    5800X3D official specs listed on AMD web site

    Lower base and boost clocks? Be interested to see if the cache offsets it in typical workloads.

    Intel officially announces new $20bn fab near Columbus, OH

    It's confusing to look at Intel's production. Most of their fab lines are already in the US, assuming volume output is consistent. Though they have a bunch of "assembly facilities" elsewhere.

    Apple Developing Mental Health Monitor for iPhone

    Everything around here is always Chicken Little. You could set your watch to it.

    8 states to allow iphone and apple watch to be used as drivers license/state i.d.

    Tons of countries have eID/eIC already. It's gonna be okay.

    Windows 11 available on October 5

    If what I need to do in the OS takes the same number of clicks (which my vm install seems to suggest), then I don't care one way or the other about what the hot new UI design style is. Also it's Windows, so I know it has to do a million things I don't for millions of other people. Like every...

    How is Nintendo successful?

    I should have elaborated and said their current hardware. With two exceptions, Nintendo hardware has always been at least "in the hunt" when it was released. Those two exceptions being the original Wii, and the Switch. Historically, Nintendo has cared about graphics and gave their first party...

    How is Nintendo successful?

    I'd like to be their customer. Also I think it's a reach to say people truly like their hardware. People like the games, and are willing to deal with their hardware in order to play them. There's no question that the games would be objectively better on superior hardware.

    How is Nintendo successful?

    I would like to buy and play some of Nintendo's games, but on someone else's hardware. Their hardware is bad and has been for years.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Micro LED is likely not the next thing, or even a mass market thing, as the production is much more like silicon wafer lithography (insanely expensive) and less like "printing." The next thing is probably QNED. Electrically conducted self-emissive quantum dots. Looks like it can be produced more...

    A Better Way? (Dump Sound Card?)

    Not understanding is not weakness, nor is someone recognizing that a slur. My only intention was to hand over a wrench when what you asked for was a tool to turn bolts. If my direct approach came off as demeaning or insulting, I must apologize. Good luck.

    A Better Way? (Dump Sound Card?)

    You seem to be unable to accept that something that meets ONLY your use case doesn't exist. The difference between what you want and what I suggest is a few extra inputs. Companies make products that meet a variety of use cases, and this is the tool that exists that can complete your task. If...

    A Better Way? (Dump Sound Card?)

    You would use HDMI. So what you want is something that can amplify both 5 discrete speakers OR headphones and you can't wrap your head around why something like that doesn't exist in a smaller form factor? Okay...

    A Better Way? (Dump Sound Card?)

    You're looking for a proper surround receiver. It will exceed all of these requirements. It's really not complicated.

    Glorious GMMK TKL White Ice with (Feker)Holy Panda Switches and Aura caps. EVGA X17.

    What key do you use to 'Move Forward'?

    G13 thumbstick. I think spreading out your directional control over multiple fingers isn't living your best life.
