    Apple to Drop Support for Intel-Based Macs Following “Tahoe” macOS 26 Release

    285K hackintoshes are pretty good for productivity. Apple needs to ink a deal with Intel to sell those as Mac Pros with upgradable dGPUs, RAM and SSD storage. Intel gets a lifeline. Mac users get probably cheaper multicore productivity machines and access to non-Apple GPUs. Apple can then price...

    ASRock Develops HUDIMM: A New DDR5 Standard That Cuts Module Chip Count in Half

    I had an absolute blast playing UT and UT2003 in LAN matches. But discovered a crazy thing. My main PC was a Celeron 700 MHz (Coppermine) and I had a spare Pentium (maybe 133 MHz. It's all hazy at this point). The matches were fun and I was winning often enough to keep me interested in going...

    Sorry Folks, No Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Review Today

    I hope you buy it as soon as AMD rejects your sample request (they probably will unless you know someone really smart and affable at AMD). And for people who think this chip is useless in gaming, here ya go:

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    Compression is a misnomer unless it is specified whether it's lossy or lossless. Most "incredible" compression schemes are lossy. H.265/AV1? Lossy and look better only because a LOT of horsepower goes into reconstructing the image from the "hints" left by the encoder. They all depend on the fact...

    Errors can be related to the physical slots too. Not unheard of for one or two slots to go bad in a mobo.

    Continued access to the games (hopefully within our lifetimes) and no headache of trying to store a whole library of them offline. With even delisting of games on Steam, the ones who have already bought the games or have older keys may still be able to access them.

    Try the Fedora Live boot ISO. May not be the fastest but looks more polished than CachyOS. Also, based on my experience, it did something regarding time that none of the other Live boot distros did. Left me impressed. Don't remember exactly what. I think the other distros were having sleep...
