    Starlink

    Wish I could do that with Spectrum. They're the only option other than DLS. They have us by the short and curly's, so they won't apply any promotions to lower our bill. I pay $115 a month for 600/20 service.

    Ripple has fiber 3/4 mile away from my development. They have no plans to bring it here. Sucks

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    Our VM environment is mixed use. We have several thousand SQL instances though. Instead of managing SPLA licensing ourselves we use Azure agents that report directly to M$ and get a considerable discount for doing so.

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    SQL can handle that already. That what max degree of parallelism is for. We can dictate how many cores a query can potentially use. Whether that is efficient is up to the query design. @Grimlakin And we have VM SQL servers with 32+ cores and 512+ GB of RAM. It makes no sense to put them on...

    That's not bad. Gives me hope. Considering I might be building a house in the middle of nowhere.

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    Vast majority of SQL environments are virtualized. And being a VMWare engineer myself I can't think of one reason why I'd want core reduction/binding at the BIOS level on my hosts. That would limit my ability to provision cores for multi-threaded applications.

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    You're still paying for those cores. And SQL already uses parallelism for query acceleration.

    Samsung Launches World’s First 115″ Micro RGB TV, 500 Hz OLED Gaming Monitor, and Two New Additions to the Odyssey G7 Series

    Samsung already has MicroLED TV displays, but they're huge, and the cheapest smallest 89" one is $110k. 101" is $130k. Problem isn't whether they can, it's cost and complexity of producing microLED's at scale. Plus they need to make them smaller, another challenge, to produce smaller display...

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    We're well beyond that being a reality. Everything is moving towards ray tracing, upscaling and frame generation. I'm OK with it.

    FDA Bans Juul E-Cigarettes from U.S. Shelves

    You hold way too many people in high regard. I assume everyone is mentally incapacitated until otherwise proven.

    Samsung Launches World’s First 115″ Micro RGB TV, 500 Hz OLED Gaming Monitor, and Two New Additions to the Odyssey G7 Series

    Different tech. MicroLED is a full LED panel. Yes, once they get these things small enough they'll replace OLED. What they're doing here with microled's is using them as backlighting. Just a super dense full array of RGB lighting for even more contrast control.

    Samsung Launches World’s First 115″ Micro RGB TV, 500 Hz OLED Gaming Monitor, and Two New Additions to the Odyssey G7 Series

    It's not for you. It's for me that plays FPS's and wants high refresh rates to match my high frame rates.

    From Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to Battlefield 6, More Online Games Are Requiring Hardware Security Measures to Prevent Cheating

    The only thing it's done is create a very frustrating situation for a lot of potential customers. There are already full blown cheats for BF6 working on the beta.
