It's locked to Synology re-badged drives. Junk. https://www.synology.com/en-sg/compatibility?search_by=drives&model=DS725%2B&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim

Ugh. I just want another 8p+0e SKU that runs at ~60C with a $35 cooler like my current 7800X3D. For the overwhelming vast majority of desktop PC users/gamers, 8P cores is the sweet spot, as most games still today don't use more than 1 or 2 cores anyway so after even 4 and especially 8 cores...

So it won't be an esports game, but is the game fun? Doesn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm about it, frankly the format doesn't appeal to me but I'm glad they're exploring other types of games with their IP.

Desktop SKUs with e-cores are pointless.

Pretty stupid decision by Synology. The NAS problem is largely solved, there isn't really much more one can do featurewise with them, so inevitably some companies in this space start exhibiting rent-seeking behavior. It's really rabid in the backup software industry too, although I saw Acronis...

Will need an inventory expansion/management mod on day 1 then...

I wonder if Apple or someone will ever come up with a way to emulate x86 at near-native speeds.

Is the 5090 worse at pure raster performance than the 4090? in other words did they gimp it to fit in all the extra AI cores?

If intel the made the 8080 today, they'd find a way to make a few dozen SKUs out of it. 8080 8088 8088a 8088b 8087 808808 ....

A phone that stretches into a tablet.... I guess?

We're probably at the start of a golden age of gaming where great games can be made once again, without the ideological baggage of a big studio thanks to AI/ML tools. Google recently announced that more than 25% of their new code is written by AI. A team of three, a writer, a graphics artist and...

I wish Nintendo would just fire everyone they hired since the N64 project. I want a cutting edge Zelda again but the current hardware is complete trash.

They are a tad heavy and not as comfortable as Hifiman Sundaras but they're not too bad either, 4+ hours at a time for me is no problem. The sound quality is excellent for the asking price and the battery life is generous too by today's standards (compared to Logitech anyway). The wireless range...

It's about time they released a color version, color e-ink displays aren't exactly new. I have a first gen scribe though and I simply can't see myself going from a 10" to a 7" screen again though.

Been hearing the same about Facebook and Instragram as well for awhile now.
