You need to provide actual evidence that it is.

How do you expect me, or anyone else, to provide you with the inner working details of Google's surreptitiously closed-as-fuck custom SoCs? That's the entire basis of the problem, it's closed-as-fuck and there is nothing that you or I or anyone else can do to verify that it isn't malicious.

At this point, you have to choose whether or not to trust the manufacturer. Given that the manufacturer is the most notoriously data-hungry surveillance corporation in the history of the entire world, I choose not to trust them. I wouldn't trust them, even if they were to claim not to spy on us with these phones. (Incidentally, that is not something they claim.)

    NYC uses ranked choice voting, so this poll result is expected. If someone's first choice was Cuomo in the primary, why should they change that? They can put Mamdani second.

    I agree with you, ranked choice voting does make the whole concept of primaries largely redundant. And yes, Cuomo, along with other party bourgeois, is turncoat for not endorsing Mamdani after the primary.

    Hi, are you able to share more about the power efficiencies of each type of sensor? Some cursory browsing of TI datasheets gives me the impression that both types use a similar amount of power. I may be missing some context, though.

    I did also find this cool report there. Could be pertinent, although from what I understand of the technology I don't see why you couldn't use the same techniques to save power with a digipot.

    It would be, if that were the case.

    This article is not alledging a systematic pattern of stick drift in the Switch 2, like there was with the Switch. It isn't even saying that so much as a single case of stick drift has been found.

    What it's saying is that the Switch 2 still uses potentiometers, a technology which can be susceptible to stick drift. You know, like every single other major console ever launched. So, as of now, we have no particular reason to believe that the Switch 2 will drift worse than the PS5 or any other system.

    That said, all the major players are dragging their feet a bit longer on Hall effect sticks a little bit longer than is warranted, Nintendo included.

    Isn't Argentina also being run by a sexist egotistical populist TV star who's destroying their government from the inside out? Out of the frying pan and into the fire...

    You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn't make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don't think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.

    Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn't a thing that exists?
