Certainly the ipad + pencil are some of the best digital art hardware ever created. I take issue with people implying that other products are irrelevant. The total number of ipads sold doesn't seem like a good metric since many people

I'm not talking about the Cintiq. Around 2015 I was daily driving an HP elite book 2760p which couldn covert to a tablet and had Wacom EMR tech integrated into the display. It worked fine for drawing and I did a lot of it. Along with F

What puts it ahead of the Wacom/Surface drawing tablets which have been around for much longer? I'm not sure if I'd describe it as a leap if it's refining existing products.

You could just add easily argue that the Dutch government has immense leverage over the US, since ASML controls the leading edge fab technology that underpins Nvidia etc. It seems more to me like a highly profitable partnership that neither

I apologize for accusing you of pasting AI output; I still would have preferred that you edited it down to a more manageable length. The probability calculation apparently assumes that Ghislaine Maxwell has a Reddit account. Reddit had only

You're not taking into account dynamic clock speeds, just "idle" and "load." Most CPUs have configurable TDP, and if you give them more power they will run more cores at a higher frequency. Suppose I measured the sa

r/LocalLLaMA has 90,000 subscribers. r/PCMasterRace has 9,000,000. I'll bet there are a lot more casual PC gamers who don't talk about it online than there are casual local AI users, too.

Maybe because only AI enthusiasts want that much VRAM, and most of them will pony up for a higher-end GPU anyways? Everyone is suggesting it here because that's what they want, but I don't know if this crowd is really representati

CRTs have to maintain a near-vacuum inside IIRC. So it's probably a matter of safety to make them strong; if they're too delicate and get mishandled, they implode and some hapless consumer gets a face full of glass.
