in theory you'd need a 16x 3.0 interface to handle a dual 40gbe adapter and that could be cut down to an 8x on 4.0 but yeah most nvmes can't even saturate a 8x 3.0 interface pcie 4 is more of a futureproofing thing and only has edge case needs for now so who cares the hardware will be EoL by the time it matters for most people

nope, pretty much all of the ones on the market right now top out a ~48gbps sequential IO on a 64gbps 8x interface. I think the controller is the limiting factor.

OS9 breaks compatibility with too many After Dark screensaver modules since they removed support for compressed resources.

they make the best $200 phone and $250 tablet by far

not really any reason to buy the more expensive versions of Apple things when the cheap/old stuff is better

anything with anroid/windows on it is automatically trash

can I buy the stand alone to upgrade my current monitors stand?

Granite Octopus
Jun 24, 2008

I'll buy a stand and put it in my foyer because it's a piece of art and I want to appreciate its beauty every day.

e: enough about this loving stand who gives a poo poo, its not for any of us. there was so much other cool stuff announced.

separating out iPadOs, even if its mostly for marketing purposes right now, is a great move. seems it has already encouraged a whole bunch of development in features that they no longer have to worry about porting to the phone. text selection and editing always feels like the clunkiest thing on a touch screen so hopefully these improvements go a long way to making it a more productive device when you dont have a physical keyboard connected.

oh and loving first party SMB support? USB filesystems? great stuff!

sidecar looks neat and might cover a bunch of people needs for a cintiq-type device. hopefully its not reserved for the latest iPad pros/pencil 2s tho.

I’m wondering if the 1650 in the XPS 15 will be enough oomph for Skyrim and SimSoviet or if I’d be better off getting one of the (admittedly shameful but quite well-reviewed) 15” G7s with a 1660Ti or even a 2060?

what the hell are you people talking about? the company wants to spend $6k giving me garbage? gently caress that i'll take actually good poo poo instead. fine i'll figure out a way to make it $6k instead.

if you guys think apple scamming apple fans is worth scamming companies too i guess that makes more sense anyway
