I haven't dug into it or tried it yet, but I did see this come across my feed earlier today: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18263513/microsoft-xbox-one-pc-games-support-streaming-wireless-display-app-feature Currently only supports controller input, but they may add keyboard and mouse later.

Same, but the corporate IT guy in me just wants it to end. We had a 6 week lead time with replacement PC orders before the shortages hit. Because of the shortages, HP added another 8-10+ weeks to our schedule. It actually got to the point where we stopped replacing PCs unless they absolutely...

Or the PC was purchased when 32-bit Windows was still and thing and the user never knew the difference. That's going to be a good many consumer PCs and also quite a few enterprise ones as well. I'm still running across 32-bit Win7 in the company that I work for, and it kills me. Some are vital...

Also living in a rural area, I think that the best bet that we'll have for a reasonable wireless solution is something like what AT&T has been testing in rural Georgia. Results sounded quite promising, and they're supposedly close to a commercial launch. That sounds more likely to me since they...

Maybe it's just me, but the discussion link on the main page takes you to the news article instead of this thread.

I'm calling absolute BS on the medium dying. I'm sure that it has taken a hit lately, however since there are still large swaths of the US and many other countries that don't have access to broadband internet I highly doubt that blu-ray is going anywhere in the next 4-5 years at least.

I would assume that as long as power delivery isn't an issue all AM4 should support the higher core count. Considering the power efficiency gains that they achieved with 7nm, that likely isn't a problem for most decent boards.

Well, of course. That's generally why businesses make business decisions. They can make money, cause their competitors to make less money, and help the consumer via lower prices thus garnering good will with the consumer.

You also have to factor in that they'll be buying at a steep discount due to volume. Though, I wouldn't mind a SATA expansion slot to drop a 2.5in drive into as opposed to a USB drive.

Well, it is also priced more like an expansion pack than an independent game, so there is that.

Oh please, they've already figured out that it goes into the RAM slot instead. Duh!

Or if you don't have Steam open on startup, then nothing gets updated. You also have to deal with data caps in certain areas and speed limitations (20Mbps and 40GB/mo before throttling to dialup speed.) Solution would be to just turn off auto update if you don't want to deal with it and just...

To my understanding, the "One Driver" initiative is for Pro Drivers to simplify the drivers for business users. If you've got a mix of consumer level and workstation level GPUs deployed, then you have to differentiate between the Pro level and consumer level (Radeon gaming) drivers. With this...

Well, it has been found by the State of California to cause cancer.

I'm curious to see a comparison with the power draw even between the two. Judging by the performance and power draw delta between the two, the Xeon doesn't look terribly efficient. Also, the motherboard for the Xeon is listed at $1800. I know that Gordon said in the video that he would've...
