The O2 sensor does not only take automatic readings while sleeping. It is effectively sampling at random, even when sleeping. If you are a restless sleeper, you can wind up with sampling rates similar to what you get during the day. If you only wear your watch at night, of course it is going to...

Net Neutrality didn't solve any problems other than some limited arguing over skype and BitTorrent that was going to implode anyway because of competition. The end of Net Neutrality didn't bring about anything anyone seems to have noticed. Going through a dozen hand wringing articles from...

From community testing during the early kickstarter deliveries anything past 128gig for the SD card was a no go, and 128gig was a crap shoot depending on the card. I just use 64 gig cards without issue.

So I think the 4080 super cards are introducing the next attempted solution to this issue, which is recessed power connectors with notches taken out of the heatsinks (and also backplates depending on the card/vendor). All the gigabye 4080 supers do this in one way or another. IT eliminates the...

You should be able to do it if you have a piece of blank media. I've used macrium and easeus to do it, but I was always moving from an installed NVME to a bigger (or faster), new, blank NVME.

You aren't going to get the exact same dimensions with the macbook because most aren't going with the same screen aspect ratio as apple. the 15" XPS lineup differs from the 14" macbook by 0.1", 0.2" and 1.2" and that sounds pretty comparable to me given you can find those kinds of discrepancies...

This does not surprise me. What does surprise me is that the previous change to the TOS didn't drive more people away. Specifically to unreal engine. The terms aren't awful, but probably more importantly long term, they eat their own dog food AND they have revenue streams other than just the...

You are thinking like stock price is really a matter of business fundamentals. These days it's mostly about predicting where the money will flock to and flee from, and that seldom has much to do with solid business fundamentals. Infinite price run up requires infinite suckers, finite suckers...

Currently it's pretty feature complete if annoying to switch into and out of. But you can print and monitor from bambu studio on a lan. Yeah, it was a pretty bad failure. If I were them, I'd figure out how to just use the cloud to make lan mode transparent and to expose data for the handy app.

I think it really depends on what you are looking at. Unlike the last couple years where it was basically all trash items, there is some good stuff at good prices this year. The claimed discount is usually BS, but some of it is still a good discount even when you ignore the puffery.

They released the lan only mode capable firmware for the p1p in march IIRC. P1P version01.02.01.00 firmware.

I've had stuff living in machine rooms go 18 years. Heck one went almost seven years without a reboot.

It's really likely that the primary motivator is to be done with intel. Which is enough reason given it is apple. The problem with that take is that it doesn't look like it is a professional device either. And even if the hardware is good, how broad can the audience be that will roll their...

DLSS4 Uses AI to take the current frame, predict a better game, and replace the frame with the equivalent frame of that better game.

I inevitably bail out at some point as the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

It's probably not going ot happen given how rapidly the cheating killed the multiplayer population. The single player campaign is excellent though and I'd definitely dig another one of those too.

These types of HMDs have been around since the 90s. (i.e. sony glasstron 1996) They are just less garbage now.

Except it's a crap shoot. I typically drop decent cash on a higher end laptop and expect it to last about 5 years as a portable supplement to my desktop. I have yet to have a a windows laptop fail on me for that. I bought the first gen 15" retina display macbook pro because it had a good screen...

So what's "special" about macbooks. First I'll give the genuine praise. Their track pad is the best. Period. The implementation physically as well as the integration into the OS with gestures and things like palm rejection is second to none. They also do sleep/standby when you close the lid...

I mean it was pretty, but not terribly good. It didn’t give ff fans anything they wanted and was too anime formula for American mass appeal at the time. Cgi animation was taking off. Out pixar-ing Pixar sounds like it should be great. Planning to be steam but with nfts too sounds great. They...

I expect it to go as well as their foray into feature length animated movies.

laptop 3070 seems to be pretty good for the 1440 laptops. They won't be quieter if you attempted to build a full size pc on the quiet end of things. IT'll be little whiny jet engines while gaming hard.

