Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They're used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don't think you can hope for much there.

IBM argued that its patent, initially used to launch Prodigy, remains "fundamental to the efficient communication of Internet content." Known as patent '849, that patent introduced "novel methods for presenting applications and advertisements in an interactive service that would take advantage of the computing power of each user’s personal computer (PC) and thereby reduce demand on host servers, such as those used by Prodigy," which made it "more efficient than conventional systems."

According to IBM's complaint, "By harnessing the processing and storage capabilities of the user’s PC, applications could then be composed on the fly from objects stored locally on the PC, reducing reliance on Prodigy’s server and network resources."

The jury found that Zynga infringed that patent, as well as a '719 patent designed to "improve the performance" of Internet apps by "reducing network communication delays." That patent describes technology that improves an app's performance by "reducing the number of required interactions between client and server," IBM's complaint said, and also makes it easier to develop and update apps.

All I can say is yikes.

The other day it labelled the internet archive as biased towards centre-left. The internet archive - it's like saying a stack of blank printer paper is biased. Beyond useless.

With 30% ownership it could have been at the forefront of generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022.

Do they think openai invented the concept of generative ai, because that's what their statement implies?

At least it's symmetrical so it won't rock, unlike every other phone out there now, including the one I'm typing on.

When Algeria is too woke for you, you should really reconsider things.

It's easy to understand them when you realise that their entire ideology starts at "anything the US does or says is bad" and continues from there.

  • The US supports Taiwan and is against China? China good, Taiwan bad.
  • The US supports Ukraine and is against Russia? Russia good, Ukraine bad.
  • Israel, Palestine, same thing
  • Bosnian and Rwandan genocide happened? Well the US says so, therefore they didn't.
  • NATO bombed Serbia over their attempted genocide in Kosovo. NATO is the US, so Serbia didn't do anything wrong, but Kosovo is bad.
  • And so on, and so on...

Once you look at it through that lens, even their most wild takes suddenly become very consistent.

Shame he didn't have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.

If this was done by multiple people, I'm sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap

And it also removes Linux support. Typical Microsoft.

Then they'll just identify you by the sound of the printer being audible from down the street.

Seems it's exploiting vulnerabilities in some software called "Ivanti Connect Secure VPN", so unless you're running that, you're safe I guess. Says in the past they used vulnerabilities in "Qlik Sense" and Adobe "Magento". Never heard of any of those, but I guess maybe some businesses use them?
