Judging from the flight path and altitude data that seems extremely unlikely, it looks like the plane just fell apart and came down like a brick in an instant.

I should keep this in mind when I upgrade my workstation some time in the future. I have an x470 Taichi and there the IOMMU grouping is pretty bad, it also has only a single USB controller in its own group, and all PCIe slots except the top

That's pretty cool! I run one gaming VM on my 3900X but I always wondered how well it would be able to handle 2 Win10 VM's playing games concurrently. Do all the other components of the solution (both hardware and software) scale

Thanks for the summary, this confirms what I already suspected, which is that these kinds of studies are pretty much useless to correlate anything with anything. On top of that it seems the study hypotheses for these papers are clearly bias

Just a few low-activity OS & mostly sleeping application threads will barely fill one or two of these typical 'slow' cores you see in big.LITTLE SoC's, so what's the point of adding more of them? I don't think l

Yes but the point is that Apple doesn't need to scale the M1 up to desktop frequencies, because it already is faster than x86 in single-threaded workloads, at lower clocks and significantly lower power. To scale up the multithreaded pe

Rpcs3 is extremely impressive, but remember it took 9 years to get to the point where it is now, and still many games break or have unplayable performance even on the highest-end PC's you can buy today. So it kind of proves the point h

I'm pretty sure Intel has had some EUV tools installed for some time already, they're just not using them for any kind of HVM yet as they are ~3 years behind their own process technology roadmap by now.

Yes, but code signing can be ad-hoc, can be done automatically at build time, and doesn't require notarization. So it's basically just a way to ensure the binary has not been tampered with. I don't really see the problem here

If you hold Fn you get the traditional row of function keys, which seems like a pretty good tradeoff. And if you really hate that, you can simply configure the touch bar to always display them, in which case literally the only downside is t