PC gaming has been cake for me for a while once I stopped doing certain things. My lessons: 1) Just buy the fastest card and stay away from SLI/Crossfire. The industry seems to have joined me in this conclusion. 2) Game on one monitor. You can have more for productivity, but monitor 1 is your...

Modern stuff can idle pretty low for what it is. But That's with a cpu, gpu, and m.2 drive as the components. HDDs are going to be 6W plus each on top of the basic components and if you aren't buying data center specific drives, you are probably going to see closer to 10w each.

Launch price of the fe was $699. Launch price on the most basic model from evga was $699 because nvidia required it and aibs were complaining they were making no money on them at launch which is why they were effectively never available. The model in question was $809.99 at launch (got the...

I don't know that you will ever get that. I mean the launch price of the 10GB version before the apocalypse was $899, and tariff changes mean about 25% on top of that (So ~$1123). Plus inflation increasing shipping costs at the least. Plus an extra 2 GB of memory. Minus the supposed NVIDIA...

So my system is currently an asus b550-i with 5900x, 3080fe, 32gb of G.SKILL TridentZ 3200 CL14 memory, 2TB WD black sn850 as primary and ADATA XPG SX8200 pro as secondary. Answering a question for another user had me run crystal disk mark which I hadn't for a while on the XPG drive. It was...

I switched from a gen 4 double sided (silicon power US70) to a gen 4 single sided (2TB WD Black SN850) Read more: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/9668/wd-black-sn850-2tb-nvme-2-ssd/index.html . Both 2TB. I'm not doing anything weird that massively stresses disks and temps are very similar. The...

You can't even search yet, but I jsut swapped my boot drive toa WD black SN850. With a asusb rog strix b550-i mobo a 5900x, 32 gigs of CL14 g.skill 3200mhz ram and an RTX 3080, I got a 3081. Anyone else try it?

My $0.02. There are a few reviews. IIRC the most optimistic of them see a 20% improvement. Now go use you old DDR4 machine in SMP mode then in DOCP/XMP mode. The delta will with DDR5 will likely be less than that. At some point DDR5 will be stomping all over DDR4. This is not that time...

Hmm reseated the ram like a million times in this process and it threw the many errors on an identical motherboard with the same bios revision.

So I recently had my rig melt down and seriously stop working. After some troubleshooting help the determination was that it crashed hard and corrupted the bios. It seems that the crash was due to memory issues despite having run the memory in the rig at xmp timings for the better part of year...

And now the ram passes memtest86.... could it just not be happy with the 5900x?

FYI, I got the motherboard back to working with the 3700x in it and am using it for the memtest86 runs corsair wants me to run on the modules.

If you have any classical stuff in your collection that isn’t crystal clear, i seriously suggest giving that a spin. Even some 2 channel high bit rate samples i grabbed off the web were helped. Everything i have that’s a pre 1960 recording regardless of genre seems to have been helped a lot by it.

I'm not into the cult of audiophile but I like my music and have opinions about what I put in my earholes, unlike a lot of people. I also enjoy careful listening. At the start I was 90% with Zarathustra's initial assessment. It worked with a few things but made most things sound tinny and...

You don’t need ram in the board. You also in theory don’t need a cpu, but the new board wouldn't start blinking until i put one in.

Well got my new RAM and installed it, and it passes memtestx86 and seems to run stable. We'll see how RMAing the ram goes. I'm curious if I cna revive the original motherboard witha bios flash.

I found some guides online for tweaking stuff. It definitely doesn't want to do the XMP profile numbers. I might be able to sneak up on something less than that, but it has a lifetime warranty and it's sold as doing those numbers. Oddly, in looking for tuning tips, I ran into a lot of people...

I could, but I don't have much experience with tweaking memory by hand. I have generally bought stuff with decent xmp specs and it has worked out. I mean this was stake with docp for months. I'm guessing it was marginal and now is not up to pulling off its promised performance. Any good...
