    No backup system or old laptop to try this? It ran fine on my 12700K and integrated GPU. I sold my 245KF so the 9060 XT 8GB is collecting dust and I'm too lazy to put it in the 12700K system at the moment. Someone else tried the VM approach. It runs like a slideshow. I guess the emulated 3D...

    Someone created this using Claude Fable: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jXwHIKe4frunqzXXkpXUfyiPlD-7nVY5/view It's actually decently playable. Took him two days. DirectX 11.

    Pretty funny video on using extra fans to improve case airflow

    NotebookLM I tend to trust Google more since they have a AI genius that even Elon Musk wanted to take out. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/elon-musk-sam-altman-worlds-214912776.html

    Microsoft Confirms a Windows 11 Bug That Can Quietly Eat Over 500GB of Your Storage

    At least you started off good. I had a 386DX-40 and 486DX2-66 before I got a Pentium 166 (or 133) non-MMX and it wasn't until the Pentium II 350 MHz that I felt the PC was sufficiently fast though the Pentium wasn't horrible and I did buy a used one while I was living in a shared space so other...

    Microsoft Confirms a Windows 11 Bug That Can Quietly Eat Over 500GB of Your Storage

    What were the PC specs you had to settle for? I know the AmigaOS was far ahead of its time and advanced in many ways. Glad I never used it otherwise I would long badly for it too.

    Mythical NVIDIA RTX GeForce 5050 9GB Is Apparently Nowhere to Be Seen, According to AIB Partners

    I dunno. An extra gigabyte would've been useful. Anything is better than 8GB. It's like a frickin' curse. First it took ages to get over 8GB of RAM for mainstream hardware yet the stupid Macbook Neo brought the curse back. And in GPUs, we are still stuck with the 8GB curse. The industry needs to...

    Exec Warns That Continued Price Hikes for Memory Will Become the New Normal, Lasting Well Beyond This Decade

    Especially since they have built data centers that don't even have power available. It's major investor fraud. Promising them a future that the fraudsters have no intention of delivering. They will do the bare minimum, fill their swiss bank accounts with a fortune and disappear. Similar to a...

    Exec Warns That Continued Price Hikes for Memory Will Become the New Normal, Lasting Well Beyond This Decade

    The GPU hegemony will end as soon as a large enough LLM-on-chip is released. That will be a lot faster and if it gets 90% of the work done, there will be very few niche cases left to load up GPUs with LLMs. https://www.glukhov.org/llm-performance/hardware/llm-asics/
