Are you sure? I know the successor the T420 supports disabling the graphics. I dont think my 410 ever had it though. It’s under display settings in the bios. Not sure about dell though, they might not have had it.
Lenovo’s bios simulator sadly only goes as old as the T530. But it’s config > display > graphics device.
Replacement? They normally do both face scan and check some sort of ID.
Oh trust me, I know pretty quickly when that 3080 turns on and when it turns back off. Hybrid graphics is what I’ve been fiddling with the most.
So far I’ve been playing with Linux on my old work laptop and they’ve been playing together nicely. Almost everything else about the laptop? No. But hey at least graphics works.
Why not just fix the algorithm so you don’t get spammed with those posts? Limit posts from one community to 1 or 2 per page so it’s at least spread out.
It’s kind of a growing pain issue honestly. As lemmy grows and more people post in more communities it shouldn’t be as much of a problem. I don’t know if self regulation like that will really affect the serial posters though.
For mid range GPUs maybe. But CPUs and high end GPUs aboslutely had an improvement.
Ryzen 9000 series and Intels Core 200 series didn’t really up performance too much, but they did reduce power consumption by a good bit. But the 9800x3d CPU is an absolute beast. https://gamersnexus.net/cpus/rip-intel-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-cpu-review-benchmarks-vs-7800x3d-285k-14900k-more
If you only have one M.2 slot then M.2 to USB adapters are stupid cheap and infinitely useful as a fast AF flash drive.
If your drive is sata then those are also cheap and the same applies, just not quite as fast.
CPU: intel 7th gen or earlier.
I doubt companies will be flooding markets with anything. 7th gen devices came out almost a decade ago (yes it’s almost been that long since 2016) and most companies only keep computers for 3-5 years max.
That rams not gonna use itself.
USB 2.0 will do 480Mbps. Most audio streaming services are no more than 320Kbps. USB 2.0 is plenty fast. But USB audio is probably only there for iPods and iPhones, android devices don’t typically work with them. There should also be an aux port. If your phone doesn’t have one you can buy an adapter for less than $10 typically.
The tiredness is probably more due to the truck being more comfortable. A well adjusted seat with good lumbar support (and good posture) will do wonders. I’ve driven 4+ hours without stopping numerous times. As long as my ass is comfy I’m good.
You could replace the caps if you wanted to keep that board around. Through hole caps are SUPER easy to replace. Just spend some time identifying the specs of all of the blown ones. The replace all of them (including the non blown ones) as long as they’re all the same manufacturer. I used to do this to old machines and it’s honestly quite fun.
Otherwise if you wanted a retro machine I think those machines are still getting thrown out. But maybe they’ve already reached the bottom of their value curve and are starting to go up. I’ve seen some whack ass prices.
Yes ATX is a standard. That said airflow and build ability have dramatically changed in the last 20 years. I would probably find a new one.
Yes ATX is a standard.
Depending on what you’re going for it would be cheaper to buy just a whole ass PC. Used office PCs or ancient gamer computers can be pretty cheap.
Honestly I’d keep it for playing older games if that’s your jam. Then find something new because you wouldn’t want to reuse almost any of it.
With no real GPU you’re gonna be limited to like DVD playback at best.
Apple being Apple, the answer is probably yes. But realistically there’s going to be some stupid hurdle in the way and because they make it a PITA nobody’s really going to do it.
Which really sucks because the massive GPU and “unified memory” is incredible when they work in conjunction.
My question is: Where does this magic cable go?
Into the ISP’s modem on the side of your house. From there to a box along the street, and from there miles away to either another hop, or the datacenter in your local area.
Serial communication is typically much easier to manage than parallel. In parallel all existing tasks need to be completed before the next task can start.
Can their routers see the packets sent by my router, similar to ethernet?
The data is routed, and if you don’t need to send the data to you the router is not going to send it to you. The same thing applies to a switch on your local ethernet. But you only really see your traffic and any broadcasts. You don’t normally see Device A talking to Device B.
That’s great if you’re in the mindset of “just wipe and reload it’s not a problem” But most people who aren’t chronic computer users aren’t like that. Spending 2+ hours resetting up their computer to be just like it was isn’t fun to most people.
I was going to say why is this news now? This was a big thing at the end of 2023. Like they even mentioend it in the article.
The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice
With a good mounting mechanism that’s normally not a problem.
But between Intels classic plastic clips that never go in, and AMD’s unbendable steel beam that never wants to clip It’s pretty fucking dangerous for both you and the components.
Noctua’s mounting system is pretty good. It’s a little awkward aiming the screws into position but MUCH easier than almost any other system I’ve used.
less dust accumulation during PC assembly.
Is that really that much of a problem?
It is an option to play around. But for audio production you really don’t want to be trying to use a VM unless you’re fiddling with USB passthrough (which is a pain). Audio latency on Windows is bad enough, adding Linux’s on top is awful.
