    News Born in the USA: Prusa is Now Making 3D Printers and Filament In Delaware

    The lack of need for any "cloud" garbage or intermediaries like Bambu Labs and others are forcing currently? As USAFRet mentioned, having a well established brand, reliability streak and open standards, makes Prusa a leader in the market, even if their current line up might not match current...

    News Born in the USA: Prusa is Now Making 3D Printers and Filament In Delaware

    Now if only this can bring down the price of their filaments and bring their printers in line with the rest of the market's pricing. Bambu Labs is putting pressure on the market, so hopefully this allows Prusa to compete.

    News Intel Core Ultra 200V specs leak points to nine Lunar Lake SKUs and a single Ultra 9 variant

    So we're back to quadcore (P-cores) configurations, eh?

    News Microsoft now forces automatic OneDrive backups — feature enabled during clean Windows installs, users surprised with desktop icons and files

    From article: "In fairness to Microsoft, OneDrive is one of the more affordable cloud storage options on the market at $2 a month." If you're OK with EVERYONE having access to your data, then cloud offerings are just fine. You may have some privacy if you encrypt the data before letting it get...

    News AMD working with law enforcement after reports of massive data breach — hack may have uncovered future product details

    This is the Standard Operating Procedure these days for any of the 3/4 Lettered departments across any government/corporation. Most people won't bother to look beyond the headlines or what they're told, so, 60% of the time, it works, every time!

    News Intel offers new guidance on 13th and 14th Gen CPU instability — but no definitive fix yet

    All companies will have their ups and downs. Believing otherwise is short-sighted/fool hearty. How will Intel bounce back from these issues is my concern. Surely, they will, but will these issues require entirely new silicon? Will AMD try to capitalize on Intel's travails and make further...

    News The coolest case mods of Computex 2024

    Some, have way more time/resources than either you or I. This is their hobby/passion. Remember that not everything is made just for "you" and things become a little more simple, over time. Choice and options are always better than monotony and uniformity. Art is truly in the eye of the...

    News Elon Musk drops lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman one day after criticizing Apple for using ChatGPT

    "This lawsuit is another direct example of Musk’s attacks on OpenAI. But if his claims are unsubstantiated (or have a shaky foundation), he needs to drop them or the courts could reveal how petty they are." I think even the casual observer and follower of Elon's child-like behavior will point...

    News Amazon Web Services introduces an 896-core instance — prices range from $150 to $400 per hour

    You don't think they have performance monitoring and other sniffers looking for exactly this kind of thing at this scale? Shirley they have systems in place to limit things because of the power usage needed with that many cores and the impact it would impose on the clusters and only open it up...

    News Nvidia shipped 3.76M data center GPUs in 2023 — dominates business with 98% revenue share

    I don't know. I would find it surprising that their yield rate for AI chips is better than the best available, and so, there should be significant product that does not pass the complete test suite for AI or higher end usage. They don't have to incur the cost of dealing with any issues those...

    News Intel Arc GPU hacked to work on a 64-core Arm Ampere system running Linux

    "Hacked" in this sense, probably should not be used as the "mainstream" usage in PC verbiage has it mean something else. I think the author means that they "hacked" together lots of code to get this to work were most would want to see custom/original code being used and/or modification of the...

    News Qualcomm goes where Apple won't, readies official Linux support for Snapdragon X Elite

    Possibly, but since most reasonable PC outlays, today, have way more storage than typical mobile devices, packing on several "common hardware setup" ROMs in a master distribution shouldn't be an issue. I know, this can be an problem for some purist that prefer a minimalist approach to...

    News Apple M4 benchmarks suggest it is the new single-core performance champ, beating Intel's Core i9-14900KS — incredible results of 3,800+ posted

    And I would find it surprising to see anyone else get the same performance out of the hardware as Apple even if they opened it up to alternative OSes. Apple would keep the best to themselves, nor am I convinced the MPAA/RIAA/Content Cartels would let it go without highly restrictive DRM which...

    News A keyboard enthusiast built a $3,400 electro-capacitive keyboard that supposedly gets rid of stabilizer noise

    Do they make any that aren't designed for Minimalist? All of the ones I have seen have all of the extra keys, an office user needs, removed. And should I also assume that ergonomic form factors are out with this layout? The noise from my keyboard is nothing in comparison to my office peers and...

    News TSMC details 12.8 Tbps on-package communication solution — an efficient silicon photonics interconnect for AI

    More likely, 20+ years as the industry has been talking about SiPho for at least 20 years with Intel showing some early progress 10+ years ago. Will be interesting to see this technology realized.
