The 3090Ti, while still an excellent card is hardly "newer hardware" at this point in 2025.

That assumes you're using a storage platform that routinely validates the integrity of the data at rest.

Re:Nvidia's RTX 5090 power connectors are melting on Tuesday February 11, 2025 @11:42PM (#43021963)
So funny because the only reason the 5090 has 32GB of RAM is because AMD put 24GB on the card they released against the 4080.
Your lack of understanding of the history of the internet is really not any of my business nor concern.
Predates the web but not the internet.
It's fundamental to all non-free software.

Just means that you're getting shit done.

If I see cable management, it just tells me that they spent more time doing that than labbing.

Those aren't VMs -- they're containers.
Indeed. An OOB interface is something you should always handle like radioactive material. It's volatile, powerful, and should be handled with extreme care and caution.
This is not even remotely true.

Patriot is amazing.

Re:Bad Bots Account for 73% of Internet Traffic: Analysis on Thursday November 16, 2023 @12:43PM (#38292770)
I'm not defending the validity of this article but it is very rare that Netflix, Youtube, or any other stuff backed by the big CDNs(Content Delivery Networks) cross actual metered transit connections(for the networks, not including what the end user has to pay for their servivces.)

Jeff is awesome, and only mentioning it because I have the same experience with Adrian Black's videos (Adrian's Digital Basement.)

I would have killed for this kind of content as a youth.

I remember when Ars Technica was a forum with a token website attached.
Re:MariaDB to be acquired by Runa Cap? on Tuesday September 19, 2023 @03:22PM (#37575028)
Runa is already a major stakeholder in MariaDB.

Recently, the MariaDB board started to pursue additional private equity and a dilution of shares and this is part of Runa's response.

More information is available in this SEC filing : https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001929589/2335caa...

This. Twitter has been the bane of billionaires, aspiring billionaires, and corrupt nation-states for a long time now.

Just want to throw out there that people should be allowed to be wrong. Especially if they've shown the capacity to recognize their mistakes and own them.

Yeah, we cringe but who ever actually learns something without making some mistakes along the way?

If we spent all of our time dealing with the anxiety of trying to never be wrong -- most of us wouldn't be able to function.

Same, but a two door '89 Grand Am with a 24" Kick drum in the front passenger seat.
The BoM has a lot of overpriced versions of common parts, as well.

It's not quite as bad as it seems at first blush.

My biggest issue with the early Airs is that they were so aggressive with how thin the display is, that the LCD is often damaged by the bag you keep it in from the outside.

A replacement display is basically 70+% the cost of the entire machine.

AppleCare had to replace two of them on my Sandy Bridge MacBook Air. They blamed the bag I kept it in(when replacing it the second time), but they also sold me the bag.

Re:3Dfx Voodoo Memory Upgrade – 6MB Mod on Monday April 03, 2023 @12:44PM (#35427010)
I disagree as technologies like DirectStorage and equiv. mature and are adopted.

In addition, undersized vram amounts is one of the ways in which Nvidia limits the usable life of their video cards.

Re:The Steam Deck is on sale for the first time ever on Friday March 17, 2023 @01:43PM (#35200295)
Unless you're planning to immediately replace the SSD yourself, I recommend going with the 256G version.

The 64G version uses an eMMC drive, which might as well be a microSD card itself.

That said, I use the 256G NVMe version with a few microSD cards and it's been an amazing experience. Games have slightly longer loading times when played from microSD but that's almost completely irrelevant because of how well the deck handles resume from suspend/sleep.
