Comment Latency probably sucks (Score 1) 20

I'd love to see some latency testing done on the memory subsystem of these laptops. LPDDR tends to have significantly worse latency than generationally-equivalent DDR products, which can really hurt performance of multipurpose CPUs in many applications. dGPUs can get away with GDDR and phones/tablets can get away with LPDDR, but laptops are expected to approach stock desktop performance core-per-core in many circles. And yes this may mean worse performance running everyday tasks that boil down to a lot of Electron-based crap.

Woksters? I see the proposal to take smartphones - and screens in general - from teenagers and adolescents as being a very progressive thing to do. I can see how some people might be opposed to it becoming any sort of law, but I see the suggestion as being solidly rooted in evidence. I'm reading "The Anxious Generation" right now myself, and the studies that the book is based on have exceptionally clear results.

Comment No truth in naming there... (Score 2) 28

Change Healthcare is part of United HealthGroup. They are changing absolutely nothing, aside from of course increasing revenue for health care executives. The entire industry is morally bankrupt and deserves this and much worse. Unfortunately we the consumers are the ones who will ultimately pay the cost of this.
