I don't bother with these gigabit wifi router all-in-one devices. They're most low budget consumer devices that aren't really that great. Get a wired...

You're making me feel old, lol. My first home Ethernet network was on 10 Base-2 (thin coax) at 10 Mb/s. I thought I was hot stuff, sharing my 2400 bps...

I do it using Putty and Xming for nearly 15 years now. Works great for running on Linux while displaying GUI on Windows, all tunneled via ssh....

Not until one is freed from the shackles of their EULA....

[torsionbar28]

Yikes, you don't care much for facts, do you. Hint: one group came to charlottesville and received the proper permits to hold a peaceful rally. Whether...

Years ago, I spent way too many hours playing WoW via Wine. Never had a problem. Of course its doubtful my circa 1981 IBM Model M keyboard would be mistaken...

Maybe some day people will free themselves from Apple's closed proprietary ecosystem....

[torsionbar28]

Seriously, that is one confused trailer. How are we supposed to buy this game based on that??...

[torsionbar28]

Why $100? There are low end discrete GPU's available for as low as $35. You can buy a decent e-sports gaming card for $100....

Lol, what? Did you forget about the part where a total remote takeover of the machine was possible (and easy) due to a flaw in ME? Most security outfits...

[torsionbar28]

One point no one has made yet that I think is really quite remarkable here - this test was using the open source AMDGPU drivers vs. NVidia's proprietary...

It's truly amazing that the fastest consumer CPU's today can build the Linux kernel in around one minute. When I first started using Linux in the mid...

Havent felt the need to switch from ownCloud. I prefer mature and stable over bleeding edge and quirky.

In the future, 3D acceleration will be virtualized into the cloud, and will not require any hardware at all. All the greedy hardware companies will go...

[torsionbar28]

Like the low power SFF boards on the market, these are great for embedded applications like kiosks, signage, SOHO network appliances, music servers/players,...

[torsionbar28]

They are not sold outside of China....

[torsionbar28]

That's not what this is.

Since you didn't mention in which application, I'll assume it's the web browser. In Firefox for example, browse...

[torsionbar28]

Yes but there are supposed to be new POWER9 SKU's coming to market that are scaled down internally. e.g. SMT4 vs. SMT8. I would imagine these new scaled...

[torsionbar28]

For sure, especially in the datacenter. Low single-digit percent impact on AMD, with up to 20% impact on intel. Ouch. EPYC is shaping up to be a real...

Barf. Spare us the SJW nonsense, please....
