its partially because the american pallete keeps going back to whats recognizable and what theyre used to, more than being adventurous and trying new things. because of that, fast food establishments keep pushing to simplify menus, rather than expand it. (both to cut down prep time and because thats where the money is). Id reckon a lot of it is fueled by nostalgia and brand loyalty. to take a generalized example that can partially be global, see opinions on coke vs coke competitors.

iirc from their last financials hearings, revenue from lower class orders have dropped significantly, however thr median buyer group has started to spend more to offset those losses. mcdonalds I think had 2% growth suprisingly while the rest of the industry floundered.

basically it’s people who wont pick a better place to get food proping mcdonalds

the ai companies are but that doesnt talk about the hardware specific companies. for example dell, hp and lenovo run a large business laptop leasing business if they do not get their ram, it will sour their relationships with memory manufacturers . they arent all going to be willing to take losses

theyd have to all collorbate to make that happen though, which is really unfeasable on their end. a BUNCH of companies will go under if they cannot sell product. they arent going to willingly take losses for the sake of a different company.

pretty much how I saw it. 10 was a push towards accepting all hardware configurations. 11 put restrictions in the name of security. so even if a user WANTED to upgrade, there’s technically a barrier that Microsoft would block them (albeit that check can be bypassed).

the statistic was around like what, of 100 applications, a quarter will likely reject you, and like 5% will actually respond back with an interview to some extent. the rest will ghost you.

thats often the life of a startup. most startups end up failing (~80%). the other 20% hope their hustle gets them big enough to be bought out so they can then relax more.

the people who work startups dont want to be working that job indefinitely. especially since it often entails being overworked.

ive been using beeper so its a matter if they kill the API in my case. (im surprised they didn’t nuke the API first)

you can gain lactose intolerance later in life, or produce less galactase to be able to break it down.

its not inherently what youre born with.

Im definitely of the group whose tolerance has decreased overtime.

although i prefer the arch paths for bleeding edge and rolling updates. Bazzite makes sense for testing because of the immutable.

A lot of more experienced pc users might end up liking arch distros later in their life, but I would never recomnmend arch based distros to people who aren’t comfortable with linux yet.

of course, partially why I brought it up. but a decent amount of people willing to take that ivermectin live at the border.

dont worry, the ivermectin will protect the people

Reading the article, kinda happy that different countries are working on different cancer fighting mrna options that currently are on different phases.

the only advantage i can think of is to maintain more traditional tablet aspect ratios. single fold phones tend to have a very square screen when opened.

hence why Mention the titles a bit sensationalist.

its using a gpu company that rarely does it, for the first time in awhile in a very specific way, as that’s not the title of the thread that OP links.

the idea of a laptop dgpu isnt new

the idea of a removable laptop dgpu(mxm)

the idea of a removable nvidia laptop dgpu isnt new(same as above, also asus rog flow attachable gpus)

the idea of a slottable gpu isnt new (frameworks 7700s came before it)

its the combination of the above which is pigeonholing the definition hard enough that it really doesnt have any real merit.

thr frameworks AMD 7700s came before it, so it wouldn’t be the first.

the title is sensationaliat, as the gpu part has been done before (mxm gpus)

the only industry first off the top of my head is the 240w usb c epr charger for a laptop

Nvidia’s stuff is AI, but things like MadVR and stuff aren’t. Even older upscales like ESRGAN is ML based, but not necessarily AI, as the terms been pretty diluted. if anyone wants to CLAIM that its AI, then you’d have to understand many of these algorithms existed before the modern use of FP16/FP8/Int8 based acceleration existed which defines the modern AI stuff.

I should also mention, the Shield Pro’s upscale was also pre Turing. the Nvidia Tegra X1 is Maxwell based.

Nvidia has been upscaling content for users using the Nvidia shield since I think the 2019 revision, and I think offers the driver level video streaming upscale since 2023 with RTX Video Super Resolution. The concept isn’t exactly new (and there are video players that basically have 3rd party upscale algorithms, doesn’t need to be “AI” to do so)

iirc theyre active on reddit talking about the situation. basically bloomberg lawyers probably striked it for a segment they included in the video, but GN thinks theyre fine because itll be covered by fair use. Basically nothing to do with the parties involved in the topics of the video.
