I’m not talking about the merits or otherwise of “unified memory”, I’m pointing out that because Apple’s RAM is physically integrated into the CPU, it can provide more memory bandwidth than regular DDR5 DIMMs.

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn’t QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.

With Apple’s chips the RAM is all on the CPU die so both CPU and GPU get the performance benefit. With Intel’s, none of it is.

Apple’s RAM isn’t as cheap as you might think, because it’s all built directly onto the CPU die. That’s part of what makes its computers so fast.

True that it won’t be a quick fix, but at least Keir Starmer seems to want to mend our relationship with the EU, while the Tories are still stuck in deep denial.

It’s a shame we can’t downvote posts lower than zero.

What makes you say the proposal was unpopular among First Nations people? The few pre-referendum polls of indigenous Australians seemed to indicate that the majority were in favour.

Because he’s still working on winning back the trust of the Jewish community.

In the early days they did satirise current issues, but it mostly seemed to be through a lens of 31st-century technology or social conventions. Nowadays, the future setting often just feels like window dressing for a story that’s really entirely about the present.

Do you think Amazon gets its goods for free?

While it’s true that the imbeciles in our (UK) government have tried to implicitly outlaw E2EE, there are no restrictions on VPNs here.

Then buy something physical – there are literally millions upon millions of products he can spend the credit on.

They gave him regular Amazon credit, so he can spend it on physical goods if he likes.

It’s Amazon, dude. You may not like their business practices but it’s a fair bet they’re going to have something you want at a decent price.

You’re saying you can’t buy to own anything… at Amazon?

They gave the guy £10.99 in credit for a £5.99 film, so they’re probably taking some sort of loss.

I came here to post exactly this. IIRC Matthew Smith said his playtesting rule was that, as long as he could successfully complete a room once, no matter how many attempts it took, it went in. Hardly surprising that doing the whole thing, even with infinite lives, was far beyond my eight-year-old self.
