    I don’t think it would work as well as there is no AVX or AVX2 on those older CPUs unfortunately.

    My points are about what it’s like current with removable batteries in cameras with current technology. Battery usage is dependant on usage to some extent. For casual use my camera…

    Both of those things are also important in cameras, there is even sites that compare the size such as https://camerasize.com/ . Cameras have got smaller in recent years and it make…

    It’s been long enough that people of forgotten what’s it’s like. Cameras still have replaceable batteries, there are several benefits: I can have two (or more) batteries, if it run…

    The battery in my iPhone 11 pro (6.5 years old) is still basically fine as long as I charge it every day. None of my previous smart phones were able to keep enough charge to be use…

    The title of site should probably have "for gaming" at the end as it doesn't consider GPUs for compute such as the A100 or the GTX 580 3GB that AlexNet was trained on.

    Waterfox is dependant on Firefox still being developed. Mozilla are adding these features to try to stay relevant and keep or gain market share. If this fails, and Firefox goes awa…

    First off I’d say you can run models locally at good speed, llama3.1:8b runs fine a MacBook Air M2 with 16GB RAM and much better on a Nvidia RTX3050 which are fairly affordable. Fo…

    We know how to use the apps, we just don’t want to. Not all change is for the better.

    Palm was the market leader, it would have been the obvious choice. Palm had been around since 1996 and by 1998 had sold 30 million devices [1]. PocketPC didn’t come out until 2000,…

    The pytorch binaries from pip and conda won’t work on these GPUs, though there are some alternative binaries being maintained that still work: https://blog.nelsonliu.me/2020/10/13/…

    The industry was already moving away from the big 64 bit SMP machines made Sun, SGI & IBM. In many cases a cluster of 32bit x86 machines made more sense than one expensive big mach…

    The Sony RX100 series would be in most top lists. Though personally I'm not sure why they went with a slower lens from the mark 6 onwards. The ZV1 continues with the a similar lens…

    With podman there is no daemon, everything is running as you. The standard setup for docker has a daemon running as root, which means when you start a container it has root privile…

    A fast charger has AC-DC converter provide DC power to car, which is expensive. Slow chargers are AC, which are very cheap in comparison.

    I think it’s a number of things. Interchangeable lens cameras now all have video features and increasingly most of the improvements are in that area. When SLRs are used for video t…

    A better example would be that the Home version of Windows doesn’t include BitLocker disk encryption.

    Additionally, in the 2000s we had IE-only webapps, meaning that when companies only cared about Windows clients, they still thought making webapp was a better way to reach their cu…

    Sony's SLRs didn't have a optical viewfinder anyway and haven't done for models released in the last 10 years (a580 was the last one with a optical viewfinder).

    Also, you can't mount EF-S lenses on a EF camera.

    The ones Sony have discontinued recently, actually have a fixed mirror, known as SLT (though they can also be still called DSLRs).
