It costs Dell $2 and yet nobody is upset that Dell doesn't give RAM away for free. Go figure.

What you describe here is exactly why I still haven't gotten around to buying a PC laptop with a strong Nvidia GPU in it. That GPU would be great for my work, but it takes $5k to get the spec that I would use. The $5k pays for a really nice mobile GPU while the rest of the machine remains...

A single driver crash does not mean a system is unstable. It's a game being played on gamer-grade hardware. This practice was stopped a decade ago because of the rampant cheating that it encouraged. Tournament after tournament was being won by teams utilizing various hacks, cheats, and...

Games crash sometimes. News at 11.

This is true when people actually care about quality. I'm not sure that's the case any more. Giving literally zero support has become normalized. 10% DOA rates are also becoming normalized. Expecting a product to actually work when brand new AND for it to be replaced if it doesn't is very...

That's actually the same unit that I had fail on me, the AX1600i. The bootstrap circuit died, so it couldn't power on after it had been turned off. It's actually a pretty decent PSU. It is efficient and it is a full 20mm shorter length than the 1600W EVGA units. The difference means basically...

This is especially true when you consider that 90% of top tier PSUs are little more than whitelabeled selections from one of the two actual PSU manufacturers. It's not like EVGA and Corsair actually do any design work on their PSUs beyond the logo stickers and fancy boxes. This is actually a...

Ah, good to know about GPE. I have seen mixed reports about the registry key. Apparently Copilot will load right up as soon as the user, the OS, or an app loads up Edge even with the registry key set. This is the same thing that happens when you hide the task bar icon. A bunch of different...

That setting only toggles the visibility of the icon. Copilot is always running whether you want it or not. In order to actually disable it, you have to go to Group Policy Editor -> User Config -> Admin templates -> Windows components -> Window Copilot and then make sure Turn Off Windows Copilot...

For most people, an 8x3060 Ti rig that is powered off is more profitable than one which is actually mining. Cool. How many of these CPUs is he buying? Don't forget that he's going to need a PSU, mobo, RAM, and boot drive for each one. With free electricity, his breakeven is still 6mos out...

That's almost certainly what this is. There is an excess supply of these CPUs right now, which is why they're all marked down $100 or more. The next gen is coming soon enough that now is a bad time to be sitting on inventory. Pushing a false narrative about crypto would be one great way to try...

Have you tried stopping in at a Seven Eleven lately and paying with krone?

It's sad to see so much coverage of such an obvious trolling of our hilariously weak tech news industry. 1) This isn't a problem. 2) There is no reason for AMD to solve something that isn't a problem. 3) The $3/day of profit is a total lie to begin with. It's more like $2.50 in total revenue...

Maybe longer than that. If Jensen decided right now to completely stop selling hardware and he kept that going for two years straight, Nvidia would still have over 60% market share in AI. That is how far ahead Nvidia is in AI.

I don't remember who got the Eisbaer, but if you still have it, let me know. I just found the box for it with an AMD bracket inside and will send your way if you want it.

While I agree, there is still the issue of availability. When Nvidia can't supply what customers need, the customers will look to get it from somewhere else. When the options are to build for a minority player or wait 18mos for hardware from the majority player, the choice is usually pretty...

Exactly this. They're in a position where the only real chance of them not growing explosively would be some insane supply chain disaster or a non-GPU-based or non-GPU-bound AI discovery that benefitted from being on something like an x86 extension or something similarly Intel-heavy. Other than...

Interesting that four of the five have a fundamental dependence on the others for their businesses to continue to operate. Anyway, I think there is some irrational optimism that is contributing to this, but Nvidia is also in the extremely rare and enviable position of having 95% marketshare of...

Wait a sec - are you my CEO?

The first layouts I mocked up in CAD were actually different front-to-back layouts, both flat and different angles. It was less space efficient than I was expecting, largely because the airflow gets choked at extreme angles (like horizontal) unless I add extra space to accommodate for that. I...

That's entirely possible. The 220 day target gives a low estimate of their pay. If they're working 5 days/wk, taking 10 holidays, 2 sick days, and 10 vacation days, then they're working 239 days/yr and getting $83,650. That's even better pay. You really think they're doing 6 days/wk with 13...

This may come as a shock, but factory work isn't something that is done remotely. $77k is above the median HH income in Phoenix (where the factory is), and it is significantly above median in many of the commutable areas around the factory.

$77k/yr assuming only 220 paid work days. Even in the US, that's pretty good for assembly work.

It's weird that there are literally millions of people all over the globe running the same hardware for the same use without any problems, and yet somehow this one person is able to buy 4 "defective" chips in a row from multiple generations of chips with individual purchases that were spaced...

Made a few quick updates: Added 1U of height. It didn't technically need this, but the extra space will make filling in the rest of the details much easier. And since it was already 9U, what's the harm in growing to 10? Added beefy ribs at the top and bottom. The first gen that I posted above...

The current lead times on these systems extend beyond the horizon of his prediction. When have prices gone down during times that demand so significantly exceeds supply?

If you're comfortable with the CAD, 3D printing is an awesome solution for ducting in builds. A drawback to such well controlled flow though is the increased risk of critical yet not major components accidentally getting cut out of the flow path. For example, with an external cooler handling the...

Slowly making progress in between distractions. Did a quick test fit last night. Based on what I learned, I will be adding a couple of ribs, a couple of alignment features for the top and bottom halves of the face plate, and possibly making new ducts that are mechanically linked to each other...

Misplaced the NVlink bridge, but *bump*ing because the Threadripper blocks are still available. These things are seriously nice and I believe they are also compatible with the new gen Threadripper.

Maybe $4-500 all-in?

Looking for the items in the subject line with the following additional info: CPU Integrated video preferred Needs to support 128GB RAM (it's possible every i5 is like this but I'm not sure) Don't need a cooler Motherboard No Gigabyte boards Flexible on form factor as long as it has 4 DIMM...

As usual, you're drunk on haterade. This exploit allows you to LOCK and device, NOT unlock it. The producer of the video says in the comments that no phones at all are actually affected. In fact, literally zero cellular devices are actually affected This requires physical access to the device...

Funny that so few companies are part of this. Totally lying about refresh rates is standard practice across the industry. I've posted pics on [H] in the past of my old "120hz" 43" Asus screen that was actually 24hz. I'd love to see the companies really get railed for this by the federal govt...

Does the attack in the OP require the victim to open the PDF? Or simply receive it?

Sometimes I get too bored for my own good and then stuff like this happens. :LOL: Updated the post to add a pic of the duct mounted up. Just waiting on a few parts to arrive and then I'll finish the update and start generating data.

Printer is still having trouble, but I have a heavy-handed workaround which has it printing again. The workaround, however, adds about 50% to the already long print times. Anyway, I decided that the easiest way to make the first version of this cooler happen is to just stack two of the original...

Good news: The 1000D shroud is fully printed and assembled! Mixed news: The Corsair machine has suddenly gotten really busy, so unfortunately, I haven't taken it offline in order to do the front panel swap yet. I will hopefully get to do that soon Bad news: The printer (Bambu X1C) is an unknown...

They switched away because the soft batteries are thinner and the market wanted a thinner phone.

Getting closer. Just two parts left and then it can be mounted on the 1000D. I can't help but LOL at the size of this thing.

Ran into some printer trouble. It isn't really resolved, but I think I have a workaround that should at least get me some rough parts to finish off Phase 1. Here's a progress pic with a few of the bad/broken parts. The size of this thing really registers in person. Also got started on Phase...
