    News AMD released instructions for running DeepSeek on Ryzen AI CPUs and Radeon GPUs

    You got it backwards or perhaps didn't really understand the article. The privacy issues apply to their apps, website and other products that links to the privacy policy. Honestly every AI company collects similar load of information, just not sending to China if that matters to you. However...

    Review EDATec Passive Coolers for Raspberry Pi 5 and 4 Review: Keeping Cool

    The table shows the reverse. One of them must be backwards. Which is actually faster?

    News Linux market share approaching 4.5% for first time, could hit 5% by 1Q25

    The "one app" situation is definitly true. These trends is helping to reduce such situation. I doubt the pre-install is a meaningful factor though. If one hasn't used Linux before and doesn't know how to install it to try, they likely won't risk buying something may not satisify their need...

    News Linux market share approaching 4.5% for first time, could hit 5% by 1Q25

    From my experience, this is both Windows 11 messing around too much and Linux desktop has reached minimal viability for new hardware in the recent years. I used to have 4 Windows PCs and now I only have just one for VR and gaming. All others are converted to Ubuntu or Fedora. Most of people are...

    News Gigabyte Motherboards Come With A Firmware Backdoor

    HOSTS file is a Windows feature. UEFI has its own network stack not depending on OS. That's why it can download latest firmware even without booting into any OS. You need to block the sites on the router and that might require a decent router with firewall capability.

    News 7-Zip App Vulnerability Grants Admin Privilege to Attackers

    Depends on the threat model, whether you consider your end user trusted or not. This is largely true for all local privilege escalation vulnerabilities. If you assume the local user is malicious, then you are totally right. People can actively write exploits, let alone copying some vulnerable...

    News ASMR for Gamers? Watch Police Steamroll $1.6 Million in Bitcoin Equipment

    I feel your points are for reusing or reselling, not recycling. Integrated circuits have lots of metal and other material that can be extracted and recycled effectively. There are quite a few recycling facilities near me that accept computer parts no matter how broken they are. I totally get we...

    News Gigabyte Apologizes for 'Made in China' Comment After Losing $550 Million

    I don't understand this obvious own-goal. As mentioned above, for people who don't read Chinese, it was explicitly spelled out that China accounts for 90% of their production in their apology. You can also see from the list of subsidiaries from their financial report [1] that all the...

    News Gigabyte Reportedly Blames Delayed Shipments on COVID-19 Spikes in CA

    Trying to help you read. I know you probably don't care about their well-being, but if your co-worker is sick and infectious, I doubt you would prefer that they keep working closely with you.

    News Asus Spins Up RTX 3090 Turbo With Blower-Style Cooler

    Having cards adjacent to each other will run warmer, but shouldn't cause massive thermal throttling, unless you are exaggerating the "massive" part. I have an open-air cooler 1660 (what a mistake, but the discount was huge) sitting beneath 1080 FE, covering the blower entirely. The 1080 lose...

    News Asus Spins Up RTX 3090 Turbo With Blower-Style Cooler

    In addition, these non-gaming workloads typically don't hit TDP because lots of game specific units like ROPs, TMUs, RT cores, etc are completely idle. While 2-slot blower might not be adequate at cooling with decent noise level for prolonged gaming, it could still be decent for non-gaming...

    News Faster Than Threadripper: How I Overclocked Ryzen 9 5950X to 6 GHz and a World Record

    It's kind of things cool to learn even though I will likely never do it myself. You still learn a bit here and there, like how CCD0 is always better than CCD1, by how much, etc. I find overclockers usually go through more samples than a normal review, which provides a more complete picture of...

    News ASRock Brings AMD's EPYC 'Rome' to Mini ITX

    The other 4-pin is for HDD power as listed in the spec. The specifically said 5Vsb for the 4-pin in power connector part in spec. I am pretty sure 8-pin CPU connector, whether split into two 4-pin or not, can not provide 5V.

    News ASRock Brings AMD's EPYC 'Rome' to Mini ITX

    The power connector is quite unusual. 1 4-pin and 2 8-pin. While high-end consumer PSUs do have two 8-pin connectors in addition to the 24-pin, what's that 4-pin (PSU signal and 5Vsb)? Is that the same molex connector or some other pin layout?

    Do It Like Tom's: Calibrating Your Monitor With CalMAN RGB

    Do you have links where I can buy it? Why I see $150 on Amazon? I am not even sure if it's the same thing. These packages are so confusing...http://www.amazon.com/Video-Calibration-Starter-CalMAN-Software/dp/B0040MTJZ6/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395622205&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Calman+sRGB
