Samsung is facing a labor strike for the first time ever. Apple is union busting. The FCC cancelled its affordable internet program. AI is all the rage with investors, but no one is using it.
Android trackers are FINALLY here! And, we should chat announcements at Computex!
It's surprisingly difficult to find options for laptops shipping #Fedora or any other supported non-ChromeOS flavor of #Linux from the #Lenovo website.
@thefossguy The current status is that #Qualcomm is touting #Linux support for these Snapdragon X ARM procs and #Lenovo is shipping two laptops with them, but neither with a Linux option. 😕
You may have seen the Snapdragon Sound badge displayed on smartphones or headphones and wondered, what is it exactly? Snapdragon Sound is an audio technology created by Qualcomm to improve the way you listen to audio on headphones or earbuds when paired with your phone.

In 9 Tagen geht die #Computex, die groesste IT- und Computer-Messe in Asien los... Heimspiel fuer mich in #Taipei und wenn ihr so ein wenig wissen wollt, worauf ich mich da konzentrieren werde 👉 https://www.metacheles.de/microsoft-build-2024-analyse-surface-event/ Microsoft hat in der letzten Woche schon nen guten Hinweis gegeben: neue Windows-Notebooks mit #Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs.
Watching this laptop buying guide by @SomeGadgetGuy after the recent announcement of Microsoft's Surface running on the new ARM chips from Qualcomm
Like him, I too am interested in all the new Laptops not only by Microsoft but the many OEMs (HP. Dell, Asus, Acer etc) that will hit the market in a short time, not for the AI features but for our usual day-to-day computing on devices that are now on a different architecture that will have long-lasting battery, run silently, and have plenty of performance for our tasks.
Also, looking into the chips themselves and what specs they're paired with the system RAM depending upon core counts, and performances
@RealGene@mountdiscovery
At launch it will be a massive pain and totally broken, but if we see SOME traction in the business space, it'll improve fast. Lenovo is already putting some pressure on there.
Just last week, Qualcomm announced better kernel support for Linux, and they've published an experimental debian build.
AI Laptop REACTIONS! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45Q
Checking out all the announcements today from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo! I did a live recording of my reactions.
Windows on ARM is getting REALLY exciting! Here are some things to look out for while shopping a new "AI" laptop!
🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:
Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!
◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life
Anyone with a phone, containing Adreno 3xx, maybe spec. 306/307 model could find some time to help bisect our failing CI? If you do, there is chance for less bug introduced in the future! #postmarketOS#Qualcomm#mesa3d
The United States has landed another blow to China’s technological advancement, by revoking licenses that allowed Intel and Qualcomm to buy and sell chips to Huawei Technologies, reports @engadget.
Huawei was hit hard when it was placed on U.S. trade restrictions lists in 2019, but a recent comeback — including the launch of an AI-enabled laptop powered by an Intel chip — appears to have renewed the government’s national security worries.
I still get a LOT of comments, from people who don't really want to learn about current ARM offerings, but like to speculate and complain about what ARM PCs can't do. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44Y
Before we start getting X Elite hardware, here's what older ARM PCs can do with SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful chips! It's a LOT more than you think...

Discord is getting scraped by a spy site. China wants Apple to drop all Meta apps from the app store! Twitter's Grok is spreading more fake news.
And next year's phone chips might be thirstier than this year's!

I'm really excited for new Windows on Arm laptops coming this summer, but it's time for Qualcomm to clear the air on Snapdragon X Elite performance... https://somegadgetguy.com/b/43E
Specifically, how much power does the chip consume?
I would only consider any of the upcoming Windows on ARM laptops with the new Qualcomm processors if and only if there is first-tier support for Linux and nothing is locked-down tight re: Secure Boot or TPM.
Some encouraging browser results for Windows on ARM! Google delivering ARM support for Chrome is boosting benchmark scores above Edge on ARM and above Chrome and Edge on Intel chips. 👍
We're simplifying this week's show. Apple is in regulator crosshairs, and a landmark case has been filed by the DOJ. Facebook and Google are facing scrutiny in the EU. Everyone on social media has suddenly become a legal scholar.
And I got to play with a new chip for laptops that might seriously disrupt how we use Windows.
