@redteam4ever Thanks a lot.This clear things up a lot.

@mariushm Thank you for the informative reply. So driver control the resources of the GPU (ram, shader, cu etc.) and get instruction from software what need to be shown. Driver come up with how to actually accomplish said requests by arranging the resources it has. Then translate the instructions into hardware languages using one of the APIs, for GPU to actually do the work. Am I getting it right?

Ya so I say they are apples to apples. so we have 3 layers, GPU, API and driver. Driver interact with software (3d object), then API interact with driver and GPU? When I want to GPU to do something, I have to first tells the driver, then driver tells GPU using API?

So I know openGL, Vulkan and driectX are apples to apples, and then there is GPU driver. But what is the functions for each of them? Can someone walk me through how, for example, a 3D object is drawn onto the screen and how openGL/directX/Vulkan and GPU driver's helped in the process? Much Thanks!

On a side note, I would choose a proper dashboard over a all glass roof for Model 3 and Model Y. Anyone agree?

Where i think EV shines is short city trips. They are clean, less noise, and range concern is no issue. For long haul transportation, i would choose ICE over EV anytime of the day. On the other hand, ICE does not come without any issue when they were first introduced. It's take decades and thousands of engineers hard work to get it to what they are rn. I just hope vendors can put as much attention to EV as to ICE and make the design to perfection, so EV can get affordable and reliable. 1mil of produced Tesla is a milestone to Tesla, but also shows how EV industry is NOT mature. I am pretty sure traditional ICE manufactures can produce 1mil of vehicles without shedding a sweat.

If gaming is the main use of this computer 16Gb is all you need get 3000mhz cl16 or 3200mhz cl18. either 580 or 1060 is just okay for now. Don't expect ultra quality 60hz with the new AAA games.

RN i am paying $41 canadian rupees for 4GB of data, unlimited call/text Canadian pays a lot more for a lot less of mobile services, that's a fact. Partly the reason is population distribution is really sparse (around big cities), so for ppl that lives in relatively isolated area to get mobile service, everyone will have to pay a bit more to average down the cost. The three ISPs have a large ground to cover, but with a really small user base. I was shocked that Canada only have 37Million population. Thats crazy low consider the land we have here. Does this totally justify the absurd extra that canadians are paying? i am not sure. But i do consider they have monopolize the communication hardware system long enough. Sure they build the infrastructure but most likely using tax payers money, so any move to force in more competition is a plus.

Am I angry, yes, is it gonna make me start researching every company that I buy product from if they are using forced labor, probly not. That's the harsh truth of the society now. heck, not all of the Canadians are standing up asking Tim hortons to raise their minimum wage on their workers, let alone ppl in other country that they dont interact with everyday. Damn human beings are doomed.

Thats because it's older model. i think start from either mate30 or p40 they lose google service. All the previous models will still have it.

Every company collect data on you. so it doesnt matter. However, since huawei phone now dont have google services anymore, I would not use them. I prefer to have google maps/youtube/gmail without any hassle (heard they can be sideloaded). All the spy things ppl are talking about is not really their phone. it's their communication hardware, such as the equipment in base stations and servers. Huawei watch on the other hand is okay. As long as they have good functionality and battery life i would consider them. I will need a smart watch that can at least last 6-7 days. I dont want to charge it every night.

i paid full price of a office 2010 for a mac air, which i end up not liking the OS so stopped using it and I have a pc at home. money so wasted.

I think its simple enough of decision. Step1. get the lowest quote of driving school price. step2. see if attending driving school saves on insurance, and if the save in 1-2 year of insurance gonna cover the driving school cost. if it covers, then go to the school, its worth it. if it does not, make sure you practice enough and there you go, a drivers license. just remember, years of real life experience is really what you need to be a good/safe driver. don't risk your, your family and other's life.

damn.... just bought op7.... then this op8 lite came. btw OP, you made a mistake for op8's spec. it's sd865 not sd855 processor.

Hyundai has delayed production since supply chain issue from china already. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/business/hyundai-south-korea-coronavirus.html

actually no. ebola can only transmit through contacting patient's fluid compared with this coronavarius transmitting through air. death rate means nothing if it can not spread easily. plus given china government is not really transparent about the situation, it's better planing for the worse for these big companies.

I do agree on the security on OS level. I was actually typing google service instead of android at first. If I am using google maps with my gmail account logged in, do you think my where about that is collected by google can be blocked by the OS? Is it possible? Same goes for youtube.

please just put the nail to the coffin... BB phone is nothing but overpriced low-spec junk with no obvious security advantage. as long as it uses android, the OS will spy on you anyway.

make sense. well then are those wall street guys just ignorant on this very simple logic?

form what i have read, they have weak data center business forecast and did not meet the wall street expectations. And wall street is really looking for a strong data center guidance (which intel gives them and see their stock raises ). This is quiet weird for me to understand: AMD's high-core count CPUs are much cheaper than intel's but somehow the data centers are not adopting very fast. Maybe they need more time for the adoption?

This is where I started. It's pretty old but gives the introduction for what is neurons, neural network, and back propagation etc. http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ then this for introduction to CNN http://cs231n.stanford.edu/ I think anyone want to join the machine learning area cant avoid these two fundamentals.

Lets see. I started to play league of legend 7 years ago and I have easily 2000+ games. Average game time will be around 25-30 min. that gives me roughly 1000 hours. Wow, i waste so much time on this crap.

How so? So airplane should not have security check? ATM machine should not have a video camera?

I am rooting for LTT. I dont watch every single video but as long as LTT is DIY sth crazy i will watch it. Personally, i don't like MKBHD anymore. The channel use to be okay with phone reviews, honest good and bad. but now, i feel like he is just repeating whatever the manufactures want him/the media to say. The one recent video i do like from him is the one he tested the youtube compression to the limit by uploading a video 1000 times. This is insightful and fun.
