As a rule: don't bother with trying to "opt out" of data collection. Reject the collection entirely either by forcefully blocking it (ublock Origin for instance) or straight up not using the service.
A bet against Nvidia is smart. A bet against Palantir is not. Palantir has become deeply integrated into the surveillance states of America, and won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
This is really cool, but also totally something you'd think existing AI agents should have zero issues with. _Especially_ if they're supposed to be for coding, I'd expect loads of documentation to be baked-in, so to speak
Smart people know to choose AMD. OEMs heavily favor Intel for the brand recognition. It's the same on the workstation side, though AMD's market share has been rising quite fast (it's apparently at a 36.5% share) so I'm unsure if system integrators will keep pushing their Intel SKUs so heavily.
So they're not cooked, but they're certainly not doing well and barring a massive jump in performance or efficiency, they're not going to be making a recovery any time soon.
Not to mention, if an employee could usually write pretty good code but maybe 30% of the time they wrote something so non-functional it had to be entirely scrapped, they'd be fired.
What's the commercial use of having this data though? Or even law enforcement use? We all have our phones on us most of the time anyways, knowing where in my house I'm at doesn't really... change anything...
If you want to remove the 1.2TB data cap, you can either pay $25/mo and get Xfinity's gateway router "included" OR pay $30/mo to use your own modem/router.
On the consumer side, almost certainly not. Nvidia is a HUGE brand name, it doesn't matter how good and cheap AMD makes their consumer GPUs, people will buy Nvidia GPUs for the brand and prebuilts will stick with Nvidia for the name.
For AI chips... also probably not, unless AMD can compete with CUDA (or CUDA becomes irrelevant)
Yes, but for most people (I'd guess 99% or more), they would never know to use the above, and I'm those who did find a guide might have issues using adb on their likely Windows or MacOS machine.
