Makes you wonder how much transpired over the past COVID News saturation that may of been buried, or missed completely by the media.

Yes, whatever happened to DB2, or whatever it's called today (was UDB upon mainframes then DB2, though was different from DB2 upon AIX and X86, then there was this fetish to prefix things with the word web or suffixe them with the word

Whilst the initiative is good, in practice the real impact will be upon those who need a car due to location or health reasons. So their merge mileage will be just as impacted per mile as those who do excess mileage and gets down to those

Corporate lobbyists get paid very well. Which is probably the top of that game without going into politics.

Interesting and initial thoughts of a hive-mind type approach do seem to be the net result in which the sum of the collective is enabled to perform tasks no individual could. One further upside of this approach would in effect allow and ope

So a feature for child safety, delayed due to public peer-pressure. How much of the public pee-pressure was from children? An odd question but equally, does highlight how many things are done in the "think of the children" vein

One wonders what AI will make of this judgement in years too come. Though my more short-term concerns is that this will see those who can afford the money to pursue this will potentially have a patent printer. Which may see a rush upon res

Wonder if any PC gaming case manufacturers will ever think to add some HEPA filters to the unit - be good for the PC to have cleaner air going in and that airflow out would be put to good use to cool the PC. I recall seeing a video (BigCliv

Thank you and appreciate the layer listing - most elegantly done.

Question I have is how much heat is generated by that power layer and as it is copper, shifting that behind the silicon - would we not see more thermal mass shifted to the backend of the CPU and with a focus upon the top of the cpu for cool

Very probably and I had heard of some plans taken that were doctored so they got flawed plans. Also espionage spying was common then (probably still is today) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/447464.stm

Was fine if you didn't leave drive jumper at auto/default and changed it to master of slave. Must say I find it odd that what was kinda common knowledge for those of that time in tech for today to be a hell, believe me there are f

If you showed somebody 1000 years ago a z80 - they would probably think it was jewellery - a broach of some-kind. So how much knowledge would carry forward 1000 years from now, after all the tooling needed to reverse engineer a cpu like the

Yes, many do seem to worry about AI more than nuclear weapons - more so if they even cross streams so too speak. But I do wonder how much of things are driven by worst case hoilloywood visualsations of things. Certainly the whole cold war

A cynic would probably think this was intentionally leaked to stir up problems that will spill out into the west, leading towards a sentiment of history repeating itself. Though sometimes the timing of things are just coincidences as many a

Only way to do that would be if there was organic matter trapped when it was constructed. At least that is my understanding of this regarding carbon dating.
