I wouldn't buy a new GPU for a 20% uplift in performance - especially not when Nvidia would increase prices and TDP by more than 20% to get there. If in 5 years I'll have to make the hard choice between 1440p144 high or 1440p120 ultra, I think I'll manage to find a way to survive. Come back when...

RTX 5060 to will probably be slightly faster than a 4060 ti, which started at $400. So I fully expect the fictional MSRP of the 5060 ti to start at $500, with actual cards starting at $600, and a street price that won't matter, because it's a paper launch. But the street price of the RTX...

Maybe instead of trying to victim-blame each user's poor/slow Windows 11's experience on the hardware they could just, you know, speed up the frustratingly slow animations in their ugly, horribly designed GUI. I promise Windows 11 feels exactly as slow and miserable on my overclocked 9900X...

This feels bad.

See you next month for the next entry in the weirdly recurring "Jensenbot 3000 is hoo-man look at food. beep borp!" personal PR campaign. Seriously, if Nvidia's AI is supposed to be so good, then why does it keep telling Jensen that people will start to like him if he keeps posing for pictures...

So Nvidia expects tech companies to just buy a new slightly-better multi-billion dollar AI super computer every year? Nobody's found a way to even get close to paying for their current ones yet. Where is that kind of money supposed to keep coming from? I mean, in the short term they're trying...

That mobo is toast, with or without a new bios chip. I'd guess the flashing was taking so long because it kept trying to verify written data, but couldn't - probably due to some other hardware failure. Maybe bad solder or a bad data trace. It could be a failure that somehow magically only...

What is the significance and scale of "time to first token"? Is it something like a multi-second workload takes 1us to get started instead of 12uS? As in a workload that takes 2,000,012 uS would now take 2,000,001 uS? Because that kind of "12x" improvement would be insignificant, uninteresting...

Koduri is directly responsible for putting both AMD and Intel into terrible positions to compete against Nvidia. Not just in AI, but in everything. Why would anybody expect him to have a strategy to fight Nvidia? He's the one who cleared a path for Nvidia to build a monopoly so easily. He's...

It looks like you're trying to pwn some noobs. Would you like some help with that?

Feels desperate.

Apple is still doing it's annoying decoy pricing thing where they make the highly-nerfed base model's price seem semi-reasonable so they can steal headlines about how the new Mac is a "good value", and "They slightly dropped the price of their horrendously outdated base model, buy now, buy now...

The real 4th D was the friends we made along the way.

The Neat Bumblebee 2 is still a good deal, even though some larger influencers have noticed it and it's gone up to $30. The 512 Audio Tempest will get you a full sized capsule and shock mount at $50 (junk stand though). You can still get a Blue Ember or a 512 Audio Skylight ($50) along with a...

Keyboard/Mouse support on consoles is better than you might expect.
