X2 “Elite Extreme” probably in ideal conditions vs. the base M4 chip in a real-world device. Sure, nice single core results but Apple will likely counter with the M5 (the A19 Pro already reaches around 4,000 and the M chips can probably clock a bit higher). And the M4 Pro and Max already score as high or higher in multi-core. Real world in a 14 inch laptop.

It doesn’t “crush” the M4 series at all and we’ll see how it’ll perform in a comparable power/thermal envelope.

I don’t hate what Qualcomm is doing here, but these chips only work properly under Windows and the Windows app ecosystem still hasn’t embraced ARM all that much, and from what I’ve heard Windows’ x64 to ARM translation layer is not as good as Rosetta 2. Linux support is pretty horrible, especially at launch.

In practice, they either use system authentication if you use the implementation bundled with iOS/Android - and sure, that can be Face ID if setup, or other forms of biometric authentication. Both operating systems have APIs that allow password managers to provide their own implementation of passkeys, and in that case you have to authenticate with your password manager - sure most of them support using system authentication (biometrics) as well, but this could also be a master password or hardware key (which work very similar to passkeys by the way).

I’d argue if you don’t assume that whatever system you’re using is reasonably secure/private, you probably shouldn’t enter any passwords on that system either. This isn’t a passkeys vs. passwords problem.

Passkeys use public key authentication. This makes them very resistent to phishing attacks. It’s also not possible for a phishing site to request authentication via a passkey created on a the original website.

Yeah, but the old display supports VRR via VESA Adaptive-Sync. Nvidia supports that as well, but not sure if their mobile GPUs don’t for built-in displays?

If it is supported, I don’t see any advantage of having Gsync vs. standard VRR.

If not that’s a shame. Pretty wasteful having to buy the same display with different firmware just to get adaptive sync working.

macOS is included with every Mac, not free.

This is referring to sharing individual chats via the ChatGPT UI which makes them public and at least used to make them findable via search engines.

Yes, OpenAI still stores everything you type into their text inputs, but no, it’s not visible to the general public by default.

Yeah that sounds even better. What service do you use?

Realized today that borgbackup failed for almost 2 months straight on one of my servers (was a simple case of a lock being stuck). Finally setup push notifications via Pushover to notify on success/fail.

Would be awesome if you’d share your solution for the next person encountering the same issue :)

What exact GPU model? Kernel version? Have you tried it with SELinux disabled temporarily?

You’re joking but you could totally have 10 digital (or analog) clocks - in different time zones if you want - that popup a calendar with events from one or multiple of 10 different calendars in different colors and you can also set the popups to stay pinned until manually closed if you want to. KDE’s widget system is extremely versatile.

Yeah, in general Windows 11 just assumes a lot of things “for” the user, and if you don’t like it you’re often out of luck or have to resort to third party tools to restore previous functionality.

Try KDE Plasma, you can put one clock on your second monitor that opens a calendar…or 10. Whatever you want, really.

That was bound to happen at some point. Buying a Google device to then “degoogle” it never sit quite right with me.

Google Maps doesn’t pretend to be good at chess. ChatGPT does.
