No, I don't remember that at all. Is it real? Seems like a small form factor PC with KFC branding: https://landing.coolermaster.com/kfconsole/

I'm playing through Bravely Default. I have a stack of 3DS games that I never got to play, but now I'm taking some time every once in a while, because the system has some really go…

Thanks, good spot!

Thanks, I'm aware that the market is difficult. However, there still seem to be many jobs posts. That's why I'm wondering if it's something else too.

Hello all, My partner is having trouble finding work as a Junior Frontend Developer and we're not sure why. She has applied to dozens of positions and so far only received rejectio…

Using Google Maps causes Firefox (114.0.2) and the whole OS to completely freeze within minutes on my Laptop. This started happening after I upgraded to Fedora 38. Not sure if this…

Framework uses 28W (TDP) class CPUs on their Intel boards. Better cooling would allow better boosting behaviour. Still, this case plus one of their 13th gen or AMD boards is very t…

I'm running my 5800x in 45w Eco mode. It does not improve idle power from what I can see. It only limits the max it can draw.

Not exactly a getting started guide, but if you want to learn about Prometheus and PromQL, I've recently made a tool to spin up an instance and send fake metrics data to it: https:…

Very happy to see boot failure fixes in the release notes. Can't wait to give it another try with beta4!

This is a small tool I built for creating fake time series and samples and sending them to Prometheus (a monitoring system and time series database). It relies on the remote write …

It's also not clear what's better. Is Ultra better than Extreme? Or is Max the bestest one?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (a tale about a time and place I have not experienced), The Rum Diaries (surprisingly such a feel good movie), Bang Boom Bang (a hilarious German Com…

The article about the Padauk is interesting. Especially the description of the FPPA feature. Multiple CPU contexts? This sounds suspiciously like SMT to me which would be a total n…

This is nice. I recently experimented with OpenBSD on a Librebooted X200. Took some time to figure out how to boot it with Grub. And then it turned out that the particular Wifi chi…

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated! So it is the same mess just as with their CPU names.

It refers to their HD 7000 series, the predecessor of Polaris (RX 4xx and 5xx): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_7000_series

Really? I'm using their IDEs on Fedora 35 with Wayland. Seems to be working fine.

Any forks of Firefox OS still alive? That comes closest.

If you are having trouble with suspend/resume on your Ryzen 4xxx or 5xxx laptop, you might be in luck with this version. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1230 fo…

It's a quote from Futurama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIrlZSYB6tE (Nobody drove in New York, there was too much traffic)

From what I understand it's still dual channel for the first 8Gb, no? Not ideal but if I ever feel the need I could get another 32Gb stick and make it dual channel.

Not quite 700$ but I recently bought a Laptop with a Ryzen 5700u (8 cores, 16 threads) and upgraded the RAM to 40Gb. Easily under 1000$ brand new.

It's even worse in this case. Following the Github link, you'll get to an archived repository inside an org that the author created as a joke. In his own words: 'This is a joke. Yo…

Is that the real reason why those companies are hired? Judging by the comments here I wonder if there are any success stories at all.
