Comment Re:What is "poor" batter life? (Score 1) 48

This is such a bad take on the horrible power inefficiency situation going on with Intel right now. Intel P-series is a disaster. Their U-series is at least fairly efficient but 8 hours is a bare minimum baseline. Look at what Apple is doing with the M2 hitting 15 hours and achieving great performance. AMD does a solid job with Ryzen 6000 series. Intel just has no idea what they are doing. It's bad enough their HEDT CPUs hit 250W when AMD is hitting 150W. But where power really counts Intel should be doing 25W max or aiming at the 8-12 hour range across all their mobile CPUs. They need to fix this asap for 14th gen. What is the point of these E-cores anyway? Intel efficiency is terrible.

Comment This has been going on for years (Score 1) 195

People should know that Apple's elitist color coding of texts vs. iMessages has been an issue for many years. As a guy dating women in NYC in my 30s, I heard this *many* times about being a "green bubble" before I switched to an iPhone and this was one of the main reasons. Many women actually do care about this, perhaps simply because they are more trendy in nature. It's a good phone and iMessage is certainly great for chatting since it automatically switching between text and iMessage, but it's elitist by design. Apple won't even support RCS let alone sell iMessage on the Google play store. Unfortunately WhatsApp just isn't used much in the US so there are no options. Someday I hope to switch back to a Android phone, a Pixel of course, but who knows when.

TPM 2 is pretty much covered by CPUs in the last 5 years by the time Win11 ships. That's reasonably decent support timeframe for a new OS. I don't discredit for MS making this decision, even if they may end up relaxing the requirement by the end of the year due to industry push back.
