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

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...

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?

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.'...

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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...

That is also true of most people, think of the idiotic 'War on terror' wasting the resources of the USA. Stupidity is the default state, but if an AI gets stuck, at least it will change its approach. Separately, the Army has found that the AI is handicapped in field tests by the slow response of...

Anyone who has the skill to build this malware is surely also going to have more than one domain available as a backup. So this seizing of one domain is just more security kabuki. The government sponsored hackers are smart. Years ago, they hacked RSA, which made most of the key tokens for...
