It's not my primary gaming machine obviously, but I find you can play a surprising amount games on any halfway modern integrated graphics with settings turned down. I've even been using my small Surface Pro 7 for WoW from time to time.

Not sure people posting on HN have any advance knowledge. Seems like a rather pedestrian crowd.

Another thing about USB that I hate is that they keep changing all the old names with every revision, so manufacturers can sell the same old USB 3.0 port as the new hotness.

I'd say the issue is less the backwards compatibility, more the way marketing tries to obfuscate differences by constantly renaming everything. Also, IEEE 1394 (called FireWire by some brands) is very much a dead standard.

BobHoward posted:I'll put it this way: do you use any cloud hosted service? (like, say, the Something Awful forums?) Then you have been relying on Intel VT-d not having exploitable flaws, because major cloud hosting service providers rely on VT-d (among other things) to isolate instances from each other. All those CPU bugs of the past few years tell us that no, cloud instances aren't properly isolated from each other.

Ah yes, all the other totally secure Intel features were hacked (including their super secure Management Engine), but VT-d is clearly impenetrable.DrDork posted:True, but the point remains that unless you're living under a technological rock, you're already assuming those risks with basically anything else you're doing. To worry about the security concerns of physically connected devices via IOMMU by comparison is, perhaps, worrying about the wrong things. Worrying about the security of devices directly connected to your PC is absolutely something you should do. It's not superfluous, like double-spacing. Even regular USB devices can do a ton of harm.

Maybe don't buy Intel.

Does Paul actually know what they're talking about? All existing evidence points to "no", so I'm curious whether that post is accurate at all.

I really want to play with these racists, but can't stand to hear the actual words! What is the target market for this? Seems entirely useless.

Fauxtool posted:extremely good news. Not having a gpu might end up being fairly tolerable. I used one of those Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny systems with two 4k screens for a while, 6th generation CPU, the iGPU really wasn't powerful enough to run that satisfactorily. A video running on the second screen would noticeably lag when doing things on the first screen. But maybe the experience is better with newer CPUs and a full desktop-TDP.

gradenko_2000 posted:I get to see into the procurement side of things in my work and it's interesting that A. we're still buying up hundreds of workstations to meet scaling-up demand, B. Intel is still the brand to go to for these kinds of orders (I've never seen an AMD system in our offices) and C. at this point, the machines being bought are enterprise/prebuilt 10th gen i5's. That's a six-core/12-thread part that still turbos up to 3.2 GHz even with the T-model low-TDP variant. It's honestly a lot of CPU to be doling out for driving spreadsheets, and it's interesting to think about what the second-hand market is going to be like in a few years. Intel being able to deliver more units than AMD thanks to their older process alone should give them a leg up over AMD, even when Intel's CPUs are worse. There's also a ton of inertia with these things.
