Like Professor X and Magneto, Intel and AMD know when to team up and take on a shared adversary. The two companies have formed a new x86 advisory group to stem the platforms bleeding from Arms rapidly growing adoption. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, whose company is also part of the initiative, said the board will help drive software consistency and standard interfaces. Intel and AMD aim to find new ways to expand the x86 ecosystem with greater cross-platform compatibility. Arm, licensed for Apple silicon, Qualcomm chips and some Big Tech data centers, currently has a simpler and more flexible design. Compared to x86, Arm makes it easier for licensing companies to adapt the architecture to their needs. The new x86 group wants a more unified set of instructions and architectural interfaces. Intel and AMD believe greater predictability and consistency across their products will foster developer innovation and help the platform survive and thrive. In addition to the pair of chipmaking rivals, the groups founding members include Microsoft, Google, Meta, HP Inc, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Broadcom, Dell, Oracle and Red Hat. Epic Games Tim Sweeney and Linux creator Linus Torvalds are also members. We are on the cusp of one of the most significant shifts in the x86 architecture and ecosystem in decades with new levels of customization, compatibility and scalability needed to meet current and future customer needs, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger wrote in a press release. We proudly stand together with AMD and the founding members of this advisory group, as we ignite the future of compute, and we deeply appreciate the support of so many industry leaders.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/intel-and-amd-team-up-to-stem-the-x86-bleeding-205731857.html?src=rss

Nissan is the latest carmaker to join Teslas network of charging stations. The company announced that Nissan Ariya drivers can use the MyNissan app to find charging stations with plans to make the North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter available to Ariya drivers. The move to Teslas grid of Superchargers will expand Nissans charging network to 90,000 stations across the US. Nissans energy network also includes the Shell Recharge, ChargePoint and EVgo networks with plans to expand other networks as well. Nissan will begin offering EVs with NACS ports in the US and Canada sometime next year. Nissan Leaf drivers wont be able to use the new charging stations. Instead, they can still find NissanConnect EV and Services through the app. Tesla may not be winning the EV battle when it comes to its embittered Cybertruck thats now under its fifth recall, but its ahead in the charging battle. Stellantis announced that EVs for brands like Dodge, Fiat and Alfa Romeo will use Teslas NACS. General Motors started selling Teslas NACS adapter last month after a 15-month wait. Hyundai just started adapting its EVs including its Ioniq lineup to Teslas NACS system. At this point, nearly every major automaker has pledged to support the system, making Nissan one of the last holdouts.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/nissan-ariya-drivers-will-soon-be-able-to-use-tesla-superchargers-195026448.html?src=rss

Threads is sometimes criticized for not prioritizing real-time content in its recommendations. Now, Meta is adding status indicators that can show when a particular user is online in an apparent effort to address that need. The optional feature, called activity status, will display a green bubble alongside someones profile photo when theyre online. The indicator is meant to help users find others to engage with in real-time, according to an update from Instagram boss Adam Mosseri. We hope that knowing when your people are online makes it easier to have conversations. Its an interesting choice for a platform that still doesnt have direct messaging capabilities. Such indicators are more common in chat apps like Discord (Instagram, which does have robust DM capabilities, also has a similar feature). But Meta has said repeatedly it doesnt want to bring in-app messaging to Threads, with the apps head of product recently telling Business Insider there are no plans to add DMs to the app. The feature also doesnt exactly address many users desire for a feed thats more oriented to real-time information and conversations. Instead, Meta is offering the status indicators as a way to seek out users who are currently active on the service as a way of encouraging conversations that are more likely to get timely replies. But without a clear way of finding people who have that green bubble alongside their profile photo, its unclear how easy this will actually be.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/threads-can-now-show-when-people-are-online-and-using-the-app-194041928.html?src=rss
