undersuit··on Intel announces Arc B-series "Battlemage" discrete graphics with Linux support
No reviews and when you click on the reseller links in the press announcement they're still selling A750s with no B-Series in sight. Strong paper launch.
undersuit··on Phishers Love New TLDs Like .shop, .top and .xyz
Ultimately every trademark/company has to buy all the domains under their soon to be gTLDed trademark/company.

apple.* takes time to gather revenue. *.apple gathers an infinite amount of money quicker.

undersuit··on OpenWRT One Released: First Router Designed Specifically for OpenWrt
Yeah plugged into my switch. The back bone of my home network is 10G and will be unaffected by the router's limitations even when I get a 100G switch.

It's disappointing the 1G link will only limit the potential downloads of my internet activity if it ever jumps from 110Mbps to over 1Gbps.

undersuit··on Costco’s butter recall, explained
I do not, but cookie batter should also be labelled if it has dairy/butter.
undersuit··on Costco’s butter recall, explained
Ha, why would a non-native English speaker ever be shopping in our glorious American stores? /s

Cookie butter is sweet spread primarily made of ground up cookies and is from France/Belgium/the Netherlands.

undersuit··on Costco’s butter recall, explained
So cookie butter is a butter that contains milk?
undersuit··on Old Vintage Computing Research: Dusting Off Dreamcast Linux
Yes, NBD works. I use it to give my 256Mb Pi a swap off the sdcard. You could also use iSCSI now.
undersuit··on Beelink mini-PC docking station supports desktop GPU
Looks like they just route 17 PCI-E lanes out of the chassis by shoving a 16x and a 1x slot next to each other. Not the best, but hackable.

undersuit··on Netflix Europe offices raided in tax fraud probe
>Do you know how we won World War 2?

We as in the Allied forces? The Great Alliance?

I also live within 200 miles of one of our Japanese Internment Camps.

undersuit··on Hacker Fab
Semiconductor Fabs have come a long way. The Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory opened for business in a small commercial lot in Mountain View in 1956. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Shockley-Semiconductor-L...

There was lots of older or used equipment Universities could buy before Fabs started being millions of square feet with hundreds of million dollar pieces of equipment.

As an American surrounded by Superfund sites I would like some of these unnecessary restrictions and harassment by the state. The US is so beholden to private interests we can't even repair the roads or mandate healthcare without making it into a market.

Then we already have a semiconductor industrial complex.

undersuit··on Create block devices on your computer backed by Redstone Memory
You're going to need redundancy of some sort. The Enderman can just steal your read (head)block.
undersuit··on Intel might be too big to fail
The US military industrial complex isn't nationalized.
undersuit··on RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs
That's not the only thing you can do.
undersuit··on RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs
RISC-V hasn't maxed out. A new 2.4Ghz clockspeed at 7nm(dev board actually 1.4Ghz) when my old Ryzen 7 5800X at 7nm gets 4.5Ghz. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/09/sifive_riscv_hifive/
undersuit··on RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs
You don't need these tricks, you can always increase clocks and speed up memory interfaces. It was a lot harder for Intel to widen the memory interface of the P5 or increase the clocks sufficiently so they made it superscalar.

RISC-V gets to take advantage of being produced in 2024 and absorbing all the clock speed and transistor advantages we get for free today because of 6 decades of transistor production.

undersuit··on RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs
This is RISC versus CISC again. ARM1's 25k transistors beat the CISCy Intel 80286's 134k transistors. Transistors had a cost at micrometer lithography sizes.
undersuit··on A near impossible literacy test Louisiana used to suppress the black vote

undersuit··on It looks like there will be a Raspberry Pi 500
I sourced a 16GB Optane in the 2242 form for $20, but if you get a full size adapter the 2280 Optane is less than $5 on eBay for a 16GB Optane drive that will run the heavy Raspbian image with plenty of room and swap.

david@liqueur:~ $ df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/nvme0n1p2 13G 4.8G 7.3G 40% /

david@liqueur:~ $ swapon -s

Filename Type Size Used Priority

/var/swap file 204784 0 -2

Sure the adapter introduce a cost, but even a used Optane drive is going to have better reliability, in addition to the mentioned performance, than a new SDcard; so pay $5.

undersuit··on A Bendy RISC-V Processor
You can do that.
undersuit··on A Bendy RISC-V Processor
You don't want transistors operating under the influence of outside forces. More than just having a bit flip in your data, what if one of the control lines in the CPU flips and the entire instruction stream gets corrupted... while you're trying to perform orbital maneuvers.
undersuit··on America's Greyhound bus stations are disappearing
I don't want to drive to the Delta hub; I don't want to drive. The bus is fine, there's a short stop on the way where I used to buy a milkshake.
undersuit··on America's Greyhound bus stations are disappearing
But I might want to spend 4 hours on a bus and I can't now. I have to take 2 1.5 hour flights thanks to the Delta hub.

Looks like a 3-d printed 40 teeth gear.

undersuit··on Rents fall and listings increase after rent control ends in Argentina
You.
undersuit··on Rents fall and listings increase after rent control ends in Argentina
No, IF it worked Milei would not have been elected.
undersuit··on Rents fall and listings increase after rent control ends in Argentina
Rent Control does exactly what it can do. It's a tool a government can use to reduce the pain the people feel while they do other things to address the root cause.
