Come on Ampere. Get those chips and boards out to us quickly. I am dying to get my hands on one. I am 99 percent sure I am going to be getting the 15 inch surface laptop with 64gb of ram early next year. They should have all the software kinks worked out by then. Then MS needs to let Apere's cores rip in windows. right now there is a core limit in ARM based windows. Once that is fixed I will replace my current workstation with one of those beasts.

I thought it was ALL Microsoft's fault. Now, they promise to fix SOME of the issues after the next update. Seems to me AMD is the issue and using windows as the excuse. Seems they pull the ole "over promise/under deliver" routine. I love how they try to lay blame on intel. Nice marketing team there AMD. ha ha ha. AMD sheds light on why Ryzen 9000 chips disappointed some reviewers | Windows Central

I always thought those were cool cars. Anything done or completely stock?

Could be a jeep, VW or bmw product. They all have coil packs and spark plugs. My audi has nice red coil packs on top of it's plugs. Look legit. ha ha.

We like to travel, so eating at other place is sometimes the only option. I have a new app on my phone called find me gluten free. It's an invalulable tool for me now. I know where I can safely eat. Most times its not fast food. THe only fast food place I can eat locally is Dairy Queen, even then I have to order it without a bun and use my own.

I have been watching everything going into my body since this happened. So I started dabbling with resturants since my son loves McDs nuggets. We went to the M in Walmart here, I ordered a 1/4 pounder with no bun and a fries. 12hrs later a breakout. Went to the pizza place where I started having my massive outbreaks, and ordered their gluten free cauliflower crust pizza...bang...10 hrs later breakout....Seems people don't understand when I tell them I have a severe wheat allergy and my food cannot touch any flour, buns etc. They assured me it was cleaned off....NOPE. The McDs, in the mall here does not have enough frier space to have a separate fryer for Gluten free people. So, my fries were cooked in the same fryer as the nuggets, mcchickens etc. I am basically playing Russian roulette when I go out to eat now. Thank god I have my overland refrigerator so I can keep everything I need to eat fresh when we travel. I know of 3 places I can eat without worry while on the road.

I think you should reconsider. I have yet to see a crappy lens made by Olympus/OM. I have used many lenses from different companies and Oly never had a bad one. Even their kit lenes are awesome.

The states are colder now. No such thing as climate change. SMDH. I keep track of the area of florida where I had the house down there, and the temps up here this summer were hotter. I have had mini split heat pumps for the past 5 years and it's the best investment I have made to our house. Heat in the winter to drop our power bills by 2/3s and AC in the summer to keep our house beer cooler cold! Worth every penny.

Careful it's a slippery slope. Next up you will be doing supercharger installs etc. ha ha. That's what happened to me. At 10 I started tinkering with my ATV's and snowmobiles. By 14, I was tuing my clutches and gearing etc. By 20 I was building JDM hotrods to blow the doors of the "fast" mustangs, cameros etc. They used to say there is no replacement for displacement, I said sure there is knowledge and forced induction. ha ha.

100 percent. This happened to a family friend working at Walmart here. She had been there for years, worked her way up to getting those benefits, and boom. Fired her. Next week, an ad looking for workers. They should be held accountable. My part time workplace is the opposite, I get full benefits, retirement plans, paid time off, flexibility and I work 18-20 hours a week there. I make quite a bit more than someone working at walmart, CDN tire, and other jobs as well. I worked 40 plus hours a week at a hardware store. They hired me for inside the store service, but go on deliveries as needed. They fired a warehouse worker so I was doing two jobs all day at that point, getting paid for 1/2 a job. Now, I make 3 times as much, 1/2 the hours at work and the heaviest thing I lift is an ipad.

What phone are you daily driving currently?
kojack replied to Katja's topic in Mobile Devices & Gadgets
This is the first time (since my 1020), that after 8 months of use, I still love my phone as much as the day I bought it. I have a new flip 6 for work, but I am not feeling it as much as my P8P. The new design of the 9s are awesome but I am hanging on to my 8 pro for 3 or 4 years before getting a new one. -
Latest purchase was a 20ft flat deck trailer to transport sheds and other items I build and sell. I am sick of having to rely on other people to move the finished products for me. she's rough to look at but will get the job done
-
Agreed 100 percent. I would go ARM before what AMD is offering. Arm desktop systems from Ampere are insane. SUPER FAST. I am just waiting for them to hit the mainstream. 1 or 2 years.

bah ha ha ha. AMD, 56% better in blender. NOPE. Not a chance! They are saying these new chips destroy the threadrippers? ha ha. sure. Threadripper for multicore processes are beasts, however, in most software packages the i9 14900k is more performant than the 64core TR7980x. No way this failure of a processor is better than the TR series.

When I went through this, it was in the middle of the price hikes on video cards. I got my XPS for a little more than the price of just the video card. Not sure if this is still the case or not. But I did notice the XPS now is not near as good as mine. only two mem slots, less space for extra drives etc. I think I bought at the right time.

Can a tablet replace an office laptop ? My journey.
kojack replied to Bullit's topic in Mobile Devices & Gadgets
Asus had the best idea back in the day. The padfone. A phone that docks into the tablet to run, then attach a keyboard and have a quasi laptop with pen etc all included. They should have stayed on that path IMO. Imagine how awesome a current technology version of this would be. Microsoft missed the mark as well. -
I guess ole Steve the AMD fanboy is eating a bit of crow here now. At least 80 percent of his videos crap on intel, however, time and time again intel is faster. I am not an intel fanboy, but I like using the fastest processors for my work.
-
Intel's 14th gen chips are much faster than AMDs for creative work, by a large margin too. The 14th gen i9 is faster than that threadrippers for video and photo work.
-
I am not a fan of intel's business practices right now, but I love how everyone piles on if they have the slightest issue with a chip, meanwhile, looking back through the threads, NOBODY piled on AMD for having burning chips last year with their 7000 series. Why is that I wonder? AMD Ryzen 7000 Overheating Issues: Culprit Found in EXPO & SoC Voltages (update) (guru3d.com)
-
Holy crap, steve likes to talk. I can't watch his videos. just rambling on without punctuation or cadence. blah blah blah. He needs to up his delivery game. Slow down, take a breath and relax a bit. The bigger story is how intel cleaned house and laid off 15,000 people to "save money". That's what pisses me off, not a design flaw in a chip that will be RMA'ed if you have a failure. Those 15,000 people will not be RMA'ed and their livelihoods saved.

how so? can you explain further? even via pm?

Acer AC100 mini server upgrade/mods. Should be interesting
kojack replied to kojack's topic in Desktop Hardware
Not yet. Everything is on hold, even my basement renovation. I have sheds backed up I need to get built so any free time I have I am driving nails. Every day until dark after I get off work from the store. BEAT! I would say my little server will be worked on in the fall when my time is less stretched. hang in there, I will be posting when I order all the crap for it. I haven't had time to poop, let alone work on my own stuff.
