    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    I suggest smoking right next to it each time you smoke for the next couple months, then look at the damage and realize what it does to you is even far worse. (From a guy that does enjoy Cigars on a frequent occasion)

    xz-utils backdoored

    Thankfully this was caught essentially in beta before reaching some fortune 100 companies. Imagine the $100s of billions in ransomware that could have hatched, this could have brought some very serious stuff down dead. Months worth of auditing to come.

    Claude takes the top spot in AI chatbot ranking — finally knocking GPT-4 down to second place

    From Tom's linked article above: "Meta, which is heavily focused on open source AI, is expected to release Llama 3 in the next few months which will likely enter in the top ten as it is expected to be similar in ability to Claude 3 — after all Meta has 300,000 + Nvidia H100 GPUs to train it...

    Voyager 1 has finally started glitching after a near-constant operation of 46 years.

    Hopefully it's been captured by aliens and they are just figuring out to reverse engineer it to send back messages.

    Intel CEO Doesn't See Arm-based Chips as Competition in the PC Sector

    Nvidia B100 and GB200 enter the supply chain certification stage

    Obviously Meta/Google/Microsoft are huge, but are they huge enough to match the compute of say H100s? Isn't Microsoft using Nvidia for their efforts, well with GPT4 anyhow? I know these guys have custom AI compute but isn't it VERY specialized and task specific?

    Nvidia B100 and GB200 enter the supply chain certification stage

    So AI compute is so hot that Nvidia doesn't even have to wait for competition to near before they innovate/release faster stuff simply due to customer demand? Customers says screw the upgrade cycle/depreciation we need more now?

    Raspberry Pi 5

    It's a nice upgrade no doubt, but at the current release schedule we'll be stuck with this for 4-5 years, to which I think is lacking. (my biggest gripe is no m.2 - i do realize other boards off this) I'd also like to have a MiniITX Pi Pro for Dev work, something with at min 10x the...

    Do 8x m.2 IT mode HBAs exist?

    The datasheet for the Highpoint 1508 says, "Card can be used in any slot PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slot; Bifurcation or standard" Given the Amazon reviews it appears the 1508 isn't worth even trying, regardless.

    Mmm, you might be right, too bad the Amazon reviews suck. Not much out there on this card.

    Do 8x m.2 IT mode HBAs exist?

    Looks like HighPoint makes some 8x cards, but not IT mode, I'm looking for something that is completely transparent. Like the good ole ibm m1015 days.

    Best Linux Phone?

    Best Linux Phone?

    I don't believe there really is one. I had the first Gen PinePhone but it was worse than absolutely horrible. I'd also like a high end Linux Tablet in the 8" range, LTE, but they don't exist either.
