Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.

Another casualty of the Warner/Discovery clusterfire it seems.

Not that Rooster Teeth were bastions of well-run businesses but still. If you have a favorite Warner or Discovery movie or show better get the DVD before its too late.

Well as long as we are joking about Tegra powered devices...

The Nintendo Switch: Am I a joke to you?

That was absolutely their plan all along.

If they wanted to do time-based discounts, they could just blast a 10% off coupon to every app user in a specific geographic area.

Plus they get the bonus of user data when people sign up for the app that they can ~~sell to the government~~ leverage for non-industry profit streams.

True disgusting profiteering.

I can't wait. As long as they keep the autotiling feature working as well as it does now I'm down.

This is pretty much my setup anyway. I run Pop Shell on top of Fedora and add dash to dock.

I'm just absolutely hooked on the autotiling built into pop shell.

If its an official spin all the better.

Hey at least you won't have to sign in anymore just to get automatic driver update checking.

There have been some smaller ISP outages in my area too.

There was a recently disclosed giant problem with DNSSEC that was suppossed to have been mitigated but I wonder whether certain DNS providers haven't been able to patch yet.

TLDR: Android 15 is going to keep the Android System Webview ram-resident at pretty much all times so that when an app needs a "web popup page" it will load significantly faster.

Here is an article from Android Central detailing how the component works at relatively high level.

Selling to Netflix? Psssh. The real money is in is releasing films in cardboard-cased DVDs at truck stops and dollar stores.

The latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.

I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.
