Even more firsts (prior firsts) when you leave the name, Nvidia, out. But, this is [H], so I'm not sure if we're allowed to talk about that.

100 years from now: Remembering the first PC gaming GPU, the RTX 4090.

But they are MSI (something you always have to keep in mind) "Space applied back, resulting in mixed usage thermals, for best game." (MSI didn't write that last bit, but sounds like something they'd have on their packaging)

Blinky lights have been known to cause seizures in other chips.

VIPs: Intel, you may have a problem? Intel: Huh? What? VIPs: There might be problem that causes your 13th and 14th gen CPUs to fail. Could be in the architecture itself. Intel: What do you suggest we do? VIPs: Maybe contact your legal team. You could be liable. Intel: No. We have...

Behold... the anti-solution. Pull the wires out even more, undo any cable management. use lots of colors for cables (take off any sleeves), set a new design trend. "We bought this pre-built, and see the amateurs tried to color coordinate, bind and hide all the cables. Sort of old school."

For those that have upgraded, just turn on your fog effect to help mitigate this. This is only a problem for old-timers using RGB alone.

An RX 580 8GB in good shape is a good deal at $45. Sadly, IMHO, prices in the used market are pretty stagnant on the cheaper side. In fact, IMHO, it's gone up in many cases.

OLED is "ok". At lower resolutions, there are issues. But, most things being 4K, I guess the whole "pixel arrangement" issue isn't a huge deal. Of course, there aren't any "tiny" OLED monitors currently (and that might be related). In short, it depends. I'm happy with my IPS, and can't...

Finally, an NVMe for your ultra wide screen portable or phone. Warning: only rated for 66°N or better or 66.17°S or better if used with a portable device.

Yeah, maybe not quite so impossible, but definitely got the "idea". Edit: I was thinking something "light" (laser?) based, but with persist/change capabilities. Has to be "fast", yet... cool and durable.

I tell you, last year was "amazing" with regards to SSD pricing (talking 2022 thru 2023), but those deals IMHO are now gone. Not saying there aren't deals, but only comparing against what is typical for 2024. Would love to see another era of SSD glut to cause those massive deals in the prior...

The "reason" you use things like FAT/vFAT/ExFAT is for compatibility. You're not going to just plugin a ZFS "whatever" into "something" and have it automatically understood. Even in the case of typical computer OS's, ZFS isn't necessarily understood by a default install. So, "having" access...

ffmpeg You can google for options for extracting just the audio and saving... etc...

So full details are still in progress. But a successful backdoor has been inserted into the code base of xz and it's library as used by many program, including, for example, openssh The impact, while not completely described likely will result in an in memory all access key allowing remote...
