      They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

        A device that surreptitiously gathers information on a target is called a bug, not a feature.

        It's not a bug, it's a feature we don't like 🤣

          What's easier in Windows compared to Linux? Except the fact that you have to install it, since it doesn't come preinstalled on as many PCs. But many people who think Windows is easy would probably still consider installing it difficult.

          it's easier because they've been using it all their life. If they'd been using linux all their life, they'd say that windows was too hard to use, nod oubt.

              My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

                      Well, not really, a bug is unintentional. Even calling it a design flaw is a stretch, it's a feature that isn't for your benefit.

                        Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
                        It exists and therefore it's bad enough.

                                Daves garage actually had a good video on the shared memory architecture recently that gives some insights on why apple designed this way they did. Don’t dismiss ā€œdifferentā€ as ā€œtrash.ā€ You sound like an idiot when you do and it makes it difficult for adults to take you seriously. PC and Mac are designed with different goals in mind, so they tend to make different choices in their engineering, and you aren’t going to like every decision either side makes.

                                This is not "different" this is "anti consumer non-sense" and you sound like a chud when you recite corporate propaganda.

                                  That's the logic of as long as it benefits ME I don't care and I support them no matter what they do. This same logic has been applied to all the shitty things done in history like slavery, war and so forth, and the reason the world is the way it is.

                                    I said ā€œusuallyā€, and I’m talking about mainstream distros.

                                    Also the original comment says ā€œthe whole OS is not ready for the general publicā€, which is also vague. I don’t expect the ā€œgeneral publicā€ to install Gentoo and suffer from this issue.

                                      If fascism was a passive philosophy that didn't hurt anyone then you might have a point. But as you can see recently it's extremely dangerous and ruins lives.

                                      You may not want to mingle with politics, but it doesn't have the same view.

                                        Of course that's not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.

                                          Shared memory is different to unified memory, AMD's got an implementation of the later with their "Ryzen AI MAX+" (ugh) systems, does quite well in benchmarks.

                                          It also doesn't hurt that Apple puts the RAM on the SoC and gives it a truckload of bandwidth. DDR5 is about 70GB/s, meanwhile the M4 Max is around 540GB/s.

                                          I didn't know AMD had managed to switch over to unified memory too. Managing that while remaining x86 compatible is quite an achievement!

                                          I think the next big thing will be when storage becomes as fast as ram and they unify that too, getting rid of separate RAM. Working with data directly in place could have massive efficiency boosts. But the industry has been trying to get it that fast for many years and still not succeeded. And once they do, separate SSDs wouldn't be possible, at least not as a primary storage, so it wont be an advance that makes sense for every use case.
