Well, I suppose that depends on what your WAN speed is :) In our area there are already multi-gig home Internet options.

Synology started recommending their own drives a while back, and hasn't added newer drives over 16TB capacity for compatibility. I've started using QNAP as replacement.

Never underestimate AMD's ability to mess up. I'm cautiously optimistic, but if they release the 9070xt at $700, they missed the point. That being said, I'm still pretty happy with my 7800xt.

Unless these are significantly cheaper than the 4060TI cards, this is devastating if true. IMO 8GB should only be for 5050 class or lower.

I thought it was the FX5800? I'm wondering why NVIDIA is even producing something this size when they shouldn't even need to this generation?

I get switching to 9000 series to match with Ryzen...but why switch to 90x0 for models instead of 9x00? Makes no sense, especially when naming has to change next cycle anyway due to numbering running out.

Ditto. Even Co-Pilot does not require an "AI PC". As someone who works in IT, I have only had one question about it, along the lines of "What is the benefit of an AI PC?" I honestly didn't have a good answer for them.

Yup this explains the bsod issues when I was trying the insider builds. Will definitely update my 770 2TB before the 24h2.

My first graphics card (that wasn't S3 in a pre-built PC) was the ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 128 that competed with the GeForce 256. It was me and my brother's first PC build, using 1.2GHz AMD Thunderbird CPU in an MSI mobo. We picked that card for the connectivity and having no idea about graphics...

Interesting. I would be interested to understand how your results are so much different than say, hardware unboxed. Are the non-canned benchmark sections of the games that much different? This really is an interesting topic.

Honestly people really shouldn't be using FAT32 on larger flash drives most of the time due to the 4GB file size limit. The cluster size increase and wide availability and compatibility of exFAT makes this even less appealing. There are use cases for FAT32 certainly, but not over 32GB. I'm...

"AMD's issue crops up as its rival Intel has taken an increasing amount of criticism for allowing crashing issues to fester for months before announcing a fix days ago. AMD clearly doesn't want to make the same mistake. " Smart move. I'd much rather a few weeks delay to potentially faulty CPUs.

Almost certainly has to do with breaking modern AES encryption. Many firewall vendors are already supporting post-quantum encryption for VPN tunnels to lessen the risk of harvest now decrypt later attacks.

The US is big. Really big. Getting broadband everywhere is much more difficult than most other countries because there are literally hundreds of square miles where there are just a few thousand people. West Texas for example. Of course, in Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York...

Sounds like you did about everything you could to make this sound appealing to enthusiasts, when it really is just the fourth release of the same part: the i9 13900K. Literally exactly the same silicon except 400MHz higher boost clock and 200MHz higher base clock. But hey: let's compare using...
