You can't get it in any of them. The same T series that gets a 1440p screen with Intel doesn't with AMD. It's still a budget line. Maybe in one more generation we can go all the way and get a 4K X1 with a Ryzen.

Availability and cost naturally. A big part of the appeal here is the low price point for a great spec bare-bones home server using these consumer parts.

Had no idea that would even boot. I prefer being able to just plug in a monitor but that's an interesting option.

The point was to use one of these great AMD parts... Motherboard support doesn't seem to be a problem, Asrock lists all their range as supported and has everything you might need. The actual annoying part about motherboards is that som

That's the 50 in 50-100€. At this level that's around one step up in CPU within the AMD range that you're wasting on an old GPU just to get the thing to boot.

I looked at this exact thing yesterday and those are currently the best option. They're also passively cooled which is nice. Having to use NVIDIA is annoying because of the story around Linux support. I mostly worry about these being o

This is really annoying when building a NAS too. Great value CPUs with ECC support make the configurations great and then you need to spend 50-100€ to just get boot graphics even though the machine will be headless 99% of the time. Buying s

Swapping out the allocator for jemalloc would be my first try. It's easy to do and often results in better performance. 30x requires some kind of pathological case though.

The problem isn't Windows. It's all the third-party stuff that gets added to Windows by corporate IT departments.

We need to put a price on carbon and let the economy figure out how to adjust. Trying to set piecemeal policies like stop selling X product in Y time is not feasible. We already have a method by which to coordinate globally, trying to inven

The article mentions 802.11r for fast roaming between APs and how this avoids it. I've seen mentions of networks where the APs just forward WiFi packets and a central router does all the actual negotiation to achieve the same effect. I

I use external screens just fine. I can't even think of a situation that's a big issue: - 4K laptop screen and 1080p external, just use integer scaling - 1440p laptop screen and 1080p external, use 1.3x font scaling and everything

I think it's one of the things Ubuntu dropped from the Debian experience. In-place upgrades are much less reliable. I also tend to wipe and reinstall on the desktop at least. Makes me keep configs in dotfiles/puppet and is good tr

Just set font scaling to 1.3x or whatever it is you need and everything works great. I've been doing that for many years for 1440p in a laptop. Ubuntu actually regressed there since switching back to GNOME from Unity. In Unity font sca

No one ever runs displays non-natively to get any of the scaling being discussed here. Fractional scaling works like that everywhere that I've seen. OSX does the same, and I'm not sure about Windows. The alternative would be prope

2x scaling is not setting 1080p, it's telling the software to draw at 2x scale. That's sharp and very well supported. True fractional scaling is not yet supported in most Linux software but I do 1.3x scaling for 1440p just by sett

The Toshiba and Seagate NAS lines seem well organized and better alternatives these days. And I guess this is all the more reason to get one drive per manufacturer for the typical ~4 drives in a home NAS. Between Seagate/Toshiba/W

Pointing to Telegram's own claims to say that they are secure seems strange. I tried reading anyway. When it started claiming that Signal didn't allow for backups I gave up.

Isn't Telegram the one with half-baked encryption that's not even used in group chats?
