    New phone time v. LG G4 bootlooped

    As someone who isn't far off at getting a new phone myself (digitiser is dying on the touch screen), I've been looking around as well... I was looking at the Nokia 6, Sony XA and Moto G5S. (low-mid range price bracket). I'm just having a hard time justifying spending $$$$ on a phone that lasts...

    Looming Silicon Wafer Shortage

    As a flow on effect, what will happen to the price of these IoT devices and things like Smart TV's, etc? I don't see most people being effected on the PC/tablet side of things (due to the slow replacement rate), but more of the everyday appliances that all seem to want to have some "smarts"...

    Amtel is Real

    Doubtful, as I would expect most HEDT setups you see would use dedicated gfx cards... (may see some of those chips in a Skulltrail NUC though, eg situations where Intel are using the Iris Pro GPU and there is no room for a dedicated GPU).

    Amtel is Real

    I'm wondering if part of this deal is for Intel to head-off the newly release Zen based APUs (Ryzen 5 2500U, etc)? Or to take on nVidia in the SOC space for laptops/tablets/portables? Obviously having a SOC or very tightly integrated package will be cheaper for the ODM/OEM to fit out any...

    Best 8TB Drive

    I think he means mixing 512n, 512e and 4Kn drives in the same array... If it's software based RAID or something like ZFS/BTRFS, then it shouldn't matter... If it's hardware RAID, well that'll be up to the firmware of the controller to decide.

    TP-Link's response was what I would consider typical... Let's EOL a whole stack of devices, and claim no support for them since they are now EOL. (Only current models/revisions for each current model device are set to receive updates). From what I've seen this sort of behaviour will affect...

    Intel Coffee Lake Another Rush Job

    My first Opteron board (Tyan K8W) had AMD chipsets. The main problem with the AMD-8151 AGP chipset was that is was very picky about the card you used, and towards the end it was noted that you had to use cards that were native AGP and not those that used a PCIe to AGP brigde (eg most GeForce...
