They refund the processor, but you still keep the useless and expensive motherboard.

That's irrelevant to my argument. It's like if you complain that python became the most used language after CPU became so powerful, that they allowed languages to waste power. It's true, but still the best CPU is the best CPU, and the best GPU is the best GPU.

The error was not going to microsoft, and agreeing to a common API for windows. After Windows demands an API, programmers can just target that API, and forget about the particular hardware.

It was the software what gave Nvidia the edge. Nvidia is always introducing the new stuff, like gsync, AI and DLSS. AMD plays catch up, and is always late and lower quality.

Processor naming has become a labyrinth. I can no longer determine a CPU's performance based on its name alone.

Double the thickness, fill it with batteries, and you can easily reach 4X/5X battery duration.

If it consumes more, more probably you have to upgrade your power supply, which adds 200/300$ to the cost of upgrade.

I used to read Anandtech everyday, until they adopted a spyware platform for comments. It was impossible to comment without registering with Disqus, so I left. My privacy is more important.

I had seen copilot installed on windows 11 through windows update for months already, not in new computers.

The fonts on the charts are unnecessarily tiny. They are ilegible. The name of the processor could be written on the right side of the axis, inside the bar. It would gain space to make the text larger.

The buyer is the one and only who decides the value. When you buy anything, you decide that his value is higher than his price. When you buy, you win the consumer surplus. It is a well established economic concept. AND the value is in the product, so you get 100% of the value, because YOU...

And to add insult to injury, hey change the organization on each windows update.

Settings app is broken. For example, many network settings can only be found together, and organized in the old control panel, and the settings app is useless. Try to make a bridge between the wifi, and Ethernet with the settings app. It's hell.

Those simulators are unrealistic. Rusia lost more than 8000 tanks in ukraine, and almost none was involved in tank to tank battle. Most tanks were destroyed by artillery, mines, drones, and portable rockets. Far more tanks got stuck in ditches and mud, and had to be abandoned, than the number...

I used to remove the battery, but newer laptops require to disassemble it to remove/disconnect the battery, and opening the case always causes some harm. That's why they should include the switch if they don't want to build a removable battery. Also, I had seen dead batteries that swell, and...
