I was just window-shopping laptops this morning, and realized ARM-based doesn't necessarily hold battery life advantages.
Plus they are not cheap either.
As much as people are making this out to be a Google thing, I think this is more about the security requirements many countries are imposing.

I'm curious how long until most users just don't care if their CPU has native x86 support.
As someone developing HPC applications, I generally don't care either, as long as the hardware has good fundamentals, and is well supported by the available compilers and profiling tools.
Honestly at this point the only reason that I'm aware of to prefer Intel for my workloads is the awesomeness of VTune.
How's the quality of the equivalent AMD or Arm tooling these days?
I think we are already past that point. With Apple Macbook, Google Chromebook and Microsoft Surface, we pretty much have all consumer computer echo system become ARM based.
Thanks to AMDs resurgence the server space is still heavily x86 based.

It's wild to me that Jetbrains has been making so many top-tier IDEs, languages, runtimes and other developer products for 25 years now and is valued at maybe $5B, meanwhile we have months-old "pre-revenue" startups releasing AI coding wrappers and raising money or being bought out for twice that.
That's pretty much the comparison between Tesla and old-time car manufacturers. Most people who are trading Tesla stock don't even look at other car stocks.

No price indicated. If you have to ask, you're not the market.

> Typically, swipe fees cost merchants 2% of the total transaction a customer makes — but can be as much as 4% for some premium rewards cards, according to the National Retail Federation. The settlement would lower those fees by at least 0.04 percentage point for a minimum of three years.
Waait.... the merchants pay for the rewards?
Yes. And that is why some places like food trucks charge 3% transaction fees instead of 1 or 2%

I don't think it is that giant. It is basically the downtown of a small town.
Would the battery and by that virtue these cars at least have a longer life?

I sometimes do find different prices for same products with amazon pushing me to buy product with prime shipping.
If you use an extension like Honey, it will warn you that a product is available for lower price without Prime.
