It would look like bigoted, racist, sexist, anti-whatever is in the hive-mind of anger of the internet out there, but probably easier to understand than human poems otherwise poem.
Machine learning learns from what is processes and there is a lot of hate and bias out there to corrupt even the most well intentioned AIs.
Obviously I understand that the benchmarks arenâ(TM)t real world. Real world uses vary as well. You obviously have a use case that demands more. There are many use cases that would find the iPad Pros more than enough. Every use cases differs and can be affected by many factors such as networking, ram or storage for instance.
In regards to the 32-bit drop, I wasnâ(TM)t so much talking about cpu performance. I was more talking about the need for 2 versions of the same code being in ram, which indirectly affects cpu performance, and the ability to get rid of older methods that had been depreciated earlier. If you have 32-bit code and 64-bit code running, you have to have the supporting libraries loaded as well.
My understanding is that 32-bit and 64-bit ARM ISA are vary different from each other as opposed to x86. I donâ(TM)t know much about any possible performance penalty that may occur when transitioning from 32-bit to 64-bit and back, but I would expect at least a minor one.
As to the original article, I feel that there are quite a few people that think if it doesnâ(TM)t work for their use case, it wonâ(TM)t for anyone elseâ(TM)s either.
Some of the synthetic benchmarking has the new iPad Pros on par with the the newly released MackBook Pros with Kaby Lake i7s.
Apple is also much quicker to remove legacy APIs verse say Microsoft. iOS11 no longer supports 32-bit binaries and with them the need for as much older legacy code that had been replaced since going to 64-bit in the first place. Also having a limited amount of ram is advantageous to getting developers to not waste as much ram and make more efficient programs.
I find that there appears to be quite the number of programmers that seem to think all computers have 16GB or more of ram with a top of the line cpu and gpu and donâ(TM)t seem to test on anything less.
Apple isnâ(TM)t the only company making keyboards for these. Logitech has 2 cases with Smart Connectors, the newer of which, the Slim Combo, is generally better on the 12.9â model and any bluetooth keyboard should work perfectly fine f-keys and all. Most programs donâ(TM)t use the ESC key or f-keys though. Mostly SSH programs and remote desktop programs. Personally had to map the screen for ESC for ease of use with SSH.
It can easily handle email, web and other every day tasks. There are plenty of apps that can fit various needs as well. I know everyone hates doggles, but with the USB 3 Camera adapter it can even use ethernet and usb keyboards.
iPads arenâ(TM)t going to be for everyone or every job nor should they. I would place Linux, *BSD, macOS, Android & Windows all under that same statement as well.
iOS 11 is a big change for the iPad and I hope various things will be changed for improved functionality through the beta process. Currently the first Public Beta is quite a bit rough around the edges, but the overall functionality is quite improved for multitasking. At a minimum, the old method of scrolling through apps for split screen is ridiculous when you have over 70 apps that support it. Dock is definitely a big improvement over that.
I have one I use as a personal home server. I installed Linux on it. Only thing not working in Linux for my self is the microsd slot. In windows it has software to hook up a tablet or phone as a screen via wireless and USB cable as well. It has Bluetooth as well. Suppose to have 4 hours of battery life, but never tried. It is passively cooled though. They make a few different models now. One even comes this a laptop dock.
I installed thermald to keep it running a cooler temps to hopefully extend hardware life. Even supports hardware video decode/encoding under Linux.
I would be surprised, with this announcement, that the A11 doesn't include this new GPU. For them to drop the current GPU tech as they currently sell iPhones, they would have to totally stop making chips with that tech. 18 to 24 months would be iPhone "8" and iPhone "8S" for 2 generations as they have been doing. With a possible purchase of Toshiba's nand business, that would leave the modems, currently supplied by Qualcomm and Intel, and the display tech. Pretty much every other part is designed by Apple, including the nand controllers, now.
