    The legendary Zilog Z80 CPU is being discontinued after nearly 50 years

    If I had to guess (and this really is just a guess) I'd suspect it's completely to do with the archaic process it's built on. Remember during covid when nobody could get electronics, car manufacturers got hit hard. Couldn't get engine computers. Once they got going again, companies like TSMC...

    Samsung Readies 290-layer 3D NAND for May 2024 Debut, Planning 430-layer for 2025

    So.....how long before I can replace my 16TB spinner with a 16TB M2 drive for a reasonable price point?

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    Yes some are pebble beds. I think China was the first to build and start up a pebble bed. I admit I don't know much more about it than that. There's a lot of SMR designs out there. Weather or not they see the light of day will be another matter. Several molten salt ones that look promising...

    Windows 10 update KB5034441 is still broken, more than a month after release

    This was a known and common bug on windows 10. Go ahead, look it up. I'll wait here.

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    This is not typical here. We use no such systems and I'm a little confused as to why one would want to ... Virtually everything at our plants here is electromechanical. analog gauges, mechanical hand switches, etc. but the chart recorders are digital these days.... mostly because we couldn't...

    Windows 10 update KB5034441 is still broken, more than a month after release

    No. The auto sync from internet was totally broken. This is one example. Another was that the monitors refused to go to sleep mode. Apparently windows thought someone was using the mouse when they weren't. Found a work around, but shit this is pretty simple stuff. I shouldn't have to. Bottom...

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    Would love to know where you got this from. Reactor control computers are purpose built, think like the guidance computer they used to send astronauts to the moon. They're completely disconnected from any network. Hell, the plant I work at the control computers have a whopping 16mb of RAM. And...

    Windows 10 update KB5034441 is still broken, more than a month after release

    Windows has suffered a lot of bugs in general, but hey at least they're implementing new features that nobody will care about or use! Still remember when I was using win10 the clock being bugged perpetually, no reinstall fixed it. Wouldn't work automatically, had to set it manually. It's a...

    HP wants more of your money

    I like to think so....but yet we've seen things equally as stupid

    HP wants more of your money

    I have always found this move to subscription models to be just offensive. I don't care if they want to offer it as an option, but please give me the choice. I like owning my things in life as much as possible. Sure I get big expenses every now and then, but long run I save a lot and retain...

    HP wants more of your money

    maybe they should make a printer that works first, then talk about these sorts of things.

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    Well look at the security issues we had multiple bios updates to patch. And those patches don't really solve the problem! I did read an article about that...back then Intel was making AMD look like garbage. Someone got the old hardware, installed all the patches and all of a sudden Intel...

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    Yeah this is a wait and see. Way too many variables with no hard evidence as to what the fault is. I'm glad a hardware site is getting into this, but I do wish it was someone other than Tom's assware. If there really is a hardware fault....Intel isn't going to want to talk about it. Imagine...

    Need some simple advice

    Great, that's one down. I remember g sync being very much proprietary, didn't know we had an open source. Thank you.
