    5800X3D and a 1gig symmetric line. I really don't know how much more system resource it wants.

    YouTube too. And I'm not even talking about the video player. Displaying a 4x4 grid of thumbnails seems to be some kind of herculean task.

    Honestly, there's never been a better time to be writing games for those platforms. The SDK's are much improved from the proprietary stuff available at the time and the hardware is…

    One of my monitors just did the same thing yesterday as the compressor in my office minifridge shut off. I don't think my DP cables have any ferrite chokes built in...

    There's almost certainly less than 69KB of useful human-readable information on any given page.

    Is this materially different from panel self refresh?

    I'm glad someone else said this because I was right about to. One of the things I love about Rama 1 is how it squashes the idea of a human centric universe where everything has to …

    Its possible. I know from the BIOS revision changelogs that the T470 did get a patch to fix this, but the X270 never did.

    I wonder if this can help with the extremely irritating bug (intentional?) on the X270 where if you give it a third party 9-cell battery, it will raise CPU_PROCHOT all the damn tim…

    Their ARM64 boxes are fantastic, but sold out at the moment.

    I feel like taking the approach of ramming the entire current desktop userspace into a phone is a misguided one. I can fully see now why Android reinvented the wheel across the boa…

    I got mine 2nd hand on eBay as new old stock. £300 for a 55" 4K panel. The only thing I can ding it for is that the backlight local dimming is done in columns which is extremely di…

    I've switched to a low carb diet this year and have cut out just about all processed foods. I am considering getting a GLP1 injection privately in the near future. I'm hopeful that…

    I don't think the bad sound is necessarily deliberate, its more of a casualty of TV's becoming so very thin there's not enough room for a decent cavity inside. I had a 720p Sony Br…

    A dedicated GPU is a red flag for me in a laptop. I do not want the extra power draw or the hybrid graphics sillyness. The Radeon Vega in my ThinkPad is surprisingly capable.

    That's very true, and I believe Wayland has a DRM leasing extension just for this use case. SteamVR uses it to punch through the compositor and draw straight to the screen.

    I imagine because vsync and triple buffering introduce latency. There are cases like games where you don't want all that lag.

    Its old enough to use a CFL backlight and those turn yellow with age.

    Perhaps on the same package (stacked) but absolutely not on the same die.

    You use PDO and prepared statements. Although realistically, you are going to be using a framework and some kind of Active Record pattern.

    I've been running Fedora at home for about a decade now, and I've been doing my gaming on it for the majority of that period. I've been running Fedora at work for about 6-7 years n…

    Microsoft's understanding of consent is about on-par with that of a rapist.
