Headquarters in Singapore, close ties to the CCP and Huawei. It’s why Broadcom was named in the whole 5G fiasco, and why they will be in the impending 6G one too.

Factual answer no, no they couldn’t. The US Govt would not allow that to fall into the hands of China cutting off access to the closest thing to a modern node from a US company on US soil.

I just got off a call with HP and in it they detailed that they do enable BitLocker automatically and it's part of their onboard security platform for business and enterprise clients, it's part of what they call their HP Wolf Security which is a whole platform and part of their Pro Support and...

Giggles in 6000 lumens...

I built a machine with their most recent image yesterday and it didn't do this, but I can't say it wont be something coming in the future. But I do see that on April 26'th Microsoft added some new never before available (to me) options in the admin portal, so I really want to find a piece of...

We as gamers, know it's true, game developers, and journalists know it's true. It is 100% true, but Microsoft in their infinite wisdom seems to believe that Game Pass subscriptions will soar and this will be a bygone issue in due time. So at Microsoft, there are several very distinct camps about...

The other side of this is Game Pass itself is killing XBox game sales, there is a big internal fight over this at Microsoft currently because while subscription income is good and consistent it is flat and it is not covering the spread of game sales. So when a good game gets added to Game Pass...

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/intel-18a-cpus-on-target-for-2025-launch-ceo-confirms Intel please don't f' this up. One interesting sidebar to all this news is that in 2022, Gelsinger announced that Intel 18A was "ahead of schedule." At the time, he noted that it was scheduled for 2025...

4.4 Ghz in an iPad? The M3 in a MacBook hits 4.05

You can but in my experience, I have seen those keys rotate from things you wouldn't expect such as drive firmware updates, Bios updates, and supposedly (I've never seen it myself) Windows updates. So if I had to enable it on my personal machine I would tie it to an online account, to be safe...

On a business or enterprise side, this would be a Nightmare to navigate for anybody not already using an MDM which most small and medium businesses aren't, on the enterprise side it would be relatively trivial as PCs are more often than not auto-enrolled into their chosen MDM before they even...

Here's the catch, there isn't a password exactly, I mean there is but only if you have your devices registered to an online account, otherwise you need to use a USB key... This seems like a gross overreach. I know Microsoft is desperate to get more subscribers and what not but this is too much...

People are broke, and there is now a subscription for everything. People are being forced to cut corners and turn to other avenues to get their content, which obviously (yarrr) isn't part of a subscription. Apple arcade growth is flat, Sony PlayStation's growth flat, Microsoft Game Pass flat...

It could be as simple as the "Ultra" part being towards the upper limit for that form factor's power envelope.

Microsoft is so big and filled with so many clueless desk jockeys with so much pointless busy work to justify half their staff that shit like this happens all the time just because somebody needed to make a decision to justify their jobs. And the person who made the decision is probably some...

Yeah more than once I could not figure out why my battery just shit itself over a weekend.

I mean… no… This is intended by design. Microsoft has made it pretty clear to the business clients that it does not upload any of your data to the cloud for training or inferencing. They make us go through a huge flagging process verifying that all data shares in the enterprise are correctly...

But isn’t that exactly what the allnetworks flag does. Because implementing it requires you to kill all active network sessions before the flag will successfully enable which is easiest done by enabling airplane mode, enabling the allnetworks switch, then disabling airplane mode. Which should...

Nah, Windows 11 is already a horrendous overreach, taking that away or others like it would land them with a huge EU/California lawsuit for sure. Microsoft is skirting some laws enough as it is under the president that "well the others do it so we can too" and that may be changing in the near...

Just finished doing this on a pair of Win Server 2022 Standard installs. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf Because they broke it there too. Just skipped the part...

So Apple adds the flags to fix the issue in iOS13, but the wireguard-go fork that they are reskinning doesn’t support it so it’s Apples fault?

The M Series clocks down far better than the A series clocks up. I’ve got a bunch of the M1 Airs and Pro’s and they do some decent work. Far more capable in the Adobe suites than the A13 and A14 based iPads same for iMovie and GarageBand. We tested lots of laptop options for our media arts kits...

Palo Alto had me patch against this a week or so ago with a new version of the Global Protect app, and Microsoft patching against this is probably the cause of the “This update will break your VPNs” warning going about. It’s ugly and it looks like it’s been in the wild for a long time.

It might double or triple the lifespan but it won’t remove it completely, Apple only needed to find a way to extend the burn in problem outside of a usable device lifetime and longer than the Apple Care + covers. So if they can use cheaper screens and run them in tandem at 50% and that lets them...

You are looking for something that measures a process known as electromigration. https://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~najm/papers/iccad20-adam.pdf https://semiengineering.com/better-screening-needed-for-data-center-errors/ Intel sells a SKU of Xeon that has hardware built in for monitoring and...

A cellphone contains all the necessary hardware to be a surveillance team's wet dream, they have been espionage targets since day 1. Still, it's cool to see how they go about doing it though.

Yeah... When TSMC says "tell you what, we're only going to charge you for the viable chips that come off this node" you know those yields must have been terrible. M2 is on a mature node that probably is spitting out well over 80% yields, and the M4s are now on the commercial 3N node, not the...

Burnin is never going away though, it's almost a non-issue because it is an unavoidable universal issue. So OLEDs can have burn-in issues greatly reduced by lowering the brightness so if 2 screens running half as bright gives the same perceived effect it could greatly increase lifespan, but it...

I get that, I just used it as an example of an industry leader backing my point, the methods for Advertising video games haven't changed much in the past 10 years, print articles, TV spots, web ads, and cinema clips. Things they are paying large amounts for, if you look at a video game budget...

They gonna get sued, they still haven’t delivered the custom characters and items that were promised as part of the Deluxe editions.

The Bethesda office they shut down was almost entirely dedicated to Marketing, and their methods have not only proven to be extremely expensive but also completely ineffective. The Larian guys said it best “Marketing is dead”...

They will probably cover that in the MacBook presentation next month, as there was no M3 in any of the iPads that would be a false equivalency.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1J38FlDKxo Basically an announcement on the new iPads. TLDW; Digg has the least adds and annoyances for this as a written piece. So here’s that. https://digg.com/tech/link/apple-may-2024-ipad-let-loose-event-live-stream-blog

Microsoft tries too hard to appeal to everybody and ultimately fails at pleasing most. I’m just hoping Microsoft continues improving the Windows Subsystem for Linux and say by the time Windows 15 rolls around Windows will just be a compatibility layer inside there.

I love the options Intel vPro gets me at an administrative level I miss it when it’s not there so that keeps the bulk of my machines Intel.

I’m holding out for the 5080, maybe the 5070. Pair it up with something midrange of that gen on the CPU side. Just looking for a 15% uplift over my 3080Ti 5800x3d pairing.

Careful though, still lots of those naked 4090 boards floating around. The ones that the Chinese AIB’s stripped the GPU and VRAM off of to make workstation boards.

90% of the time the only number they look at is the price tag

Well there do exist AI models that take months to train but the algorithm it completes can be run on a 5w SBC. Find. Way to significantly cut down that training time and those sorts of numbers make for great presentation math. I’m that it’s technically correct so it’s not false advertising but...
