Mr. Nice! posted:is that not still the case? depends, really. i have an 8-inch samsung tablet i really like because it has an oled screen which makes it the best for reading in bed at night. i wouldn't necessarily want to use it for much else, though, so i'd argue it has good hardware and mediocre software.

Wild EEPROM posted:which bad ipad competitor had the most laffs ExoPC Slate. Intel gave everybody who attended their MeeGo conference an ExoPC Slate running a MeeGo Alpha and lmaaao iirc there was a sticker on the back, which when removed revealed a Windows 7 key. Couldn't even take the free upgrade to Windows 8 because it was running one of those Intel Atoms that never got 8 support.

the words 'dual liquid-metal extensions of my body' have occupied some corner of my mind that would probably be reserved for the memory of my first kiss and will remain embedded there until the day i die right next to 'your wife will love the dual core Tegra chipset'

carry on then posted:yeah but that was still the era of people saying "why does anyone need an ipad when these are perfectly fine? steve jobs stealing another idea from bill gates!!!" i remember trialing a win 7 tablet for a project and, in addition to looking like a decapitated laptop that weighed as much, it proudly could get 3.5 hours playing a video and worse doing anything we needed them to do this was months after the ipad 2 release which weighed half with three times the battery life

floating point accelerators not units, these were not part of the instruction set like a floating point unit—or coprocessor as they were originally called, as they weren’t integrated physically into the main CPU no, floating point accelerators were peripherals you used to perform floating point operations so you’d have a library or in-line assembly macros to call the thing, and you might even have to arbitrate which process has access to it (depending on its degree of OS integration) and it was enough of a pain that it would only end used by Important Applications (and maybe locally compiled software) and typically it would be implemented as a board or board set about the size of your main CPU’s board or board set

in that same vein, the motherboards with an extra socket for the math coprocessor and then the ones with the socket but it was actuially fake and not linked to anything
