As discussed here! https://retrolemmy.com/post/27617593

The change being that there was expected to be a change in the situation, which isn’t happening with 18A going slower than expected. This article doesn’t have much focus on the 18A part though.

Intel’s next-generation […] process […] more slowly than expected.

When was the last time one of Intel’s next-gen processes went well? 🫠

In 2018, Tour and his colleagues discovered that this rapid heating process, called flash joule heating, can turn any carbon source—including coal, biochar, and mixed plastic—into graphene

Wait we discovered how to transform mixed plastic into graphene seven years ago wtf?

Looks pretty good at $30 USD, though even that price might be tough for patient buyers against dual towers that go on sale.

Tom’s Hardware has the first review I read and I was quite surprised by the quality of the review, where they (“partly because our main testing 9950X3D system is encountering problems at the moment”) compare it only against a Montech NX400 and an unnamed prototype dual-tower lmao

Imo that’s as much a problem of the sorting algorithm as it is with a single community blasting out too many posts at once without any consideration for how current frontends are unable to usefully integrate that into people’s feeds. A couple of years ago nanoUFO was being a bit (subjectively) overenthusiastic about posting - I counted and [email protected] had 40 posts at once from them and it made the first couple pages of my feed basically unusable for a while.

Scaled is also probably better suited for your subscribed feed rather than /All.

It took a bit to get through the whole thing, but this looks like the most exciting development in the niche field of hardware gaming reviews since 1% lows became a thing (RIP Tech Report)

What are your blocking habits?

I made it through nearly two years and eventually caved after I made the mistake of arguing in favor of the truth, supported by video evidence and a fact check from an internationally recognized fact-checking organization only to be told to “fuck off”, a second user said that they enjoyed pissing on my shoe(s) in their personal fight against truth, and some other catastrophically braindead takes. I generally don’t like the blocking approach for opinions I don’t agree with because everyone has differing views and also people have bad days and that’s just life. However, being actively hostile to the truth and being extremely confrontational about it was a bridge too far for me and it was either blocking a few mouldy potatoes in an attempt to keep things tolerable or getting off the threadi/fediverse so I decided to give the former a whirl.

If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?

Thankfully haven’t felt the need to block many, so the only thing I’ve really noticed is that occasionally one of the blocked users comments in the thread for something I’ve submitted (which I don’t get a notification for and can’t see) - but then someone unrelated replies to them and then I get a notification for a comment chain which I can’t actually load. It took me a while to even figure out why I was getting these “ghost” notifications.

I’m a very casual gamer, and not looking for an mmo, or anything particularly challenging.

Putting aside anything else, I doubt FTL meets the requirements just because it’s firmly on the hard side of things. Might be a good suggestion to check out for some others reading the thread though!

but the combat is a bit too hard for me

I haven’t really played since I was at most a teen so maybe the later battles aren’t actually as hard as I remember, but if this is a bottleneck then OP may find later sections of the game’s main story frustrating. I think the game itself is a good vibe fit and has broadly aged well, but something to keep in mind for OP!

Missed this when I CTRL+F’d for “Xe3” 😅

edit: omggg I took a glance and thought it was the same content so I deleted the submission on Xe3 but it’s actually different lmao

“for life” covers that eventuality :P

What about AV2 + Opus though!?

It’s a bit excessive for my taste as well. Traditionally if you felt the need to cut this much just to make the sentence come out the way you want, you’d just do another take instead of making this many cuts in post. Over-cutting of spacing also makes the pacing a bit too “word-vomit” rather than “polished” imo.

I imagine this is more normalized in stereotypically “zoomer” presentation of video content, but it might also just be this guy (or their editor’s) style.

(there is much less “tour” than I expected)

Well, https://www.techpowerup.com/341531/intel-reportedly-begins-18a-production-in-arizona-panther-lake-reveal-set-for-oct-9

Seems like a surprising amount of extra effort to change (and match!) all the colors for what I assume is a niche variation of an already pretty low-volume product.

Makes me wish this amount of effort was made more often for colors other than beige lol.

Alphane Moon is literally Charlie Demerjian confirmed

Using an arm wrestle picture for a legal battle with ARM seems about the right tone match for The Register tbf

I thought about posting the second report to [email protected] but it felt like a borderline fit and it’s from 2023 so I went “eh” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
