  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • They charge a fee for access to the spec and maintain who can claim their products are HDMI compliant and require compliance testing on those products.

    An open source implementation would make that spec public and strip a lot of control they hold.

  • Bambu allows you to automatically switch to a different spool from ams when you run out and continue printing, so this becomes unnecessary.

  • Imagine you start researching something else before you've had the opportunity to finish your last. I have 10-20 tabs open for each of several in progress projects on my tablet

  • Where did I put the tablet I had in my hand 3 minutes ago? No clue. Phone number to the store I bought some PC parts once in 1997? No problem.

    Edit: store is long gone, building is long gone, I moved to a different continent twice, but this is clearly essential information.

  • I spend significantly more time keeping AI at bay than using it.

    • It is not good enough to write code at the expertise level I'm usually required to work at. I've spent more time fixing generated code than it would have taken me to write it from scratch.
    • It hallucinates too much for me to trust any information provided by one
    • Security of AI companies is about the same as IoT companies with the difference being that if IoT leaks my data it's going to be incompetence and not malice - I don't trust AI with any of my local data.
    • AI agents require to be given even more access and permissions and that's just not happening.
    • I contact support when I've exhausted what I can do myself and as a result AI chatbots are an annoying obstacle that can't help me and I have to waste my time going through to reach a person that actually has power to help me

  • Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts

  • Slightly different part, same process. The bigger bottleneck is packaging - HBM is 3d stacked.

  • Same memory production capacity can be allocated to ddr5 or to hbm and openai signed contracts with sk hynix and samsung, the two largest ram manufacturers in the world, and bought a significant percentage of next year's production.

    DDR5 prices started spiking as that deals impact propagated through the supply chain. I bought a 2x32 6800 Cl30 kit for 195 euro 12 days ago. It was 330 euro 4 days later.

  • Do you have good brand for RAM in mind

    I usually go with Crucial for desktop RAM, but that's not a strong preference, but rather good price to performance ratio for the faster memory kits they have. Might not translate to ECC memory.

  • 7600 has >90% of 7600x performance with a 65W TDP instead of 105W and it's cheaper. 7900 non-x also has a 65W TDP despite having twice the cores. Both x and non-x can be pushed down to 45W by enabling eco mode in bios. Performance difference between 65W and 45W is less than 5%.

    If X variant is very close price-wise to non-X go with X obviously, but otherwise don't stress about getting the slower one, because for server workloads the difference is very small.

  • The only AM4 and AM5 motherboards I'm aware of that officially claim to fully support ECC are made by Asrock as their server sub-brand Asrock Rack. They are pricey AF - 500-600 euro for the motherboard alone. As a bonus you get 2x10Gb ethernet + separate ethernet port for remote management, including bios access and a bunch of other goodies.

    I used one of those (Asrock Rack X570D4I-2T) for my NAS - it comes with 2 oculink ports, each of which provides 4x SATA.

    Unofficially ECC works on many (possibly all) B an X chipset series motherboards as long as you are not using G-series CPU. If you google around you'll find a bunch of unofficial confirmations from users of specific motherboards that it does work.

    E.g. Asus PRIME B650M-R + Ryzen 7600 (non-x) is a good start and will cost you 250-300 euro total. LSI 9300 16I will add 16 SATA ports for another 50-60 euro. 200-250 euro for a 2x16GB ecc kit.

  • More durable, cheaper, can be operated at a wider temperature range and much safer, but at a cost of lower energy density.

    They look like a big step forward for uses where density matters little, like grid energy storage or small scale home backups.

  • The Guardian view on hybrid cars: profitable for carmakers but not very green

    Jump

  • tl;dr; from the actual report: plug in hybrid emissions are pretty much the same as regular hybrid emissions, because their electric engines lack power and internal combustion engine kicks in way more than in the tests that got their lower emissions numbers.
