That still creates many biological issues. How does the Alien remain a viable species if it keeps adding random DNA? How is the alien species (supposedly an invertebrate, arthropod) so similar to mammal DNA that it is even possible when it's difficult to interbreed very similar species on...

Ideally an image should be about 1500 or 1600 pixels wide and 1000 high. Don't tell me you shoot jpegs? The females generally have rather small tusks compred to males. Are you sure it was female? Can you post the full image online somewhere?

It was never clear to me why humans were a proper host and also prey for the aliens (presumably a parasitoid). Was there some logical explanation? I'd want to see the DNA.

Here is one take on the AI computing. :D https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/14/bofh_2024_episode_11 "The Boss loves it because (as we explained) purple is the color of AI working." :D

You cannot fix focus after the fact. Some tools have deconvolution sharpening and AI stuff that makes OOF look less bad. You should be using AF. Which lenses do you have? For about 30 years I would drive down to the SD zoo and/or safari park to conduct camera/lens testing. It was a lot...

Which cameras do you have and what are you trying to accomplish?

It seems like good news if only CTS. Now go see the hand surgeon. Just do it. Are you left handed or both?

I'm sure you know that all pain is not carpal tunnel. Regardless, anything more than discomfort should lead you to behavioural changes. I had some mild pain back in the 20th century that was not and quickly resolved with ergonomic changes, especially the wrist rests.

Your Dr. that diagnosed it should be giving a reference to a surgeon. There are plenty that specialise in the release surgery and there are several different versions. Get two opinions.

Maybe it is like this? https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/weird-speaker-problem-possible-virus.11661/

Those U series are low power laptop CPUs. I thought you were building a small desktop system. The Ryzen 5 5500 is for the AM4 socket and has NO functional GPU. The AMD 5000 series has no GPU by default, which is why they developed the 5xxxG (graphics) series with an iGPU (AMD's term is APU)...

Why would you put a $500 RTX 4070 in that system? The 5700G has more than adequate graphics for 4K TV for less than a $100 more than the Ryzen 5500.

The X3D has extra cache that helps many games. Some benchmarks (just like regular applications) are more or less sensitive to cache size and hit rates. There are probably hundreds of articles about the pros/cons of the X3D so you have to decide what to do for your particular applications. Of...

Has anyone noticed that the power levels of the 9000 series are different from 7000 series? The 7950x and 9950x are 170W, but the 7900x is 170W vs. 120W for the 9900x. Does the 7900x really use 170W or is that a mistake? It seems more logical that it would be less with fewer cores, but maybe...

I usually use the Noctunal coolers for everything, but the 5500 comes with the Wraith cooler that works just fine. I have a 5700G with the Wraith for years now. It's somewhat noisier than a Noctunal at full speed but you should use a temperature profile anyway. Nocturnal has a rating that...

I thought you lived in a standalone house?

Is that because the buildings are relatively old? I thought most residential buildings in the states for well over 50 years have implemented central HVAC. And maybe Dave can tell us how it is working out in the "sweatlands" of Scandanian. ;)

In most states you have a right to have appliances inspected by a professional. If the system is just too small for the hottest days, that is different from it not operating properly as installed (approved by inspectors). If all of your neighbors have the same system are they all performing...

Evaporative "swamp" coolers sucked in multiple ways. I spent too much time in places with them back in the day. The temperarture was lowered somewhat, but the humidity becomes high so you are feeling sweaty all the time. It does practically nothing when the humidity is already moderate or...

Is ASRock 4x4 officially distributed in the states? I'm not seeing them very much.

Back in the 2000s we were taught to use the monitor with LUTs and (preferably internal) sensors for production to maintain consistency over time and between locations. My current monitor expired during pandemonicium, but it uses the 16-bit LUTs regardless of the input. I have mine set to...

It could be screwing up in 8 bits also. And you never know if being used and possibly abused is related.

It's completely ridiculous, since there are no barrel plug adapters or spare parts available. It's not a laptop that is plugged and unplugged constantly.

I'm not so sure about burying crap in the woods, but the Firewatch has some personal relevance as a great uncle supposedly had a job standing on high with binoculars watching for smoke during his youth.

