LMAO King Mucus spot-on assessment!

Sure is reminiscent of the Pentium 4 days, when intel's Prescott was pushing clockspeeds and TDP's through the roof, in an effort to counter AMD's superior...

Saw the title and thought Apple was shipping Ryzen laptops running Ubuntu.

It's the mouse version of a fast n furious honda. The stereo subwoofers and huge wing bolted to the trunk lid make it "faster". lol....

We recently bought a bunch of EPYC servers, all were 32 core single socket. They actually replaced a bunch of older *four* socket servers. But in general,...

Here's what it means: In the name of diversity, we must all goose-step to the same mantra, and in the name of inclusivity, we must ostracise and ruin...

Ok. It also completely misses the mark. They spend more words describing their idea of the "correct" type of people, than they do describing...

Because the moment someone malicious takes a drive out of the server, or takes the whole server itself, any data it contains becomes "data at rest"....

Early 2000's?? Try 1997/1998 in the Napster heyday! Ran Linux (and XMMS) on a *dual* socket 7 board with a pair of Pentium 133's. The combination of newly...

No no, this time around it's a *feature*, it's about empowering customers, you see......

The spec is 2666.66 so if we're shortening it to an integer, rounding to 2667 is appropriate and more correct than truncating the mantissa....

An intel CPU? And Nvidia graphics? LOL, no thanks.

[torsionbar28]

Insufficient laptop cooling has been a thing for years now, as it's more important to be thin than to actually perform properly. Yes, it's stupid. On...

HDMI is pretty well obsolete on the desktop. Note how all the past generation or two of video cards has moved exclusively to DisplayPort. HDMI is really...

[torsionbar28]

Amen to that, I remember spending way too many hours fighting with that trash. Mine was a Celeron J1900 mITX board that (on paper) would have made an...

While we're at it, the Windows OS kernel should replace the Linux kernel, and lets use NTFS by default as well. Brilliant!...

[torsionbar28]

Not even close to "temporary at best". It was a critical step in slowing the spread, and it was proper leadership on display. The biggest goal...

Banana. Screwdriver. Tea pot....

[torsionbar28]

Wait, what? This doesn't make sense. Compression helps when you're bandwidth constrained. So if a faster PCI-E does not result in much performance improvement,...

[torsionbar28]

What does this mean from a product perspective? Do the Nvidia GPU's support some higher performing compression codec that the AMD products do not? I...
