I was not happy with the review, as I have seen it total unfair, I want to see how good the Intel  vs AMD, not how good is DDR5. There should use the same hardware where possible e.g. use DDR 4 for both and maybe show one with DDR 5 as well. 
 
I want to see intel vs AMD (both with DDR 4) and intel vs AMD (with intel DDR 5).  
 
Intel CPU look good so far, I cannot wait until seeing the new AMD CPU with DDR 5 and we can have some fair benchmark. 
 
Also, it is sad that  Windows 11 could cause problems as well. Maybe we get better and fair benchmark later on. 
 
 

There loads of precedent for this  (e.g. United States v. Microsoft Corp (2001), Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. United States (1911) ..) with the  Standard Oil Co the company had to break up. If US government want to brought charges against Apple for monopolistic behaviour or antitrust violations there could but it all political, Also have the power to break up them as well. 

This want I did, I love computer when I was kid and still do, but did not really know what to do in it. So I start a computer science degree that more or less the same in the first year but you can pick a route after first year, It give you a should an idea what area in computing you really into. The degree had two routes one was network / server and the other was software developer. I found network really boring in year one but love software developer, so want that rote for next two years.  
 
There a lot in computing more than just programming or network / server, a computer science degree show you a lot more and help you more them people who did not do one. 

Yes and no, that is the cost, but it cost less as it is very slow to read from, (could be tapes drives) and made for someone who only access file once a year or longer (e.g. backups). Note that data transfer going in to google cloud is free but outgoing you would have to pay, also Operations (insert,get...)  cost is on top. This could be really cheap if you want to keep data that not going be use for years. There could be other cost like backup (more than one copy in different area of the world). It would be way cheaper than front line data store like  AWS S3 Glacier:or Google cloud Standard Storage. 

Pretty sure memory leaks is purely a software issues. It generally means the software is not freeing up discarded memory which can occur if the game developers manually manages the memory allocation for a game/game engine.

EEC memory have nothing to do with memory leaks, so you can test this out.EEC memory old deal with error when data go to and from RAM (e.g. a bit is in the wrong flop). Aslo EEC memory cannot not stop a memory leaks,
 
What  memory leaks is when a program allocations an object in memory but forgot to released when no longer needed. A good example of this could be a game that keep make a new object in game then remove the object but forgot to release the memory that the object was allocations, so when a new object is made it take up new area of memory and not the old object  memory area as it was not released. When it keep happen e.g. maybe over a longer time the RAM that the program get allocations or available will get full up and the program will crash.
 
So it a bug in the game engines that make the memory leaks.

I hope not, If it do force Bitlocker I would move to Linux. I do not like full HDD or SSD encryption on user systems as it total under need, overkill and big risk of data lose if something go wrong.

Even with a TPM module so far 11 does not force Bitlocker to be enabled does it?

I do not see x86-64 been replace with anything for a long long time. To be true fully they a lot of hype on ARM, and it just hype. There no need for desktop to ever change from x86-64 to ARM. Also note that ARM is not new but very old. It bit like big small core thing, it great for mobile and laptop but pointless in desktop. There just too much software that work only on x86-64 for people to move to ARM. 

Also you can download Ubuntu from the Microsoft store and if you have the Windows Terminal installed you can natively run Linux apps from there. (altho it has limitations, don't ask me which im not that well known with it).
 
ps, yes you can edit the looks 😄

Raspberry pi 4 8gb of ram and runs chrome/youtube fine 🙂

The abstract of hardware and aggregated into a single pool of compute and storage is how thing are done now with OS deal with all of that and program make threads. 
 
One Instruction Set Computer (OISC)  is a cool idea, but it really only theoretical concept with no real world use other than research and aids in teaching computer architecture.
 
You could build a superfast and small CPU / Core with (OISC), but there is some colossal downside. 
 
1. I not sure how thing like multitasking, threading and cores would work as there is no Instructions to change task or thread. It is maybe possible not at all. 
 
2. Here is the main problem is that the amount of Instructions that each program would need to do a simple task would be colossal, I would think of a 4mb program on x86 or ARM needed to be over 1gb or more. (just a guess on the amount), when you need 10 Instructions just to do one simple Instruction in (x86,ARM) like "NOT a" you can see the problem.  
 
This could work be used to make you own CPU at home or in Minecraft as it simple but not useful in real world like PC, Laptop, Server, Robots or anything else. 

I save on Ubereats orders a few time, it does not work all the time as you have to wait for new code to come out. Most code on site can only be use ones. It works sometime on some site. Amazon it does not work at all but not all site have coupons. 

I do not understand why people think old stuff is bad or legacy stuff that not how software works. There really not anything that old standards, there no standards for software at all. 
 
Having legacy stuff can be great for the users and programs, may time new thing are worse, e.g. Windows 7 GUI vs Windows 10 GUI. I like Windows 7 GUI far more. 
 
Having  legacy stuff mean I do not need to buy all new software for every new OS. 
 
A program made with Cobol could easily run a wall or maybe better than something make a new language like Java as it has less overhead not to do with ago on ARM. 
 
