Quote from: citral on December 19, 2025, 00:20:32Well for a start AMD drivers are miles ahead of intel, especially on Linux where a gaming and handheld oriented distro like bazzite doesn't work well at all on intel.

Who writes this articles?

Probably AI considering the quality.  This site is going to the gutter.

Lots of opinion, but no facts in this article.  As a writer you should be ashamed of yourself for printing such slop.  Where are the benchmarks to prove your point?  I want more than herp derp Intel better.

A hotrod spec Windows PC! It just works with everything games, both new and ancient, even if you need to resort to emulation and other hocus pocus. Well, to be sure, many people can't even manually program a toaster not to burn the toast but I digress. Thus the need for consoles, but who can be king?

None of them! Not one of them and for reasons that have not been revealed in this article. If you don't know why that is the case, well don't expect me to offer that information either, but I'll give you a tiny hint and bid you adieu:

Off Topic / Don't forget the "Connectivity...
Last post by KhoSim - Today at 02:50:26
Hi everyone,

I see many of you focusing heavily on RAM and OLED displays for your upcoming purchases, but as someone who travels for work, I want to highlight a feature often overlooked: Integrated LTE/5G modules.

If you are a freelancer or an entrepreneur, relying on public Wi-Fi is a massive security risk. I highly recommend looking for models with a WWAN slot. However, having the hardware is only half the battle. To truly be productive and secure, you need a reliable "Digital Identity" – a stable mobile connection with a dedicated business number.

Using a temporary or low-quality SIM for your professional 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) and data plans can lead to connectivity drops or even account lockouts when you're abroad. For those of you setting up a serious mobile office, I've found that investing in a high-quality communication foundation is essential. You can research professional connectivity options and digital identity resources at https://khosim.com/ to ensure your business line is as robust as your new laptop's hardware.

My tip: Before buying, check if the laptop is "WWAN Ready" (antennas pre-installed) even if it doesn't come with the card, so you can upgrade easily later!

What's your take? Do you prefer tethering from your phone or having a dedicated SIM in your notebook?

Project Helix may have more in common with the Steam Machine than the PS6. A popular industry consultant argues that to top Valve's system, the new Xbox console must target more than PC gamers. Xbox exclusive games would provide platform-specific alternatives to the massive Steam library.

The new MacBook Air 13 gets the blazing fast M5-SoC, twice the storage as well as Wi-Fi 7 for $1,099. We review the entry-level model with the 8-core GPU, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, which is the best choice for most users.

Good post.
Indeed, it highlights one of the biggest drawbacks of traditional hosting services: the inability to hotlink, and the slowness caused by having to open a full page just to view a single file.

PS: In addition to the POMF alternatives, given its recent outage, I would add Luniatix .site for temporary files and Soliatix .site for permanent files. Both have a maximum size of 300 MB.

Quote from: dumb_oems on Yesterday at 18:30:51I don't want to buy a new laptop every 2-3 years or worry that my taskbar or tab bar is static - which it is a lot of the time.

I think this may have been a problem with earlier oled displays but is largely mitigated now through modern software improvements (e.g. moving/shifting pixels every now and then and screen savers). You have to like run display running permanently a fixed picture 24/7 365 for years with all safety features disabled for this to happen.
This. And... at max brightness! I doubt that many people will run this all the time at 100%, so 500 nits (well, 504.6). Tone that down to normal 170-250 when indoors and there is no fear of burn in any time soon.

Anthropic has become the first American company to be designated as a supply chain risk to U.S. national security following its rift with the U.S. Department of Defense (also known as the Department of War).
