Quoting: NibelheimCheck networth and how AMD is crushing Intel since 2022. Sales don't mean anything.

I would want to claim that sales do in fact mean something, and indeed that things like stock market valuation can often be deeply misleading, especially these days when it can often reflect cannibalizing the firm by using all the profits for share buybacks instead of investing in the firm. Boeing's net worth was sky-high until certain unfortunate incidents revealed they no longer have the ability to build decent planes.

If a company is in the selling chips business, and it is selling chips, you should have a lot more confidence in it than if it is not selling chips.

This is not to say that I have a ton of faith in Intel right now in particular. Just, in your haste to rubbish them don't create a bad rule of thumb that will mislead you.

If Intel was beating AMD hand over fist again or if Xbox was doing good still. None of this would be happening and they'd be saying fuck off to everyone else. lol

I think it's less about Intel beating or not beating AMD: in sales for new laptops running Windows, Intel is still winning by a lot. I think it's about Intel fearing ARM.

Quoting: lectrodenothing about open source either.

i got my laptop back in 2015. it included an intel processor and an nvidia quadro k1100m. nvidia never implemented optimus support for it, even with the implementation of optimus support for newer hardware. i was never able to use the hardware that i paid for 7 years ago.

(the intel hardware worked fine, but it wasn't as powerful as it should have been without the descrete gfx)

about time for a new laptop - looks like AMD has some competitive offerings

Quoting: BeamboomOh ffs. Do even windows users use that one? What does the browser stats say?

It's actually more popular than Firefox overall, going by multiple stats websites.

not popular - people are just to lazy competent to google chrome

Quoting: GuestEven if Valve use their own repos, issues can still happen

Agreed, but that's on Valve to fix it. They are promising a console like experience after all.

I'm highly skeptical about this promise, as Valve aren't locking down Steam Deck to only run SteamOS, which could come back to bite them on the bum. Time will tell though.

Quoting: AussieEeveeTBF, this is one of those reasons why I always let updates go a week or two before I update. Windows taught me that updates can break things, and it's best to let an update get tested in the wild and hotfixed before I update.

I usually do the same honestly. I mean, I don't have a fixed interval, but it's around a week more or less (depends on my mood lol).
In the past I've also been on the extremes, doing it daily (or even more than once a day), or very rarely.
Doing it very rarely (e.g. once a month) was the worst way to do it, at least for me. The chances that something went bad were higher than any other strategy... mostly because identifying the actual problem was much harder when pretty much every package was a potential cause.

I think the (more-or-less) 1 week interval is great and also requires the least effort.

Quoting: axredneckI'm on beta, and i still have this issue.
