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...

Only if you bought from a third party. If you bought it from them directly don't expect to actually get a refund. They're bankrupt in all but name.

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...

https://www.techspot.com/news/102684-zilog-discontinuing-z80-microprocessor-after-almost-50-years.html 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...

Xbox Original! Cause it's not confusing enough.

It seems pretty common for sbc dev and embedded boards

Nvidia has been using a sodimm slot for their SoC’s for a long while. So it’s been around for a good while.

My first were 128 and 240 both for $200-250ish, after that I splurged $500+ on a 1TB one I'm still using. Whenever I get around to replacing this system (honestly past due at this point) it'll probably be a 4TB pcie5 drive. Probably overkill...

MSN Xbox Live Surface And probably time for at least one more half-baked branding to be born and die before it actually comes out.

Is that a horizontal Slocket? Everything old really is new again. 🤣

Sick straw man argument. Yes, your $5k laptop is badass and shouldn’t be underestimated. Now let’s talk about the $1400 dollar Apple laptops with 8gb ram that hit EOL after 4 years. They serve a similar purpose to those shitty, parts bin Acer...

I love these threads. So much artificial pain, so many feelings get hurt.

All you did was brag. You provided no numbers. Like a vegan announcing their diet to the whole bar when they walk in. Prolly do have more than me, my pc is 8years old now and only 64gb ram. Phone is iphone 13pro and thats what 6GB? Hardware...

Anyone know is is/are the owner(s)? Where are they based out of? Reading through this thread, EVGA is "dead to me."

Assuming that the story actually played out as described, then that is 100% unacceptable on EVGA's part. If they had included replacement cables, then that would be different. But they were literally setting this person up for failure. EVGA's...

Hopefully overall net positive “To address this, the University of Cambridge has developed a new OLED design that better controls the light from a blue-light-emitting diode and reduces its power consumption. The blue light-emitting diodes are...

Updating the specs for higher tiers to align with what are premium specs today isn't a bad thing. I dislike them setting different refresh rates for laptop and desktop displays though, that's just going to add confusion. I do wish they'd added...
