Itanium was mainly dropped because it was impeding work in the EFI subsystem. EFI was originally developed for Itanium before being ported to other platforms, so the EFI maintainers had to build and test their changes to shared code on Itan

AFAIK std::simd is still nightly only. You can use the raw intrinsics in std::arch, but that's not any better than "#include <immintrin.h>".

In the US, the film industry originally worked like the streaming industry does today. Besides just creating films, the major studios distributed them through the theaters they owned. If you wanted to see a Paramount film you had to go to a

They're just selling the motherboard on its own, not a whole laptop. To make if a complete system, you'd have to buy a laptop chassis from Framework's parts site and install the motherboard yourself.

This board uses the CIX CP8180 SoC, which has worse performance and significantly worse efficiency than even Apple's M1 chip. See Jeff Geerling's review of a desktop with this SoC: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog

Apple took the basic concept of a GUI and mouse-driven interface from Xerox, but the Lisa/Mac are far from a direct copy of what was demoed at PARC. Smalltalk didn't have a file browser, didn't have pull-down menus, didn&#x27

Both Hynix and Samsung won't be expanding production very much (see https://www.hankyung.com/article/2025120168881 ), so I expect the shortages to continue. Obviously buying RAM a la carte will be extremely cost p

One large contributor to modern Windows's lack of quality is that Microsoft laid off all of its dedicated QA staff in 2014, with the expectation that developers would own the OS's quality themselves, and whatever they miss would g

Outside Russia it’s limited to renewals of existing domains due to sanctions. I believe ICANN is trying to eliminate the domain entirely due to it being obsolete, although I don’t know if a formal timeframe has been established for that yet

Weird, mine lets me go down to 50%: https://files.catbox.moe/gjuzl6.png . Out of curiosity, do you use an nVidia graphics card? I know in the past their drivers have had problems with scaling on Linux.

On KDE you can just type a number into the scale percentage field in the display configuration settings pane. I typed "73" and it snapped to 72.5 which is probably close enough. I don't know whether GNOME supports anything si

Well the US has lost every military conflict it's entered for the past 70 years. Since there's been no internal pressure to change methodology, maybe the US military doesn't view winning as necessary.

I'd expect pirate TV stuff to be mainly available through mail order, it's surprising you can buy it off the shelf at big box stores like Best Buy. I wonder how they weighed the income they'd get from stocking pirate TV boxes

I don’t like how the CEO is portraying this as something solely caused by outside market forces. In the last 10 years, their profit margin has gone from ~17% to ~32%. The pricing is an intentional decision that they could choose to change a
