    Question e-ink display - will it ever be possible for desktop/laptop pc's?

    e-ink displays have a terrible refresh rate. Your B&W kindle takes about 1/2 a second to update- that's 500ms. A random 13" colour e-ink display i looked up shows 36 seconds refresh rate. yes, over 1/2 a minute. Unless your display is refreshing at something like 40ms or less, it's simply no...

    POLL: x86 vs ARM vs RISC-V; What is your favourite CPU ISA?

    I caught only the smallest drift of any of this... ... but it sounds like you're saying "Risc-V evolved a more elegant design to improve on workarounds used by arm/x86 architectures" Which sounds like exactly the kind of thing x86 haters say they want to trashbin the architecture: get rid of...

    Backing up and Restoring Entire Drive

    Macrium reflect can backup an entire HD in under an hour. If you use USB 3.0 your speed should be limited only by your hard drives. I use 2 external hard drives in rotation to back up my data.

    Dell XPS15 fans driving me nuts!

    Which year/model? I have an xps15 9560. The fans seems to behave reasonably-virtually silent or turned off when idling at desktop. Only speeds up when serious load happening. Definitely a lot quieter than my 2021 Macbook Pro. If you want to get serious with settling the fans, you can use...

    Discussion Intel - the cost of BACKPORTING

    Yes. The graphs says every segment has < 20% market share, but somehow the "overall" is > 20%. So it is inaccurate or misleading somehow.

    Question Google Drive backup problem

    I don't know anything about your specific situation, but attempting to upload 5gb files seems like it's ripe for being interrupted. Unless whatever is uploading files to google has a built in recovery system, I'd be more surprised by success than failure. Just a wild-ass guess, but maybe you...

    Question What's everyone use to archive data these days?

    Oh yes, I forgot: ransomware is another reason I rotate (version) my backup media. Possibly my most recent backup might be compromised by ransomware (e.g. I unknowingly backup encrypted data) but it's significantly less likely I'll go through 2 backup cycles without noticing ransomware.

    Question What's everyone use to archive data these days?

    I use 2 external magnetic hard drives, and rotate which one gets the latest backups. I am consider a 2-drive RAID enclosure. An enclosure would be more convenient to protect against a physical drive failure, but at the moment, I prefer having the option to keep my backups in physically...

    USA does not recognize Taiwan as a country.

    Question No more GPU reviews from Anandtech

    Only if they promise up-front to publish Raytracing-only benchmarks. Gamers are not interested in Raster graphics any more, and any review site which dares discuss them is anti-gamer. Nvidia shall never again indulge those mooches who only ask for review cards because they are trying to scam...

    Question Would you buy a new GTX1050ti or used GTX1060? (pc bios limits to Pascal.)

    Both cards are going to have the same durability. If your child is going to be removing the card and chewing on it or whatever you are worried about, both are equally likely to be broken.

    Zen 2 APUs/"Renoir" discussion thread

    Most restaurants have a gross margin of approximately 200%. Most clothing has a gross margin of 100% - 1000% Most designer goods (e.g. Gucci handbags) probably have a gross margin of 10,000% or higher Yet there's nowhere near the same level of angst against Chipotle, Calvin Klein, or Luis...

    Zen 2 APUs/"Renoir" discussion thread

    Yes I said the same thing, and I also think claiming people were "gouged" is needless hyperbole. It's a perfect example of my point: Intel for decades offered higher performance with falling prices, unlike 99% of the rest of the things we buy, and yet still you're aggravated by it. Everything...

    Zen 2 APUs/"Renoir" discussion thread

    Sure no one "wants" to pay a lot of money for something. But this is the only industry where I consistently see customers act genuinely offended that the pace of performance : price ratio improving is never, ever good enough. There's always lots of complaining about "greed" etc. etc. you'd...
