- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 4 days 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 4 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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

- Comment on Trump ties autism risk to Tylenol as scientists urge caution 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 :/

The yoink is not needed. We have a policy to get a new laptop every 4 years. After that the laptop is all ours once formatted on site ( to make sure no company or customer details get leaked )

Oh i know, and i agree. Im in talks with my boss to maybe upgrade the mainboard pre-maturely to the latest. Im using the lower costs as an argument haha

The other laptops arent finished yet. Framework is super expensive , even compares to other gaming laptops.
I think its worth it, but thats not the opinion of a lot of casual people.
And had i not gotten one via my job, i would not have gotten a framework 16 because of the price - Comment on The average age of Disney princesses is 505y. 1 month ago:

The anti batman plan involves joker actually. His weakpoint is his parents and him being alone. The joker is, in batman’s eyes, the source of both. He says that to beat him you need to press the parents button, which makes him erratic and easy to predict hehe
