    [SemiAccurate] upcoming Nvidia chip has a problem that doesn't have a fix as of now

    SA did call out Intel's tech troubles very early. Even though the details were paywalled, they did provide a useful straw in the wind. So I'm more inclined to believe there is some substance here.

    Dell monitors causing my Windows to crash

    Funny, my U2723QE is running nicely off the DP on my old Gigabyte 6700. Admittedly only 30 FpS but a fine 4K picture. Used for text and still images, no gaming.

    Dr. Ian Cutress Explains The Hype Around RISC-V

    That sounds rather like the Mill conceptually. What am I missing?

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    Very frustrating. I'm no display guru, I just want to buy something that works OK when plugged in. It would be nice not to have to mess with menu settings that I don't really understand in the hopes of improving the picture I see. I don't game much, just want a reasonable color representation...

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    Are you sure? The video shows the text at the top of the screen super fuzzy, whereas the bottom of the screen in quite clear. Is this an imaging artifact from your recorder or is this what your eyes see in practice?

    China Bars Purchases of Micron Chips, Escalating US Conflict

    The Chinese targeted Micron because Micron cut its China research effort after the US imposed sanctions, unlike Samsung or SK Hynix. Comment quoted in the Asia Times: 'Those who want to eat Chinese food but want to smash the Chinese pot at the same time, should think clearly.'...

    HD Size choices for a new NAS

    Doesn't that get pretty warm inside? I tried that once with a Tektronixs printer, all the clothes in that closet were very warm and comfy.

    SSD drives versus USB flash drives for backup storage

    Are thumb drives any more reliable than SD cards? I have lots of photos on SD cards that are 5-15 years old, one or two cards per trip. They still seem to work fine, although I've no objective measure. Are photos more tolerant of read errors than other files?

    Adding 6 more TB of SSD space to my Rig

    Why?? Marginal performance gains with no improvement in risk of failure.

    PC gaming is the only gaming market to experience growth in CY 2022

    Not sure about the price trend, Digitimes reports big cuts in orders for the Taiwanese chip suppliers, so there will be big pricing pressure to keep the fabs running.

    Robotic Patrol Dog

    Easy fix for that, just deploy the dogs in teams. Sending out a single scout is bad practice anyway, if the scout is killed, no message goes back.

    The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)

    Has anyone here got any experience with the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD? It got a positive review from Tom's Hardware and I'm in the market for a better but affordable monitor.

    Bitcoin crumbles below $40,000 on China crypto warning

    Outstanding charts. They really add the needed perspective on this latest Chinese statement. Separately, think of bitcoin as a relatively illiquid asset. The prices fluctuate greatly, just as the prices of precious metals for instance.

    Bitcoin crumbles below $40,000 on China crypto warning

    Iirc, the total bitcoin pool is only 21 million or so and over 17 million have been mined already. So the Chinese action should be quite bullish, it simply cuts the potential bitcoin supply by about 20%.

    the Truth about the GPU / CPU Shortage finally explained

    Presumably the decision to embargo the chip supply for Huawei forcefully reminded everyone that there are serious risks involved in running 'just in time' production programs. Logically the industry shifting to add more cushion creates excess demand, leading to the usual double and triple...
