ALi was indeed pretty much on the avoid list for me for most of their history. It was only when they came out with the ULi M1695 made famous by the Asrock939dual-sata2 that they were a contender for best out of nowhere. One of the coolest b

More likely they'll identify you as having a weakness for junk food using your image and fridge contents and show an ad for cheezy blasters every time you walk by the fridge.

I think it is bad news for the GPU market (AMD has had a beachhead with their integrated solution here as they've lost out elsewhere) but good for x86 which I've worried would be greatly diminished as Intel became less competitive

Way back in the mid-late 2000s Intel CPUs could be used with third party chipsets not manufactured by Intel. This had been going on forever but the space was particularly wild with Nvidia being the most popular chipset manufacturer for AMD

Most companies seem to well on the way for SATA drives in general. There aren't many non-garbage tier options available anymore. I keep ending up buying 870 EVOs even though I don't really love them.

What difference does it make? Trump will re-neg on the agreement even if they actually did it.

I assume you can't use Crypto instead of the bank account link, you probably require both. Otherwise this might have some use as another blast radius reducer for Paypal's antics. I switched to a hardly used checking account for pa

A similar thing happened to me in my mid-40s. I had been fortunate to have "perfect" vision until suddenly I was complaining about the tiny fonts on labels and started struggling doing small wiring tasks. It wasn't a surprise

But the reason people do this is also food waste. If the food expires at my house it still goes in the garbage, the only difference is I'm also the one that got stuck paying for it. It isn't like there's a discount based on t

I thought the kept incentivizing longer content so they could cram more ads into the videos. Hard to get some one to watch a 20 second ad for a 2 minute video, but if you can convince everyone to pad that thing up to 10 minutes you could st

I wish they'd give you more than 2x speed in the web player. Lots of videos seem to talk extra slowly to drag things out to the point 2x speed sounds like normal conversational speed.

What makes you think they won't be bailed out by creating a national subsidized insurance program? The national flood insurance program only exists because insurance companies didn't consider insuring properties that are destroyed

If this happens to me I'm buying the cheapest android I can find and just attaching it to my work laptop with adhesive.

I've done this as well. My employers setup guide was super long winded and tried hard to suggest MS Authenticator was the only one that would work without outright saying it. However, I've gathered that this is a setting that is u

IIRC Intel hobbled early Atom with an ancient process node for the chipsets which actually made up most of the idle power usage. It was pretty clear that both Microsoft and Intel wanted this product category to go away or at least be totall

XMP is technically overclocking, nothing inherently safe about it. I've had new dual channel kits fail memtest at XMP settings on Ryzen, it seemed to depend almost entirely on what the individual CPUs memory controller was capable of.

Their APUs don't have the problem from the reviews I've seen, but yes the I/O die has been the bane of the Zen platform when it comes to idle power consumption. To make matters worse, the x570 chipset basically runs this I&#x

I haven't moved on from AM4 yet but the way XMP is advertised you'd think it was guaranteed instead of overclocking that technically voids your warranty.

McDonald's around here have designated wait spaces with numbers. I've had them direct me out of line and an employee then brings the bag out to me when it is ready. So they do seem to have solved that problem.

Are these the same thing though? I have a fondness for novel hardware and the idea of using up old ram standards to create a fast ram disk is interesting to me. But the CXL card seems to require motherboard/platform support whereas the

Back in the dial-up days once call waiting was introduced you were routinely instructed to disable it. I had a box sort of like the fax switcher that I purchased on ebay that would instead listen for the call waiting tone and the box itself

Many "productivity improvements" in the modern era are just externalizing the problem. It's like saying I automated recycling by dumping all my unsorted stuff in my neighbors bin.

I don't believe this is true. Something like thunderbolt could allow this but the cheap commonly available ones "simply" appear as a USB disk and can't use any of the NVMe specific features like HMB, can't be secure

Why am I waiting in line to check myself out? That is what drives me nuts. "But they take up space" you say. There's lots of wasted space with the 8 standard checkout lines that are unmanned every time I come in the store.

It would be bad for x86 in general if Intel just disappears. They supply a ton of chips for businesses still and TSMC isn't going to replace that overnight.

I blundered onto this when looking for a way to swap out m.2 SSDs without opening my case. There are apparently adapters for an m.2 drive to be used in a CFexpress slot. When looking at prices for regular CFexpress cards it seemed like ever
