    Athlon 64 FX-57 is expensive, rare, fast but is it worth it?

    I jumped straight from my Athlon64 3200+ to a Core 2 Quad Q6600. What a massive performance improvement that was. The 3200+ lived in a cardboard motherboard box running Plex for a while before I finally tossed it.

    WTB: Synology DS220+

    Yes, but for $300 I'd just get a new 220+. I don't need the extra features or space taken up by that one! DM incoming

    WTB: Synology DS220+

    Only need one bay, but this seems to be the cheapest entry into object recognition. I'm in Orange County, California for any locals

    Has the Steam Deck stayed part of your gaming life?

    Still use it frequently (though I don't game daily). The only spare time I really have to dedicate to gaming these days is when I'm traveling for work - this is perfect for playing on the plane, waiting in the airport, hotel room after work, etc. I actually sold my ASUS G14 because it was easier...

    What the heck is going on with my CPU? Low clock, low power draw at max util

    Well, bummer. Learned something today. Hopefully Dell will sell a Ryzen version of this thing soon Back to work!

    What the heck is going on with my CPU? Low clock, low power draw at max util

    While transcoding... PL1 Power Limit is 12 watts... maybe that's our limit here? Seems unnecessarily low

    What the heck is going on with my CPU? Low clock, low power draw at max util

    Dell Power Manager is set to Ultra Performance Not really the point - I'm also compiling applications on occasion which runs slowly and at similarly low temp/power usage/frequency. I'll see what HWINFO says.

    What the heck is going on with my CPU? Low clock, low power draw at max util

    I've got a Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1 with the I7-10810U. Recently I tried transcoding some videos off my phone from H265/HEVC to H264 so I could stitch them together (laugh now at trying to do this on a 15W processor). Curiously, when using 100% of the CPU for an extended time, the clock...

    building a page for lazy people (me and my friends)

    Is there a reason you don't just use one of the many available CMS options out there? Set up a free wordpress site with a form plugin and you will be both secure and lazy.

    PHP - SQL while in a foreach statment

    I second modi123 and grasshopper... join it in SQL (cleaner than running multiple queries) and join on a unique user id, if you're going to have a user identifier in your sep table anyway.

    Pixel 4a thoughts?

    Anyone have some real world battery results on this thing? I have a oneplus 6t, and I'm sick of all the software glitches that came with the Android 10 update (android auto only works 50% of the time, bluetooth to my truck no longer works, random low FPS on-screen until lock/unlock cycle...

    Photographer girlfriend wants to ditch the MacBook Pro

    Well, we ended up finding a "scratch and dent" XPS 15 9500 on the outlet for $1450. Has the i7-10750, 512gb ssd, 16gb ram and 1080p display. I'll be damned if I can find a scratch or dent on this thing, so I'd say we did pretty well.
