GPUs will drop memory clocks dynamically, with at least one supported clock speed that's intended to be just fast enough to support scanning out the framebuffer. I haven't seen any indication that anybody is dynamically offlining

It figures that Realtek is a key part of the story. The availability of Realtek PHYs and NICs is what's finally allowing 2.5GbE and 5GbE to go mainstream for consumer equipment. Aquantia got bought by Marvell and ended up with enterpri

Is the protocol actually based on RDP, or is it merely achieving a similar purpose?

This thesis already covers GAAFETs. What might be problematic is that it's modeling cylindrical GAA structures, when fabs are trying to implement GAA with ribbon/sheet style structures that this model might not be able to handle.

That doesn't even appear to be attempting to address anything relevant to consumer networking. It's a purely enterprise-focused project, mostly about putting a Debian-based OS onto rackmount ethernet switches.

It's not ideal, but it's not a deal-breaker for every use case. The kind of firmware you get on a barebones industrial-oriented miniPC style router from China doesn't have much potential for a remotely-exploitable vulnerabili

tmpfs is backed by swap space, in the sense that it will overflow to use swap capacity but will not become persistent (since the lack of persistence is a feature).

At that point you might be better off getting a power distributor from an old server that was already designed to operate off redundant 12V power supplies. But you wouldn't want the server PSUs themselves due to the tiny loud fans.

If there's any hope of having a reasonable discussion about this topic on HN, it surely doesn't start with an article like this one. That site appears to be devoted to the kind of flamebait that's not appropriate here.

In the context of how phones today are built, air gaps are pretty much never the right answer to a thermal concern. At best, an air gap is what you allow when the budget cannot accommodate a better solution. If you have a component you need
