  • 80 CUs is 7900xt, 4080 level. Would be surprising in APU.

    I just got a 7840hs mini pc with 780m igpu, and oculink for future. Very happy with it as I can play beyond all reason in 1200p high settings compared to 1650s that did 1080p in low settings. 60 fps with amd chill, and mostly under 80C, with few peaks around 85C.

    The 890m, AI370 are $700usd more, and under 25% improved gpu. 2x or 3x the 890m gpu performance can be acquired for $700 oculink solution.

    80CU APU, is going to be priced higher than AI 395’s 40 CU APU, which is already priced shockingly high. The next Xbox being a full PC can justify pricing, but usual gaming console pricing model is break even based on selling locked in games (razor blades) at high prices. 395 use case has mostly been to have a very large ram LLM at relatively slow speed. APUs for relatively portable mini pc mid range GPU tasks with external GPU enhancement for “desktop scenario” seems like a sweet spot, or laptop with mobile gpu for more combined portable performance per $, seems like it would always have an edge over “bleeding edge APU” for most people.



  • cooperatively owned

    This usually means employee, or sometimes, customer owned. You described fair taxation and UBI/freedom dividends instead.

    What needs to be nationalized with 99% shareholder dillution and zero compensation in the US is oil, weapons companies on the basis of their warmongering lobbying, and other zionist first rule over America media and political funding terrorists.

    UBI is first and foremost power redistribution. The wealthy stay wealthy, and through economic growth and faster money multiplier, get even richer even at higher tax rates.



  • So much more spending could be on Canadians. Even job subsidies for Canadian industries.

    We need to seriously question NATO membership. NATO is a US force expansion organization under US colonial control. Even if you believe the absurdity of it being a defensive alliance, Canada should understand the obvious that the only military threat to it comes from the US, and the other NATO colonies will not intervene to protect Canada.

    Not only with NATO/US always lie to us that Russian interventions are unprovoked aggression, even if Russia were militarist aggressive, our commitment to defend Europe is extremely assymetric (they will never defend us from US. We won’t defend Greenland from US either). If the US tells EU to help it destroy/isolate Canada economically, it will. Including buying all of its resources from the US.

    At political level, Europe and Canada’s values are only to gaslight their people in colonial subservience to CIA/US empire agenda. Canada desperately needs to stop trying to be the best puppy in the pen, hoping that tying a cherry stem with their tongue gets master’s approval, and make whatever US/NATO subservient acts dependent on trade deals.

    It’s blatantly absurd to expect reward for subjugation (stealing social/economic funds) of Canadians, especially when more than 1 penny will be spent on purchases from despotic militarist nation with declared intention to destroy us. Pretending that DNC will say “Look how much Canada still loves us by buying all of our weapons. Let’s be nicer to them instead of beating them harder”

    Aggressively decouple from US to force US to be nicer to us is ONLY path forward. That does not mean begging EU to choose us over the US, because they won’t.







  • sorry for Gemini link to prompt below, but google itself doesn’t provide any top page links to answering the question, or questions about “software wifi to radio conversion”. GrapheneOS does not provide the functionality. Seems like only process to transmit/receive at a different band is to use hardware that bridges from wifi signal to radio signal.

    modify phone wifi frequency to arbitrary frequency

    It is generally not possible to directly modify the WiFi frequency on a smartphone to an arbitrary frequency. Smartphones are designed to operate within the standard WiFi frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and their corresponding channels. While you can influence which band your phone connects to (e.g., prioritizing 5 GHz for faster speeds), you can’t arbitrarily set the frequency. Why you can’t set an arbitrary frequency: Hardware limitations: Smartphones are built with hardware that supports specific frequency ranges (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz in most cases). Protocol compliance: WiFi communication relies on specific protocols (like 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) that are tied to these standard frequency bands. Router configuration: While you can configure your router to broadcast different SSIDs for each band (e.g., “MyWiFi_2.4GHz” and “MyWiFi_5GHz”), the phone’s connection is still limited to the supported frequencies. What you CAN do: Prioritize a band: You can influence which band your phone connects to by adjusting settings on the phone (if available) or by configuring your router to have separate SSIDs for each band. Choose the right band: For faster speeds, prioritize the 5 GHz band when it’s available. For better range and wall penetration, the 2.4 GHz band is better. Optimize router settings: Ensure your router is set up to broadcast on the desired bands and consider channel selection for optimal performance. In short, while you can influence the band your phone connects to, you cannot arbitrarily set the WiFi frequency on your smartphone.

    After RTFAing, this seems to be Samsung just using an excuse to lock down their phone, rather than any specific order from EU telling them to.


  • Horrible ignorant propaganda infection to say this. Especially including Orban in your list. This is center, EU controlling, parties doing this. The “bad parties” are ultra conservative and anti immigrants, but their truly establishment-fear inducing characteristic is that they are anti-NATO warmongering. CDU, in Germany, has no problem imposing “populist” AfD inspired anti-immigration/muslim laws.

    These laws/policies are not “populist fascism” support for oppressing liberals. No one is demanding their phones be locked, and supporting political candidates who will do this. This is just expansion of “Republicrat” establishment fascism that no one ever asked for.

    You saying “this is all Putin’s fault” is just part of establishment fascist narrative of “you must be oppressed by war only budget, or Russia wins”.



  • Likely progression is simply that food gets expensive, and is grown indoors. Technology doesn’t need to fall, though when slaves are not needed, soylent green is a “utilitarian” use for them under rules based world order. Food capacity and population that can afford to buy it will match. Fewer people does mean fewer iphones, and more expensive at lower scale.

    Global warming, even at 5C, is more about increased misery and oppression, rather than mass deaths over a decade. Wikipedia will survive. The AI tech giants chatbots will explain why you need to die or be miserable until you die.



  • It’s a bit Data Center specific. Many are getting built. Business, and especially manufacturing, has always had big rate subsidies at expense of consumers. DCs don’t create many permanent jobs per MWh consumed though.

    It is easy to conclude that costs to society from increased electric rates, outweigh the benefits of tax revenue and jobs, utility profits, and big tech profits. Ultimate argument is going to be, if you are not extorted by electricity scarcity, and big tech data collection, then China will win at AI, so FU commie.
