As if this wasn't possible before digital ID was introduced. The only difference was that you got a conscription notice after you tried to leave and realised that you can't.

Sideloading via ADB remains open. The number of scams from grandmas installing fraudulent bank apps should reduce a lot though.

Ah my bad. Are you sure your cable can do 140w? That was the source of most of my pains trying to push 100w to my work laptop. Baseus and Anker have some good PD3.1 chipped cables that worked for me. What kind of charger are you using?

> Weird because LNL achieved similar idle wattage as Apple Silicon.[0] Why do you say it's impossible?

And where is LNL now? How's the company that produced it? Even under Pat Gelsinger they said that LNL is a one off and they're not gonna make any more of them. It's commercially infeasible.

> Honestly not sure how your statement is relevant.

How is you bringing up synthetics relevant to race to idle?

Regardless, a number of things can be done on Strix Halo to improve the performance, first would be switching to some optimized Linux distro, or at least the kernel. That would claw back 5-20% depending on the task. It would also improve single core efficiency, I've seen my 7945hx drop from 14-15w idle on Windows to about 7-8 on Linux, because Windows likes to jerk off the CCDs non stop and throw the tasks around willy nilly which causes the second CCD and I/O die to never properly idle.

> Adding to that, it is very picky about which power brick it accepts (not every 140W PD compliant works) and the one that comes with the laptop is bulky and heavy. I am used to plugging my laptop into whatever USB-C PD adapter is around, down to 20W phone chargers. Having the zbook refuse to charge on them is a big downgrade for

It's Dell, they are probably not actually using PD3.1 to achieve the 140w mark, instead they are prolly using PD3.0 extension and shove 20v7a into the laptop. I can't find any info, but you can check on the charger.

If it lists 28V then it's 3.1, else 3.0. If it's 3.1 you can get a Baseus PowerMega 140W PD3.1, seems like a reeeeally solid charger from my limited use.

> Apple Silicon is 2-4x more efficient than AMD and Intel CPUs during load while also having higher top end speed.

This is false, in cross platform tasks it's on par if not worse than latest X86 arches. As others pointed out: 2.5h in gaming is about what you'd expect from a similarly built X86 machine.

They are willing due to lower idle and low load consumption, which they achieve by integrating everything as much as possible - something that's basically impossible for AMD and Intel.

> The faster the CPU can finish a task, the faster it can go back to sleep, aka race to sleep.

May have been true when CPU manufacturers left a ton of headroom on the V/F curve, but not really true anymore. Zen 4 core's power draw shoots up sharply pass 4.6 GHz and nearly triples when you approach 5.5 GHz (compared to 4.6), are you gonna complete the task 3 times faster at 5.5 GHz?

I am 100% sure that if they put out a call for action and asked for hardware donations they would be able to get newer stuff. Ryzen 7 1700 goes for as cheap as 50$, DDR4 ram at supported speeds (2133 MHz) is also dirt cheap.

Poor Sama, let us play a sad song on the smallest violin.

Just please don't take it as a documentary. It's a disservice to the people that actually worked at the plant that day and portrays them as arrogant fools, which none of them actually were.

That Chernobyl Guy on YouTube did great breakdowns.

But how can you be sure that the info is correct if it made up the reference? Where did it pull the info? What good is a friend that's just bullshiting their way through every conversation hoping you wouldn't notice?

A third of the time is an insane number, if 30% of code that I wrote contained non existent headers I would be fired long ago.

Everyone who? Surely anyone interested would do the research after buying a shiny new CPU.

The warning argument is silly. It just means that your code is not up to par with the modern standards. -Wall is a moving goalpost and it's getting new warnings added with every release of a TC because TC developers are trying to make your code more secure.

Yes and they maintain their part of the code. The one they've been working on for 30 years.

I've worked on forks for certain Android devices with very primitive text suggestions that notepadqq provides and the difference in productivity between that and vscode+clangd is staggering. What do you mean there's a macro for anything?

TL;DR: AMD still doesn't take software seriously?

Every time I see this flowchart I get reminded that Slack casually sends half of my notifications to a sleeping/disabled laptop instead of my phone.

I also get reminded that Telegram has one of the simplest notification schemes in existence. Notify last used device -> If still unread after ~30 seconds notify every logged in device. That's it, dead simple, never missed a TG notification.

Kinda telling how Google switched to S0(s2idle) on Android since Pixel 3 or 4, fixed up most of their own drivers, submitted fixes to mainline (and probably to firmware developers too) and a few years later every Android device uses S0 and sleeps flawlessly.

Meanwhile MS have been trying to do the same since 2012 and there are still numerous issues.

I'm just glad my Lenovo Legion still uses S3.
