You should probably read the original reddit post... Spoiler, it's just some bs from a low tier tech sub written by a "power user" who fked up thinking he would rather save money and waste time, instead of doing the logical thing... $150 for a disk seems like a good deal compared to wasting hours of troubleshooting... -

Yeah, I mostly agree, but I am going to take a 50/50 split on this one. Normally I give zero credence to any company who blames an internal component for issues with their product. Even if the component is at fault...who chose to use that component in their product? At the end of the day, companies like Dell are responsible for the product they sell in it entirety, including all components. My reason for giving Dell a portal pass here is that a component as major as the CPU or GPU are not simple commodity. That component alone likely drove the consumer's product choice as much or possibly even more than the Dell brand. Users who might be upset with Dell for a limitation with the Qualcomm chipset should honestly ask themselves, had Dell not offered the product you bought due to limitations such as this, would you have bought an x86 Dell, or would you have bought an Arm laptop from another brand. I am pretty sure that 99% of people buying first edition Arm laptops, bought them for the CPU, not the brand, which means shifts the culpability of CPU limitations onto the person who made the choice, which is just as much the user as it is Dell. -

Was sort of sceptical about the unload page feature , just tried it and it does actually drop memory usage. 22 tabs open(1.65gb Ram) and after unloading Facebook as a test it dropped to 1.2gb -

Elon Musk doesn't want you to know Tesla's response to the NHTSA's Robotaxi questions by David Uzondu Recently, Tesla's Robotaxi service began operating in Austin, and almost immediately, the company decided it would prefer you didn't see its homework. Before the launch, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Tesla a letter with a deadline of June 19th to answer some questions. Now that Tesla has replied, it has requested that the NHTSA withhold the entire response from the public, classifying it as confidential business information. This isn't too surprising, as the company is notoriously secretive about its performance data, especially in areas like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. Here are a few paraphrased versions of the questions Tesla faced: How will the system handle bad weather or poor visibility? What happens if the system detects that it cannot drive safely? Does it pull over? Will a human be monitoring the cars remotely or in person? Does the system follow any existing industry standards for autonomous driving? When does Tesla plan to let other people operate their own cars as robotaxis? The feds have good reason to ask. On its first day, Tesla's Robotaxi service was caught on video making some questionable moves, including driving in the wrong lane against traffic, as seen below (full video here). The clip was also shared in our community forums, though you'll need a free membership to access the off-topic section. Here's another showing a Robotaxi dropping passengers in the middle of an intersection. For now, the service runs with a human safety driver (likely a Tesla employee) in the passenger seat. Billionaire Dan O'Dowd, a persistent critic of Tesla's software, felt the company's launch was lackluster, and the videos circulating online demonstrate that the technology is years behind competitors like Waymo, which has operated without in-car supervisors since 2019. For its part, NHTSA acknowledged being aware of the widely reported incidents and is in contact with Tesla to get more information. The agency's statement reminded the public that manufacturers self-certify their vehicles' safety, and NHTSA's role is to investigate and act on safety problems after they are on the road: This situation gets even more interesting when you look at the bigger picture. Musk has already been criticized for his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has led to job cuts at agencies that oversee his companies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for SpaceX, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Neuralink, and, of course, NHTSA. This has led some to worry about regulatory capture. As one cynical comment on Electrek's article notes, the official who signed the letter to Tesla, Tanya Topka, Director of NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation, may have put a target on her back just for trying to hold the company accountable. -

Have you ever developed a game for Xbox and Windows at the same time? To say that they are not the same operating system and the same DirecTx by chance?? It's obvious that it isn't, right? So what if Xbox uses HyperV? What difference does that make to a game developer? The PS4 is more different than the PS5, different operating systems and different APIs. The games are not backwards compatible However, a game made in Windows can be transferred to Xbox SX in a few weeks with little programming costs because they are the same API and the same Windows
