1. Talks about 45 percent decline in stock value when amd /Nvidia declined by almost 60 percent in the same period.
2. Talks about Nvidia revenue growing by 50 percent in Q3, when in reality they fell 17 percent vs the last year. AMD's revenue fell too. Perhaps the author is confused that Nvidia's earning calendar runs 1 year ahead and they reported q3 2023 results recently, not 2022.
The mobile facebook website does something quite creepy. After you click on a link that takes you to a new website in a new tab, if you click on another link from Facebook, it is somehow able to close the last opened tab and open a new one.
The usage model that facebook seems to be enforcing is that you read the article that you clicked on, and then come back to Facebook so that they can figure out how much time you spent there. You can't open multiple links in the background and read them at leisure.
They are able to close the background page even when you navigate to some other link from the opened tab! The URL has no special facebook specific crud. How are they able to close background tabs in Chrome like this?
Facebook doesn't allow 2 accounts for the same person for account security reasons. This is also why they tried to get so aggressive with checking ID cards to create facebook accounts. So either you delete everything from your personal account before linking, or link it as is.
Yup. Content adaptive backlight control (CABC) has been around for decades. But I don't think any modern devices use it? Least of all "Pro" devices like the macbook pro which lay so much emphasis on color accuracy.
"MacBook Pro with Apple M1 chip: Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using pre-production 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom. The Apple TV app movie playback test measures battery life by playing back 1080p HD content with display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom.
MacBook Pro with Intel Core processor: Testing conducted by Apple in April 2020 using pre-production 1.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD; and pre-production 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from the bottom or 75%. The Apple TV app movie playback test measures battery life by playing back 1080p HD content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from the bottom or 75%."
The screen brightness curves can of course be differently calibrated. But if Apple really wanted to show a fair comparison, they'd have just specified screen brightness in nits directly, instead of using this roundabout comparison.
Laptop screens can easily consume 3-7 Watts of power, which dwarfs the SOC power, and makes up for ~70-90% of the total system power draw for watching videos. So if the brightness settings were really different (in nits terms), this comparison is quite disingenuous on Apple's part.
