I know it's arbitrary, but $69 is too much. $100 is far too much. $50 or less is the sweet spot where I consider it worthwhile. This is from a U.S. reader's perspective. As others have pointed out, other countries this is even more outrageously priced.

The big "Nope" from me is that there is no mention at all of fewer/no ads for the high price they are asking. I'll be honest, if I'm directly subsidizing your content, I don't want to see ads. (I mean, I don't want to see ads anyway, but they were the way the site was getting paid with no...

I know it's an extra cost, but what about optical between the controller and the slot? It's only a few inches replaced, but it would help.

I mean, this is the same thing as a certain era of games not running on AMD CPUs because they were targeted only at Intel back when it had 95+% of the market for CPUs. It's the same reason every website targets Chrome. Why care about any standards when you can just target the monopoly player...

Honestly, this monitor with a USB-C PD (>=90w) input for connecting my work laptop is my dream display.

Yeah, he pretty much seems hell bent on prepping the company for dismantling, or a private equity takeover pump and dump.

I yearn for the days when companies were a single company, not dozens of sub-companies. Mostly in the medical field, but technology is right up there as well.

I feel like this thing has more ports than a lot of $3000 laptops these days.

If you think DNS can handle UTF8-encoding, you underestimate how old the protocol is. To the other point, even with a base64 payload, if you treat it as plain text, nothing happens. Base64 encoding is only dangerous if it is decoded rather than treated as a string by the resolver. Unless the...

Dumb question: Wouldn't the easiest solution be to make sure that all DNS resolvers only handle plain text responses, with any other magic-byte embedded payloads being dropped on the floor?

It seems like people are nitpicking the semantics of two systems playing the game simultaneously, which definitely would be an example of a copied/pirated game. But the article says that Nintendo pulled their "ban first, expect the customer to fight later" maneuver simply because the game was...

I will say the one thing Intel does better than AMD is platform level cohesiveness in OEM laptops. Dell, Lenovo, etc. We have so many weird bugs in AMD based laptops, (wifi, webcam, etc, etc, etc.) which just doesn't seem to happen in Intel based systems. We've actually switched back to...

Sure there is. But right now we are in the part of the curve where people are throwing more hardware at the problem instead of trying to figure out better ways to solve the problem, or if the problem is even a problem to begin with.

Sadly I have learned first hand why you went with a Qualcomm wifi7 solution vs. Intel. Intel's currently available wifi7 solutions (BE series) have some proprietary thing going on where they will not function on AMD systems. Despite not being the CNVio solutions. It now doesn't matter which...

It's an access point, not a router.