You build on top of greater not reinventing the wheel. 
 
New != Good 
 
Old != Bad
 
Legacy != Bad
 

I think you misunderstand, they no legacy instruction sets, and ARM architecture is not a new type of instruction sets at all. X86 come out in 1985, where ARM come out in 1985. There the same age but the different is X86 is a CISC and ARM is RISC base. New is not all better, have look at Itanium that come out in 2001. 
 
It also unfair to compare x86-64 that is on 14nm to a 5nm CPU.  You need to compare a 14nm to a 14nm to see how efficient there are to each other.  Also, note that Intel and AMD aim for performance over efficient, If Intel or ARM aim for efficiently over performance then you may find x86-64 may be as efficient or more them ARM with more performance in different area.  As CISC more instructions for may different area you can find that is high performance, Some instruction can do same as thing in one go and not take like 3 or more instruction to do with RISC. 
 
RISC uses small type of instructions  but many to do a job, where CISC just one instruction to do the same job. 
 
Also note that PowerPC was a RISC base CPU like ARM but was not as efficient compare to x86-64.
 
A good example of CISC instruction, here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions
 
It's looking over time that ARM may move over to CISC.   Do look up Itanium that was VLIW and should have the benefit of CISC and RISC. It come out in 2001 !!. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium

I'm working a software developer, my tip do a BSc Hons Computer Science after the first year, you will know which route you would like to take, from software to hardware.  building a portfolio and experience is not that helpfully when you do not fully understand what you're doing and without a degree you will find very hard to get anyone to look at your portfolio or CV. A lot of people who just do portfolio and experience also miss out a lot of knowledge that can make a big different in many projects and in their career.
 
Note, certifications in software is really look down at and more or less pointless in the UK, most people I know only do them if the work pay for it and many have time limit like 3 year then you have to retake them, which it not the case with a degree that last a lifetime. 

I have work on system in the past that use coinbase, I can take now it  BTC transaction is not  visible and accessible nearly instantly to use user or the company as you have to wait 2 min to 3 hours for any BTC payment come though from the user side, this before any confirmation started. You can do it quickly with lightning network but that come with a lot of other problem, far more risk and very limited.
 
With real world volume BTC is very slow and costly, this just going to get worse if more people use it.
 
 

It look at history of computing company, the ones that most focus on hardware and OS like Apple have fail  Apple was luck and look like the only one that survive, that I know of. Some of them was really good computers and I would say better them Mac and IBM base PC. Here one of my favourite  Atari (e.g. Atari ST) , some other are: Amiga,
Commodore Business Machines (CBM),  Sinclair Research, Acorn Computers (BBC Micro) and loads more. 
 
As you can see most company fail due IBM compatible Computers take over everything, by still in on software it made easy for company like Microsoft to survive as there can easy move the OS to ARM or Power or new CPU and does not need to care about hardware sells. 
 
I do not think that Microsoft will make a CPU division but mostly just make a alliance as a joint project with a CPU company, maybe some like AMD or Qualcomm. This would lower the risk and lower the cost to Microsoft as it may not be worth well to build high end CPU just for Microsoft Azures and most likely not want to go full in to hardware. A good example of this is AIM alliance (Apple–IBM–Motorola alliance) Power line of CPU in the 90s. 
 
 
 

"Apple M1 = the rest of us are living in the stone age!? "
 
No! It good CPU but not that great. 
 
It only a ARM CPU nothing really new, I can see some really problem in getting to scale up without remove the RAM and GPU from the CPU. Also the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series is still better them the M1. 
 
Also have you hear the news on RISC-V  CPU with thermal and power efficiency? If true RISC-V would be in the better place to over take ARM.  
 
 
In the end it a OK CPU with some limited on RAM and GPU for now. I think there going have to remove the RAM from the CPU in the end or tier system  with RAM with some on CPU and other on the motherboard. . 
 
 

I use cloud computing for work a lot, it true out to be far more expense. it more pay as you go for anything like data sent from the cloud, it added up lot in small amount of time and I know it can easy end up cost more then a new PC every year and for something like CAD it can add up to more then a new PC per month!. 
 
You should look up Windows Virtual Desktop on Azure. 
 
Cloud computing is not cheap but far more expense

I get what the he try to say. 
 
Let redefined what YouTube qualifies: let say it a self employed or company (e.g. LLP, LTD, PLC...) where the core business is YouTube related (e.g. put video on YouTube, sell merchandise base on youtube channel), A good example  qualifies company would be of this (e.g. Linus Media Group). A example of company that does not qualifies would be (e.g. floatplane, CNN, BBC, Intel) as there core business is not YouTube related. 
 

No not a different platform both Intel and AMD are x86-64 CPU are same platform,  AMD and Intel have license to each other the x86-64 platform.  A different platform would be some like Power or RISC-V. Also note TB3 no one real care about due to USB 3. Also not much different with NVME and SATA SSD, but I come easy did the same with a Intel CPU and NVME.  Price to spec PC would win easy.
