I am finding it hard to come to terms with the power and thermal figures. The CPU draws 320watts and likes to operate at 100 degrees Celsius. The CPU uses adaptive boost technology to pull more power to get to the 100C temperature mark. Again, from the review, most enthusiast motherboards default to limits near 4096W of power and 512A of current.

Compared to house hold appliances, with 4000watts of power, you can run 3 microwaves (at 1200 watts), more than 5 refrigerators (at 800 watts), a reasonably sized central air conditioning unit (though 5KW models aren't that rare), etc.

These power and thermal figures make me wonder why Intel is not moving towards Apple's design philosophy behind the M1, M2, M3 series of chips.

From the article "AMD Spartan UltraScale+ samples and evaluation kits are expected to be available for sampling and evaluation in the first half of 2025." For hardware products, what is the point of making these announcements a year in advance? Are they available for select partners before 2025?

duckduckgo. It is getting better. I rarely need to fall back to a Google search. ChatGPT 4 is good at getting to the specific information that I am looking for and I can get the source links.

It is better for shops to just sell jute or cloth bags at retail price for carrying goods instead of allowing users to buy any type of plastic bag. This is how it is done in India in places where plastic is banned. Of course, customers can bring their own carry bags and avoid buying bags.

While 28 tonnes appears to be a lot of material for generating 1.2MW of energy, it compares favourably when you look at wind turbines. How often does this need maintenance though?

My rear view camera regularly gets covered with dirt and grime after a highway run during the monsoons. The car has both camera and radar so that I can have reliable assistance while reversing. With this experience in mind I fail to see how Tesla’s camera-only move is reliable for the use cases that they have mentioned.

I was on the fence about closing my account. This was a good motivator to actually do it. It is hard to understand who PayPal is trying to appease.

We use several hundred laptops from Dell that run Linux (Ubuntu & CentOS) as the primary developer laptop in our organisation. They work well. Of course every now and then some user comes up with an idea to uninstall default Python…

The whole OpenGL versus Metal situation doesn’t help in porting games to macOS. Also, Crossover ports no longer work. Getting a nice console has been my solution for gaming.

I just finished seeing the movie Sonic 2. Are you Dr. Robotnik by any chance?

Seriously though, the floppy drive is the icing on the cake. Great build.

What about security patches for the Pop _OS specific desktop components? The underlying Debian components are maintained elsewhere.
