I have several PiZeroW's and W2's installed inside devices acting as network-enabled monitors, digital sign boards, or remote terminals. The Zero W's though have mostly been relegated to functioning as WiFi-enabled USB keys, so I can remotely push files to them for firmware updates, displays...

The issue with the iPads and such and the benchmarks is very few things push the chips to 100% so what it translates to most is better battery. For most tasks we’re talking about going from 7s down to 6.2 seconds, 8% CPU/GPU utilization instead of 12% which nets you an extra hour over a day. Or...

Struggle to buy 1 from an actual Pi retailer at cost, 350 of them at a 1000% Amazon markup? Probably cheaper to buy a second-hand Altera system.

Honestly, Intel and AMD need some competition in the server space. ARM is popular for cloud-based servers, but what if you don't want to run something in the cloud? Your options are non-existent. I would welcome an ARM option, that was on an ATX form factor that wasn't a developer kit.

Yeah that Avago purchase back in 2016 changed the company a lot, I don't know if I would call them a US company per se but it's likely close enough, apparently not close enough for the Trump administration, but that was then and this is now. Bah the tech sector is going to hell in a shopping...

Switch 2 (or whatever they call it) My current one is a first gen original so once I replace it I will be modding it.

Honestly I’d just rather the new Switch, I can play the PC at home when I’m out and about or lounging sometimes simple is better and it doesn’t get much simpler than Nintendo.

Like I said, get it while the getting is good.

IF, you are connected with Win 11, on a machine with a TPM 2, and you are using a Microsoft account with that system. Then I can say it works very smoothly, I am using it on my personal device through an outlook.com account, and at the office it’s managed through Intune and O365 and so far both...

I’ve had to pull more than my fair share of data back from dead drives and with most people choosing to “recycle” and replace their devices rather than repair them I’d bet more than a little personal information gets leaked that way. This will help that a lot. Performance wise the TPM chips will...

I’ve only had one experience with Asus warranty and it was painless, I see now I am certainly the exception to the rule. Board shipped to me with an old bios so it refused to detect my CPU, they just swapped the board. I think ill avoid them for a bit regardless.

Games get weird if you try to really push them across threads it’s very easy to enter deadlock states or find yourself waiting for memory access.

https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1GQ22N/ I thought they were Chinese-based, but everything I see says they are American... I thought they were bought up by China back in their 2016 merger but I guess not. It is followed up with this though...

And with Meta releasing the Horizon OS to vendors to they can make their own headsets, Apple might have a lot more competition in that space then they would have had otherwise. https://about.fb.com/news/2024/04/introducing-our-open-mixed-reality-ecosystem/

Buyer's remorse paired with a simply whelming experience was bound to result in these popping up all over.

The CoWoS process is specialized but it was formerly used by a lot of companies… Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Meta, etc… If this is true it completely screws their datacenter AI plans, as well as a lot of other things.

Headquarters in Singapore, close ties to the CCP and Huawei. It’s why Broadcom was named in the whole 5G fiasco, and why they will be in the impending 6G one too.

Factual answer no, no they couldn’t. The US Govt would not allow that to fall into the hands of China cutting off access to the closest thing to a modern node from a US company on US soil.

I just got off a call with HP and in it they detailed that they do enable BitLocker automatically and it's part of their onboard security platform for business and enterprise clients, it's part of what they call their HP Wolf Security which is a whole platform and part of their Pro Support and...

Giggles in 6000 lumens...

I built a machine with their most recent image yesterday and it didn't do this, but I can't say it wont be something coming in the future. But I do see that on April 26'th Microsoft added some new never before available (to me) options in the admin portal, so I really want to find a piece of...

We as gamers, know it's true, game developers, and journalists know it's true. It is 100% true, but Microsoft in their infinite wisdom seems to believe that Game Pass subscriptions will soar and this will be a bygone issue in due time. So at Microsoft, there are several very distinct camps about...

The other side of this is Game Pass itself is killing XBox game sales, there is a big internal fight over this at Microsoft currently because while subscription income is good and consistent it is flat and it is not covering the spread of game sales. So when a good game gets added to Game Pass...

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/intel-18a-cpus-on-target-for-2025-launch-ceo-confirms Intel please don't f' this up. One interesting sidebar to all this news is that in 2022, Gelsinger announced that Intel 18A was "ahead of schedule." At the time, he noted that it was scheduled for 2025...

4.4 Ghz in an iPad? The M3 in a MacBook hits 4.05

You can but in my experience, I have seen those keys rotate from things you wouldn't expect such as drive firmware updates, Bios updates, and supposedly (I've never seen it myself) Windows updates. So if I had to enable it on my personal machine I would tie it to an online account, to be safe...

On a business or enterprise side, this would be a Nightmare to navigate for anybody not already using an MDM which most small and medium businesses aren't, on the enterprise side it would be relatively trivial as PCs are more often than not auto-enrolled into their chosen MDM before they even...

Here's the catch, there isn't a password exactly, I mean there is but only if you have your devices registered to an online account, otherwise you need to use a USB key... This seems like a gross overreach. I know Microsoft is desperate to get more subscribers and what not but this is too much...

People are broke, and there is now a subscription for everything. People are being forced to cut corners and turn to other avenues to get their content, which obviously (yarrr) isn't part of a subscription. Apple arcade growth is flat, Sony PlayStation's growth flat, Microsoft Game Pass flat...

It could be as simple as the "Ultra" part being towards the upper limit for that form factor's power envelope.

Microsoft is so big and filled with so many clueless desk jockeys with so much pointless busy work to justify half their staff that shit like this happens all the time just because somebody needed to make a decision to justify their jobs. And the person who made the decision is probably some...

Yeah more than once I could not figure out why my battery just shit itself over a weekend.

I mean… no… This is intended by design. Microsoft has made it pretty clear to the business clients that it does not upload any of your data to the cloud for training or inferencing. They make us go through a huge flagging process verifying that all data shares in the enterprise are correctly...

But isn’t that exactly what the allnetworks flag does. Because implementing it requires you to kill all active network sessions before the flag will successfully enable which is easiest done by enabling airplane mode, enabling the allnetworks switch, then disabling airplane mode. Which should...

Nah, Windows 11 is already a horrendous overreach, taking that away or others like it would land them with a huge EU/California lawsuit for sure. Microsoft is skirting some laws enough as it is under the president that "well the others do it so we can too" and that may be changing in the near...

Just finished doing this on a pair of Win Server 2022 Standard installs. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf Because they broke it there too. Just skipped the part...

So Apple adds the flags to fix the issue in iOS13, but the wireguard-go fork that they are reskinning doesn’t support it so it’s Apples fault?

The M Series clocks down far better than the A series clocks up. I’ve got a bunch of the M1 Airs and Pro’s and they do some decent work. Far more capable in the Adobe suites than the A13 and A14 based iPads same for iMovie and GarageBand. We tested lots of laptop options for our media arts kits...
