Too much personal preference with PPD. When I upgraded to a 32" monitor from a 27" one i didn't push my display through my wall, it sat in the same position.

Good bet it's 4nm. The 5090 doesn't seem that much greater than the 4090 in terms of raw performance. And it has a big TDP bump to provide that performance.

No it's not. 2560x1440 has terrible PPI on larger screens. Either way with a 4k monitor you don't technically need to game at 4k as most intensive games offer DLSS anyway.

Yup, the days of the value high end card are dead it seems like. I thought we would see a cut down 4090 at some point last generation but it never happened. Surely there's a market gap somewhere between 5090 and 5080.

Yea, I watch YouTube all the time on planes. Usually 480p maybe 720p. Sometimes I find I need to use a VPN to prevent streaming sites from being throttled badly.

Not sure how widespread this is but AWS load balancers don't validate the backend cert in any way. So I just generate some random self signed cert and use it everywhere.

I own my hard drive too, not sure how that's any different than paper. And we can't ignore that ebooks exist.

Eh, what standard are we holding people to? You ever shop for a used car(maybe even some rare spec of a sports car)? When you finally found a good deal did you shout in the streets and put out an ad to make sure no one else is around to mak

The whole supply chain is dead. No way the demand is great enough to justify rebooting it.

Pretty close to the hardware ive been hoping to see for years now. A proper high(ish) end board and soc with good connectivity.

Looks like just higher clock speeds and faster memory. An upgrade to 16GB would've been cool.

Don't think there's anything particularly secure about it.

The whole purpose of TEEs and confidential computing is to prevent the people with your server from seeing what you're doing on it.

I've been following Box86/64 and it's amazing how far it's come. Now we just need some proper reasonably priced ARM workstations.

Does nobody really justify it? The argument for inflation is pretty simple I think. It encourages everyone to do something with their money now, invest or spend.

Probably more accurate to multiply that by 4. Each SM is split into 4 partitions that can each execute different instructions but with shared L1 cache.

So you think the way the US would win those wars is by suffering more casualties? No, in all cases, it was the lack of political will to continue not an inability to defeat enemies tactically.

Now go look at the casualty ratios in all those wars.

Even worse on the "next-gen" console front. After yet another generation of being promised at least near 4k and 60fps, we're back to 30fps with sub 1080p render resolutions.

This was a problem even when Windows tried to be touch friendly.

But that can't really be true, according to HN your car is your whole identity or something like that. Totally "hinged" take for sure.

I don't think your examples really prove your point. You include 100 year old auto manufacturers, companies long acquired by US tech giants, and a failing AI hardware company that has nothing to do with Nvidia. Probably the most valid

Its definitely getting more usable with each generation but still not at the performance level during general use as an old i5 mini pc or N100. It always feels to me that there's a bottleneck with the Rpis that hold it back more than t

It was an MIT licensed open source project. They can't buy an exclusive license to the code.

Microsoft themselves have highlighted Ryujinx as an example of high performance modern .NET.
