MediaTek has been relatively weaker in the graphics department, so a partnership with Nvidia is quite welcomed. I can see MediaTek making a big splash in the PC market and hope this partnership extends into the mobile sector as well.

And Open Office. It would be good for the community to have two open source suites so there is healthy competition.

It's not great that Intel is pinning all its hopes on 18A. I guess we'll see how that works out. On a side note, I always felt it was better to buy during Intel's "tick" cycle. The toks seemed like a wasted year to me.

llms excel at questions asked in natural human language. For example, it's better than a search engine when you're trying to remember an old show or game that you can describe but can't remember the name. It's quite good for subjective tasks. For example, it can spit out templates, such as...

I don't have any problem with this device, but every AI gadget I've seen thus far, including this one, is nothing more than a software package that can be incorporated into any smartphone from 2017 and up.

Looks like it is the Settings app. Thank you!

While they're at it, could they fix the long-standing load bug with shortcut keybinds? If I want to launch my email app with a keybind, it will take 3 seconds to respond versus instantly if I use superkey+number to launch items from the taskbar. edit: used wrong terminology, superkey

OK, the Windows 11 team has definitely gone too far this time!

Why am I not surprised that Microsoft is heavily invested in collecting and dissecting the physical devices that hold user data?

Yeah, imagine Apple's next chip fabbed by Intel. lol

This is a good reminder for me to get another disk. My most recently one is 8 years old, lol. My oldest is 17 and it still works.