For some android devices, it seems like a month after release is asking a lot an update with these devices some companies make. And if these devices do get updated, it is a minor security fix.
I think an optional website file, like the robots.txt file, that web browsers would read optionally could be useful. Add it to html5 spec. Those sites that choose to support can.
Again optionally. Better self monitoring than letting government get too involved.
I am currently using Flash 18 just fine on amd64 linux with the help of Pipelight which uses wine. Works much better and with more sites than 11.2 as well.
The windows 10 updates are opt out. There are 2 settings. Share over lan & share over you internet connection.
Win10 has very bad defaults on a number of things. Reseting default apps without clearly showing that you can prevent it, many privacy settings, no parental controls without a MS account(i.e. requires internet to set up), forced updates & probably alot more. My thoughts on the updates it that they should have a setting to delay updates, say 1-14 days. I do think people should be updating, but knowledgable people should have the option to delay.
For myself, email is the social network for those that refuse to use Facebook.
I am on twitter, but that is more news aggregation than social media. At least for myself. I know one of my followers. I happen to follow them as well. less than 10 posts a year for them.
What we need is Solar Positioning System or SPS for short. With that we'd be able to track where those pictures were taken, as long as it is not outside the system.
I 2nd Openvpn. Though I don't think it is something you'd have to have on all the time. Set up the router at Loc. B with Openvpn so you can log in. Set up static DHCP addresses for all devices. You can then connect from A or work or wherever to check logs or allow/block a specific device. I'd use personally OpenWRT for the router's os. Set it up so that you son's devices are routed through a log of some sort before leaving to the outside.
I tried Inbox, but wasn't impressed. It strips so much of gmail away that it is basically "Gmail for beginners". You want filters, labels, etc, then it is worthless.
And I find most apps pointless. I generally end up using the actual mobile site more than most apps that said sites release.
I see a lot of people seemingly missing the bigger issues.
1. Savings over time with a new HVAC system The HVAC system in place has obviously been in use for 30+ years. In that time a lot of efficiency in these systems has occurred. In 5 years the school district will probably recouped a significant portion of that in energy savings.
2. Just replacing parts may work, but doesn't change the fact that the whole HVAC system is 30+ years old. You can't expect to just replace one boiler out of say 2 or 3 and expect the other(s) to last another 30 years till they consider doing the whole system.
3. Control system that it will be replaced with probably not much more powerful than a Raspberry Pi. Most of the cost is probably the AC and heating units and LABOR. The control part are probably the least of the costs.
FWIW. It is really bad that we have to have the Governments of the world to tell manufacturers to improve their products efficiency. Mostly I think of autos, but there probably are alot of things (Energy Star?) that have improved because of the governments rather than bringing the best product to market in the first place.
Parents won't want to jump through those hoops either so their children can read the latest whatever. With an in app purchase they could just buy a iTunes card and the kid can get them on their own. No credit card required.
I just like to say that the beta loads extremely better than classic. Classic is just terrible on my iPad. I understand that the beta has some rough spots, text looks terrible on linux Firefox for instance, but with the ever changing device choices, change is needed.

One rogue backhoe shouldn't affect a coast.
Just saying.
I kinda wish they had just named it the iPhone 6Se or the like. Small e intended.
For some android devices, it seems like a month after release is asking a lot an update with these devices some companies make. And if these devices do get updated, it is a minor security fix.
How long would it take for Android to get 21% of its devices to be at the most recent release? Already on N and has M made 21%?
Project name vs Public name.
Thanks +1
I think an optional website file, like the robots.txt file, that web browsers would read optionally could be useful. Add it to html5 spec. Those sites that choose to support can.
Again optionally. Better self monitoring than letting government get too involved.
They did a recall this year, if you are talking about the Radeon gpu problem.
Yeah, I like being at the top of this list too.

I wonder if Apple's rocky relationship with Samsung could be a motivator. Intel would love some of the iDevice revenue.
