The point of news is finding out stuff that you might not know. Don't be insufferable just because you don't care about the topic.

Summary

My thoughts
It's only been 2 weeks and it's back. Too late though since miners could just not update and stick to previous driver. I don't expect to see another unlock coming any time soon as long as it ain't broke, also since we're nearing the merge (hopefully August of this year, and not delayed again). By then miners will move on to the next profitable coin to mine and LHR will just be a relic of 2021.

How are your thoughts related at all to the articles at hand? 
Changing a brand name doesn't kill older headsets just because they have a different logo.
The Dev 1 and Dev 2 would have lost official support even if Facebook had never bought the company, as they are ancient and outdated.
I would say you are grasping straws with the EU thing, as Dev1 and Dev2 were NEVER consumer products.
You can still get all the drivers for consumer products, such as the very first Oculus Rift, Rift S etc.
Meta did absolutely nothing wrong here, there won't be backlash from the EU, won't be community backlash, get over it.

My thoughts, that are related to the articles are MEH, Facebook bought Oculus, they can rename the devices to whatever they want, doesn't change the engineers behind the products, or anything of value.

This video might help:
 

Microsoft has telemetry data for how many people use certain features, they are prioritizing based off of that. I am annoyed that it can't be moved. I prefer to have my taskbar on my left monitor only (bottom) while having my middle monitor be the default display where fullscreen apps open by default.

On a side note: Nvidia already sells products with their own ARM CPU core designs.
 
They started with a variant of the Tegra K1 (Denver Dual core) in 2014. For the Tegra X1 (As present in the Nintendo Switch) they opted for ARM original cores (A53 and A57) but for the Tegra X2 (or TX2) they use a combination of ARM originals alongside of two Denver2-cores.
For their current Lineup of Automotive and Embedded Systems (Xavier Lineup), they use their own cores again, named Carmel.
 
The upcoming Orin lineup (succeeding the Xavier lineup) will use again ARM original cores (12x Cortex-A78AE), but for the following Atlas lineup, they announced that "Grace-next" CPUs will be used.
 
We use these chips for developing Embedded-AI and High Performance Embedded Tasks (e.g. image processing on the edge) in the form of their Jetson-Modules.

What you need: 
Heaven benchmark 
Some other benchmark like Superposition 
MSI Afterburner 
Know what your card usually boosts to under load and at what voltage (you can check this with Afterburner and Heaven benchmark  ideally running in a small 720p window so you can still check Afterburner while the benchmark is running)
 
Let's go:
 
1. Open Afterburner. 

Press Ctrl + F that opens the voltage curve editor... great!
 
2. Find a voltage point you think is good, this should be lower than what your GPU uses normally, so in my case the RTX 3070 uses around 1.081v and i already know around 1.0v is fine for my card so i choose 993mv:

you may have to experiment with that a little later,  it's what we're trying to find out after all, at what lowest possible voltage your card is still stable, but most cards should fall into this ballpark. 
 
3. Drag the point you selected to the frequency you want, this should typically be to what your card usually boosts (in my case around 2010mhz) just now with less voltage. Same as above,  some minor adjustments may be necessary later in case it isnt stable, but in most cases it should be fine since its what the card boosts to anyway. 

With the point still selected after dragging it, press L on your keyboard.  Hit apply ✅ in Afterburner.
 
4. Select the point you just adjusted again, notice how the curve is now flattened after it? Thats because we locked the voltage in the previous step, so now press L again,  it will unlock it again, which is what we want and hit apply ✅ again.

Save your new undervolt profile.
 
 
You're done... off to do some tests for stabiliy with Heaven and if you think it's fine and there are no crashes then test with Superposition also.
 
If it's crashing or not stable,  you probably have to add a little bit more voltage or lower the frequency and do the curve again, but dont go over the voltage your card typically uses, as mentioned in my case 1.081v but that may differ from your card, and also we're here to undervolt.
 
This is by far the fastest method i know of and it works really well in my experience,  how well depends mostly on silicone lottery I guess.
 
Any questions, just ask and have fun with undervolting and a cooler more efficient GPU. 🙂
 

What makes the current start menu unuseable?
Better question: Why do you use a start menu?
 
The only time i see the start menu is the split second after pressing the windows key and before i start to type and search the app i need.
I'm at a point where i'd say i can do without the start menu. They could probably remove it and i wouldn't even notice.

Perhaps a retail store should be purchasing their stock from legitimate sources? 

One post and talking about a platform in the first person.... smells like an advert to me.

Incorrect. That information might allow foreign enemies to design weapons designed to target that specific area using the exact measurements to create maximum impact. It might allow them to extrapolate other information such as armour thickness, identify potential weakspots in the design etc etc.
 
