Most non native games run okay under the emulation layers

That’s not the point. The point is commitment of Microsoft to its own platform and that’s lacking ever since the release of the first Surface RT over a decade ago.

Apple doesn’t just not port Apple Chess because it would run okay under emulation. Of course they ported everything. For years Microsoft didn’t even port VS Code despite the fact that even back then it was based on Chromium which already worked fine on ARM platforms.

Surface RT came out in 2012, VS Code in 2015, and the ARM port only in 2020! Madness! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/visual-studio-code-c-extension-arm-and-arm64-support/

Because legislation related to Stop Killing Games has not yet passed.

Every single game except Microsoft Solitaire Collection of the Windows Store.

Other than that, the only ARM platforms Microsoft Gaming Studios support are Nintendo Switch, iPhone, and Android.

If only the world’s largest game publisher, owner of Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Minecraft, and Xbox, would port their games to this Microsoft machine. Too bad this will never happen because Microsoft and that publisher, whose name escapes me at the moment, don’t cooperate.

You’d still be relying on Nvidia’s userspace blob for graphics. As you perhaps know, Nvidia drivers are always only one unimplemented feature away from functional parity with Mesa drivers that Radeons and Intel GPUs use.

Admittedly, not before there is Linux support.

It’s still Nvidia hardware. Fuck Nvidia.

I would assume those people will look at Microsoft’s track record of supporting ARM hardware, realize that the vast majority of Microsoft’s own software still does not run on ARM natively (14 years after Surface RT launched!), and buy a MacBook Pro instead.

I’m voluntarily paying for my LW account but the admins don’t know whose money transfer belongs to which account.

In the US it will be all rusty old death traps.

This description already applies to new Cybertrucks.

For hardware manufacturers like Nvidia: Massively.

If you read the comment I replied to, you’ll notice that it being 10 years ago is the point.

Even that guy told us this: https://signal.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoor/

How else would server-side AI summaries work? Don’t need insider knowledge here, just a bit of common sense.

Sent naughty messages on “secure” services in the past and now making sure they stay buried?

Cool, now check how much an Apple case with keyboard + trackpad for the iPad costs.

How is retail price related to Apple’s cost of manufacturing of a simple keyboard without touch ID?

And RAM compression is free?

Of course not but I’m not aware of a different impact on performance compared to macOS.

they seem to have better memory management than windows

Windows has RAM compression by default since quite some time.

Honor, ASUS, and HP are the first to ship laptops powered by Intel Wildcat Lake CPUs

Considering this is an article about shipping notebooks, the lack of product photos is astonishing.

Apple is selling far more powerful iPads for the same price and the only difference is the keyboard+touchpad. The cheap Neo doesn’t even come with touch ID.

if you’re saying they’re grateful for capitalism then you are crediting capitalism.

I’m not.

It is obvious that you think Koreans aren’t capable of thinking past surface level.

I do not.
