> nor are they really a software company in the same vein as some companies who make/create an operating system or an ecosystem from the ground up they are more of an parasitic website company with delusions of Grandeur.

Not a fan of Meta but this is a rather unfair statement to make. They're pretty knee deep in low level systems + hardware-software co-design.

But one is a press release from ARM and the other is a report from CNBC. How are the two the same?

By your logic, there shouldn't be a gazillion posts about Apple Events the day it happens.

Your quotation isn't being rendered. For a moment, I thought the comment was your own words. You were, turns out, quoting someone else.

That has not been my experience at all. My mom and dad were able to switch from ChatGPT to Gemini without any friction whatsoever. I myself round robin between Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT all the time.

I'm mostly talking about people running to buy a mac mini to run OpenClaw (which seems to be most of the posts I've encountered so far)

Are both using a PCIe switch? If one is and the other isn't, it could be about PCIe credit based flow control kicking in.
