  • AMD continues to chip away at Intel's X86 market share — company now sells over 25% of all x86 chips and powers 33% of all desktop systems

    Jump

  • 100% agree with the last thing you said about checking latest info before buying, but...

    I stand by what I said about nothing AMD makes being even close to QS. Pretty much the only two reasons to need server side transcoding at a level where CPU is still relevant is

    1. Plex and clones.
    2. Security cameras.

    There's nothing worth mentioning that works with AMD.

    My N150 is transcoding 9 4k streams from cameras 24/7 and easily handles another 1 or 2 4k streams when plex needs it. All at <10W. At this load, it almost never goes above 50% cpu consumption.

    I'll definitely check current offerings if I ever need to replace my setup, but right now, AMD basically doesn't exist in this market.

  • Weird logic. I couldn't care less if it has solution to world's hunger if I can't access it.

    I realize some amd processors might have hardware video transcoders, but they are not even close to Intel's quick sync. Fact.

    I didn't really make any claims about why. I don't care. I was just supporting another person's excellent observation that brand loyalty is idiotic and only way to influence the market is to vote with your wallet.

  • 100% this. AMD is currently better for laptops/desktops, but my plex is running an Intel because AMD has nothing even close to Quick Sync for video transcoding.

  • I completely agree, but despite OP or Samsung looking better on paper, overall experience is just so much smoother. Shit just works. And at some point I began to value that over specs.

    Just for some perspective, I'm basing what I'm saying on OP 3T, 5T and 8Pro, Samsung S21 and Pixel 8 pro and currently 9 pro fold.

  • Nah, I'm not doing back to OP. I hate to say it, but If you're going to use android, nothing beats pixels. Not even close.

    If GrapheneOS manages to actually work with a decent hardware maker to get a phone to the market, I'll get that next, but only if Android auto and banking apps work. Phone's useless to me without those.

    Only reason I'd give those up is if I can get another Linux phone as polished as Nokia N9. Still the best phone I've ever owned.

    Not a popular opinion, but if those two options are unavailable, I'd rather switch to iPhone than use a non pixel android.

  • Oneplus had great success but then enshittified. Raised prices to match Samsung and Google, outsourced support to some place that didn't sound like they were even in the same dimension as any English speakers and took away their ability to help customers even by accident and finally quality of their phones went to shit.

    They could've sucked the Chinese government subsidy tit for another few years and would've established themselves as legit competition, but that would only delay inevitable enshittification by a few years.

  • This French highway fast charges electric vehicles at 300kW – and it could be the future of wireless EV transport

    Jump

  • Sure, except if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere it's hardly fair for everyone else (government) to pay for your decision. It's not like they owe you other utilities. A house you build off grid will stay that way unless someone pays to change that. Just like you can get well water and solar electricity, you can also get satellite internet. I suspect you're still comparing one of the Nordic countries or GB to US without realizing just how vastly different population density is here.

  • Maybe fiber runs through that location? Digging is expensive no matter where you live. Adding a km of underground fiber seems very unlikely to hook up one person, but I'll take your word for it.

  • I see this take a lot and I think by now most people should realize that this isn't really an issue of which president is in power. US has enough territory to basically fit some countries people compare it to into a single abandoned farm. Also individual states not only have economies that are bigger than most countries, but are also so wildly different from each other that pretty much the only thing they share is the USD. US does have trolleybuses, electric delivery cars and a fuckload of solar installations and charging stations in places where it makes sense. At the same time, running fiber in a place with population density of <1/km^2 or in a city where digging up the street costs millions in disruptions every hour is prohibitive.

  • Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell &ndash; and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

  • You can barely distinguish faces in 480p. It is useless. Technology progressed and there's no reason to continue generating ewaste. These sensors are actual trash. Aldi isn't selling old stock so this literal trash is purposefully manufactured only for people to discover it's not actually useful and immediately return it.

  • Not weird. It's ewaste. 480p in 2025 is trash. Eufy has 2k option for ~$60 on frequent sale with no subscription. So does Reolink.

  • Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?

  • Doesn't work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

  • Valid points. I use it for my media collection I can easily restore and won't miss. Cache would be sort of nice to have and redundancy would just be wasting space.

  • Mergerfs can do that too and you can keep the underlying fs as whatever you want.

  • This is what I do now, just trying to figure out why ff keeps spending time on profiles. Do they have any advantages over containers?

  • I think containers (that Firefox already has) are a much better way to handle this. Profiles, art least the way they are implemented on chrome, feels like a massive downgrade.
