Will reflash my Deck once this hits stable as it’s acting up in various different ways.

Yeah, duplicate flags should just be ignored.

To be fair, a big portion of the work that goes into Linux (at least the kernel) is done by paid developers working for big corporations.

Considering Intel is behind TSMC as well, China might be quite close to Intel then.

More than enough for Apple to bend to pretty much everything the Chinese government is asking for.

And what would that help with?

See if you can find a (used) GPD Win (Max).

Otherwise maybe a used (~2016) 12" MacBook.

Other than that maybe some DIY solutions.

It’ll be cheaper if the device can be a little bigger, plenty of dirt cheap used 13" laptops out there.

I agree, once you factor in a power supply (or PoE hat), case and storage a Raspberry Pi really isn’t all that cheap anymore nowadays. Unless you have a project that specifically benefits from the GPIO pins or the form factor, just get a cheap barebones mini PC or a used one with RAM and SSD already included.

This will get you a system that’s way more powerful even if it’s a couple of years old (the Pi’s SoC is fairly weak) and I/O throughput is no contest, normally with at least a dozen PCIe lanes to use for NVMe storage or 10 gigabit network cards, if you so desire.

Around 15 TB migrating to a new NAS.

The article is from June 17th.

Yes, but even then the Phoronix results seem to suggest a larger gap in performance.

Something is wrong with the Windows scheduler and these new chips. The Linux results aren’t revolutionary, but they’re about what you’d expect from what AMD marketed in terms of IPC uplift.

More reviewers should benchmark hardware on multiple operating systems.

Regarding 2.): Disable “Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views (requires restart)” under Settings > Interface in Steam. This should fix the hangs.

I’m waiting to see how DeepComputing’s RISC-V mainboard for the Framework turns out. I’m aware that this is very much a development platform and far from an actual end-user product, but if the price is right, I might jump in to experiment.

What I mean by that is that they will take a huge disservice to their customers over a slight financial inconvenience (packaging and validating an existing fix for different CPU series with the same architecture).

I don’t classify fixing critical vulnerabilities from products as recent as the last decade as “goodwill”, that’s just what I’d expect to receive as a customer: a working product with no known vulnerabilities left open. I could’ve bought a Ryzen 3000 CPU (maybe as part of cheap office PCs or whatever) a few days ago, only to now know they have this severe vulnerability with the label WONTFIX on it. And even if I bought it 5 years ago: a fix exists, port it over!

I know some people say it’s not that critical of a bug because an attacker needs kernel access, but it’s a convenient part of a vulnerability chain for an attacker that once exploited is almost impossible to detect and remove.

That’s so stupid, also because they have fixes for Zen and Zen 2 based Epyc CPUs available.

Intel vs. AMD isn’t “bad guys” vs. “good guys”. Either company will take every opportunity to screw their customers over. Sure, “don’t buy Intel” holds true for 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs specifically, but other than that it’s more of a pick your poison.

I didn’t see any mention of the Microsoft Store on their website?

Nintendo Switch - on the Nintendo eShop Epic Games Store - for Win / Mac WorldOfGoo2.com - right here, for Win / Mac / Linux, DRM-free

Or are you saying it should also be available on the Microsoft Store? That wouldn’t help my mentioned use case (easy install on Steam Deck and cloud sync between Deck and desktop PC).

EDIT: Also, none of my computers run Windows anymore, so yeah, I couldn’t care less about the Microsoft Store.

Not a fan of that Epic Games Store (semi) exclusivity deal.

Offering a DRM-free version in addition to the Epic Store one is nice and all, but having it on Steam (on which games don’t have to use any DRM either should the studio choose not to) would be much easier especially because of cloud saves and the Steam Deck.

It’s a skip for me (for now). Still an enjoyable game I’d guess if you don’t care about Steam.

Temporarily connect the new drives via USB enclosures and clone the data via ZFS snapshots.

Pretty much any laptop with a mobile RTX 4090 and a removable wifi card then. Choose based on desired weight and size class I guess.
