Intel’s Q1 2025 earnings press release talked up their new AI-enabled chips. But these are not selling. [Intel] In the earnings call, CFO Dave Zinsner mentioned they had “capacity constraints in In…
ARM architecture 64 bit. It’s the style of CPU in your phone and MacBooks, known for being energy efficient and it’s performance is getting better too.
The big downside though is that loads of old Windows apps aren’t going to run on these as effortlessly as they would on conventional x86-64 CPUs from Intel and AMD.
The phones is the hardest one, there just is no practical alternatives to the main two. Even degoogling is centered around pixels and other mainstream brands.
I am looking at Nothing at the moment, I want something green and private.
I did see some work arounds for banking apps with harmony OS. I kight have another look.
There are barriers, I dont want AI or the crazy HDR processing but I do want a decrnt camera. I’d love a phone with hardware kill switches for loads of features.
Sorry I was mixed up, I dont trust Huawei one bit. I think they make great tech but I dont want them in my life.
I guess I’ll start with the “nefarious shit”. Nefarious shit like taking periodic snapshots of your screen (against your will) to feed an AI? That kind of nefarious shit?

Given where I live, I suspect my future computers are going to be something called Risk-v inside. Running HarmonyOS.
Which suits me fine as I de-USAify the rest of my life as my phone and my computer age beyond utility.

My next phone (probably in another two years) will likely be running HarmonyOS. My next PC (even farther off) is also likely to be running HarmonyOS.

I trust Huawei a fuckton more than I’d trust Google or Apple or Microsoft or …
And by the time I’m in the market for another phone/PC it won’t be just Huawei making HarmonyOS phones/PCs.
Yeah I’m not entirely sure about that, they are all the same one is just state sponsored.
HarmonyOS is their property, its not like they couldnt get nefarious shit into it
…
I don’t even know where to begin to unpack this.

Yeah…Im not defending microsoft here I dont use a single product of theirs outside work.
Im saying they are the same, with less oversights, tramsparency and more state complicity(or at least visibly so)
