Single DIMM gaming works better than you might think. (Tom's Hardware)

Assuming you're not using integrated graphics. If you are, it works exactly as you would think.

But if you have a graphics card, and the graphics card has enough memory of its own, and your single DIMM has enough memory, and you have an AMD X3D CPU, the performance loss is only around 3% on average.

And given that I have a 128GB kit (2x64GB) and a 96GB kit (2x48GB) I could run four systems rather than two if they all had X3D processors. Not that I need four systems, but I could.
Setting up OpenClaw isn't as easy as the internet claims. (Tom's Hardware)
Having 48GB of available video memory should allow us to run a fairly powerful AI model on the system.
Wait, 48GB of VRAM? What hardware... Oh, a Beelink mini PC, and that's shared memory with the integrated graphics.
Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion - but it should have. (Tailscale)

Interesting writeup on why the dog didn't bark in the night.
AMD's new Radeon 9050 graphics card is poop. (WCCFTech)

Not as poop as the RX 6400 I just bought, until you take price and power consumption into account, in which case it's more poop.
Sony understands that its customers are upset about its plan to end disc support on PlayStation. (WCCFTech)

It understands. It doesn't care. It's doing it anyway. Because fuck you that's why.

Daft Punk's second album, Discovery (2001), earned acclaim and further success, with the hit singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".

It became the basis for an animated film, Interstella 5555, supervised by the Japanese artist Leiji Matsumoto.

28 Last night we watched the 1964 movie Paris When It Sizzles, with William Holden, Audrey Hepburn, and appearances/cameos by Noel Coward, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, and even Audrey's husband at the time, Mel Ferrer. (He has no lines but plays a costume partygoer who is done up as Dr. Jekyll, drinks a potion, and turns into Mr. Hyde.) Not a "serious" movie -- and thank goodness for that. It's light, frothy, funny (especially about the movie business), and just plain fun.

33 Oh, that's right! A new month it is! "August." For Northern Hemisphere dwellers, anyway, the word just seems to seethe with heat, doesn't it? "Aw-GUST" (said with an exasperated sigh).

In my school days it was always bittersweet, a harbinger of terror -- our last month of freedom before going back to the daily prison of school. Not even a whole month after I was twelve, as school began just before Labor Day.

According to Woody Allen and other New Yorkers, I believe, the word signified the month when their therapists and psychiatrists went on vacation, and an emotional crisis meant there was nobody to call.

40 We watched the classic The Spiral Staircase, the 1946 original with Dorothy McGuire, the other night too. It has a bulldog in it. (Nothing terrible happens to him, I promise.) Still very effective, so much so that it's been remade two or three times -- including a 1961 TV version with Elizabeth Montgomery as the mute girl and with Gig Young (her husband at the time).

There was even a radio version. How could they do that, you ask, when the lead character speaks only two or three lines at the very end? The scripters gave her a running internal monologue, spoken by Dorothy recreating her role, so that the listeners would know what was happening and how she was reacting.

Back in 2007, some guy wrote each word in "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" on his fingers and hands, and flashed them in sync with the lyrics. It brings home how they get increasingly fast and twisty as the song goes on. Then a few months later, a couple of chicks did it with the words on their limbs, spazzing like madwomen by the end.

Public school, and yes, we were expected to learn -- and to get good enough grades to be promoted to the next grade. We weren't just passed along up the ladder no matter what.

She wasn't asked who her favorites are, but who were the most effective. El BJ was named with Kennedy as a functional duo. Dittos when mentioning Obama for his contribution to completely wrecking health care, she added "...and Biden too...together".

FDR remains, of course, their George Washington.

159 Sony is removing discs from the PlayStation because every component in consumer electronics adds 5-10x its BOM cost to the final price, and the console market is already suffering badly from the DRAMpocalypse. More importantly, a disc drive on a console is completely superfluous at this point. The average AA game (never mind the AAA games that are the basis of the industry) will not fit on a single disc anyway, and we have two decades of market research that shows consumers reject having to swap discs or install games on their console. Console BluRay drives run at ~200Mbps, which is nowhere near fast enough to stream the high-res texture maps used by current games into memory.
All of which is irrelevant, because every disc-based game for the last two generations has just been a physical key that unlocks the digital download anyway.
That it eliminates the secondary market is a nice bonus for Sony, but this was going to happen regardless. The technology requires it.
