Sure the threat model is different, I’m just saying it’s still a single point of failure.

I mean yes, but currently they’re all dependent on Windows, so its less of centralizing OSes, and more changing what its centralized on.

Yikes that’s almost as bad.

Oh interesting! I was reading something recently that said MS had clarified that it was for businesses only, but that must have been an old article.

When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

This isnt available to individuals anyhow, only to schools and businesses.

Yikes.

Good point. Though, the vast majority of ML training and use is tensor math on floating points, so largely dot and cross products, among other matrix operations.

I think you’re thinking of the famous fast inverse square root algorithm from Quake.

With respect to the top comment, the only reason 3d graphics are possible (even at 850W of power consumption) is due to taking a bunch of shortcuts and approximations like culling of polygons. If its a reasonable shortcut it either has or will be taken.

Yeah if that’s not on-brand for Intel, I don’t know what is! I wonder what the max power draw for the 14900H is, it’s gotta be close 😂

The most confusing thing is that “200V” isnt a CPU, it’s the equivalent of “15th gen”.

The numbers before the V are un-parseable, but at least for the actual parts it’s a “Ultra 7 236.1425926V” or something

Technically changed two letters. Thats what makes them innovator auteur geniuses.

Oh my god if you are a new user please do not go straight to Arch or Manjaro. By far the two distros most likely to breaky irreparably.

Helium is tiny, and will diffuse though pretty much anything other than continuous welded metal pipe very very quickly. The elastomer seals on a phone would slow it down slightly, but the article’s from 2018, before so many phones were watertight. I remember my old iPhone had a little piezo cooling fan in one of the grates on the bottom, so helium would have no trouble at all.

Can’t speak for MEMS specifically, but it absolutely can make chips shut down whole instruments by changing their properties. It intercalates slower, but has much the same effect once it’s in there.

Yup. Most of the mems devices will essentially shut down the device if they go out of tolerance. This is a pretty common-knowledge fact among folks who work with large magnets, or with helium or hydrogen gas.

Funnily enough, it also happens with equipment microcontrollers which are unlikely to have a MEMS unit in them – for instance, any benchtop centrifuge made after the mid-90s will shut down, and I’m pretty sure those are still on quartz clocks. It also effects things like on-chip thermometers.

I’m guessing that’s a mini-ITX? Yeah I can forgive a case which is highly optimized for small form factor, but this case is if anything the opposite.

For a $240 case, no review is going to make me want to buy it, but god is it funny to watch Steve’s frustration with it.
