Yah, I'm convinced North Carolina wants to be the new Florida politically. The news headlines out of that state can be bewildering. The Republican attempt to strip Roy Cooper of his powers as a democratically elected governor was quite

Now that Framework is coming out with AMD models, I find myself suddenly less excited about Linux on laptops from all other vendors. Sure maybe this Thinkpad has nice hardware, but this laptop has three major flaws all others do: 1: Too man

Terminator 2 is my fav film for weeding out pretend-wanna-be-film snobs. I've had this conversation more times than I'd like: Me: Terminator 2 was a great movie Fake film snob: Terminator 2?! A shoot-em-up movie?! What?! Me: Yah,

All of us will forever be baffled about how not only did Apple produce the dumbest laptop keyboard ever, but then defended it. If there was a museum of terrible technology, Apple's butterfly keyboard would be right up there with Window

The amount of negative press around the 4080 12GB was not insignificant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7TRFK3lCOQ 1.4 million views in three weeks. And that is just a single Youtuber. Imagine all of them combined.

This might be terrible news. Some of us Linux fans have been waiting for new Lenovo laptops featuring the next gen of AMD chips because they ship with RNDA2 GPUs. RDNA2 is the most powerful open source friendly GPU out there. This has been
