Microsoft is Forcing me to Buy MacBooks - Windows Modern Standby
Results45 replied to AlexTheGreatish's topic in LTT Releases
Same here. I always just hibernate. I can definitely imagine Modern Standby being pretty convenient if all the added benefits can be had without consistently draining the battery, but is it really that much better in its current state than Hibernate and waiting a literal couple extra seconds? -

Word on the street is that the DoD is going to use exascale supercomputers with hardware like this (Probably Intel's Aurora & AMD's Frontier) to simulate nuclear missile failure scenarios in extreme detail to inform the appropriate upgrades and maintenance efforts. I doubt Russia has nothing like this to work on their nukes. China's maybe, but they're probably still playing catch-up. Japan is certainly not going to lend Fugaku to either of them. -
On the next update of the A100 server.........you guys gonna do a re-run of Crysis or Doom with Swiftshader or a heavy load of real-time path tracing at 10, 25, 50, or even 100 samples per pixel?

Hey LMG, you guys gonna gonna try running Swiftshader Crysis again on those dual Zen3 EPYCs and a FULLY pathtraced game on those A100s at 100 samples per pixel?

Are you guys gonna sub-zero chill this and run Crysis again via SwiftShader?

Youtube is censoring the like count Opinion's

Apparently..............it works! I'm satisfied -
Hi All, I'm midway through watching the recording of tonight's WAN Show (perfect while wrapping Christmas presents btw) where Linus & Luke discuss a workaround to the abscence of the YouTube dislike counter by installing YouTube Dislike Counter extension on the desktop version of Chrome. That got me wondering: is there a reputable Chromium-based mobile browser app that has extension comparability built-in? Well turns out, THERE IS*! Here's how: Dowload & install Kiwi Browser from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser One launched tap on the three-dot button on the upper right corner of the URL bar to open the drop-down menu or type in this URL: kiwi://extensions. Tap on "Extensions" (7th option from the top). Toggle on "developer mode" and click on the [+ (from store)] button to add an extension from the Chrome Web Store. Upon reaching the Chrome Web Store install the "YouTube Dislike Counter" extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/return-youtube-dislike/gebbhagfogifgggkldgodflihgfeippi Toggle on "desktop mode" (also in the three-dot drop down menu), go to YouTube.com, and enjoy! P.S. I find it funny that not even the official Chrom Browser app had this feature available by default

Yep the battery startup I'm most hyped about is Prieto Battery. They are based in Fort Collins, CO and have been around since 2009 developing a Li-Po battery where the copper substrate on which the anode and cathode binds to is a "foam" mesh instead of a flat slab. The antimonide anode and lithium cobalt oxide cathode is coated on to the mesh substrate with electrolyte in between using a non-toxic electroplating process involving water and citric acid (lemonade, but it's not?) and the battery is estimated to have 3X the energy density and charge 5X faster compared to current lithium batteries. Another tantalizing selling point is that the way the battery is put together does not allow dendrites to form thus making it infinitely safer for consumer, industrial, medical, and transportation applications. They got some hype in 2015 from Popular Mechanics after Intel make a pretty big initial investment: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/how-to/a11058/how-to-make-battery-power-more-powerful-17085182/ Then again in 2017 in a pretty well-written Denver Post article: https://web.archive.org/web/20170621052357/http://www.denverpost.com/2017/06/18/prieto-battery-smartphones-3d/ And this year as well with more funding from Pilates Capital and Stanley & Decker: https://cleantechnica.com/2021/08/19/stanley-black-decker-bets-on-foam-superbattery-energy-storage-revolution/ Some ultra Hi-Res JPEGs: .

Speaking of USB..........might we see Thunderbolt 5 as soon as this time next year and USB5 by 2025? https://www.anandtech.com/show/16858/intel-executive-posts-thunderbolt-5-photo-80-gbps-and-pam3-then-deletes-it
