 Yeah, I don't disagree, but right now, at least as far as I can tell, it seems like a marketing term. So I'm just looking at specs and going from there and ignoring pretty much everything else. 

It's pretty funny. They've revised the way that we recall works after all of that backlash.

 Yeah, I'm definitely a little bit weary about it. I definitely spent a good chunk of today trying to figure out if it was just marketing buzzwords or if it really was some kind of specialized chipset.

 Well shit looks like I'm going to be getting some intentionally older hardware. The newer processor that I was looking at from Intel I guess has something called an NPU or a neural processing unit which not only doesn't have a lot of Linux support at the moment from what I'm aware of. It's a processing unit specifically designed to help with AI task loads and since I'm not doing anything AI related on this computer I'm not sure I want that in my computer. Glad I took a closer look at this. 😅

 Yeah! That's what I was talking about. 😤

Sucks that you're stuck with older hardware choices, though.

 Yeah. Looks at cars.
I would never buy new car nowadays full of spy software and similar shit.

 Nope. I am so far out of the loop for new stuff. I only buy older used hardware if I need something.
