It could have gone up (I think the EU/ UK will increase, we'll see). Still haven't heard anything on motherboard pricing (those motherboards with 20 powerstages aren't going to be …

I'm impressesed by the initial performance numbers, the price, PCIe 5.0, Having 8 lanes to the PCH instead of 4, 10gbe on most motherboards. It's good that AMD is continueing the t…

It's good that AMD doubled the lanes on the PCH as 4 was a real limit (some of the higher-end motherboards have 3xM.2s plus Wifi etc hanging off the PCH, so definately a bottleneck…

Do you have a source for this, as far as I can tell this is hearsay?

Yeah a lot of US news sites block Europe (and UK), a VPN is handy. Here's an unblocked source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/88ab33/hacker-poison-florida...

The lack of airflow is probably to limit coil whine. I think the main fault with X570 is that it doesn't save power at idle (PCIe supports downclocking links to save power, actuall…

What I find most shocking about this, was that they banned the Press Secretary to the White House's Twitter account - That's the part I cannot get my head around.

">55 mcg/day [B12] was associated with a 98% greater risk" Wow, that is quite a staggering increase! Luckily it was men who smoke; "As for never-smokers, the paper states they “wer…

As far as I'm aware it's only B vitamins that aren't toxic in high volumes. I take 1,500ug of B12 (60,000% nrv - B12 has fairly poor adoption) for a nervous system disorder, seems …

A lot of buildings used in rural areas definitely aren't aesthetic pleasing, massive industrial buildings where the primary concern is build cost. They provide jobs to the region s…

How did the article not mention extension methods, when that's arguably the only true use case (many are against such methods). I'm a big C# fan, I like a lot about the language, b…

Ironically, even Intel is now planning to use TSMC. Makes you wonder if hell is freezing over... http://fortune.com/2020/07/28/intel-7nm-delay-tsmc-stock-sha...

What strikes me as odd (aside from the massive shockwave), is how there were no fireballs, all other fertilizer fires have bright explosions. It's burnt rather than detonated. Here…

I get the intention, and if it wasn't obvious in my previous post; I have dyslexia. Font sizing on computer screens is complex, fonts don't scale perfectly, they have sweet spots w…

That font is hideous! It only extenuates the bottom of the text, especially on capitals which don't need enhancing because they're already in CAPS. Paragraphs of text in caps just …

Did Tik Tok even explain why they were capturing and transmitting clipboard contents? (unfortunately not the only ones doing it) It's a little like inviting someone round for dinne…

I'm quite a big fan of json.org it outlines the JSON specification in a handful of diagrams and a small amount of text, it's so simple and elegant.

Electronics manufacturing has been moving to more and more automation for years. Humans don't place components on PCBs anymore (well, most components). it's done by machines that l…

I'm quite interested in what Nvidia is planning. Nvidia purchased Mellanox last year (they make high-end network gear often used in compute clusters). Nvidia is very involved in ma…

The entire ad campaign around OxiClean: "usages the power of oxyzen" as if it natural and chemical free. It may be natural, but it isn't the [semi] friendly O2 variety that we brea…

I grew up near Cheddar, If you were expecting an Empire of Cheese it's surprisingly modest. I recommend Wookey Hole and the area is a good place for bike rides (just not on the wee…

Json.org has a very nice diagram on how JSON numbers are interpreted. It's fairly comprehensive (accepts scientific notation), but... That treats all numbers as decimals (double) a…

That isn't a lot of data, at 4G speeds (~35Mbps) that will last less than 10 minutes. What benefit is there to make it run out even faster? The biggest issue with 4G is the price, …

A friend of mine is Romanian, and it is impressive how good their telecommunications are managed. This is something many countries can learn from. Here in the UK, the government ha…

B vitamins are the exception to the rule, most vitamins and minerals are toxic in high doses (like most things).
