It's pretty simple: ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). All our campaigns are performance-based. If one segment provider/SSP does well, it automatically scales spending. Likewise, if the performance drops.
It is pretty sad to hear - we've had solid results with Oracle's Grapeshot (segment audiences and brand safety for programatic advertising).
We were meant to meet them in person next week but got cancelled at the last minute.
I've heard all products will run normally, and everyone still has a job. However, they don't know what will happen in the near future. I assume Oracle is trying to flip off all parts of the business; if not, they'll shut them down.
We use Oracle's Grapeshot (they acquired them in 2018) which is a solid platform for audience targeting and brand safety for ads.
The product is still working since the news broke this week, and my assumption is they are going to try and sell it on as it's still a solid product and performs wells and brings us nice ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
Starts from $549 for the barebones with an i9-12900H. You could argue it is a better option as it has an internal PCIe slot for a half-slot GPU, which will be much less bulk than a mini PC + eGPU. Plus, it would probably be cheaper since eGPUs aren't cheap.
Exactly. If you look at YouTube bitrate for a 1080p video, it's 8mbps, which is 1.67% of the theoretical max data rate of USB2 (480mbps), so there's more than enough bandwidth for CarPlay.
I remember when he used to live in Auckland (he lives in Queenstown now in some mansion) he could not parallel park to save his life. Used to see his car alot around my old office.
This is a good idea. You don't want to have a full-on Linux distro controlling your lights. You want something you can set up and forget.
You will feel a world of pain when there is some bug, and it will take you 8 hours to figure out the issues so that you can turn your lights on. The simplier, the better for these kinds of applications.
The problem is that most of the cheap Chinese (minus all the adware) don't have Widevine support, so you won't be able to use Netflix in HD.
Also, if you are sideloading apps, you'll need to do a lot of fiddling to get stuff working.
The Nvidia Shield is probably your best bet on the least amount of crap on there that still gets regular updates. You can change the luancher to hide the ads and lock down as much of the phone home with Adguard.
Also when you look at majority of Android TV devices, none of them get any update. The only ones that seem to do are the Chromecast TV and Nvidia Shields. If you're in Murica, you can pickup the new Onn box for $20 but being that cheap it will probably be phoning home more.
End of the day you just want your TV to just work. If you start having to sideload Netflix/Prime/Hulu, you're gonna encounter sooner or later spending hours just to fix it.
Just to give some context, I got the email letting me know my data was part of the breach.
I bought an iMac on interest free finance direct from Apple in 2014 via Gem (which is now lattitude). So I imagine everyone who has bought a Apple product on finance is going to be caught up in this. Also looked at the Aussie Apple site and they still use Lattitude for finance payments.
I agree - they would probably go straight to ASML.
But not having a fab means they're flexible to jump ship in the future if someone was ever to outpace TSMC.
Also, consider Intel's fabs, which were stuck on 14nm for years. This probably factored into one of the reasons Apple made the jump over to Apple Silicon.
Exactly. A53 cores are efficiency cores designed for non-intensive background tasks in phones to save battery.
The only decent cpu atm that will eventually show up in TV boxes is the Rockchip Rk3588, but they aren't as cheap as some old s905x chips, and software support is very early days, so it will be a while before we see them in any android tv boxes.
The key does seem to be you need at least a quad-core of high-efficiency cores. The Nvidia Tegra X1 found in the Nvidia Shield and Switch runs fine even though it has even older A57 cores(predecessor to the A72).
Compare this to rockchip's last-gen Rk3399, which only has 2x A72 cores (and 4x A53 cores) and is pretty slow compared to a Rpi 4 (but that could also be because of crap software support on the Rockchip side)
Tbh, Three was even worse when I rang, I just got a call centre in India, and they can never help you.
Does suck about EE for you. I've had a few issues, but they are okay with giving me credit. They messed up my discount on my latest contract, so they gave me a recurring discount of £5 on my contract and added like 3 months of credit on.
I also had an issue with BT (which I assume is the same call centre as EE). They never gave us the signup bonus (free soundbar). I waited six months, got the ombudsman involved, and someone high up gave me a call. They instantly realised it was pretty messed up. So, in the end, I ended up getting a Soundbar, and like £300 back in credit, so I had free internet for most of the contract, then cancelled as soon as I moved house.
But if it happens to you, always hint you don't want to get the ombudsman involved, and they will suddenly get their crap together.
Pretty impressive
