Agreed, when i built my machine up i was amazed at how clean it looked. once you take the sata cables away and have a case with some nice cable management it looks showroom-ey I did cable it back up a bit by buying backplates for every single USB header on the board and the serial port header, but that's just me, i'm addicted to USB gadgets and won't use hubs on my good computers

Yeah for sure that poo poo's so weird. front is Just Fans (lian li lancool 205) as is the top It does have a couple drive bays down in the bottom bit, and i was thinking of doing a 2x1t raid stripe with sata drives just for a scratch disk, but then i thought about it and i can just get two nvme drives for a few bucks more and put them on a $20 pcie card and have the same thing but faster.

infernal machines posted:since this is general chipchat: what the gently caress is even happening here? what do you mean? intel ported the little/big core approach from mobile devices so they could up core count without actually having good fabs, as well as allowing people to run a 12th gen chip without needing a cooling pond. it's simple really

intel doesn’t have avx512 in their little cores, so you can either have little cores or avx512, but not both. intel is dumb.

ours made onedrive a requirement and started doing some weird thing where all our files are kinda on our laptop but really on onedrive and it takes forever to load things and its impossible to tell if files are getting synced properly and really easy to lose progress which is awesome

yeah we recently did the same. the option to have files always on device is greyed out so that’s going to be great when traveling someplace with sketchy internet

HR briefly outsourced the provisioning of new starters to some startup and picked some lovely extremely overpriced foldable as the only option for everyone, including devs. It was the price of a MacBook Pro or an ok thinkpad and 100x worse for actual work
