I used to have 24 core Proliant server 7 years ago. This CPU did not had any powersaving features whatsoever (frequency scaling, turbo, core switching off etc). It was great for testing code performance for its predictable performance.

Army asked for it, anyway politics are irrelevant to feelings. Pay was $50 a month, doughnut was 2 cents, that is like 1% paycut.

I guess this reasoning makes a sense in apple ecosystem. But why not both options in single device? My 7 years old dell can replace desktop workstation and tablet. Its replacement better have the same features.

It is much easier to find spare parts. PC can last 10 years, and it may be difficult to find some obscure motherboard or power supply. Airflow is bad in small cases. And it is harder to build it for newbie correctly. Bigger cases are usuall

I would understand if $400 laptop had low power charger to cut price. But on $3k "pro" laptop it is just middle finger to customer.

Serious question: In old Sandy Bridge days it was recommended to disable hyperthreading. That would decrease heat produced by CPU and allow better overclocking (2600k versus 2500k debate). Are there some features in CPU (such as hyperthrea

City hall is 100% responsible for housing shortage. High rise build would fix low supply problem pretty quickly (see Tokio). How many apartments are on Airbnb? 10%? And probably only in centre. And some people like me actually stay in airbn

I was a resident, I payed taxes and everything. This local versus tourists stuff is just xenopfobia. Why you don't blame city hall that refuses to build new housing, and d milks tourism for everything at expenses of locals?

Czechia got some quick tests from China. Their reliability was about 60% compared to lab, false positives and false negatives. I think DNA and RNA research is severely lacking in most countries. In a few years we will look at this year as 1
