    The advertised clock speed with all 8 cores isn't 2.4 GHz though. According to Notebookcheck, it's actually 4.2 GHz.
    I read that slightly differently: "Integrates eight processor cores clocked at 2.4 - 5 GHz (4.2 GHz with 8 cores)". I read that as base speed is 2.4 GHz, and can go to 5GHz for a single core, or 4.2 GHz for 8 cores.

    That's precisely the point, it can go up to 4.2 GHz with 8 cores. It's not 2.4 GHz for 8 cores like Lkrupp believes.

    Looks like we're on the same page.
    No. The rated speed is 2.4GHz. The Turbo speed is 4.2.
    You're not saying anything different than I am.

    2.4 GHz is the base clock.

    4.2 GHz is the turbo clock with all 8 cores in use.

    5.0 GHz is the turbo clock with 1 core in use.

    The user said: "AI tests the new machines and they are performing better than expected and not dropping below the advertised speed"

    The advertised speeds for all 8 cores is up to 4.2 GHz, not up to 2.4 GHz. No one expects a processor to only be able to boost to just its base clock.

    If it can't reach its multi-core turbo clock (as is the case here), clearly the implementation is not enough to handle the CPU. However, this is unlikely to be an issue that only Apple encounters. I would suspect other manufacturers run into similar situations with their laptops.

  • Google suspends Huawei's Android license, forces switch to open-source version

    KITAKITA
    Looks like a number of other major players are taking action too:
    Chipmakers including Intel Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Xilinx Inc. and Broadcom Inc. have told their employees they will not supply Huawei till further notice, according to people familiar with their actions.

    Perhaps we'll also see Microsoft pull Windows support as well in the coming days.

    There are a lot of reasons to like Android phones, most notably their support for open software and diverse app ecosystem. However when you want to actually use a phone for its intended purpose on a daily basis, nothing is as reliable and as secure as an iPhone. Most people reading these boards have never tried to use a Samsung phone. I have a bunch of them on my shelf. I can't imagine using one as my actual phone though. It is just a stack of useless annoying add-ons shoveled on top of a rarely updated Android operating system.
    I have several friends with android knockoffs, including samsungs. The UX was horrid, busy, confusing to them, etc. The devices themselves plastic and junky. Since I’m a software developer and techie guy they often ask me for help, and my advice is always the same - get an iphone. But I’ve seen them bounce from one phone to the next, forgetting the past failure and hoping for a different outcome. Rinse and repeat. 

    So no, I don’t know what these reasons to like the knockoffs is. To consumers it certainly ain’t your ideological position on open source software. Such intellectual debates offer no relieve to the daily problem of a poorly designed, unfriendly, shitty device. Have fun with open. How’s Linux these days? Linus still fired for being a tyrant?
    My wife is not tech savvy, but she knows her way around her android phone with ease. Could it be that your friends are just not technically smart? After all, they're not taking your advice.
    Based on his comments he's clearly a troll with anecdotal conjecture at his foundation. For a self proclaimed "techie", he has no interest in the technical side of things or even discussing facts. He isn't even capable of talking about android phones without calling them knockoffs and insulting anyone who says otherwise.

  • WhatsApp vulnerability left iOS open to spyware attack

    Bahaha — so much for the argument on another story that Apple “lost” the secure chat platform space, because WhatsApp is more popular and cross-platform than iMessage. Oops. So much winning when you put your privacy into Facecrook’s hands, lol.

    Apple needs to remove the entire universe of facebook apps from the app store. Also needs to find a way of making sure the prior installed apps doesn't work. Apple needs to get serious of its privacy policy.

    On one hand we have people complaining that Apple won't let developers write their own web browser engines. Software that is extremely complex and notoriously prone to security issues.

    On another we have one of the most popular chat apps, under the management of a company that has bucket loads of cash and programming talent - and it has such serious flaws that an entirely different app could be installed covertly through one of its main features.

    I am telling people not to use Facebook owned apps and they stare on me like a fool. Everyone use it..... Not that it is spyware by itself, but it allows other spyware in as well as we see now. That is a deal!

    From the article above:

    AppleInsider said:
    NSO develops and markets a well-known and notoriously effective piece of spyware called Pegasus. Typically reserved for government buyers, Pegasus is often used by law enforcement agencies to gain wide access to key device functions and data stores.

    Apple has in the past attempted to patch flaws in iOS and macOS leveraged by Pegasus, but NSO continues to uncover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in iOS to keep its product functional.