Turns out engineers are very clever people who can work out a lot of big detail from just a small piece of information.
I'm sorry but what? He signed the official secrets act then broke his contract. The context is irrelevant, doesn't matter if he told his wife, told a game developer or sold it to the russians, the crime was breaking his agreement to keep it a secret and he will find his ass in military prison very shortly.
 
You think the UK Army and Govt. are gonna fuck around when it comes to leaking classified documents? They ARE going to prison.

It's a big complicated but there are some things that are important to know and understand.
1) There are multiple foundries that make chips. The big, leading edge ones are TSMC, Intel and Samsung.
2) Intel has historically made their own chips at their own foundries. AMD and Apple uses TSMC for their current chips. Nvidia uses Samsung for their current 30 series. These things quite often change though. For example AMD does not have to use TSMC if they don't want to. Right now they do want to however because TSMC have the best manufacturing process.
3) The nanometer numbers you see get thrown around can not be compared between foundries. TSMC 5nm is not the same as Intel 5nm, nor is TSMC 8nm the same as Samsung's 8nm.
4) There is more to processor design than just the manufacturing process (3nm, 10nm, etc).
5) Even within the same foundry and same "nm size", there can be differences. You've probably heard of Intel putting a bunch of pluses behind their nodes (like 14nm++), a lot of foundries does that (although it's memed far more with Intel because they have had to do it more than others). For example TSMC has N7FF and N7FF+. The latter allows for almost 20% more transistors in the same area.
 
A far more important metric than nanometer is transistor density. That is to say, how many transistors are you able to pack into a given area (usually measured in millions of transistors per square mm). This is a far easier and better metric to use when trying to compare process nodes from different foundries.
 
Here are the transistor density (millions of transistors per square mm) for some different manufacturing nodes. Higher is better although please note that even using the same manufacturing process, transistor density numbers can vary. Theses are just estimates and guidelines:
 
Intel 14nm++ - 37.2 Intel 14nm - 37.5 TSMC 10nm - 52.51 Samsung 8nm - 61.2 Samsung 7nm (second gen) - 95.3 TSMC 7nm - 96.5 Intel 10nm - 100.8 Samsung 7nm (third gen) - 112.5 TSMC 7nm+ - 113.9 TSMC 6nm - 114.2 Samsung 5nm - 127 TSMC 5nm - 173 Intel 7nm - 202-250 TSMC 3nm - 291  
Intel is currently competitive with AMD because their chips are larger and uses more power than AMD's. With a more advanced process node, Intel will be able to reduce power consumption as well as increase performance.
Intel on 3nm would be far ahead of AMD's current processors that are using 7nm. But it's not like Intel will release 3nm processors tomorrow, and AMD will not sit idle either.
What might happen is that if Intel uses TSMC 3nm for their processors (which has not been confirmed, it can be for other things) then Intel might be ahead of AMD for a while, until AMD also gets on a comparable process node (maybe also 3nm TSMC?), and then it will be down to who got the best microarchitecture.

Look at it this way, if it doesn’t work out after your attempt to fix it you just cut the end off then can let someone more confident in soldering a usb connector do it. Always worth a go. And you’ll lose a couple of cm of cable at most.
 
it’s a good skill to get a grasp of and may as well start somewhere 🙂

Exactly this. It's a cleaner UI, in my opinion. I generally hate UI changes, but this one isn't that bad. I immediately go to my apps so the ad is in my vision for a brief second or two on the home page... and it's the only place they show up. Often times the ad is for a new Netflix show or similar that I am actually interested in.

It'll be very interesting to see that. I'm on Insider dev channel and there hasn't been anything wildly different for a while.

No security patches or DX12? Wow ur so cool 😮

Windows 10.5 HD Final Mix Chain of Memories Birth By Sleep Dream Drop Distance

I can’t say for the one you posted but I use a similar thing for an extension lead and ethernet switch behind my tv cabinet.

The same people, six months ago, couldn't predict the shortage of today, so read with a grain of salt.
As a Danish saying: predictions aren't trustworthy, especially for the future

OKI printers are getting hit by this. I told everyone over teams how to uninstall and it’s been fine since, looks like the patch (optional.. why?!) is out now though so an annoyance overall but nothing too bad. 

It’s not really worth the upgrade personally.
 
what graphics card do you have? You might not even need the 1000w PSU

Nintendo when they charge $60 for a 2011 game ported to another platform: 😍 🥰
Anyone else when they charge $50 for a full remake: 😡 😠

The dress code was explained well during the Roast:
1. Wear actual pants

I don't like to be negative or give people a hard time, so take this as constructive criticism.
 
LTT is a $25 million business with over 3 million viewers globally. Moppy hair, tracky dacks and a T-shirt, walking around like you just got out of bed doesn't cut it. Colton, James and Riley are always well dressed and groomed. Honestly, how hard is it to wear a pair of chinos and a polo or colored shirt. A haircut wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Keep in mind, a lot of prospective future employers are watching.
 
Just my 2 bob.
