What I buy is 100% under my physical and electronic control and cant be turned off remotely.

As you can see in these screencaps its worse than you (and I) had thought

Subscriptions Are Getting Out of Control

This is why I don't let Smart TVs go on the internet. I dont run security cameras which dont dump video to my servers. I dont buy printers. I use as much analog audio equipment as possible, never buy audio plugins, etc

Intel mandates at least 7,467 MT/s RAM speed for Panther Lake — Slower memory will relabel the Arc B370 & B390 iGPUs as generic "Intel Graphics" in Task Manager

Panther Lake chips with Arc B370 and Arc B390 iGPUs will require RAM running at 7,467 MT/s or higher since integrated graphics rely on shared system memory. If the RAM config is any slower, those impressive iGPUs will be relabeled to generic "Intel Graphics" in Task Manager in an effort to prevent vend…

Binning results from 13 Ryzen 7 9850X3Ds prove that the CPU is purely an overclocked 9800X3D from the factory — 9850X3D looks similar to 9800X3D, just with higher voltages

Binning data from 13 Ryzen 7 9850X3D samples was published online, showing the average required voltage the 9850X3D needs to achieve its peak single-core clock speed.

Every so often, I read and hear that Apple is no more innovative because the devices look always the same (not the only reason, but let’s focus on this).

I just don’t get why. Why it needs to change? I’m not against new, I’m just happy with my devices. iPhone: it works fine, would even love to get back in time where an iPhone could still stand on the table without help. MacBook: I love […]
