It's an outright fact that intel measures their foundry processes FAR closer to real figures than the others. The numbers have become almost entirely meaningless for several years now.
10/12nm from the competition is basically the same or slightly worse than intels 14nm
TMSCs 7nm IS very much similar to Intels 10nm. This isn't Intel PR, this is as measured, documented, reported by HUNDREDS of technical sites which follow this stuff.
Intel may well be well behind on 10nm, their 10nm may even be designed poorly, it could end up being a lemon! None the less, the intended gate size should be approximately the same as TMSCs 7nm.
The 10nm delays were hailed as "the end of intel!" and "AMD will destroy them" and other kinds of ridiculous things, over a year ago.
A year later and I'll say, these delays are very significant now, it's very likely that AMD will genuinely have a processor out that has superior process technology in it. May not be faster due to design but the gap closing faster.
Also, Intel 7nm chips will be superior to other "7nm" chips out there, since companies kind of just make up the numbers now. Intel 10nm = TMSC 7nm basically. Quite frustrating.
Regardless Intel needs this, 14nm is seriously long in the tooth for Intel and there are very obvious limitations to what can be done for efficiency, performance, they're very much running out improvements.
They should have simply restricted it more. Better age gate, or something.
That site appeals to a very very wide subset of interests, there's stuff there you can't get elsewhere and from my understanding, it's the majority of the traffic to the site.
Honestly there's such weird stuff there, it's great to make you feel normal, no matter how off you think you are, there will be stuff on there too make you feel very very normal.
But finally, Samantha Fox and headlights in a news article, meant something entirely different.
In more serious matters, I've driven in Tasmania and I can confirm without question, I've never seen so much roadkill in my life. So much so it was disturbing and creepy for my girlfriend and I. At least 20 dead things a day there, maybe twice that and we weren't driving very fast either.
I love how I install a new App, let's call it Chromulus I dunno I click start, type Chro - up comes Chrome browser and then Chromulus is underneath, I open it. 5 minutes later, I hit start, type "Chro" only Chrome comes up, wtf?
A day later, I try again, it's there. A day later, it isn't
This is literally an installed Application in the start menu with a traditional.LNK file which should be indexed and god damn prioritised first in search results.
NO, I do NOT want to search the web for Chro.
This has occurred enough time over enough apps on enough installs of Windows 10, that I'm with you 10,000% - that search menu is terrible and worse of all, is sloppy inconsistent code Broken is ok - I'm ok with broken. Inconsistent is the true sign of poor work to me.
> "Icons have also been added to the power and user menus"
Here we go. Did they decide to label them this time? Do they have any colour or shading? Do they even have a line / box indicating the shape and size of them or are they all meterial designed on to nothingness?
Modern icons are terrible, thank goodness I don't do first level support anymore.
It's kind of a merit badge in government to have one of these, for people who just want whatever they can get for free. Certainly a portion do need it but the amount of installs is clearly "oh me too!" In some offices anyhow.
That being said, one very believable claim, is that they promote more walking, as you're inclined to just walk over to people to discuss things, rather than use workplace instant messaging. Or any other thing you might say "I cant be bothered" on. Well you're already standing, so definitely more movement occurs.
However as someone with obscenely flat feet, poor posture, weak core, now in my 40s I'm noticing how most of my life, standing is very uncomfortable for me. I tend to sink into a hip and put all my weight to one side. Sometimes changing side. I imagine a standing desk would destroy me very quickly.
Finally it's all fine and dandy for a manager or someone with a need to move about and chat here and there, but I imagine the engineer types here on Slashdot are going to be concerntrating potentially for hours and hours on end. I need to think and ponder and test. I'm not so sure they suit the coder or sysadmin types of use case of a computer. Can anyone here vouch?
Firstly, introduce the right code for duplicate tab blocking.
I'm basically an ADHD browser, 100 tab average, 200 bad and 400 extreme.
When I open a new middle click Gmail tab, my fourth one of them, cause I lost the other 3. Use "pull to location" code, that will bring the existing open tab from it's spot to my new tab location, maybe refresh it. That alone will save me a heap of hassle.
Fixed tab width so I can read tab names. Some kind of tree or similar option to see what is what..........
Google have shown themselves an almost unlimited amount of times, to have no qualms killing a perfectly good service for fun, or to redesign it and make it horrifically awful. (I'm still using BASIC HTML gmail right now, I refuse to use that new abomination)
They will NOT have the balls to say "hey, this user interface is almost perfect, ok half the UI / Dev team? You're fired / on a new project, we do not need to mess with this" - nope, they gotta fiddle.
Big point here : - Google maps about 2 years ago had a major redesign. In doing so, you couldn't "drop the little man" on the map and browse the streets in person mode, AND have, a nice big, 50/50 split down the bottom of that pane, showing exactly where you are on the map, where you're facing etc. - you could do it, but it was a tiny little box in the left corner.
The 50/50 horizontal split (vertical would be fine too) allowed you to see not only exactly what is in X location at Y direction, but also _CONFIRMING IT_ on the map in the other pane (little yellow man, with arrow pointing the direction the other pane is showing you) It was a fantastic feature and I whined my ASS off in the beta and afterwards about it. It took easily 6, maybe even 12 months to add that function back. It was _ridiculously_ useful and they just decided to take it away, because hey! UI guys gotta fuck things up for fun!!!
That is only 1 example of products becoming significantly more difficult to use, something going from 1 step to 2, or 3 or 5 or not being possible. It's utterly inane.
I'm sick of the features I want, being relegated to the 'basic' phones, with the assumption that only the 'basic users' need them.
Try and offer 2 identical premium phones but with variations like headphone jack or curved non curved.
Samsung? Hello, I want your top of the line phones. I do NOT IN ANY WAY want them with curved screens, therefore, I assume you don't want me to buy your phones.
Google? Hi, I'm not fully into your phones, but you've _ensured_ I won't try them, without headphone jacks.
Huawei, I'm considering that new Mate 20 phone, it sounds half decent. Why the @#% (!!!) does the non pro phone, which has a nice FLAT screen, have to be IPS and not OLED? Having gotten used to OLED on a phone, especially in bed / dark rooms, why would you make a pretty damn premium phone and put IPS in it? When your pro model of the same phone is curved / oled but without a headphone jack.
I spent 3 hours not more than 24 hours ago and as someone who used to be a phone junkie, I had issues with every single phone I found.
Seriously, would someone just copy the Note 5 or 4 but put in a top of the line processor, nicer camera and a USB-C socket? I'll pay an extra $200 at this point.
The far left and the media have been beating this drum for multiple years.
If one were to take all the claims at face value, you would think that there's Russians in the bloody toaster. They're everywhere! Doing all the bad things, they ran the election, they hacked servers, "they" are every single account on social media that doesn't mean heavily left.
If you disagree with anything, you're not real, probably a Russian bot! Or a Nazi, clearly!
They wonder why people are voting differently to how they actually poll publically... As an ex far lefty, they're getting downright embarrassing.
Let me be clear I'm my responsr to you, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, exactly the same. Just got back in at level 1/2/3 (it's complicated) and I'm dealing with first level users at the age of 41.
You fucked up. So did I.
I've done second and third level only and is vastly superior. You need a new job, dealing with first level bullshit is for people under 35/40 (generally)

