What's driving the practical limit in FALD array size? That looks like they could pack 4x as many in just by using the space between the wells each is sitting in, and maybe 2-3x more if the wells could be shrunk in size.
At first I thought it might have been a standard m.2 card, but after counting pins on the connector it doesn't appear to have enough of them; which means it's apparently something proprietary. In that case you'd need to find someone making an...
I've never found those sort of adapters easy to use. I'd rather just get a set of small nut drivers.
I'm not sure if the standoffs are metric or inch sizes, but suspect for screwing into sheet metal the 'wrong' next size up driver will work...
I saw that listing had no original box. Never trust randoms to ship a monitor without the original packaging.
I've learned the same thing. New or used only if you can see it in person or they're someone you trust to ship.
At least it was eBay...
I wasn't really hopeful they would; but I keep seeing people claiming that burn in isn't a thing anymore and was curious if anything had actually changed or if there was still an unwritten "as long as you never show any static content on it"...
Please post back here whenever their burnin test has results. I'd be cautious about making the jump to OLED after only a single year of data since my main display would primarily be used for desktop too. My NEC 3090 was my primary display for...
Asus was one of the AIBs who was shipping the default profile with a 4096w 512a max power setting. Instead of the much lower 340w and 350a power targets they should.
They are essentially OC’ing the crap out of the chip as a default and letting...
I built my first computer (in 1978) based upon the z80 and the S100 bus. It was a tremendous learning experience designing and building boards for the system (lots of wire wrapping). Very fun times.
I've still got my copy of "the Z80...
When you're circling the bankruptcy drain - as implied by not paying anyone - it's a bit late to worry about anything like that. Not paying employees is the sort of thing that triggers swift govt action, if they're at that point I expect the...

I wonder if it's due to demand falling below a threshold needed to sustain it, or the wafer maker retiring the ultra-legacy process it's...
While 1.8" HDDs had a decent run for a few years in early ipods, I don't think the 1" HHD form factor ever went beyond the prototype stage. The amount of NAND you could stuff into a CF form factor made it DOA and not having any significant...
They should just call it Xbox 5 or Xbox V. Sony's next Playstation will likely be called PS6, and nobody will ever be confused. If Nintendo called the Wii U the Wii 2, then everyone would know that's the next generation console. The only...
