I’m a millennial, so not that old, but even I consider there to be a difference between “dating” (casually with no particular commitment to a single person) and “going steady” or “being boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Not that I ever actually did casually date multiple girls at the same time, mind you, but that’s just because I have no game, not because it was some kind of taboo.
I mean, it’s just a comic, not a rendering drawn by a traffic engineer. There’s plenty about it that isn’t quite right, but it gets the point across so there’s no need to nitpick it. (Source: I’m a traffic engineer, among other things.)
They’re desperately trying to avoid talking about how Trump is raiding the treasury to pay off the criminals who helped him commit treason.
Buy an AMD GPU Challenge (Impossible)
so i pictured a netflix show where he lives on twitch 24/7 in a big brother type living room.
Would it kill Lemmies to read the article
This whole “you have no expectation of privacy in public” nonsense needs to end. Even in “public,” we had the concept of stalking as a crime!
The technology now goes so far beyond that there are no longer just two categories: we now have public, private, and panopticon.
IMO, real down only remains necessary for stuff like backpacking, because it’s lighter and packs smaller than any synthetic of comparable insulation amount. Unless you need that, synthetic is better.
baking in activity into your day-to-day routines is very helpful. Transporting yourself by biking, walking, taking transit, a mix of all of the above makes a large difference
I used to use uMatrix, but stopped when @gorhill stopped recommending its use. The way I figure, if I’m gonna trust the guy, then I’m gonna trust the guy.
and maybe to some degree, you can stick heat into groundwater
Do it long enough, and even that would become a problem. There are parts of the London Underground that are uncomfortably hot to ride because it’s existed so long they’ve managed to heat-soak the ground around the tunnels.
So, there’s a pretty big leap going from Strix Point (mid tier) to Strix Halo (high-end)
Holy shit, no kidding! I guess maybe that’s the reason Valve didn’t go that way: they wanted to put their product right in the middle of that graphics gap. Also, even that first one apparently has 12 CPU cores, so the whole balance between CPU and GPU performance is just off.
Still though, if we’re talking custom, it would’ve been cool if Valve could’ve had them build something equivalent to a “Ryzen AI 7” or “Ryzen AI 5”, but still with Radeon 8050S or 8060S graphics.
larger chip, lower yields
Oh right, I forgot about that part.
Not sure what kind of area one could expect for the CPU alone (without the integrated GPU) for this kind of process
I guess you could look up specs for a desktop Ryzen CPU that doesn’t have integrated graphics. Not sure which is the right one to pick, but I checked a few Zen 4 AM5 chips and they were all 71 mm2 @ TSMC 5 nm.
BTW, what actually is “Strix Halo” anyway? I’m confused about whether it’s what they’re calling all the latest-generation APUs, or just the high-end ones, or Asus co-branding, or what.
Are there not any lesser APUs (with smaller die size and higher yields) that aren’t “Strix Halo” but still have a similar architecture and decent gaming performance?
Unified still requires a significant amount of chip area per die
Even compared to having two entirely separate memory controllers, one for the CPU and one for the GPU?
Until recently, it was thought that only the copyright holder(s) had legal standing, so unless you could convince them to get involved as the plaintiff you were screwed. I think recently they’ve come up with a legal theory by which any user who was refused the source code could have standing, but it’s a new enough tactic that AFAIK it isn’t very widespread or proven yet.
They say it’s a custom design, so surely they could’ve custom-designed it to be unified rather than discrete if they wanted. I guess maybe they were trying to make sure it would only be bought by gamers by deliberately making it less versatile for AI?
Anybody else mildly surprised it isn’t based on an APU with unified memory, like a cheaper/slower Framework Desktop?
A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend to follow the ceiling contour and wouldn’t need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.
Yeah, if this shit hast to exist, at least let me use it for presence detection in Home Assistant without having to buy separate sensors or something!
