The 6900HS in the 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 has a default boosting behavior that keeps it at 95°C most of the time (on the user's lap). It might have a liquid metal thermal interface. Given these two samples, the original story is not surprising.

I just went through the Simple -> BBVA -> PNC transition. Yesterday when I installed the PNC app on my Pixel, I got the warning that I would need to allow storage access. But then the storage access prompt never came up. I just checked, the app doesn't have storage access but it works fine. Either they ended up not using the storage (maybe using a legitimate attestation API), or the latest (for one week) version of Android has a different, isolated storage API that doesn't need permission.

As domeone coming straight out of college, I disagree with your premise that threading is not accessible anymore. However, one possibility is that a proliferation of new languages brought with them new threading models and runtimes that all behave slightly differently. This makes many of the models look foreign.

It's probably a sweet spot between adding more CU's versus cache. Given their memory bandwidth is lower, alleviating that with cache makes more sense than adding more CU's.

If Apple currently sells you a house and you aren't permitted to put non-Apple electrical or furniture in, building codes are the framework by which third parties could be permitted to do so. We're already in the locked down house. Building codes are exactly what we need.

The first thing I notice in that comparison is that one chip is rated for a 45W TDP and other is 15-25W. While I think these cross-segment comparisons are exciting and show great progress, it's just not fair to the electrons.

I would be very interested in this as well but I fear Intel and Dell have some kind of exclusivity agreement for our beloved product line. In the meantime we'll all just switch to Zen2 ThinkPads.

Does this mark the first availability of a non-Raspbian OS for the Pi 4?

I've been disappointed by the lack of compatability at launch. I've only gotten Raspbian to work so far but it lacks a nice GUI for enterprise wifi setup.

I can't wait to try this out.
