  • Amazon reclassified as grocer by UK, subjecting it to more regulation

    I understand if the WholeFoods entity of the company is regarded as a grocer, but the whole of Amazon?! That’s just dumb

  • Benchmarks show that Intel's Alder Lake chips aren't M1 Max killers

    Serious question:

    What does an Intel Core i9 do that requires it to be as power inefficient in the same processing circumstances as an AS M1 Max?

    Presumably there's a reason why it draws so much more current to achieve the same ends? Are there features in it that are not replicated in the M1 Max? 

    I'm assuming the architecture is radically different, but what stops Intel from changing to that architecture?
    Nothing stops Intel from licensing ARM's instructionset or architecture. The main problem is all of Windows assets are written for their CISC processors, they cannot just go and change architecture, those assets would have to be rewritten, recompiled, and re-tested. Something that Apple was able to do because they planned the migration years in advance and prepared a solid version of Rosetta. PC manufacturers do not have the influence to pull such an act. Think from small software drivers to massive applications like Adobe's. Apple worked with Adobe on this for years as can be seen with their ARM versions of Illustrator and PhotoShop that were demoed as far back as 2018.
    Intel has also become complacent, they called Apple "a pain in the ass" when they demanded more performance per watt, they just wanted to continue on the same "successful" and continue to control majority of the market.
    Apple is now able to produce their own SoC specifically designed for a piece of hardware, they can build custom silicon for every product, from AirPods to AppleCar, something that no other company will be able to do.

  • Apple uses Messages colors to bully Android users, says Google

    Someone should remind Google that the reason Apple went on a limb and created Apple Maps is because Google refused to license turn-by-turn directions. Android had it on their crappy plastic devices when Apple’s premium devices didn’t

  • Canon ink cartridges become an unexpected chip shortage victim

    bloggerblogbloggerblog
    Ink cartridges aren’t as bad as we think. 
    These printers are sold below cost, ink is their profit. Also printing is not as popular as it used to be, fewer and fewer ink is being sold thanks to the internet.

    Apple led the way, now the others want it to conform. Yeah, sure.
    I never understood why Europeans went "whole hog" for WhatsApp. WhatsApp won't do anything until the user gives FaceBook access to their entire contacts, which you know gets uploaded whole hog to the mother roach. Before FB owned WhatsApp, it was the same way, and when the news came out that FB was buying the company, I was relieved to not have used it. Signal demands access to contacts, too, but doesn't upload or store them--or so they say.
    Apple messed up by being late to market with dual SIM