Did you do the water and air, or what were the manufacturing conditions? Class 8 through 5 air and UPW or sterile? That Monday morning wait for results was stressfull. In the 20th century there was not all of the online stuff. I was also worried about the occasional explosion in unclassified...

https://www.bee-link.com/products/ser7-7840hs-1 The PS is 19V*6.32A=120W. Power: Magnetic Power Supply (With 19V/6.32A adapter) Our US&JP power supply is wide input voltage range between 100V and 240V, althought it labels 100V-120V, it is safe to work with power sourse ranging from 120 to 240V.

Beelines has a funky proprietary PS (like APPLE's magno type) so that would not be feasible. :(

Right now they have the 2023 models. However, there are plenty of bad reviews for the 7840HS, which seems to be the more highly perfoirmant of the small boxes. It looks that the BeeLink and the MiniForum are fully Chinese companies so there is not much support or practical warranty. The...

That's pretty much like every facility I designed in real life. ;)

Do you have a naively 10-bit calibrated monitor? Years ago I bought an expensive nVidia Quattro to get the 10 bits, but I gave up on 10-bit workflows after finding that most software doesn't support it. I could not see any differences when switching inputs from the 8 bits to 10 bits in any...

What do you suggest for someone who likes to play with himself, but no violence or competitions, and offline, like during a lunch?

I expect that ARM is probably crappy in most older programs and any not optimized for their weirdly architecture. The question is which companies make good AMD NUCs (at high power levels) and are quick to market? Obviously ASUS is focused on iNtel. The one I have now is merely 11th GEN.

Is it realistic to consider a Zen % StrixPoint will exist in some variety of "NUC" sooner rather than later? I'm concerned that the next gen 15th of Intel will be well into 2025.

So like the Centrino? It sounded like there was some kind of lepton involved.

Have you tried the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

This one? https://www.newegg.com/matrox-c680-e4gbf/p/N82E16814106057

I don't understand about the keyboards. I use a KVM, so different computers have different functions. By the time the Copulot reaches a high percentage it will probably be replaced with something else. My fingers are not very compatible with using a laptop keyboard, so that's only for...

Looking as the specs the 9950x is no faster in GHz at maximum speed than the 7950x and actually slower at the base, yet at the same TDP. It's strange because the manufacturing process is the 4nm node compared to 5nm for the 7000 series. One would expect that the power should be less or the CPU...

Of course it will. The 7950x is more than 50% faster than the 3950x so maybe the 9950x will be 70-80% faster. The 3950x was a HUGE disappointment due to crappy single threads and I was happy to replace it with a 5950x as soon as it was released. The 7950x was another noticeable improvement...

Is it correct that only cheap portable devices are Copilot Plus compliant? It seems lame to me that I can have a threadrapper or 9950x and powerful nVida graphics 4080 Supers with more than ten times the TOps performance of the flimsy laptops, but that is considered inadequate? Am I missing...

How many will replace the 7xxx with a 9xxx of the same grade? I'm struggling to justify a 10-15% improvement on single threaders, and the all-core performance is less clear. Maybe there is some advantage in powers, but it doesn't seem like that. Am I so focused on avoiding the evils of Win 11...

Or you could have directed them to clean up. :LOL:

I can live with 3 slots, i.e., the 4th slot can have another card in it. Last year I found that all the 4080s were slightly wider than 3 slots. I can live with $1200 and 320W cards, but a 285W card is better.

You can easily update 10 to 11 after enabling the TPM. It's harder to prevent Windows from trying to update.

So it's OK to break the licensing agreement if you don't get caught? What kind of ethics is that?

Is that not providing much competition for nVidia to up its game? I was hoping to buy one more video card beyond the 4070Ti. I only buy one card every 2 years, so cost is not an issue.

Most people will have been replaced with AI robots by then. The remaining humans will have an nVida chip in their head. :LOL:

You have decades to upgrade and you are in the business. What do you think of the "new" 5800XT and 5900XT?

Some of my old CDs are totally useless now. It probably matters what materials they were using, but I doubt any but M-Disc would be usable in 2000 years. I read that the CRT television was the beginning of the end of humanity in the 1950s.
