I've found YouTube is suddenly pushing "Garuda Linux" videos at me from channels I've never watched. Either their algorithm is magic (because...

The last DFI board I bought - the X48-T2R - remains the only board I've ever purchased which was not stable at stock. OK, so I used it at stock for about...

AVX-512 gets "close" for our tasks... provided you throw enough cores and RAM at the problem (min. 48 cores, 96 threads). The main problem I...

[Paradigm Shifter]

Also true. I have two issues with cloud computing: 1) it's cloud computing and 2) it's cloud computing. More seriously, some of our raw datasets can...

[Paradigm Shifter]

Yes, agreed. It all depends on how it's implemented. We don't use Tensor cores (at least currently) and 99.9% of the time, 11GB/12GB cards are more than...

[Paradigm Shifter]

I'm actually quite excited to hear about this. Will have to do a lot more looking into it, and benchmark with some in-house software to see if it might...

[Paradigm Shifter]

So the cards I actually want to buy will still be as rare as hen's teeth, and massively inflated prices when they are available. The pre-Christmas price...

Also worth noting is that while the link to HP.com takes you to the base spec, the "Data Science" configuration clocks in at $8,100 ($8,750...

There are plenty of the small Celeron/Atom mini-PCs still available, but to be honest they seem a lot more rubbish than they used to - and I object to...

I use Windows for precisely three things: games, Microsoft Office and Endnote.

Steam Proton is good, but not perfect, and I can't be bothered...

[Paradigm Shifter]

I get that they're pushing the marketing hard, but... words fail me beyond that.

[Paradigm Shifter]

Because I meant to comment on that one separately, but somehow I buried it in the rest. Sorry for the confusion.

The comment which was...

Phase change cascade.

Alternatively, the entire motherboard becomes one big heatsink? (Think Asus TUF, but metal and actually useful...)...

I came for comments lampooning this with Snow White analogies. I was not disappointed. Top work, folks.

No way would...

Yes, I think it was earlier version(s) of Android which didn't allow the users to manually set permissions. Was it Android 5 or 6 which finally allowed...

[Paradigm Shifter]

And being a potential security risk, from what I understand, as if they're installed, then they can be accessed/run? Might depend on the Android version,...

Yes, it frustrates me that Outlook is so poor at searching e-mail. I can search in Thunderbird and find e-mails almost immediately, but Outlook? Slow,...

While I understand your point, when any entity has repeatedly shown itself not to be working toward the goals that they publically espouse, it should...

Interesting. I played with Solus when 4.0 came out, on suggestion of an acquaintance. I found it easy to install, easy on the eyes but difficult to tweak...
