The dream:

I wanna see how many FPS 384 threads can crank out in Crysis......please do a follow-up SwiftShader test

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?

Um, who dat?

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?

Linus: Where am I climbing to? Jake: Narnia. Yeah Aslan's roar would give infinite coverage.

Hm.....Firefox might have their own extension library, but I am not aware that there one for restoring some semblance of a YT Dislike counter. If you find out for sure if desktop Chrome Web Store extensions can be installed on an Android or iOS broswer app other than Kiwi please do show me!

It works and I'm satisfied!

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

Thank you

As Linus aluded to in the video, it seems that this checks out among the mining community. As for the 170HX it might still be useful with that 800-850kH/s for lower-cap crypto coins that may blow up in future bull cycles: Also CISBROS Mining in Hong Kong is offering 170HXs for $5000 a piece (definitely check with the supplier Linus' received his card from first): .

For those interested......."Linux for Dummies" distro project is being worked on by Titus Tech Talk.

So.....when does part 2 drop? Are part 3 & 4 already available for Floatplaners?

Anybody else following this "DIY Distro for Dummies" project? Cuz of Titus' project turns out well it might just be the first flavor of Linux I try next year.

Does the whole "hack around the PCIe" to get a video output out of old Tesla K40/K80/M40/M60 as well as P104 and CMP 30-40-50-90HX mining cards still worth it? If so then one can build a pretty decent (relatively in 2021) sub-$1500 gaming/workstation rig. "Like New Refurbished" 14-Core 7940X ($350) Used X299 Mobo ($200) Tesla M40 12GB ~ GTX 1070 8GB ($250-$320) Used 2 x dual OLOY or Gskill Aegis 8GB DDR4-3000 RAM kits ~ 32GB total ($120-$140) 1 x Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD ($110) Seagate EXOS 8TB 7200RPM HDD ($210) Noctua U14S ($80) Fractal Design Ion+ 850W Gold PSU ($120) Used Fractal Design Meshify Case ($70)

Even more details on TechTechPotato Ah The OG Intel phone.

This one? .

I moved to the Baltimore at the beginning of the pandemic to live with my sister and brought my Chromebook with me instead of my Windows laptop and guess what? Zoom only launches properly if I use Firefox. So there you go. Firefox for Zoom, regular Chrome for Youtube, docs, & email, and Incognito Mode for browsing with the peace of mind that history and cookies will be automatically deleted when I close the window.

Doesn't look like anybody else has a thread on this yet so here goes......... https://www.anandtech.com/show/16575/intels-x86-designs-no-longer-limited-to-intel-on-intel-ip-blocks-for-foundry-cores-on-tsmc EDIT ~ even more details from TechTechPotato: It looks like Intel is aiming to offer TSMC/Samsung/GloFlo-style foundry capacity to clients wanting orders of custom x86 and RISC processors by 2023 and maybe even FPGA, MIPS, Power, analog, and other kinds of architectures later on. So........my iPhone, laptop, eGPU, PS5, PC, Tesla, Roomba, and AR glasses might all soon have Intel Inside®?
