Is the Minisforum V3 any good? Yes. (Notebook Check)

It looks good on paper, and it also looks good in actual use.

The one shortcoming is the battery life, which is only around six hours due the the high idle power draw - about twice that of a Microsoft Surface tablet.

That's likely to be an issue with the BIOS on the review model not putting the CPU into the proper sleep state, but as of today it is something you need to be concerned about.

Tech News

If you're worried about the disappearance of the Z80, don't be: There's a project to produce an open-source version. (GitHub)

It's being produced as part of TinyTapeout and the chip measures 320x200 micrometers when produced on an ancient (and therefore cheap) 130nm process.
I mean, who doesn't need a 256-core carryon? (Tom's Hardware)

This squishes two 128-core servers each with 2TB of RAM into the size of a regular carry-on bag.

There aren't many people who need to be able to grab that amount of compute power, jump onto a plan, and just plug it in wherever they land, but the people who need it really need it.
Asus laptop update: It's dead easy to open and upgrade. Modern laptop covers are held in place with plastic clips as well as screws, and those clips can be a massive pain. In this case not so much; pry the first one open, and then just keep levering it gently until it's free.

Worth noting that the four short screws all go at the front.

Anyway, installed the extra 32GB of RAM, booted it up with the cover off, and it worked just fine and showed 40GB of RAM (it has 8GB soldered in place and one free slot).

Next up I swapped the SSD. Powered on and BIOS recognised the new device, so I closed it all back up and plugged in the recovery drive.

Which told me to go jump in a lake.

So I plugged in the Windows 11 install drive.

Which also told me to go jump in a lake.

I have some Windows 11 install tricks to try, and failing that, a couple of spare SSDs.

But why in 2024 does the Windows installer still fail with a generic message and an 8-digit hexadecimal error code? You're not short of space for proper error messages, guys.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken *may* soon impose sanctions on the Israeli Defense Forces' "Netzah Yehuda" battalion, potentially marking the first-ever U.S. sanctions against an Israeli military unit.
*Should* these sanctions be enacted, they could exacerbate already tense relations between the two allies, especially amidst ongoing hostilities in Gaza.

In coordination with the Chief of the General Staff, the Head of the Intelligence Directorate, MG Aharon Haliva, has requested to end his position, following his leadership responsibility as the Head of the Intelligence Directorate for the events of October 7.

The Chief of the General Staff thanked Major General Aharon Haliva for his 38 years of service in the IDF, during which he made significant contributions to the security of the State of Israel as both a combat soldier and commander.

94 Okay. The reason I'm obsessed with Richard Goldstone is because he was denied entry into Israel. This may seem minor, it is not. It sets a precedent that a professed Jew can have their identity revoked. That is HUGE. And forces an examination of what caused it. Goldstone declared for World Court: a World Government outranking the Nation of Israel and therefore a denial of the legitimacy of any nation anywhere, and was declared Not-Jewish because of that position. See where that goes?
It's an incredibly important precedent and deserves a lot more examination than it is getting.

France's financial contribution.

136 Parents are hyper anxious to have their own kids "like" them, and pretend that they're just buddies.

Kids are hyper anxious to prove that they're the best human being on earth and how dare you say otherwise, so they soak up the programming in schools about whatever Current Thing is, and become insanely zealous about it.

So i think it's a two way street. Parents make their kids an emotional and ideological windsock in a hurricane to begin with, and then the kids pass that spastic fervor on to their malleable dopes of parents. Basically a positive gain feedback loop.

187 I believe that warning is relevant to all Americans living in NYC. And visiting NYC voluntarily? Insane. NYC is a dangerous shithole, and nothing more.

188 Morning, all.
It's a little cool outside, but it is still just the end of April.

Our Senior grandson and his lovely girlfriend were elected Prom King and Queen Saturday.
A nice thing to happen in the midst.
For old fashioned reasons- he's a smart, good-looking, well-liked guy (we used to call him the Mayor when he was little) but not to make a point or virtue signal.

About fifty percent of the men at my old big city parish CC at Mass, in spite of the GFZ signs at the doors. Some of the ladies, too.

208 Hey, Pixy, would you mind posting the exact model number of the Asus laptop? As I mentioned before, although Asus swears up and down that models with the 2.8K screen exist, none of the SKUs available to Canada seem to. And I cant find them on the US site either. I'm wondering if it's something only available in APAC.

209 Anyone else starting to get the “error occurred” message again? I get two or three HQ reloads to open posts in a new window before the site can’t be accessed, and I have to close the tab and start over.

210 >>>But why in 2024 does the Windows installer still fail with a generic message and an 8-digit hexadecimal error code? You're not short of space for proper error messages, guys.

Because it was meant to be sold, not supported.

211 My Win11 install trick, install Win10. When that starts failing, move to different OS if Win12 sucks too.
