the problem likely is that it's 30 hidden menus for 20 different phone and android version combinations. A cheap universal option is likely faster than looking each one up separately.

My use patterns are pretty close to worst case for OLED, probably >80% windows desktop with always on taskbar and title bars, so I've ruled OLED out completely. To the extend that it can be captured in SDR video, haloing looks rather distracting. Unless the 10k (~28x28 pixel) dimming zone or...

I have a similarly expensive case labs. This is very much not my thing; but if it is yours and you can afford it why not.

Is their admitting to a hardware defect in addition to the microcode bugs new, or did I just miss that update?

A standard pinout for the PSU-mobo connector and mobo to sata cables were the main things standardized vs the proprietary solutions the various OEMs had developed on their own. Standby power being 12V instead of 5V might also have been part of it, just because it's thematic the "12 volt only"...

Your system predates it. The standard was published in 2019.

That's the one PC part I'm least likely to hoard for many reasons. 1) They take up a lot of space. 2) You can put a retro system in a new case without trouble (unless you go all the way back to AT). But the reverse isn't really true. Older cases with 80mm fans won't have the cooling for...

Unless your system is old enough to pre-date the standard that's called ATX 12VO (12 Volt Only). Maybe a half dozen years ago the big OEMs started doing it as proprietary designs because it was cheaper to hit power efficiency standards by eliminating the higher resistive losses from sending...

1988ish 13" CRT TV on parents Tandy Color Computer. 1993 14" 800x600 CRT on parents 486, later the computer I took to the dorm on a more capable computer I was able to run it at 1024x768. 2000 17" 1600x1200 CRT, cheapest option on price watch, bought after my first year of college. sometime...

I had an ek block on my gtx 1080. IIRC They were the first (only?) to offer a block for my card, with no one else saying they were working on one. The block was fine for the few years I used it. When I got a 3070 and tried to convert it back to air cooled about half the mounting screws...

Either nothing I've owned in the last decade has had coil whine, my cases have successfully contained the noise, or my 43 year old ears can't hear it. The last time I played with a frequency test site (a few years ago) I could still barely hear the 20khz tone, but had to turn my speaker volume...

My guess is probably never, it's not a big enough of a size gap to be worth it unless it ends up happening as part of a larger reshuffling of common sizes. Looking at other common desktop LCD sizes and ignoring changes in aspect ratio over the years gives 19-40% increases in area from one...

While I also wish Emil had been able to meet the original, overly optimistic, timeline too; doing it as a side project is probably a good thing even if it's made the delays a lot worse. The financial pressure of needing to get a product on the market and generating an income high enough to live...

It's only been 3 years not 4 so far. The biggest factor in it taking as long as it has is that Emil has kept their day job, and is doing the revival work as a side project.

I think it's a bad idea in general; but flight sims (and other open world titles) might be one of the rare cases where it actually is reasonable. They need to have global maps; but I suspect most players won't be trying to fly into every airport in the game so lots of the map data will never be...

Slightly more detail on timelines: Emil — Yesterday at 11:12 PM Don't expect anything. But things are looking better and better. I don't want to set a date that I cant fulfill, but it is looking more and more like it would be possible to start selling parts in late 2024 and then cases first or...

It's long enough to hold 560mm rads. Minimalism in everything but actual dimensions. I have an SMA8 which is about the same except it lacks the upper chamber.

Today's production update from Discord: Emil — Today at 12:15 AM Hopefully by the end of 2024. Depends on how fast our contractors can convert the blueprints.

I don't own an affected system, but if I did it's probably need to be close to free and compatible with my existing mobo (or include a credit to buy an equivalent level new one). As it is, I've tentatively written off the Intel 15th gen from consideration entirely; it'd need to be a flawless...

I'm skeptical delaying a painful fix until the next generation is out would actually help much. People who'd be likely to jump to AMD over it are probably also going to be the "lets wait a year and see if it's actually fixed type". Those who keep buying Intel will be fanbois and those who're...

Warframes data (also linked upthread) shows about 75 of their crashes from the 4 most common i9-13900/1490 parts going to 80.2% counting a few less common ones scattered in the last quarter, the remainder of the pie chart is filled with i7s (16.2%) until you get to a few slivers that aren't...

Is it costs going up, or is the amount of money that advertisers are willing to pay per display ad still in freefall? The clickthrough and clickthrough and spend rates for those sort of ads have to still be in freefall - since even if we assume people are still equally likely to see something...

and not just in the ways a normal person could have anticipated. Years ago I remember some lunatic writing a tool to use your gmail account as a cloud file system. Google drive eventually made that level of crazy obsolete.

I vaguely recall reading that you'd need a few thousand hertz to accurately simulate CRT scanning behavior. Deep in the world of diminishing returns for sure though.

Assuming the article is correct: ...with DSC you'd need ~115Gbps, or 2 cables without chroma subsampling.

meh. SMR means that unless someone here's running a data centers SAN they're useless to everyone reading about it here.

What's driving the practical limit in FALD array size? That looks like they could pack 4x as many in just by using the space between the wells each is sitting in, and maybe 2-3x more if the wells could be shrunk in size.

At first I thought it might have been a standard m.2 card, but after counting pins on the connector it doesn't appear to have enough of them; which means it's apparently something proprietary. In that case you'd need to find someone making an adapter just for it. IF you can find such a device...

I've never found those sort of adapters easy to use. I'd rather just get a set of small nut drivers. I'm not sure if the standoffs are metric or inch sizes, but suspect for screwing into sheet metal the 'wrong' next size up driver will work well enough. Cheap examples I found on amazon, but I...

Remember that HDDs have magnets inside that are much stronger than anything you might use to attack something to a steel case. It's fine.

What are the little display bars on top of your screens?

I wasn't really hopeful they would; but I keep seeing people claiming that burn in isn't a thing anymore and was curious if anything had actually changed or if there was still an unwritten "as long as you never show any static content on it" attached to the claims.

Please post back here whenever their burnin test has results. I'd be cautious about making the jump to OLED after only a single year of data since my main display would primarily be used for desktop too. My NEC 3090 was my primary display for over 7.5 years, my Acer Predator XB321HK is 6.5...

Only if you bought from a third party. If you bought it from them directly don't expect to actually get a refund. They're bankrupt in all but name.

When you're circling the bankruptcy drain - as implied by not paying anyone - it's a bit late to worry about anything like that. Not paying employees is the sort of thing that triggers swift govt action, if they're at that point I expect the news that they're being forcibly shut down to appear...

https://www.techspot.com/news/102684-zilog-discontinuing-z80-microprocessor-after-almost-50-years.html I wonder if it's due to demand falling below a threshold needed to sustain it, or the wafer maker retiring the ultra-legacy process it's being manufactured on.

While 1.8" HDDs had a decent run for a few years in early ipods, I don't think the 1" HHD form factor ever went beyond the prototype stage. The amount of NAND you could stuff into a CF form factor made it DOA and not having any significant influence beyond possibly constraining the size of the...

My first were 128 and 240 both for $200-250ish, after that I splurged $500+ on a 1TB one I'm still using. Whenever I get around to replacing this system (honestly past due at this point) it'll probably be a 4TB pcie5 drive. Probably overkill the way the 1TB one has been for most of it's life...

MSN Xbox Live Surface And probably time for at least one more half-baked branding to be born and die before it actually comes out.

Is that a horizontal Slocket? Everything old really is new again. 🤣
