    time for AMD to step up, and offer discounts for complete AMD systems, intel's market share will take a ginormous hit.

    This is sad A core # increase wasn't possible in 7 previous generation (Nehalem to Kaby Lake) but it's possible to double the core count in 2 gens now that AMD actually offers competitive CPUs?

    you know you can charge while doing the checks, and truckers are supposed to take a half an hour break every few hours, and even with the 500 mile range that gives just shy of 10 hours driving time, which is a full shift.

    and you do a slow charge overnight with the charger providing power for the ancillaries.

    ashypanda got a reaction from Deli in The iPhone X scored 97 on DxO Mark calls it "the top performer for stills", just a point lower than the Google Pixel 2   
    these DxO mark scores are becoming as useless as geekbench scores, sure at first it was a nice to see a number given to how good something is, but now it's just a pissing contest, and seeing as DxO changed their measuring procedure every device needs retesting otherwise the score doesn't matter.

    well not many phones , heck one could argue the iphone x is also not really 4k. it's sill a very small sensor and a very small lens. so more like a sharp looking 1080 than actual 4k.

    I do get the feeling though if anyone is this interested in photography they should use an actual camera over a cellphone.

    burn in isn't much of an issue these days unless it's a display unit, or a really crap panel.

    ashypanda got a reaction from handymanshandle in Laptop for a week's salary?   
    for that price you're going to end up with a shitbox with a 3rd/4th gen core I, or drop down to sandy bridge, and you can get a fantastic work truck of a laptop in the form of a used business machine.

    ashypanda got a reaction from UnwiseCrown in Let's talk about the headphone jack for a minute   
    what we need is for all devices to adopt USB audio class 3.0, that way it doesn't matter which dongle you use, and it should work, but we also need earphones and headphones to come with cables which have a type-c plug on the end, so we won't need the dongles, also i'd be more behind it if there was a wider array of cheaper small USB DACs so you can easily pick and choose the sound signature you prefer.

    One super sleek and beautiful device.
     
    Bundled with it is an octopus of dongles which you'll have to connect to make it work.

    it's the same with sony all their devices have 3.5mm jacks, and most have IP68 ratings, granted they have chunky bezels, but like the XZ premium, it's the same size as the iphone 7+/8+ and still manages to fit the 3.5mm jack.

    ashypanda got a reaction from Sauron in Let's talk about the headphone jack for a minute   
    at least some high end IEM manufacturers have brought out cables with lightning, and type-c for use with phones, but some of those are still analog cables which won't work on devices which only have digital, and for IEMs with removable cables it's not much effort to just make a new cable, like my KZ ZS5s, i've got a standard 3.5mm cable, and a bluetooth cable which i can switch to when i feel like it, 

    but if anything it's like the DVI days, as there's the DVI-D which is digital only, DVI-A which is analog, and DVI-I which is both,  along with the dual and single link it is a confusing mess.

    ashypanda got a reaction from ArduinoBen in iFixit teardown shows iPhone X has 2 battery cells in it despite having worse battery life than 8+   
    would it kill them to make it 1mm or even 0.5mm thicker just to try at least attempt to get close or surpass 3Ah, that said a 2.7Ah battery can last a full day with moderate to heavy use.
