13-14gen Intel Cores are still more than enough for your average home gamer, Zen 5 shows only marginal improvement over Zen 4 except for a very narrow range of workloads, getting wider than 128bit memory bus is prohibitively expensive while relatively cheap consumer boxes like Mac Mini run circles around dual-channel DDR5 setups, so on, so forth.
Sure, presenting this as a consequence of AI boom is convenient for a news outlet, but even before the craze both Intel and AMD were dragging their feet.
I'm not buying it. Both the premise and the new motherboard, that is.
> According to The Cybersec Guru, this is an unpatchable problem for Sony, because these keys cannot be changed and are burned directly in the APU.
I'm just speculating at this point, but what could prevent Sony from anticipating this exact situation and burning several keys in the APU? I mean, eFuse is not exactly a new technology. That way, once a key is leaked, Sony could push a firmware update switching the APU to a new key which hasn't been leaked yet.
And if I'm not able to lug that brick I can just plug the headset directly into my laptop.
Although it's for gamepads, it's pretty much indispensable in debugging gamepad-related latency issues. For example, I found that my presumably 1000Hz controller can do only 500Hz in ideal conditions and it starts to drop at a much lower distance from the computer than advertised. Neat stuff.
Also it's interesting that with ProMotion enabled it reports 16.67ms per frame (indicating 60Hz redraw rate) in Safari, but in Chrome it's 8.33.
On the other hand, his Lord of The Rings was an "alternative" dub as you described. Didn't watch that one though.
240Hz demo in 144Hz mode looks flickery but much more realistic.
That's kinda harsh. For what it's worth, the base model isn't that bad and the storage can be (theoretically) upgraded down the road, even though it might cost a fair bit more than a standard m.2 SSD.
Sure, in raw compute it's slower than competition, but objectively it's still plenty fast and more trustworthy in terms of reliability.
Mini is great, exceptionally so, I actually just got a rather souped-up one (that's the reason I'm in this thread) but x86 vendors are catching up and there's a certain possibility that more established brands will pick up.
Speaking of issues, the other one with these low cost mini PCs is low-quality SSDs. The one that my UN100D was supplied with was pure garboleum in terms of speed so it had to be replaced.
BD790i that I just received (didn't even install anywhere) has a rather substantial heatsink over the CPU similar to high wattage GPUs. The chip itself is rated at 55W TDP so it shouldn't be that much of a problem cooling it. The motherboard doesn't come with a fan and I'm definitely not going to spend extra on high-end ones at least just yet.
I don't know anything about the thermals of 790S7's case though. It looks like they gave it at least some thought judging by the duct over the CPU, but how it actually performs I have no idea.
The CPU in it is faster in raw multi-thread performance, single-threaded it's a bit slower, but still quite impressive.
The only problem I had with Minisforum is that they couldn't supply the exact hardware I ordered and their suggested solution was either to wait for 1+ month or get a sligtly different configuration. Two times out of two.
Quality-wise they're pretty good though, no complaints there.
Give it some time.
Long rant: I've got a Windows 10 machine with NVidia graphics, a company issued Windows 11 laptop with an integrated Intel GPU and a fairly recent Macbook. The display in question is MSI MAG274UPF, which can be considered wide gamut.
Mac (presumably) pulls RGB primaries from the EDID and performs the necessary gamut mapping without losing the ability to display images in P3 space. Colors are perfect, wide gamut tests pass, everyone's happy.
Windows 10 has no idea what to do with WCG and displays everything in ultra vivid, extra saturated colors even after trying to mess with vendor-provided ICC profile. WCG tests fail.
Windows 11 should have Auto Color Management, which in theory should bring us roughly to feature parity with macOS, but for some reason it allows me to turn it on only on the laptop's internal display, which has ~60% sRGB coverage. Apparently Windows does not want to enable gamut mapping in SDR mode on HDR certified displays, even if they conform only to DisplayHDR 400 specification, which is an abomination in itself. Results are the same as with Windows 10.
My disappointment is immeasurable. We could have proper WCG support in Windows world.

Thanks!
I don't want no dick in my food, thank you very much.
Though it's entirely possible that Pi leaks HDMI into the ether. Someone with a Pi4 and a RTL-SDR could easily verify it: pixel clock frequency of a 1024x768 signal is around 50 MHz.
Which I unlocked to ~300W and installed a water cooling system.
It can idle at around 5W, but a synthetic load (e. g. prime95) quickly makes it draw full 300W and then throttle a bit. Fun stuff, definitely wouldn't do it again due to enormous strain on the PSU and an unreasonably high power draw relative to performance.
We found that when one of our engineers sat down on a chair which triggered a button with an obscenely wet fart sound.
Needless to say, our productivity went through the roof that day.
Granted, it's usually just web stuff, nothing too complicated.
Ok, I lied. Sometimes it's cafeteria and not the bathroom.
