I don't get it. what is there to "deal"?? President Trump created the tariffs that Americans pay with a pen stroke. They could end it as easily? And as far as banning us chips to China: that is a security decision, not an economic one (though it hits Nvidia's revenue, poor guys...). It would be...

Would love to see the NPU put through its paces! That's really the reason for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and the price point anyway, right? To run local "AI" workflows, like a local LLM set. From what I can find, its the first ultraportable with an NPU. And other laptops w the NPU are much...

Its a loss in accounting terms. The loss is due to the fact that the H20 GPUs are no longer saleable at their original price, and this is their reduced value. It is a non-cash expense that reduces profitability for the quarter. Still an asset in inventory for sale, though. And you're right, I'm...

For user interaction on articles... maybe rethink what that looks like instead of forum posts, perhpas you guide it more like this? https://www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/a-german-news-outlet-got-rid-of-its-comments-section-and-asks-readers-to-debate-instead

Didn't realize the word here was substituted. I tried to say... Platform Decline or crapification. The term Cory Doctorow coined to indicate *decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve...

Balance between security and freedom is an interesting way to sell it... this smacks of "justification". At least bamboo gave a heads up, unlike Chamberlain last year. Though, avoiding updates isnt exactly a long term strategy. I love controlling my Neptune 4 via Home Assistant, integrating...

I have a big-swing request: would you include in this and future reviews if the manufacturer has Linux compatible software for their features, like screen and fan curve? I assume these reviews are done on a windows OS (even stating that would help). Or, at least, report how everything works with...

Maybe the two should have (still could??) open source the software and hardware they were working on. They could continue to build in their spare time or someone else could pick up the mantle?

You fundamentally miss the point. This is a Defensive Driving tool for bikers. Drivers are the primary threat to non-drivers on a street, and this is intended to reduce risks that drivers in 4,000-lb+ metal cages coming double or triple your speed behind you pose if, as the person in front, you...
