(is it just me, or should the first two be swapped?)

I think the intent is that the first one is “chill” because it’s the lowest-effort approach for someone who doesn’t want a beard but can’t be arsed to keep fully clean-shaven. This guy doesn’t care that much, but probably shaves 1-2 times per week or uses an electric shaver to keep himself presentable.

The second is a more intentional style. It takes more effort to maintain stubble on your face and also clean lines than either a full beard or the “chill” guy’s style. This guy is probably doing daily maintenance on the lines as well as buzzing down the stubble regularly. So it’s less “chill” because it’s higher-effort.

However, the Snapdragon X Elite is not too far off the M3 Pro, as Windows Latest highlighted. It’s running at about 80% of the speed of this Apple SoC

Uhhh. 80% the speed of Apple’s second-tier laptop chip doesn’t sound impressive to me.

The line between user and advertiser is getting blurrier. They’re rolling out a feature where users can pay to “boost” their posts.

Meta’s boosts are a type of paid advertising that shows a Facebook or Instagram account’s posts to a wider audience. Meta frames boosts as a tool that many “small businesses” use, but it’s also being used by celebrities, brands, and individuals looking for more eyes on their content.

Paid boosts are a quick way to pay-to-play for engagement on Instagram and Facebook. They’re different from full ad campaigns, which can be purchased through Meta’s Ads Manager feature.
