I actually like having a couple USB-C docks for my steamdeck, keep smaller ones in different bags, the larger dock out at home.

Honestly that's basically what I did last winter mining, didn't run the heater at all really, and got some good eth. This year I'm just back to to running Boinc like I used to.

Just got my $50 box Vt7000 USB c dock Datavault 75 Totes worth it!

Ended up with a VT7000 dock from the $50 box, pretty stoked about that one VT7000 Dock The $20 Box came with a 128 GB NVME drive and a datavault box.

I have a few Alexa devices, but rarely use them, I just don't have a ton of things that integrate well with them. I don't use voice anything really, not even voice to text on phones. My parents use theirs all the time and have a bunch of...

For enterprise bulk storage, large-file backup/recovery, and cold storage/archives these are excellent. None of that requires high random I/O capabilities, that is what flash storage is for.

I'm honestly more interested to see the Innosilicon cards since they're using the Imagination Technology IP. Would be interested to see how the older A series performs, or B series if the new cards use it, but mainly wanting to see the CXT IP...

RIP. There is no better voice, He was vengeance.

Conroy and Mark Hamill elevated Batman and The Joker to new heights with their voice performances both in the animated TV series and video games...the Arkham games would not be the same without them

Phoronix review https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-epyc-9654-9554-benchmarks Looks great, SR should be interesting to see against this.

Slightly older news but it seems to check out, in all the excitement over the melting 4090 connectors this one seems to have been missed. https://www.gizbot.com/computer/news/nvidia-driver-improves-performance-25-percent-rtx-30-gpus-083052.html...

You could put a lot of AT&T Purchases up there, I'd put the time Warner up as a bigger oof though. I actually think that was a good purchase for them.

Not really, the skype patents and tech were rolled into Teams and their communications platforms which in Business are a big deal, and more so in the remote office environment.
