    News Vendor crams 128 CPU cores and 28,416 GPU cores into AIO workstation

    I've worked in a hospital as an IT guy for 4 years and as far as I know, medial images don't need a lot of processing power. They even have their own standard, PACS, but this only used for storage and distribution of the images. Fujitsu Siemens makes the hardware and HP Z-series workstations...

    News Intel CEO's compensation still trails AMD CEO's by half — despite a significant boost in 2023

    Nope, it's greed, plain and simple. And blatant disrespect for ordinary customers while shareholders getting always more. And when things go awry, guess what suckers have to save them? Governments they otherwise despise because of taxes, why not let them burn for once?

    News 5-Year-Old Radeon RX 580 2048SP Gets 16GB VRAM Upgrade

    Yup, I have a RX 580 4GB model and most of the time the core is at 100% but at full HD the RAM is sometimes only partially used. But all in all a decent card for it's price. And they still ask $ 129 for a 6 year old card?!?

    News Germany to Pour $22 Billion into Chip Production: Intel, TSMC to Benefit

    Well, we do take our rights as workers seriously over here. 20 days of paid leave is the legal minimum plus some 5-ish paid holidays and probably a few more because we don't live to work but work to live. We're not slaves dude... Also. they should change to become like us, not the other way around.

    News Microsoft to Remove Multiple Folder Options from File Explorer

    Who cares, those are settings you set once, like Show hidden files or Show libraries. What we really need is a tabbed Explorer or one with 2 panes instead of we having to open 2 instances. And let us save the layout of those things somewhere... I personally hate the Hide folder merge conflicts...

    News LG StanbyME Go 27LX5 Portable Monitor Targets Picnickers

    A monitor for picnickers? Can life, according to the makers and people that came up with this thing, get any sadder? People go picnicking to be outside, enjoy some nature and you'd have them carry around this huge ass monitor for what, a more immersive outdoor experience and addiction to their...

    Review Gigabyte M27QP QHD 170 Hz Gaming Monitor Review: Blistering Performance and Lots of Color

    What did you expect? We can't keep cramming more and more transistors on the same space and/or ramp up the frequency, there actually are physical constraints to about everything. We haven't reached them yet when it comes to storage capacity and perhaps memory and network or bus speeds but for a...

    News How to Force Quit Windows

    I've had cases where I just could not shut down or restart Windows when you machine isn't responding as it should be but you can still do stuff, unlike a hard lock or a crash. You can issue the command in various ways but it just doesn't work and you need to power cycle your box to get out. Logs...

    News Largest Bitcoin Miners See $1 Billion Wiped From Value

    Yours is not entirely correct either... Most banks worldwide work as the example given by @edzieba , they're only required by law to have 1% of the deposits in assets in the Euro-zone, in 2012 it still was still 2%. This policy is dictated to them by the European central bank, and in the...

    News Honeywell Promises World’s Best Quantum Computer by Mid-2020

    JP Morgan Chase wants to use quantum computing to get an edge? Don't trust banks acquiring new technology, they'll just use it to screw their clients and the world over, as long as greedy people call the shots there will be another crisis like in 2008! 💩

    [SOLVED] Mobo, CPU, RAM and GPU for € 500?

    Hey peeps, A friend asked me to upgrade his PC but with all those different CPUs and GPUs out there there it's a bit too much choice for me. I want to assemble new system for about € 500 that will reuse the case, PSU (650 Watt) and storage that'll be connected to a full-HD monitor. The...

    Over here the prices are ridiculous, and people keep paying them, WTF? € 480 for 16 GB RAM extra!!! And the same amount per 512 GB SSD storage extra!!! So 4TB is € 3.500 extra. 32 GB with identical specs for a laptop costs between € 160 and 250...
