Imagine buying a car and having the software updated to fix a critical issue, only to have it stop working because you didn't have an authorised repair agent fix the quarter glass after someone broke in to steal your stuff.
I looked on http://browser.geekbench.com/p... and it says "Geekbench 4 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 4000 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-6600U). Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance."
I scrolled down to 4000 and couldn't find the 6600U. If you scroll down further you can see Intel Core i7-6600U 2.6 GHz (2 cores) 3438
They're also saying, for example, a 16 core Threadripper 1950X is slower at multi-core than a 10 core Intel 6950X. Everyone else puts the 1950X at ~50% faster - it has more cache, more cores, more mhz, consumes more power and is a year newer. If that's how they compare two x86's I'd hate to see how bad ARM vs x86 is in their tests. They'd have you believe an iPhone XS is about a fast at single core tasks as a Mac Pro boosting to 4.something GHz
Don't worry, Apple will make sure the boot code is locked down so you won't be able to run your own OS and every software you install has to come from the App Store.
Dish says AT&T is blocking the channels. AT&T is saying Dish has decided to not broadcast as a negotiating tool. Which seems stupid as it only hurts Dish when their customers get angry.
If you believe AT&T, Dish is basically saying "Hey AT&T, we're going to fuck over our own customers and give them discounts and other free services, in the hope they don't cancel their subscriptions with us and switch to your wholly owned competitor, DirectTV until you agree to our terms. TAKE THAT!"
If you believe Dish, AT&T is saying "We're going to block the content your customers pay you for, until you agree to our terms, while your customers switch to our other business that directly competes with you"
It appears they need to constantly change the data going through the matrix computations. That requires significant memory bandwidth, especially if the data set is too large to fit in cache. On top of the bandwidth there is latency too. It's pointless doing a mac in one cycle in your 5GHz (0.2ns cycle) processor if it takes 40 cycles to address a new column in your DRAM (first word on DDR4-4800 is 8ns).
The latency hasn't got any faster since DDR2-1066 CL4, which is 7.5ns. It gets much worse when you need to address a new row instead of just changing the column.
The user manual says gases like helium can damage the phone.
exposing iPhone to environments having high concentrations of industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such as helium, may damage or impair iPhone functionality
yeah, they're better at handling shock and vibration, so when you drop your phone the cpu keeps running after the screen shatters. that will let them black list the serial number of the screen, so you can't have a 3rd party repair shop replace the front glass layer.
I used to do keep the ISP supplied router in its box and use my own until I upgraded to gigabit fibre. The supplied router for that was a halfway decent fritzbox. They're kind of forced to supply something good with those speeds, as the crappy routers can't keep up with the packet rate. Now the ubiquity router sits in a box.
Unless Apple chose a proprietary esim? Because, I don't know, they want to be like Microsoft was in the 90's with a "we're big enough for everyone to follow our stuff and not established standards" attitude?
Old radio chipsets with dual sim support used to only 2G connectivity on one of the sims if both were active. Apple just doesn't want to fork out the extra dollar for better hardware.
Sorry mr fud, the vast majority of Xiaomi phones are sold in China and India. Only a fraction make it to USA. There are no official channels for phone sales in USA. Their phones don't support all the LTE frequencies in USA. They all come with Chinese apps pre-loaded.
I very much doubt they have anything to do with Russia/Trump. Apple and Samsung are the biggest mobile phone vendors in USA. They're both full of proprietary software.
Because that's what the old laws said? Did you not read the bit in the summary where it says the law has been updated? You get prosecuted against the laws that were applicable at the time.
Nobody is saying the paid apps don't have tracking in them either. The developers will want analytics on how their app is used and if Apple won't offer something to get them that data, they'll use a third party.
So instead of the same company you've agreed to share data with (the one who runs the app store you're downloading apps from) you get a bunch of random ad companies in your apps instead, all with varying privacy policies. great, that's so much better.

Send it in to be fixed, that will be $300, thanks.
Obviously it's there to increase the attack area. Duh.
... yeah
Once they switch to their own ARM CPU's they'll totally open all that shit up.
you know, cause they do that so you can run Android on iPhones and iPads....

I'm inclined to believe Dish here.
Change your "GMT" to "CST" and you'll be correct.

Cars a pretty easy to hit, much easier than hitting a cat

if you had an iphone and there was a helium leak, you couldn't call for help.

Sounds like the secondary radio doesn't support the LTE bands that Verizon uses?

This is 2018. How do you not have LTE on both sims?
This was a restriction dual sim phones used to have like 5 years ago
Is it just me, or so other people think of Krang whenever they see the world "Clang"?

The Olympic sailed for 26 years. It was scrapped, not sunk.
The Britannic was doing fine until it sailed in to a mine in WWI.
There's a good chance any modern ship would sink when blown up.

yeah, it's not like iOS apps have ads or anything.
wait a minute...
