It doesn't have performance parity with Windows yet so for Linux a 7600/7600xt is better for gaming. Compute performance though is great in their other article so a matter of if you're planning to write ROCm or OneAPI code or just downloading applications and hoping for ROCm or OneAPI support

I'd copy you and drop the hardware. Just: you deserve better

It'll primarily be a gaming device but if they did ever push to be a HTPC type box, Roku is more vulnerable than Google and Apple I think. I'd love to see HTPCs get another shot at the living room and get app support from the popular streaming services

Really I don't know but I remember dealing with a dual vpn years ago with Samsung phones

The loophole in WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is simple: The recipient of any WhatsApp message can flag it. Once flagged, the message is copied on the recipient's device and sent as a separate message to Facebook for review.

That practically applies to every form of digital communication. Sender/recipient has it on their end unencrypted and passes/leaks it on elsewhere

Where I see this all blowing up in their face with Gelsinger's sacking and his successor

Pat Gelsinger served as Intel CEO for 3.5 years, and transforming a company of Intel's size takes a long time. In fact, all the products that Intel has now were developed before Gelsinger's tenure.

Desperate and end up shuffling CEOs and direction. Nothing against Lip-Bu Tan. He could be great

I may buy one depending on how Winlator development goes. The recent hype has been people getting Steam installed and installing games directly from Steam. Worse performance than doing a per game container and customizing but that's a hassle

Maybe by 2030 is when my 12 year old car will finally make me feel the hassle of buying a new car. Maybe it'll be cheaper by then. Maybe Vinfast quality control will be better by then

That'll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that'll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support

Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days

Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now

Steam Link Compatible, that's practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn't have a gamepad included

Heard of it because of the no SBMM thing, had to Wikipedia it because never bothered playing. Thing came out May 21st. If Concord hadn't bombed out in one weekend, this would be bigger news

B770 to hypothetical B9XX is what I'm looking for. Phoenix benchmarks because not many doing Linux benchmarks. 8700-8800xt or B700-B9XX for me next year

I think it's better ray tracing performance than XTX but rasterizing similar to 7900xt. So RTX 4070ti to 4080 performance
