In cases where they didn't, the techpowerup vBIOS collection solves the problem.

Be careful not to mix slow CPUs with not having SSDs. A OS freezing up is almost always because something is broken or because it's waiting for a HDD to spin up.

We're definitely prioritizing features and just more applications and use cases over optimization. If CPUs were 20x slower, we'd probably see quite a few of the things that are possible right now. But with a lot more well optimized custom solutions rather than bloated frameworks.

And in some cases, multi-threading would be the only way to do things. Where right now, single-threaded file copy, decompression or draw-calls are largely a thing because it's way easier to do and there is no need to change it outside professional applications.

Also, some things might actually be better than they are right now. Having to wait for pointless animations to finish before a UI element becomes usable should not be a thing. If there was no CPU performance for this kind of nonsense, they wouldn't be there.

Please don't mix clockspeeds with performance. A Athlon™ 5350 from 2014 is >20x slower single threaded than a Core i9-14900K. Yet it's 2 GHz vs. 5.8 GHz. Architecture, Cache and Memory Speed matter A LOT.

Exactly. The problem isn't the advancement of technology. It's the rampant gatekeeping of manufacturers and both politicians as well as some of the user base defending it.

Because dealing with it internally and informing the public are two entirely different things. They may well have told the families some things, but not the public. Afterall this is a privately funded venture and the rescue effort isn't going to be paid for by the public either. They owe us nothing.

If it's only "probably destroyed" then it's perfectly reasonable to hold off on an announcement and to keep looking for a few days. You wouldn't want to tell the families that their relatives are dead and then go home without making sure you did what you could.

Also assuming that weight isn't an issue, the controller being $30 makes redundancy easy. Just like every other kid playing video games, simply have a second one in case the first one fails.

It's small, cheap and replaced in seconds.

How lucky it has adjustable ride height and obviously doesn't run the fan outside of racing.

There is an interview with the driver on the Archie Hamilton racing YouTube where he shows the wheel in depth including the paddles.

There is no need to run the fans at all or at least not nearly at full speed on public roads. So I would expect the dust cloud to not be there during operation on public roads.

Also the output it filtered so there are no rocks or other debris thrown into the car behind. That was already the case on the prototype raced at Goodwood.

But there is the more up to date 14 and 16-inch model with a better keyboard, 120hz screen and updated chassis. This one seems to be some sort of thing to simply hit a price point for the entry level "pro" model. Faster charging, better display and fan for sustained loads, otherwise exactly the same.

Or to satisfy the needs of the few who actually do use the touchbar and don't want it to be abandonware after just two generations.

True. I guess it's the slightly enhanced version of the M1 Air. Additional connectivity, touchbar and a fan for sustained loads. If that's not required, might as well save the $400 and buy an Air as they're the same in all other aspects.

It is. It's the first M1 model still with the touchbar and the old display. So far it hasn't been discontinued, but de-facto replaced by the current 14 inch model.

Because unless your applications need to store lots of things in memory, it doesn't matter for performance. macOS is very good with memory management, so for a lot of use cases 8gb is simply sufficient. The system as a whole is a lot faster than the '15 Air.

That being said, the lowest config is often something that is just there to meet a price point for advertising purposes, not what Apple actually expects people to buy. They've been doing this for decades. 16gb was the "standard" in 2015 already for most machines.

Look up Kingpin Roboclocker. That's the closest anyone has gotten to develop a fully automated system that could be developed into something you could run for extended periods of time in the right environment.

Well, partially with good insulation, Vaseline or plastidip coating.

And partially, you just don't. It'll freeze over and since this is for competition and not daily use, that is okay. Usually nothing gets damaged, sometimes it does. Extreme OC is expensive.

Actually they did it for a PR event with ASUS to get the record when the platform launched.

Liquid Helium is too expensive and difficult to handle otherwise. Even for extreme overclocking.

As a non-American, I have no idea what kind of damage hurricane Katrina did. As far as I am concerned, there was some wind. Enough to make international news, but that's about it.

But when I see "comparable to a nuke" at least I know immediately that this is a major event. A hurricane, powerful as it may be, is harder to grasp for a comparison.

It's like they're asking us to pirate everything.

Doesn't mean we need yet another one of those.

Honestly starcraft has taught me the opposite of that. It taught me that paying attention and making things up on the spot works well into 5k MMR (upper 90th percentile of performance).

It taught me that most people overthink. Then go and try to do fancy things without doing basic things correctly first.

I believe a fair amount of that translates into real life. People think too much about non important things and neglect the actually important stuff in the process.

So instead of sometimes one of the two not being accepted, you want me to carry 50 different ones and have 2/3 rejected?

No, thank you.

That sounds like a good method, given the time. But I'd like to argue that some people are simply not smart enough to have enough reflection and thoughts about anything. They need someone else to feed them a theory that fits their view on the world. And that's that. No going back from it.

But why is the audio quality fine for example on a facetime call. If the two way standard is that bad, wouldn't it be universally bad?

Beyond that, is anyone working on a better one. I can see using AirPods as normal wireless headset if it wasn't for above described issue. They're great otherwise.

If you do some text processing, some email and generally office software, 8gb is absolutely enough. Beyond that it's not anymore. 16gb is where most people with more serious applications are happy. The cool kids have 32gb. Anybody who needs even more knows it.

While that might be true and I am happy that you're happy, this is something different. Intel has competitive products to your cpu, outright better ones, too.

To Ryzen 4000(mobile) they don't. It's not even close.

It's nice that they thank their "essential workers" now.

Meanwhile all the essential workers are like. Cool. Where is the money though. A "thanks" gives you a warm feeling, but doesn't pay the bills.

They bought HGST, not Seagate.

So they sold like 50 CPUs in Japan?

So now, next question. Have they done anything in there. They've caught the intruders, good on them. But as a security guy myself I am asking: did they check ALL electronics for tampering as well as do a basic bug sweep.

I am not saying it was, in fact I don't think the courthouse who let's them rot in jail now gives a damn, but a thorough test could also test whether after catching intruders the court bothers to check their equipment. Something added/manipulated is sometimes worse than something stolen.
