You could probably see benefits with 2.5" drives, just due to the form factor and lower power draw compared to 3.5" HDDs. If you wanted to put in a bit more work, you could shuck the 2.5" enclosures, as the PCB space of an SS

I actually was thinking further on this. WSL is not a Linux kernel. In WSL1, it's a syscall translation layer. In WSL2, it's a highly integrated virtualization environment. You do have to install a Linux distro. So the kernel&#x27

It's more than just $/B of drives. It's $/B all-inclusive. Backblaze deploys their storage as storage pods (a server holding drives) in their vault architecture (many pods form a vault, with data sharded across pods in a

Who are you buying from? Seagate also had undisclosed SMR, and I believe Toshiba did as well.

Do you think WSL counts if not enabled?

This is the tradition of common law, and is not unique to the US. The job of the courts is to discover law. Even in the case where a sovereign dictates a law (older form, in monarchies) or a legislative body writes a law (modern form, in ma

An update. Phoronix's benchmarking includes the i5-9400F, which is the no-iGPU version of the Intel chip. F chips are typically expected to edge ahead of their iGPU siblings. The 3300X beats the 9400F in nearly every single benchmark (

Or it could be Rambox with all of those!

In your case, it is quite likely that the GPU is the better money for an upgrade.

AMD has committed to restocking to retailers who should be selling at least close to MSRP, but this part is underpriced. We'll likely see it continue to be bought in bulk and resold at a higher price as long as this is true. You'r

R3s outcompete i3s, pretty much across the board. They are bested by i5+ for gaming, but not by much. They are competitive with, or beat i5s in productivity. GN has timestamps in the video description if you want to jump to graphs: https:&

GN has a very thorough review of each of the 3100 and the 3300X. Note, the 3100 review is also positioned against a 7700K. The comparison charts are well-populated, though still have some gaps, as GN just updated their processor testing met

Few thoughts for your friend. This is not a "you're wrong" post, but a "here are some options to consider, with different tradeoffs." 1. The AMD R3-3300X is neck and neck with the Intel i5-9600K in most productivity

Aliexpress has some good mini-PCs based on mobile CPUs. It's been a while since I went shopping for one, so I'm not sure where they are, right now. Since these are typically <=15W parts, they can be passively cooled. Most are f

My dream laptop isn't there yet, but this is hopeful. I want an X13 or T14 with an -H series CPU. I think the X13 is unlikely, but Asus has shown us that you can fit a 4900HS into a 14" laptop. It's not an absolute necessity

Just double checked in a Windows VM. These are available when searching WSL in the Microsoft Store. Some of these are for a fee. There are also a few results for terminal emulators and an X server. - Ubuntu (18.04 and 20.04) - Kali - Debian

My post was all about why this is not surprising behavior for bash, and my justification for the same. To be very clear, I don't find this surprising given the circumstances of bash's birth into this world and its primary use case

Oh, for sure. I agree. I don't think bash is the tool for that job.

WSL gives you a full Linux distro. You can use Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, from the top of my head. These are default options. There are others available. Additionally, you can bootstrap to other distros. I know Arch was an early target. WSL1 r

Have they gotten networking transparency working to the degree that it was on WSL1 yet? I tried an earlier preview of WSL2 and ran into a bunch of issues here.

I wouldn't predict this, but I don't find it terribly out of line. Bash, and shells in general, are designed to be interactive command execution environments. The syntax easily allows multiple commands on a single line, and this i

It's not a bad idea. I think, though, that the problem was that these people didn't really understand what we were doing, so needed hand holding.

Neato! I had seen a demo of one of their cases, but didn't realize they were actually in production, and covered up to 180W. Thanks for sharing! Ninja edit: Ooof $700-$1400 for the chassis and custom fab for the CPU block. If I'm

Simple, yes. Without purchasing hardware and testing, no.

Epycs should be readily overclockable. It's the same silicon as Threadripper. AMD does not, to my knowledge, restrict overclocking in server parts. Cooling would become a big issue, though. Air cooling a 280W 3970X in a big tower with

Any XPS 13 will be running a -U series low-power CPU. I would not consider any laptop high-end with regard to compute, unless it is using a -H series part, at least. -U series (somehow, magically the same designation between AMD and Intel)
