We literally have wireshark and similar utilities available to all of us to inspect every packet of data coming in to and leaving our phones. You can install pcapdroid right now to see exactly what facebook is doing and where that data is going. This is not complicated stuff.

Now imagine the payday and notoriety that'll go to the security research firm that is doing this kind of work on a regular basis and is able to definitively prove it's happening. Why do you think that hasn't happened yet?

Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.

The math on anyone always listening to everyone's phones doesn't add up and will not any time in the near future.

Thanks, I watched it but I must've missed that part. If it does turn out that the 900mhz boost to the compute fabric is at fault, Wendell seems to be implying it might not be possible to solve with a microcode update. I hope that's not the case but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

What I'm really waiting for someone to figure out is what makes the 13th/14th gen 7/9 series processors more prone to these failures compared to the 1/4/6 series and why the 12th gen chips remain unaffected given the minor architecture changes.

Commenter says it's a fork of antennapod like podcini is. I've tried podcini but wasn't fond of the interface changes and went back to antennapod. Wish the github page would list what makes focus different from antennapod.

Discussion starts at 9:10 after some technical issues.

Edit: Looks like what I have is the unedited version of the link you followed up with.

I have the video but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Anything I should look out for?

Unfortunately I don't think AMD (& Nvidia) care about GPU gaming market share when they'll be selling all the MI accelerators they can make using the same wafers at much higher profit margins.

As consumers, we're going to have to get used to getting mediocre offerings at inflated prices until the AI hype dies down or they find a way to use some of the other manufacturing nodes to make competitive GPUs.

I like what the Arc division has been doing lately, especially with Linux support. I am looking forward to what battlemage can bring to the table.

We'll have to wait ~ 2 years since the next round of AMD cards are rumoured to be midrange cards. The Steves are right that if A.I is still as profitable for both AMD and Nvidia by then, expect prices to go up for any flagship. It wouldn't make any business sense not to.
