My favorite OCs were a $250 Black Friday special Celeron laptop that I pin-modded using a few-mm long piece of a single strand of stranded cat5 to go from (IIRC) 1.5Ghz to 2.0Ghz by just shorting two pins on the socket under the CPU, and a

We live in the age of dynamic clocks where modern performance-oriented CPUs try to optimize both performance and power efficiency at all times, so for the vast majority of users, it's both a lot faster and a lot more efficient to do

This. If this were part of a coding interview, I'd pass on the company. Don't do this. This is also why real developers use tests and actually try things before shipping them, as almost all of these fictional scenarios should be c

What are you trying to do with it that you’re concluding it’s a “bad product” due to the slow refresh times? Kindles have always been the benchmark ebook reader and the most common piece of e-ink technology that you can actually buy. Hardly

Why are you trying to bankrupt Intel??? Without being able to charge 5x as much for Xeons for ECC support, why would anyone ever pony up for one?

but then what excuse would you have to throw another $500 at Asus for their latest board that while being the best chance the platform has, still feels like it runs a beta BIOS for the first 9 months of ownership?

Yup, so I've adopted a strategy for my past few desktop builds like this: - Every time a new ToTL GPU comes out for a new family, buy it at retail price as soon as it launches (so, the first-available ToTL models that were big gain

They've done upgradeable laptop GPUs before with MXM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_PCI_Express_Module Looks like the best card they have out with MXM right now is a Quadro RTX 5000 Mobile which seem to be

Kinda hilarious to see gamers buying laptops that can't actually leave the house in any practical meaningful way. I feel like some of them would be better off with SFF PCs and the external monitors they already use. I guess the biggest

Don't worry, I'm sure the free market will solve this quickly and efficiently, no need for regulations! /s

And when the House Speaker won’t even let it get to a vote in the first place, no one has any motivation to even draft such a bill. But yeah let’s ban TikTok because in theory they could do something bad that every US-based company already

Yup, just like flying between SF and LA. It takes the same amount of time as driving once you factor in all the other BS that airports entail. Charter planes are definitely faster but an order of magnitude more expensive. JSX is a decent al

We pay for libraries through taxes, it’s just that they’re considered a public good so important that everyone has to contribute to pay for them.

The timing makes it blatantly obvious that this is retaliation for the TikTok sell-or-ban.

Yep, it's a perception issue that isn't helped by the fact that to normies, "nuclear" means "bomb", and the oil and gas industries have massively more lobbying dollars to get politicians to push their solutions

Given sentiments about regulations and government agencies these days, I fully expect a new TikTok trend of snorting lines of asbestos to pop up very soon.

It's funny but sad how this has literally been an issue for 20+ years and yet still no one can fix it. I've tried with many laptops, both Windows and Linux, and the only one that can reliably go into a backpack with >90% charge

Yup, and this is what one of the class-action lawsuits is about. The problem is that on our model, that drain is behind glued-in molded styrofoam that also channels the air over the coils. It broke apart when removed. The plastic is also gl

I usually help bag my stuff if there isn't someone there already to help. I really don't mind and it gets me out of the store faster + helps the next person get through faster. I don't understand the mentality of just standin

It was ostensibly pried from the cold, dead hands of a Native American not so many decades ago, so at least there’s precedence. A bit more about that: http://mojavedesert.net/mojave-indians/traditional-territory...

But you see, their family got the land for free through a Homestead Act a few generations ago after they drove the Natives out (and/or murdered them) and now they get subsided water and property taxes through Prop 13 and cheap labor fr

Just for some perspective, the low-income limit for a single person in SF, Marin, and San Mateo counties is $104,400 for 2023, and not much lower ($96k) for Santa Clara county where much of “SV” exists. https://www.sfchronicle.co
