    In cases where they didn't, the techpowerup vBIOS collection solves the problem.

    Be careful not to mix slow CPUs with not having SSDs. A OS freezing up is almost always because something is broken or because it's waiting for a HDD to spin up.

    We're definitely prioritizing features and just more applications and use cases over optimization. If CPUs were 20x slower, we'd probably see quite a few of the things that are pos…

    Exactly. The problem isn't the advancement of technology. It's the rampant gatekeeping of manufacturers and both politicians as well as some of the user base defending it.

    Because dealing with it internally and informing the public are two entirely different things. They may well have told the families some things, but not the public. Afterall this i…

    If it's only "probably destroyed" then it's perfectly reasonable to hold off on an announcement and to keep looking for a few days. You wouldn't want to tell the families that thei…

    Also assuming that weight isn't an issue, the controller being $30 makes redundancy easy. Just like every other kid playing video games, simply have a second one in case the first …

    How lucky it has adjustable ride height and obviously doesn't run the fan outside of racing.

    There is an interview with the driver on the Archie Hamilton racing YouTube where he shows the wheel in depth including the paddles.

    There is no need to run the fans at all or at least not nearly at full speed on public roads. So I would expect the dust cloud to not be there during operation on public roads. Als…

    But there is the more up to date 14 and 16-inch model with a better keyboard, 120hz screen and updated chassis. This one seems to be some sort of thing to simply hit a price point …

    True. I guess it's the slightly enhanced version of the M1 Air. Additional connectivity, touchbar and a fan for sustained loads. If that's not required, might as well save the $400…

    It is. It's the first M1 model still with the touchbar and the old display. So far it hasn't been discontinued, but de-facto replaced by the current 14 inch model.

    Because unless your applications need to store lots of things in memory, it doesn't matter for performance. macOS is very good with memory management, so for a lot of use cases 8gb…

    Look up Kingpin Roboclocker. That's the closest anyone has gotten to develop a fully automated system that could be developed into something you could run for extended periods of t…

    Well, partially with good insulation, Vaseline or plastidip coating. And partially, you just don't. It'll freeze over and since this is for competition and not daily use, that is o…

    Actually they did it for a PR event with ASUS to get the record when the platform launched. Liquid Helium is too expensive and difficult to handle otherwise. Even for extreme overc…

    As a non-American, I have no idea what kind of damage hurricane Katrina did. As far as I am concerned, there was some wind. Enough to make international news, but that's about it. …

    Doesn't mean we need yet another one of those.

    Honestly starcraft has taught me the opposite of that. It taught me that paying attention and making things up on the spot works well into 5k MMR (upper 90th percentile of performa…

    So instead of sometimes one of the two not being accepted, you want me to carry 50 different ones and have 2/3 rejected? No, thank you.

    That sounds like a good method, given the time. But I'd like to argue that some people are simply not smart enough to have enough reflection and thoughts about anything. They need …

    But why is the audio quality fine for example on a facetime call. If the two way standard is that bad, wouldn't it be universally bad? Beyond that, is anyone working on a better on…

    If you do some text processing, some email and generally office software, 8gb is absolutely enough. Beyond that it's not anymore. 16gb is where most people with more serious applic…
