That's the one. Funny thing, it's not actually clickbait. The bug made it to the kernel mailing list where some Intel people looked into it and confirmed there is a bug. There is a…

If you're not aware, Intel has released a lineup of laptops, with some models having the GPU made by them and some having the same GPU made by TSMC. That makes the comparison very …

> I wonder whether the next bottleneck becomes software scheduling rather than silicon Yep, the scheduling has been a problem for a while. There was an amazing article few years ag…

> These sorts of core-density increases are how I win cloud debates in an org. The core density is bullshit when each core is so slow that it can't do any meaningful work. The real…

Not competitive at all. It's easily visible on the laptop lines, where the same GPU manufactured on TSMC has 3 times the power/performance ratio compared to the Intel one. Putting …

Worthwhile to point out: The Cat5 cable required for gigabit Ethernet is merely twisted pairs with no insulation, which is pretty much a dumb basic cable (with 8 wires). That's why…

> Does anyone actually know why they don't offer a symmetric product like the niche fibre ISPs? Short version: The UK regulator OFCOM defines ultrafast internet as 30 Mbps download…

A view from the the debugging tools since you asked https://thehftguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/screenshot_... I don't think there is anything too fancy compared to a DSLAM. I…

Full quote. The problem is the price. > One peculiar thing from the UK: Internet providers don’t truly offer gigabit internet. They have a range of deals like 30 Mbps – 75 Mbps – 1…
