Notes

At the very Least, until it is Unplugged

No, I wouldn't do that to you.



I have two Butchers and a Bujold to finish this weekend. To give you an idea of how busy I have been, I haven't yet read Peace Talks or Battle Ground.



Intel's discrete GPU chip DG1 is now available. (AnandTech)



To laptop makers - it's not available as an option on a card. So far, I'm not sure the laptops have shipped.



Speaking of benchmarks In terms of benchmarks, the Ryzen 5600X is fast. (Tom's Hardware)



It's amazing if this is the case. (CPUBenchmark)



Although multi-threaded performance may be possible, single-threaded performance is quite surprising. This benchmark is only one and it's likely that this benchmark runs particularly well on Zen 3. However, I've observed that Passmark scores track very closely with Python performance, so it's a useful benchmark for me.



If it is able to stand up, then AMD's new 6 core processor boasts 110% of the single-threaded speed and 94 percent of the multi-threaded performance of Intel's flagship 10 core 10900K. It's faster than an 18-core Xeon Gold 6140.



It would also be a major upgrade over my current Ryzen 1700.



Even if it states "Ships from and is sold by Amazon" you have to look over the fine print.



No, I was not burned - this does not apply to the model with 400GB, which appears to be authentic. However, you can purchase SanDisk microSD cards on Amazon AU. Anything smaller than 400GB comes with this bizarre disclaimer.



This is an aftermarket of generic part.



Ubuntu 20.10 is available, and includes a Raspberry Pi edition. (Tom's Hardware)



It was there and I wanted to be sure. I'm required to install the new Linux VM onto a New Spare Laptop as the old one was an absolute mess.



In the context of spare laptops, it is it discovered that Old Spare Laptop has the same battery problem as New Spare Laptop.



Old Spare Laptop has a loose connection. This, along with the battery that is failing, makes it unreliable even when it's connected. It appears that the issue is in the charger cable and not the laptop. I discovered that I had a different charger with the same plug, so I swapped themand it was working.



It will continue to function until you disconnect the plug. After that, it will die immediately.



In Hololive news, Gawr Gura hit 1 million subscribers and Mori Calliope hit 500k during the same Minecraft collab stream (which I was able to catch live), and Calliope was the number one iTunes album worldwide on the same day. Mc Name Coco is back to smear her fans and HololiveCN is being, um, granted independence.



HoloCN girls will be granted all rights to their characters to become independent. China is too toxic for Cover to be willing to confront right now, particularly with the runaway success of HoloEN.



Anemoia refers to the feeling of nostalgia for things you have never felt before. (Wiktionary)



Not to be confused with Amemoia which is what Gura feels about Watson.



Huawei has announced their Mate 40 series powered by the new Kirin 9000. (AnandTech)



The Kirin 9000's most notable characteristic is the massive Mali G78MP24. My Mediapad M3 sports the Kirin 950 , which has a Mali T880MP4, which is six times faster than it was before clock speed and improvements to the architecture.



You'd have to be insane to buy a Mate 40, though. It's not cheap and doesn't include Google services and production of the CPU - which was developed by TSMC's 5nm process, which is a new technology that has already been stopped by US sanctions against Huawei.
