    Exascend Launches Rugged AS500 BGA SSD

    Why PCIe/NVMe when UFS is very common in embedded computers? Version 4.0 defines transfer speeds up to 5800 MB/s, so it should be sufficient in this case.

    TSMC Unveils Next-Generation HBM4 Base Dies, Built on 12 nm and 5 nm Nodes

    It's not at all clear what logic the HBM4 base (logic) die contains. The memory controller is located on the GPU or whatever the main processor is, so what remains are some signal buffers, testing logic and maybe power management. Nothing that would require 12nm. This, basically: Or is this...

    EULA in Games

    After reading the comments, I think your question should have been more concise. "Reading" in many cases consists of searching for sentences that contain specific keywords. "Telemetry", "privacy" etc. Nobody reads the entire EULA, and very few read large sections of it.

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    That holds true even without the IoT part. That would describe the Vista/XP/2000/98 file search box, screwed up ever after.

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Microsoft could just abandon Win 10 after 10 years and never make another OS again - and there would be less outrage among DIY enthusiasts than there is now. And MS could totally survive that. SQL Server and Exchange for Linux, Office 365 and other services for home and business users - that's...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Windows 7, then 7 years old, could not be installed on my Skylake system in 2016. Mobo and notebook manufacturers were helpful and provided USB 3.0 drivers and instructions for several sorts of workarounds, no complaints here. But out of the box, with USB install media and an USB keyboard, it...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Ah I see the problem now, I just never tried that. So it's the same behaviour as in Win 7, and same as in Win 10 since 2017. You can save the first click by pointing the cursor at the icon and waiting 0.3 seconds for window previews. But given the reliability of the UI, you may need to wait 10...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    If Win 10 on Ryzen 9000 works at all, I'm sure those (and new ones of the same colour) will be fully supported...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Every Excel sheet has its own icon and its associated title. (What good are icons without titles?) But they are grouped and glued together, and you can't reorder them within the group. It's no different if you open multiple instances of the same program (Excel, Firefox, file explorer) - all...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    Yes, and also the purpose of using LTSC goes very much against the purpose of upgrading hardware.

    EULA in Games

    We're lucky to live in the era of AI. It will soon be able to crunch a eula, then make 300-word, 30-word and 3-word summaries of everything that matters to the average user. Right?

    Intel Announces Thunderbolt Share, a PC-to-PC High-bandwidth Networking Technology

    No matter what sort of better wires they invent, never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with backup tapes. LapLink remembers. --> https://web.laplink.com/cables/

    Intel Announces Thunderbolt Share, a PC-to-PC High-bandwidth Networking Technology

    If you can wait a little bit more, CXL 3.1 is planned to support memory sharing with coherency, so you won't even have to drag and drop anything. (You'll need a Granite Rapids desktop/notebook though.)
