AMD has clawed back a hefty 10% market share in the desktop x86 CPU segment over the last year. And that has us wondering, could those crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs be hurting Intel's sales?

I mean that’s a pretty obvious yes. Even if the 285k had been a decent product I still wouldn’t have considered it after seeing that Intel knew about oxidation issues and tried to hide it. Then you have the poor thermals and high power draw of previous 2 gens on top of the cpu problems. I’d already made up my mind to upgrade to AM5 before the 9800x3d was released and reviewed.

 

Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.

Yeah I’ve been following it and seen that it’s crossed into pigs and onto a pig farmer. CDC’s work is going to become even harder under the new administration.

This bodes well for everyone if bird flu makes the jump to humans.

Ahh that also explains why it seems to be a google only thing. Thank you though, knowing that it’s through the shopping api will hopefully help me find a solution (if it exists).

 

Google pushed their Ai Overview onto my country last night and that finally gave me the push to change search engines.

One thing I did find useful was having product prices displayed in the search result headers but this doesn’t appear to be enabled in any other engine. I used it to quickly scan between retailers as not everything shows up in pricespy or priceme.

I deployed a searxng instance this morning and have heard that you can use json to modify result presentation. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use that to display prices?

Yeah this might be the one legitimate time to yell “false flag”.

Supposedly there’s no limitations on the b650 for pcie lanes but I did note that on other boards which is why I ruled other ones out. But yeah seems safer to go with x670e and then there’s a 4th m2 if I really need it.

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I’m all good for doing bios updates and as you say both boards have rear bios ports.

I think for $40 I may as well go with the x670e to get a pcie 5.0 nvme slot and better vrm. I’ve heard rumours that the x3d may be overclockable but doubt I’ll bother.

Upgrading from an 8700k to a 9800x3d once it’s out. It’s currently a long weekend in New Zealand so there are some decent sales, but we do suffer from a real lack of choice. E.G I'm sure somebody will recommend the Tomahawk but it’s out of stock and NZD 500.

My main criteria for a motherboard is having 3+ m2 slots. I’d previously found the ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E ATX for NZD360, but the MSI X670E GAMING PLUS ATX has recently been listed for NZD400.

I’ve previously almost exclusively used Asus mobos and am not concerned about Asus’ poor reputation for RMA as we have legal consumer protections that mean I deal with the retailer not Asus. So I’m happy to go ahead with the Tuf but wondering if it’s worth paying the extra $40 for an x670e board?

Anybody have experience with either mobo they can share?

Railway signalling and interlocking systems. Sure ETCS and other digital systems are far safer, but some dude at a junction used to manually reset the points and crossovers using a giant lever. Now everything’s just a digital system overseen by someone with 8+ monitors in a control room removed from the actual network.

Also, not a technology, but rally cars used to be fully unhinged. I could watch old Group B videos for hours and never get bored.

There were chips that suffered from oxidative flaws during the manufacturing process which Intel didn’t tell anybody about until July of this year. You are correct that they aren’t on sale now but it’s not correct to say this was only a voltage issue.

TIL

Thank you, as a relatively new Trekkie this is cool to see how it’s been tied back to the original.

The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.

Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.

Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?

 

I have media server which is using a commercial VPN that I got with my Usenet subscription. This is the only device on my home network that is using a VPN.

I tried to set up pihole on the same server with my router redirecting all traffic to it but couldn’t get it to work while the VPN was active. I’m now looking at getting a Pi 4B solely for pihole and considering running OpenVPN on my router so that my phone can run back to the pihole while I’m out.

My concern is that running the dual VPN setup may expose the traffic on my server. The commercial VPN does have an OpenVPN configuration that I could apply on my router but that’s not my preferred option.

Will my server traffic still be masked if I’m running a private OpenVPN configuration on the router?
