    New sub $1k build ideas

    This is $800-1k for everything. Right now he is on a laptop and has only a mouse. One of my nephews is asking for help piecing out a new, first time builder, system. If he was closer I could give him a lot of crap but too far for it to be easily done. I've specked my own systems many times...

    Dark Sector (2009) Is Free to Claim on Steam for a Limited Time

    I am not familiar with this franchise. It's it worth the disk space and start and tear to install? Pretty low bar i know as I have a lot of space free.

    Intel Arc B580 “Battlemage” GPU Pricing and Specifications Have Surfaced

    Looking forward to seeing how they perform. Guessing initial numbers should be consumed with a large quantity of salt. Driver and other update will come.

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D to Include 3D V-Cache on Both CCD Chiplets, According to Latest Report

    With the x3d cache's as the bottom layer, I wonder if the tech is there for them to be directly connected (assuming a cache for both CCD's) and if it could be fast enough, perhaps by making it super wide bits wise or some such to alleviate the bandwidth issues. Well some/part of them anyways...

    MRDIMM: New Ultrafast DDR5 Memory Boosts Intel Data Center Chips, Doubling Memory Bandwidth of Standard DRAM Modules

    Does this mean 2 banks of 16/24/..../64 each for up to 128gb per MRDIMM? Would there still be bank interleaving? So double raid 0 so to speak?

    U.S. Senator Pens Letter to Valve, Pressing Company to Crack Down on “Hateful Accounts” and “Rhetoric Proliferating” on Steam

    I appreciate the thought, I truly wonder if Valve is willing to risk alienating those 1 million users? Until something extreme happens and they have no choice, that is.

    LG Has Developed the World’s First Stretchable Display Which Can Be Expanded by up to Fifty Percent

    Looks useful for putting a display into/on any surface - kinda like Star Trek :) With some creativity and imagination this could be pretty exciting. Of course, not just for Sex Dolls but Sex does sell. Sadly I am thinking 5-10 years before it hits the street, if not longer.

    No, I have not used an ARM cpu, well, errr, except in my cell phone and android tablet. My IPad is a bit old but I think has an ARM chip too.

    Western Digital Launches New 26 TB and 32 TB HDDs, including WD Gold 26 TB Hard Drive

    Ohhhhhh..... They are so big and hard. Such a tease too. Gonna be years before they are affordable to the likes of me. Still, it is nice to see HD tech continue to advance.

    Arm CPUs Projected to Power 40% of Notebooks by 2029 as Intel and AMD Join Forces to Expand x86 Ecosystem

    They are taking ARM seriously it seems. Given ARM will emulate ,or could an x86 execution module be crammed into an ARM core, why the focus on x86 instructions?

    GOG Wants Gamers to Know Its Offline Installers Can’t Be Taken Away from You While Steam Reminds Them That Players Only Get a License to Play

    What irritates me about Steam is that I can not run a game on my desktop and a different game on my laptop. Regardless of any legal mumbo-jumbo in the Steam agreement, I paid for those "licenses" separately, the two computers are on the same network and only a few feet away from each other.

    NVIDIA CPU for AI PCs Will Reportedly Enter Mass Production in 2H25

    I am guessing ARM? Dont know how they would otherwise get into Windows and x86/64. Though I suppose NV does have the cash to buy a license.

    Linux in Windows any good?

    Thanks, Stuck at my Sister's for a week, house, duck, fish and turtle sitting. I just want to get time using the OS. Dont plan to dump Windows, gaming is so much easier and I know it well enough. Learning nuts and bolts of Linux on the hobby level to keep my brain active and learning kind of...

    Linux in Windows any good?

    Pi 5 looks nice enough and from what I have read capable. Being me I am thinking 8gb. Wondering how big an SD I would need. I do have a small amount of NAS available (about 7gb) and some old m.2 ssd's with usb adapters.) for additional storage.