So you're basically entirely incorrect
Even with spectre, Intel single core is decimating amd.
It's a shame, I like competition, but you're simply wrong.

I mean it's a coffee shop, c'mon
That being said, good god is it terrible coffee.
Americans, my condolences, your coffee really is truly awful.
Yes it's quite broken.

Firefox handles duplicate tab opening flawlessly. At least it used to wth the plugins I had installed.
The pull to tab (my name for it) was perfect. Go collect the dupe tab and pull it to the location where you're now song for it.
Listing all your tabs used to be an add-on for Firefox called "tabs menu"
Some of these add-ons work for Chrome but unfortunately, they're not exactly as good as they were in ff

Hypothetically.... I've never seen office deactivate itself in 5 years. Suddenly 6 of then?
These updates didn't buy any chance mess with some of the kms activation cracks, did they? Hypothetically, of course! Just asking.
Hypothetically 6 friends and family members all of a sudden, hypothetically may have contacted me.
It does, but it takes a lot of it use for that. I'm literally on my 5th OLED phone.

Title should read "Samsung will copy everyone else, as usual, all phones MUST be identical, follow the fads, Apple is always right!"
Give Apple, surprisingly some credit though, they in turn haven't stupidly copied this awful terrible, stupid curved display fad.
This is pretty bad. A lot of areas seem to be only serviced by one provider, it's kinda terrible.

No America is about to COME OFF daylight saving time and return to normal time.
Although normal time is "correct" dst is more fun to live in (getting home with some light left)
I see these articles every year here and hatred from Americans about DST when you're infact LEAVING DST right now.
