The high prices at least should be obvious, a product using fairly sourced components will always be more expensive.

Probably. His ego was hurt when he lost to Biden, I think he would have run again in any case.

Putting in a generic screen with similar measurements is generally almost impossible. Looks like replacement screens for that particular phone are still available on Aliexpress though, so you could use one of those.

The museum island in Berlin. Just so many interesting artifacts from ancient cultures, you could easily spend multiple days there. (Just don't think too hard about what all those artifacts are doing in Berlin while you're there...)

Where I live, it used to be Twingos instead of Beetles for some reason.

I've never understood the logic of "US bad, therefore that other country run by a homicidal dictator is good". Putin's ideology is way closer to actual fascism than Western capitalism is.

Mate, this community is more left-wing than probably 90% of online communities. If that's already "fascist" to you, I can't even imagine where you'd put a place like reddit. If you apply that word to everyone you disagree with, it loses all meaning.

Maybe, but IMO a normal communist wouldn't go around defending modern Russia and China, authoritarian states that honestly couldn't be further from a communist ideal (despite China being nominally communist).

Just had a bit of a snoop on their profile and yeah... it's just a tankie being mad that people don't agree with them here. I imagine getting out of the Lemmygrad bubble must have been traumatic.

Haven't seen it, care to provide examples?

I suppose a better way to phrase it is- why is an NPU necessary? What does it enable these machines to do that a Surface sans NPU can’t?

It can basically handle neural network/AI tasks more efficiently than a regular CPU/GPU can.

And yes, these are business-oriented. But my question remains the same - is built-in AI a feature that businesses, as consumers of this product, are asking for?

Yes, deserved or not, AI is currently on everyone's mind in the business world. Working as a software dev, every client these days asks if we "do AI", so we pretty much have to reluctantly learn and use it. And many of those clients are very protective of their data and don't just want to put them on some web service, like OpenAI. So there's certainly demand for locally running AI tasks.
