I’ve had tab previews enabled on chrome for a while and never noticed a difference. I doubt this would on FF either.

I love booting up servers. 95% of the boot process is spent on the ram check. 4% is spent on the actual bios things, and 1% is actually booting the OS.

Even on my home server (a desktop with 64 gigs of ram) the ram check takes longer than the OS.

The speed difference between my brand new 7200rpm 20TB HDD and a random ass sata SSD is still astounding. Sequentially the HDD is only half as slow. But booting an OS or loading files the HDD is maybe a 10th the speed. Small sequential files is where SSDs shine, especially when it comes to high end NVME drives. That’s why iops are always included in benchmarks.

Windows on an HDD takes like 1-2 minutes to boot. A sata SSD is closer to 30 seconds, and a high end NVME drive is like 10 seconds.

from the article:

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

They asked for the passport and did the face scan? Outside of the first time they’ve haven’t asked for my passport yet.

You can be the enemy of the advertisers and they will do everything in their power to destroy you. Or you can not entirely piss them off and actually continue to exist and try to do as much good as you can.

Visibility is good and equivalent to some LEDs with higher end lamps

No. Not even close. LEDs are blinding because they have such high output. That high output is what makes things visible.

Those countries probably didn’t pay 5.5 billion dollars for TSMC to build a new facility in their country.

Multiple sources of production.

We learned during concentrating all of your production in one small country wasn’t a good idea. Plus having multiple sources has always been suggested in case anything goes wrong with one company you can still have some production.

You can also get big power consumption from turning up the voltage and cranking the clock speeds well past their efficient zone. You see that right now with most 40 series cards where turning the clock speeds down a smidge gives you huge power savings at almost no loss in performance.

Cost per MM^2 of die space has only gone up with each process node these last 10 years, so unless you’re paying big money don’t expect big chip.

The 5080 is rumored to be 10% faster, but also use 90% the power. While performance has a normal generational leap, power consumption has gone up to match leaving you with a much smaller actual improvement.

This isn’t for a phone. At least click on the article and read the first sentence.

Lots of chrome, 1 VM with 8 gigs of ram. I was using > 28 gigs of ram on my old laptop so when I got my new one I made sure to get 64.

No, they made it up. There’s nothing special about the USB C port on any Apple products.

If it has digital temperature control then it has something resembling a CPU and memory. If it’s analog then it’s probably just not that accurate and will drift over time without manual calibration.

I have a pinecil and direct heat soldering irons blow away non direct heat irons like your weller (and I think this ifixit one). Once you switch you never want to go back. Which is really disappointing because I don’t think this new ifix it one is.

I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come

The drives may still be useful, but the data will long be gone. I have a flash drive from 06 that was last used in like 08 09 and most of it’s data was gone by 2019. The drive itself is fine. But what was on it has slowly faded away.

It varied by manufacturer.

Some turbo = fast others turbo = slow.

Fermi 2.0?

Or is this going to be more like kepler where the consumer grade stuff doesn’t have all of the power hungry features, and the datacenter stuff gets them?

I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.

Was it the card or was it something else? Any chance you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU?
