The top performer is Asus ROG Ally X.

Not exactly a laptop! 😆

It caught your attention though!

Not to mention there is now an inherent liability involved with using American products and services.

I mostly follow big accounts and don’t that much with folks (outside of a niche hobby account that I am trying to slowly grow).

Best option seems to be to subscribe/browse hashtags that pique your interest. Eventually you’ll find people who regularly post/boost interesting content and users.

I like to distinguish between ideological, Friedmanite capitalism, which I call big C Capitalism and broader concepts such as trade, competition, new commercial ideas, which I call small c capitalism.

Big C Capitalism is more of an oligarch-promoted, authoritarian ideology with clear fascistsa tendencies (see Friedman’s statement that “free markets” take precedent over democratic governance).

Small c capitalism is more a quality of human civilization and its implementation reflects social and cultural developments.

That is why American-run commercial social networks are inherently not viable if you care about user focus. Any rational adult (of any nationality, from US to Botswana) can make their own conclusions regarding US-run commercial social networks over the past ~20 years.

I deleted Twitter a while ago and switched to Mastodon, I did not move to Bluesky when it started getting big exactly because I knew their initial user-focus was a ruse (and their federation architecture seemed top heavy).

No, current suggests they are already working on the next generation of dGPUs (Celestial) and their Battlemage SKUs were largely reviewed positively.

I really wish (hope?) this isn’t the case.

I thought Samsung’s big focus was on their 2nm node as they decided to give up on the 3nm release and treat it as learning experience?

Sam Altman will come after you if you store regular old data on these SSDs.

I want to try the original Deus Ex with the updated textures, models and RTX Remix!

Although it seems that there is no easy way to run RTX Remix on the OG Deus Ex.

Trash level prices even if this is for custom AIB variants. €483 for 5060 12GB? That means the 5060 8GB will be more than €400.

First time I am heading of the the Dough brand and their “community focus”.

I really like their minimalist design although 4K is not for me. I am sticking to 1440 for the next ~5 years, even for my “main” 32 inch monitor.

I am big fan of 16:10 and it is so annoying that there is so little choice for 2560x1600 monitors.

I highly doubt even the non XT version of the 9060 will be $350. We’ll be lucky if it is $400 out of pocket.

Was hoping this was based on AMD, but no, it’s Qualcomm Snapdragon X.

The power requirements seem promising. They key issue will be the price, I am particularly curious about the 16GB 9060 XT variant. If you can get it for under $500 (inclusive of tax etc.), it would be a solid offering.

The researchers hold out the prospect of a disk-based storage system matching or exceeding tape archive density. However, the working life of an atomic force microscope tip is currently measured at 50-200 hours in intermittent touch (tapping) mode versus 5-50 hours in continuous touch mode.

Unless and until a long-lasting C-AFM tip can be created, this would seem to be a fatal flaw in their molecular hard drive concept.

While there are many issues around cost and productization, this seems like an important weakness in the proof of concept.

A key drawback of this proof of concept.

What’s inherently good about “wiping out x86 chips?” Why does this even matter?
