For comparison, the new card lags behind the GTX 1650 model with its 896 cores, and even fails to keep up with the six-year-old GTX 1050 Ti (768 cores). Read more

Doesn’t Apple sell wheels for your desktop that cost like $4k? You think they give a shit what normal people will pay for things?
I just got a 14" MBP M1 Pro a few months ago for work. I’ll probably have this for a few years before they’ll upgrade me. The 13" MBP is my favorite model prior to this 14". Roughly the same size and more screen real estate. Can’t beat that.
The problem with Microsoft was not necessarily that they put out the occasional flop. Every company does that. The problem was that they couldn’t do anything when they had a potential hit on their hands. I had a Dell Axim X51 PDA with Windows Mobile. It was absolutely great and ahead of its time it would seem in many… Read more
I wouldn’t call IE a failure, when it was launched it solidified the browser space and made my life a lot easier... until it didn’t. Problem was the tie into all the legacy stuff they had to keep for business and businesses not upgrading ever.
RIP zune. God, I loved that thing, but I suppose I’m glad smartphones made the need for a dedicated music player obsolete. Still wish Google hadn’t killed Google Play Music though.
Windows Phone still an amazing UI and better than what exists now. The last one I bought was $20 and has an amazing screen. My friends always made fun of me for how little the battery lasted though.
Zune was fantastic, especially the streaming service where you got 10 songs to keep per month. I might dig mine out again, the UI was and still is amazing.
Wow what a list. it seem that microsoft has been trying to play catch up and also ran. office 365 is a paid version of free google drive, supported by old people death gripping on Word. Teams is just a shit version of Google meet/zoom with a crap version of google classroom added in for confusion. If Windows did not… Read more

I was always partial to “Internet Destroyer”
We used to call it “Internet Exploder.”
A lot of companies (mine included) are either not paying attention or are lazy. IT sent out numerous warnings about this and we are just now see people complain that stuff the wrote against IE no longer is working. MS sounded the warning bell years ago and IT here started warning people over a year ago and people… Read more
“Before I go any further, M1 MacBook owners don’t need to worry about having their sensitive data stolen. While this is a severe vulnerability that will need to be addressed, certain unlikely conditions need to be in place for it to work. Foremost, the system under attack needs to have an existing memory corruption… Read more
Damn, Apple almost got it right. Of the few complaints we had about Apple’s blisteringly fast M1 chip, support for only one external display was near the top. Sadly, the limitation was adopted by the new M2 chip, which powers the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13. Yes, both systems only support a single external display… Read more
The M2 MacBook Air only supports one external monitor officially, but so did the M1 MacBook Air, and that computer can actually support up to three external monitors by using a multiport hub.
Apple used to do a separate media event for iPod. Maybe we’ll see that in Sept for HomePod, tvOS and more news on Matter.
