- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 2 weeks ago:
Right, so basically he removed the software aspect in his tests which removes systems to protect the battery. I assume without them, it is damaging, like what great scott found.
Ye, he should have continued his experiments then!
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 2 weeks ago:
Ok, before i watch the video, no damage is not what great scott found from his testings… ( youtu.be/iMn2yVoEqPs ).
so i have no idea what to believe anymore, but my (based) experience is that it does damage it. Ill have to watch later.

Cant happen due to the end of zero 4 though.
- Comment on Real talk, which would you rather have: Megaman 12, or Megaman X9? 2 weeks ago:
Neither. Both games were run into the ground.
If i had to pick one, id go for an x ( or game based on x and zero ) game that goes over the elf wars that ties the x games to the zero games - Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 1 month ago:
Fugaku is not a pc. Its a computer, but not a pc. Its a supercomputer :)
Its a slippery slope, yes, but its one that separates a personal computer from any other device that just happens to compute something.
I get the point though, what makes the arm ampere system a pc and the phone in your hand not? It both has a arm cpu :)
Same arguments count towards the playstation or other consoles - Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 1 month ago:
Sure, but the wii’s coprocessor’s os was also unix/bsd based and that was nowhere near pc hardware. Actually, a few embedded devices (cheap routers, cheap toys,… ) use bsd (while they should run linux hehe) and are nowhere near pc architecture :p.
What makes a pc a pc is the actual hardware layout, hardware connections internally and how it boots. Im looking deep into ps4 and i can see why people call it a pc, but its a huge misnomer. If a ps4 is a pc, a raspberry pi( or any random sbc ) is also a pc because it has a usb or sata controller, cpu and pci bus while it has no pch/fch, no pc bios (which i can accept to not be relevant) or any of the pc hardware you cant think off ( spoiler, its a lot more ).
Hell, pc’s dont even have a southbridge anymore. We have the pch which is directly connected to the cpu over a bus that is nowhere near the old northbridge/southbridge design…
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 1 month ago:
Youre thinking of bootrom. Embedded devices use bootroms because they dont need the flexability of a bios. It means that on power on, the cpu is powered on and its bootrom starts running code thats burned inside the cpu.
This is different from a bios, that is code separate from the cpu and tells the cpu what to execute and where in memory it is.
The os has nothing to do with bios too. Bios has to do with how the system powers up and starts the cpu, not the os and related stuff. - Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 1 month ago:
Ps4 and ps5 are not pc architectures though. It has a x86/x64 cpu, yes, but that doesnt make it pc architecture. Afaik the ps4/5 does not have a bios, pch, ddr ram controller etc etc

Right, wo i could in theory start sueing. Nice haha

Same here. All private cameras that record or process data need to be announced on entrance of a property. Though now that i think about it, idk how ring got passed that law to begin with

“Lost” They lost the fifa name, but fc is basically the same, and it still has all the players and club’s in it soooo… Its just a name change sadly
- Comment on Trump ties autism risk to Tylenol as scientists urge caution 2 months ago:
^ this.
The same applies for ad(h)d and a few others. You can have ad(h)d without being on the asd spectrum but they often coincide.
Its a spectrum for crying out loud, a collection of sympthoms in a varying degree of severity. Because its a collection, which btw you need to have several in a specific degree to get asd diagnosed, it means that the sympthoms can coincide with other diagnoses.
Its like being overweight, which can come from being diabetes ( type 1 i think?) or from having a slow working thyroid or even from having a bad diet. - Comment on 2 months ago:
Mind elaborating/telling me the problems? Ive been wanting to try the game but the dlc crap made me wait at least until the clans were added to base lol

The benelux media tweakers.net has tested the failing ssd on linux, and yes it did fail there too. They were saying temperature might have been a factor since in windows the temperatures were higher than linux, but something was off ye.
If this is a case of prerelease firmware being shipped and killing it, thats baaaddd - Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 2 months ago:

- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 months ago:
The limitations isnt in the lpddr5x ram, but in the sodimm interface.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 months ago:
Iirc this was due to the design of the chip. Framework said the bandwidth needed for the strix halo is waaaaaaayyyyy faster than the bandwidth of the sodimms that laptops have.
Hence they made the desktop, only thing they could think of doing with those classes of apu’s - Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 months ago:
They made a new webcam , but im not sure if they shipped new modules with the new webcam or if you have to buy the new module :/
