Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again
  • You shouldn't be comparing with DIMMs, those are a dead end at this point. CAMMs are replacing DIMMs and what future systems will use.

    Intel likely designed Lunar lake before the LPCAMM2 standard was finalized and why it went on package. Now that LPCAMMs are a thing, it makes more sense to use those as they provide the same speed benefits while still allowing user replaceable RAM.

    US copyright law 'forces researchers to explore extra-legal methods' for game preservation, say historians who are 'disappointed' after being denied a DMCA exemption
  • You were never actually able to buy a game, it has always been a "license" to play it. Even for physical cartridges and disks. The difference being, legally speaking, if you actually owned it, you could make and sell copies of it or take the assets from the game and make a new game with them and then sell that. Owning a license means you can play it, but cant make copies or reuse the assets.

    Even with physical media, that license could in theory be taken away if the rights holder chose too. Realistically it would be impossible to enforce since there is no way of tracking down all the physical copies, so no one has ever tried to do it. But legally it works exactly the same as on steam. The only change is that a new california law is going to require steam, and other stores, to be transparent about it, but nothing is actually different.

    Even on GOG, where they give you a DRM free binary, if the rights holder doesnt want it available anymore, they have to take it away. You wouldn't be able to download it and if you had saved a copy of the DRM free binary, playing it would legally be the same as piracy at that point.

    Despite all of this, game preservation is alive and well and isn't going anywhere.

    Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars
  • I agree, I bought my car in 2018 and its got a small screen and carplay / android auto. No OTA updated, no capacitive buttons, i don’t have to dig through touchscreen menus to change settings. I want to go electric soon, but everything i have driven is obnoxious with what you have to deal with in the cabin.

    Is Backblaze a reliable provider?
  • AWS has multiple teirs of storage options in s3, some replicate and some dont. by default those that do replicate do so in multiple availability zones, but not across regions. unless you turn on cross-region replication (CRR) which is an additional charge.

    So, for example without CRR if your bucket is in us-east-1 and 1 availability zone goes down you can still access the data, but if all of us-east-1 is down, you cannot.

    CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • All that stuff you talked about in the tabletop lore is literally talked about in the game. It’s not hitting you in the face in the main quest line, but if you play the side quests you find tons of fucked up shit that the corps are doing.

    [USA] Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone
  • Because they would be the ones actually entering it, you would just say some numbers out loud.

    But probably the smarter thing to do would be to leave the wipe code on a sticky note inside the phone case and hope they try it.

    [USA] Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone
  • I wonder though, if you had that set up and the cops ask you for the code to unlock and you told them the code to wipe and they end up wiping the phone. Would they be able to charge you with evidence tampering?

    This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
  • What about making these massive trucks require a CDL to drive? Sure some would be dedicated enough to do it, but im sure most people would see that requirement and just get something more reasonable.

    The Increasing Impatience Of The Speed Of The PCI-Express Roadmap
  • Its the server world that is demanding it. For most consumers 4.0 is more than enough, but servers are already maxing out 5.0 and will probably immediately max out 6.0 when devices actually become available.

    The Cloudflare Poison
  • the NSA (which lacks a mandate to act on US soil, and CF is a US company)

    They absolutely do have a mandate to operate on US soil, that is actually the main mandate and there is a separate military agency (CNMF) that operates on foreign soil. They are both headed by the same guy though so they might as well just be one agency.

    Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.
  • There is one extra step. I have an 6700xt, and with the docker containers, you just have to pass the environment variable HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 to allow that card to work. For cards other than 6000 series, you would need to look up the version to pass for your generation.

    Here's an example compose file that I use for ollama that runs ai models on my 6700xt.

    version: '3'
    services:
      ollama:
        image: ollama/ollama:rocm
        container_name: ollama
        devices:
          - /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
        group_add:
          - video
        ports:
          - "11434:11434"
        environment:
          - HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

          - ollama_data:/root/.ollama
