The 6900HS in the 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 has a default boosting behavior that keeps it at 95°C most of the time (on the user's lap). It might have a liquid metal thermal interface. Given these two samples, the original story is not surprising.

Re:Set up Pi-hole with your own recursive DNS server using DNSSEC

We need to better define exactly who's tracking we need to get around. I agree that DoH is a better solution to being tracked by your ISP.
Re:Set up Pi-hole with your own recursive DNS server using DNSSEC

Maybe I misunderstood what this does. Is unbound not sending requests to the ISP in this case?
Re:Set up Pi-hole with your own recursive DNS server using DNSSEC
on Friday January 21, 2022 @11:05AM (#30025408)
The author states that pihole sending requests to 8.8.8.8 (Google) is worse than sending requests to your ISP. I disagree. I have always had terrible experiences with Comcost's DNS. I trust them less.

Re:PNC Bank app blocks access for “security reasons” if not allowed to...
on Thursday October 14, 2021 @01:00AM (#28860675)
I just went through the Simple -> BBVA -> PNC transition. Yesterday when I installed the PNC app on my Pixel, I got the warning that I would need to allow storage access. But then the storage access prompt never came up. I just checked, the app doesn't have storage access but it works fine. Either they ended up not using the storage (maybe using a legitimate attestation API), or the latest (for one week) version of Android has a different, isolated storage API that doesn't need permission.

As domeone coming straight out of college, I disagree with your premise that threading is not accessible anymore. However, one possibility is that a proliferation of new languages brought with them new threading models and runtimes that all behave slightly differently. This makes many of the models look foreign.

Re:Asus confirms 3080 Ti graphics card with 20GB memory
on Sunday December 27, 2020 @04:47PM (#25554546)
The high end 3000 series cards use a faster, more expensive, proprietary kind of memory from Micron. Even with a little less memory capacity, bandwidth is still probably higher. I doubt the 3060 will use this.

It's probably a sweet spot between adding more CU's versus cache. Given their memory bandwidth is lower, alleviating that with cache makes more sense than adding more CU's.

If Apple currently sells you a house and you aren't permitted to put non-Apple electrical or furniture in, building codes are the framework by which third parties could be permitted to do so. We're already in the locked down house. Building codes are exactly what we need.

The first thing I notice in that comparison is that one chip is rated for a 45W TDP and other is 15-25W. While I think these cross-segment comparisons are exciting and show great progress, it's just not fair to the electrons.

Does this mark the first availability of a non-Raspbian OS for the Pi 4?
I've been disappointed by the lack of compatability at launch. I've only gotten Raspbian to work so far but it lacks a nice GUI for enterprise wifi setup.
I can't wait to try this out.
