    Cooling an AMD Instinct MI210 for local inference

    llama-cpp solves this, I already said it two posts above. ollama creeps into online/cloud model, because that's their end game, they want money. llama-cpp on the other hand, is 100% offline, and it works with any GGUF model, no vendor/platform locking. I use llama-cpp and I've integrated it into...

    ASUS’ ROG Strix PSU Returning From RMA Was Discovered To Have Bypassed Internal Safety Fuse Instead Of Replacing Faulty Components

    Thanks for admitting your selfishness. Next time a serial killer is in your area, don't forget to invite him in and make a cup of tea. He did nothing wrong to you, therefore he cannot do you any harm?! It's obvious. (For mentality of five year old, that is).

    ASUS’ ROG Strix PSU Returning From RMA Was Discovered To Have Bypassed Internal Safety Fuse Instead Of Replacing Faulty Components

    As DukenukemX said, it's enough just to boycott one. The rest will see that screwing their customers to that degree isn't profitable, and they will back off. ASUS is a great candidate here. I am certainly done with buying their products, for good.

    Intel will supply Raptor Lake for years

    "due to memory shortage" right. I think they do it to please customers, which are leaving Intel platform in droves. Corporate and retail alike, all customers have been enduring very short socket life for years. And after recent Raptor Lake fiasco, people said enough is enough. Intel marketshare...

    ASUS’ ROG Strix PSU Returning From RMA Was Discovered To Have Bypassed Internal Safety Fuse Instead Of Replacing Faulty Components

    How can you not understand typical, greedy corporation behaviour? ASUS is not exception. You just didn't had a RMA to learn it first hand.

    ASUS’ ROG Strix PSU Returning From RMA Was Discovered To Have Bypassed Internal Safety Fuse Instead Of Replacing Faulty Components

    Haha, what else to expect from Asus? Not susprised. Worst possible tactic here, for sure. I had RMA for motherboard once, they ghosted me, I was not able to return it. Will never buy ASUS again.

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    A ton of stuff? like what? Xlibre does not break anything. It just fixes certain stuff which was never fixed in Xorg. I am using it on two machines, have not experienced any problems. I do 3D gaming, no problems with that either. Main computer from the sig is on 24/7 on xlibre. Oh okay...and...

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    Devuan almost fit this requirement. It's based on Debian Stable, so you can use it indefinitely without reinstalling, just upgrade. No systemd bloat. Xlibre is not built in, but you can install it in few minutes via external apt repository. That's how I use it, it's been rock solid. $ sudo...

    10TB ironwolf seems dead ?

    For me Spinrite always have the last word on drive being dead or not. If Spinrite cannot detect/benchmark or start working on the drive, that's it. If initial work is complete, I let it run full R/W/Verify pass overnight.

    Micron exiting consumer memory business.

    I've upgraded my main PC from 5800X to 5950X. Very happy with it. Most powerful CPU for AM4, in multithreaded tasks (not gaming). I am going to keep it for a long time. No reason to upgrade to AM5 for me right now, my PC works great and perform all tasks I need from it. If you need to upgrade to...

    Poor? Your 5950X is inadequate for what, exactly?

    Disabling Intel ME

    Not personal experience, but you can buy laptops with custom BIOS, or open source BIOS like Coreboot, and IME fully disabled. There are laptop vendors out there specialized in doing this. Have not seen much of that going on desktops, though.

    LinkedIn and Microsoft are illegally searching your computer.

    You can also run full Windows desktop in a VM, while operating from Linux host. Nice option to go all work. Just an option, if you find hardware you are happy with 🙂
