    Chrome silently downloads 4GB AI model on your PC

    What does this so called AI model do? What does it accomplish? Is it part of the Chromium code and while large in essence just an update that happens to be AI related? I get curious about the full context. If we are unhappy about a 4gb AI download, would a 4gb enhancement to the Chrome engine...

    AMD officially announces 9950X3D2, dual 3D V-Cache CCD 16-core/32-thread AM5 chip

    I wonder if maybe some soft/firmware level issue still persist, maybe with the task scheduler and AMD wants to fix it before anyone finds it. The whole we dont have problems we dont admit to Corporate BS. All kinda silly no matter the actual reasons, in the end, if they want these sites will...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    What motherboard are you running? AM4 I think based on CPU/Ram. The 5800x3d is a good choice, short of getting a new Mobo (am5), new ram, and a new CPU, all at the same time. Which was expensive even before the ram apocalypse. Dont know what else your son uses the computer for - assuming web...

    NVIDIA Launches Auto Shader Compilation for Faster Game Loading and Less Stuttering

    Sorry I don't mean to sound like I am whining about first world problems rather than real issues. Some games do a mandatory compile before running. Each time or just after Assets are updated. If we can implement a mandatory age verification app, why not an addition to dx12 to manage shader...

    NVIDIA Launches Auto Shader Compilation for Faster Game Loading and Less Stuttering

    Please clarify so that I understand. I know what a ram disk is and am comfortable with CMD/Powershell etc - where I am not following is using a NVidia directory and NV cache for an AMD GPU.

    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX Pro PCIe Sound Card review

    Just to set a baseline: I don’t consider myself an audiophile — more of a tin‑eared gamer, honestly. That said, there are a few things I pay attention to. Even though I find the Realtek onboard audio “good enough,” I rarely use it. I live in an apartment‑style condo and really don’t want to...

    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX Pro PCIe Sound Card review

    Nice thought and idea - modern board and all and both of my PCIE slots are in use. Suppose I could rig an m.2 to pcie adapter but is that worth the effort over my built in Realtek ALC4080 USB‑audio codec paired with ASUS’s ROG SupremeFX enhancements. I guess one neat thing would be having the...

    AMD officially announces 9950X3D2, dual 3D V-Cache CCD 16-core/32-thread AM5 chip

    Random thought - is there a direct(ish) connection between the two caches? To help when a thread jumps cores?

    AMD officially announces 9950X3D2, dual 3D V-Cache CCD 16-core/32-thread AM5 chip

    Wonder if I would even see/feel a difference on my system based on use - I am sure benchmarks would see something but how much I wonder?

    A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

    A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

    Just for the sake of argument, can your car run Doom? Not is it currently installed, but could it be made to do so? Can it execute arbitrary code? I dont know what you have (and it doesnt really matter) there are vehicles out there that are general capable systems. What about all those...

    A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

    Just saw another article on the topic, lists the law as applying only to general purpose computers.... Does that include my Apple //c+ and //gs? All those new to market Commodore 64's? -edit: typo
