Intel Xe (abbreviation for "exascale for everyone"[2]), earlier known unofficially as Gen12, is a GPU architecture developed by Intel.
I'm wondering if this is for the one of the graphics cards he uses for AI.
I waited a LONG time for Microsoft to screw up Notepad but they did it. For some reason, they seemed very resistant to screw up the task manager but I see now that they are finally moving in the right direction! The last step is for them to add a "let Co-pilot manage my processes" button for the enshitification to be complete! I believe in Microsoft's ability to intentionally harm their users. Don't disappoint me MS!
Why are they not a good idea?
Touch screen in particular are a bad idea as they require you look at them. However, decked out entertainment systems only serve to distract the driver from the task at hand.
You don't like advanced safety features?
LOL! NONE of those rely on something as finicky as DDR memory.
Navigation system that actually function?
Those aren't part of what make the car operate but rather an add-on. I have an old Garmin GPS device with updated map data in my car and it works fine.
Also this is largely irrelevant now. Modern safety standards all but mandate we computers in cars.
That's fine, I have no problem with ECUs. The problem I have is these idiotic and distracting entertainment systems. Conflating the two does not help your argument.
They aren't massive. It's a tiny system on a chip.
I didn't mean the literal physical size but the computation power and expansive (and poorly tested) firmwares. If you want to bicker about using more precise language then I would point out that I correctly pointed out that they have mass.
As for the rest of the computers and software that's why you're able to drive a car.
I am aware of this and that it takes a minimal amount of computing to run the entire car which is done on a robust MCU. Considering I drive an EV, that computing power could be even lower because it's distributed to individual components which means the ECU does only slightly more than manage communications and driver input. The total number of tasks do not need much memory or computation power. I'm not joking when I say that it can be managed using an 20MHz 8-bit MCU with 64KB of flash memory and 2KB of RAM.
Cheaper DDR4 memory would probably work just fine in most cars.
The issue is that DDR4 production is winding down and thus the price for that is also inflated. To compound matters, which RAM types they can use is dependent on the CPU being used. This isn't an simple fix and they contract out all the work for the car entertainment systems.
I think they will simply adapt an existing designs for a few years until DDR5 become obtainable since a new RAM production factory is expected to open in 2028.
That overhead whoosh wasn't from a Pinto exploding, it was the joke flying over your head.
they could stop putting massive computers inside of cars. I don't know which idiots thought these systems were a good idea but I think they are worst development since the Pinto introduced an integrated detonator switch into the bumper.
A $1200.00 phone, that's sounds fair.
That would be a really good deal for an iPhone 16 Pro (>$2300) but if If you don't want to get an iPhone, you don't have spend that much money In fact, you can get a Fairphone for $650.
X algorithm changed in July [2024] to boost right-wing accounts, study finds
Research reveals systematic changes to X's algorithm under Elon Musk. After his Trump endorsement on July 13, 2024, Musk's own post views increased 138% and retweets jumped 238%. PLOS One found hate speech is 50% higher than pre-acquisition, spanning racism, homophobia, and transphobia. In January 2025, Musk's Islamophobic posts accumulated 1.19 billion views in 30 days. Academic audits show the algorithm amplifies emotionally hostile, antidemocratic content, and that right-leaning accounts had higher baseline visibility before Musk even endorsed Trump. Cambridge research confirms rude, disrespectful, and false content sees greater amplification. The platform isn't just allowing extremism. It's designed to promote it.
Shitty twitter needs to be flushed.
2025 wasn't the first time and it definitely isn't going to be the last time.
They want to show something
And their viewers presumably want to view it.
I think there are a few reasons we have landed on the model we have.
1. People don't like unbounded liabilities. This is scary enough with regular web-hosting but given the huge size of video files, hosting them on your own website was frankly terrifying.
2. Most people (both viewers and creators) don't' want to pay actual cash for messing about online, so ad-driven services rule the roost, it's much easier to do that if you have scale.
3. Many of the major platforms ran at a loss for years and may still be doing so, at least in terms of direct profits. Afaict both Twitch and Youtube post revenue figures but not profit figures.
The authorities control all the exits sure, but unless they plan to search the devices of everyone on the plane, it's difficult to see how they could determine who was behind the mischief
The headline talks about eliminating the disease, but the body talks about stuff like reducing the number of deaths below some threshold, that doesn't sound like "elimination" to me. Am I missing something?
