intel Core 10th generation.
I think its a sunk cost thing. Loongarch was set in motion before RISC-V International was established in a neutral country, and now they’d be giving up a faster proprietary ISA for one that’s much slower atm.
The fact Alibaba is putting their money on RISC-V is probably enough of a sign that Loongarch will likely have a short-lived time at the top of the Chinese DIY processor stack.
Nothing about RISC-V disallows hardware-level surveillance. Most if not all surveillance hardware on our devices are really just super-low-power ARM CPUs. You can in theory just make a RISC-V chip capable of doing the same work.
I do think you’re probably right that it’s more about having exclusive control over the intellectual property and the ISA specification. RISC-V does allow you to close-source your chip designs, but the foundation behind it was only moved to a relatively-neutral country (Switzerland) in 2019, which is some years after Loongson moved to proprietary CPU designs.
They’re the only ones going proprietary as far as i know, most are going for RISC-V
try [email protected] as I’m not 100% on this stuff
but basically:
some third party hosts let you sign up anonymously with an anonymous email etc.
Only ever connect to the server host via VPN
Get a domain with anonymous WHOIS protection
Stick it all behind a reverse proxy
Technically Nintendo or whoever could demand your proxy/host to stop doing business with your account, but they won’t have enough personal info to go beyond that and you can just rehost it under new info.
I mean using matrix or any chat service is giving your data to someone else. What’s the distrust with revolt?
Looking at their git repos it seems pretty above board: multiple open source clients by community members, APGL license, docker images and backend repo all pretty accessible in one place.
No hate on Matrix of course, but theres a few people who seem to have the ick for Revolt and I wonder if Ive missed something.
You can run desktop linux on RISC-V. https://youtu.be/1apoFXZ9ad8?si=DMF37jRfUqRHRDm9
I think Nintendo would be a bigger player than they already are if they werent so hellbent on exclusivity with their consoles.
Think of all those people pirating their latest releases; a significant portion of those pirates are people who just don’t want to buy yet another device (especially if they have something better already).
Nintendo is pretty much a hardware company keeping its software wing attached with a very tight leash, and they’re losing out on both fronts for it.
Whatever you wanna say about the fairphone, LTT shouldn’t have any say in the review industry after their back-to-back lying to the public AND sexual harassment debacles. They’ve been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.
Linus is absolutely the last guy you should be listening to on anything unless he’s explaining how he managed to salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour and still coming out the other side a multimillionaire.
Wonder how much money would be owed to these devs if they were paid even a fraction of the average bethesda dev. The management of Bethesda knowingly relies on the thankless* labour of thousands of devs just to get their games to a playable state.
- okay sometimes they’ll offer you a tour of their studios but you still have to pay for the flights and accommodation so not really a ROI.
Excl. Nation-states which have their own strategic reasons- NVidia, Google, Amazon, IBM, almost every single big cloud player are going to begin investing in RISC-V as it matures.
ARM charges a lot for its licensing and that’s only going up in the near future. x86 is simply too expensive to compete for unless you’re AMD or Intel.
At some point the Cloud CPU players are gonna jump on RISC for the cost savings, and the prospect of building their own platforms without licensing fees and lack of input on the direction of the ISA.
