One year after Windows 10's end of support and before GTA 6 is out...
Windows 10 now works on CPUs WITHOUT the NX bit!
Here's Windows 10 version 22H2 with latest cumulative update, running on a Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4!

@DocStrangelove2 Diesel and kerosene are over $7/gal in my State. What in the actual hell am I watching...

@price_dominie I go through vanilla extract too quickly. *Once* I managed to let a batch 'steep' for about a year, an it was still a fraction of the strength of store-bought extract. After that, I gave up on the idea of making my own and just buy about a bottle/month for my coffee from Costco.

@jeffqchen That thing looks unsettling. Like, how some people can't deal with a lot of holes in something- that's how looking at that thing makes me feel...

@0x44_ @richgel999 For a 15A single-pole branch circuit, you're not wrong:
15A*110V*0.8=1320W
15A*120V*0.8=1440W
A. 20A circuits are common (1.76-1.92KW cont.)
B. Double-pole multi-wire branch circuits, exist.
C. If one can switch to a gas range, gas dryer, or have an EV charge outlet; you're set.

@parr0ts @richgel999 Get a clothes line, use the Electric Dryer's receptacle. 🤣

@1337hero @richgel999 Every North American residence has 208V-240VAC 60hz service.
The electrician might be confused as to why you want an EV Charger, Range, Dryer, or Heat Pump outlet in such an odd spot but, it's an easy to overcome limitation.

We are on track to the golden age of PC gaming, all we need is for ram to become affordable again

@TechEpiphanyYT Real.
5600X3D came back at over $200, and it's being called a deal...

🚨 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D returns 🚨

In case you missed it, this 6-core CPU with 3D V-Cache has made a very quiet return to retail, and US users can buy one online now for $219.99.

Ideal budget CPU upgrade for AM4 motherboards, and it works with DDR4 RAM.

@HaphaxJames @wccftech It's a huge upgrade but, don't expect to get good performance from it. Both 5700X3D and 5800X3D in my Asus A320M-K do not sustain boost like even a cheap B550 board can. The VRMs are too weak and it'll throttle the chip to try and save the MOSFETs from catching fire or exploding.

[LabRat Knatz @LabRatKnatz]

@jnyboy Ah, so you manufacture eWaste. Got it.
I'm sure there's some hyper-important use cases where this is "good" but eFuse lock-in is one of the most abused toolsets major Chip Firms have ever handed to OEMs...

@Atkecar @Pirat_Nation To hype the next release in the series.
New features for older games often spur people to re-visit them, and keeps the setting in their mind as new title(s) in the series get released.

[LabRat Knatz @LabRatKnatz]

@MKULTRAMISH Define: "reasonable".
~$300 will get you a DDR3 'Quad-core era' machine w/ a pre-RDNA/RTX era GPU, tiny SATA SSD, and *maybe* a HDD for games. -still 'usable' but, I find it unreasonable things have gotten so bad.
Not long ago, ~$300 was a 6-8core AM4 build w/ a 1TB NVMe.

@pnwguerrilla I've had this happen more times than I can count...
'Data fusion' + 'radios as sensors' + phones' native sensor package, might be capable of Subvocal recognition or some kind of EEG-like capabilities? I wish it was irrational and 'tinfoil hat' but, alot of people report similar.
