Intel learning the ........................."fine wine" ;)

Big selection this week. Manor Lords has nice graphics. Convergence graphics remind me of CSS circa 2004 :) Still waiting for new Grim Dawn DLC..................

One thing that would be nice is.......if manufacturers put an expected life in normal use...............at least you would have an idea of when the drive would probably be on it's last legs and replace it before it dies completely. Then again if that's 15 years maybe most people would forget.

Firefox just updated and said up to 25% faster - test on speedometer 3.0............................ok I would call that no change.

yeppers owens cornings profits correlates perfectly with the price increases on fibreglass insulation forever to 2015 ish status quo, then jack the price, then covid - then too bad for you suckas and laugh all the way to the corp bank hurts the small guy and the economy and housing/homes...

Interesting. Most people say mint. Would Debian or Mint be more intuitive for a non-linux user coming over from windows?

I think it's way worse than that. Building my own home was on my bucket list, but after covid, prices are still ludicrous for basic building materials (among many other items). Before covid a bag of firbreglass insulation was $30CAD now it's $90.............owens corning basically has a...

Be nicer if it was a laptop part with no need for external power. Also be nice if there was an RX6600 laptop chip in this form factor as well with no external power requirement. All those small cases with no decent gpu due to size and power.................. Coworker bought a used HP or Dell...

"This is key to what AMD is trying to achieve—CPU and graphics performance in the league of the M3 Pro and M3 Max at comparable PCB and power footprints. The iGPU of the "Strix Halo" processor is based on the RDNA 3+ graphics architecture, and features a massive 40 RDNA compute units. These...

Tech report did this testing a long, long time ago, was probably all MLC and way larger nm node size. It would be interesting if @W1zzard would run a test/review like this. https://techreport.com/review/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead/

"This move aims to maintain TSMC's target gross margin of 53% amidst rising expenses such as inflation and elevated electricity costs." classic Imagine every single company on the planet did this.................set prices to maintain a gross margin target of 53%!?!

Haven’t gave it an honest go. Should last a long long time. If you had a small qlc ssd and were constantly uninstalling and installing new games constantly I could see hitting the TBW mark before the warranty in yrs mark. But even then drive should still be fine.

I was being sarcastic. Doesn’t matter to me if each game was 1TB. Lots of SSDs on the store shelves . The bit I was being sarcastic about is that the dev says SSD when a hdd would work.

And wear out the ssd. Whoa whoa there lol Just pointing out how big games have gotten. I think Borderlands goty was about 10GB ish?
