    News $3,699 audiophile media server is powered by a standard NUC with a mystery CPU — you still have to buy your own storage, too

    White paper for the device. It doesn't get into too much detail, but mentions modern Intel CPUs and at least 4GB of RAM plus a 64GB SSD for OS use. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pUj-yFsAHPgTuV1TbcESA4va1_mxv1M_VQPJV___nuQ/edit?pli=1#heading=h.aufgjiao1xj5

    News T-Mobile Home Internet Was Great, Until My Service Died And the Company Couldn’t Fix It

    In places there is enough cell site density that other nearby towers can absorb the extra connections when a site outage is scheduled. In more rural areas there may not be another site close enough to connect to. Customers get cut off all the time, I make it a point to perform a soft lock where...

    News T-Mobile Home Internet Was Great, Until My Service Died And the Company Couldn’t Fix It

    There are other factors besides tower upgrades. Copper theft is a problem. Some thieves resort to stealing the cabling that carry data between the Baseband in the shelter and the antennas/radios on the tower. Those cannot be replaced that quickly. I have heard of other crews mistakenly removing...

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Thinks AMD's Radeon VII Is 'Underwhelming'

    Maybe he is sour about getting beat by a woman getting good products to market better than he was able to execute with RTX series. He is probably also berating AMD products because it is a smoke and mirror tactic to draw attention away from his own pathetic performance as of late by shouting out...

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Thinks AMD's Radeon VII Is 'Underwhelming'

    Jensen Huang is underwhelming... He needs is probably scared due to nVidia being worth half as much from September to November in the stock market. Only an arrogant bastard would berate another company like he is doing especially since Freesync is open source and isn't weighted down with...

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Thinks AMD's Radeon VII Is 'Underwhelming'

    I think Jensen Huang is underwhelming... What an arrogant bastard. He's probably scared because nVidia lost half it's value from September to November in stock market. He needs to man up and focus on selling their products rather than bashing the competition that is gaining on him and has open...
