Exactly, users don't want to throw their phones after 4 years, but if google don't provide security updates of current software, how could they be reused as a storage cloud?
Its becomes like a public FTP server with anonymous uploads of old?
Absolute greenwashing silly project without continuous software support available.
Power 11 is architecturally identical to Power 10, manufactured in the same process as Power 10, is Power 10 with a new firmware.
It has the same AI acceleration as Power10 and the new feature touted is a collaboration to port software to Power.
The Spyre PCI card is the mainframe derived accelerator. lets see if ISV will leverage that capability.
Unfortunately the max BW per PCI port is 8 lane PCIe G5, same as P10.
You could be forgiven to believe it is a marketing stunt. :)
it is strange that Oracle 23ai capabilities such as OLLAMA requires GPU for speed, but neither exadata, nor ODA comes with GPU.
The preview packaged version Oracle 23ai virtual box image also does not support GPU forwarding making it very cumbersome to use AI with 23ai without an official on prem release.
1. Most "desktops" are laptops these days, and Linux can struggle with graphics drivers, wifi, sleep as well as deprecation.
2. If you need only a web browser, yes Linux can be an option for "desktop" usage.
3. It is still tinkarooland and finicky hunt for packages depending specific needs outside "firefox".
Most LVM:s can do it.
Spectrum Scale can do it..
Very handy for moving underlying storage while the application is up and running.
I remember being so frustrated when Sun announced ZFS, I felt they already had a much better FS in the form of SAM-QFS.
ZFS might be great for NAS boxes, but at the time we used Sun machines for active/active enterprise applications stored on SAN.
You need to upgrade your AX210 to BE200 to enjoy Wifi 7. AS210 is only Wifi 6E.
Intel makes the BE200 an E-keyed card while many older laptops use A-keyed socket.
AX210 uses an A+E card which has broad compatibility with both A and E keyed laptops.
Many modern devices, that use AX210, unfortunately have soldered them down, hence making upgrades impossible.
This leaves a narrow band of machines that can make use of BE200. On the thinkpad line we have:
P1 Gen 1, X1 Extreme Gen 1 (Not Gen 2 onwards)
P52, P53
(Not the P15/17 Gen 1, CNvIO only)
P15/P17 Gen 2
P16 and newer are soldered.
Some other thinkpad lines like certain L-series might also be new enough to use E-sockets without soldering.
In Sun terminology it started with SPARC, then SuperSPARC, microSPARC, TurboSPARC, HyperSPARC and UltraSPARC.
After Ultra they smarted smoking "Rock" and when Terminator 2 could not save them, despite a M rebranding, it headed south. Lets hope the historry does not repeat for Intel.
One thing that instantly ticks me off, after 5.27 versions of KDE, they still can't get the number of processor right in the about page (first screenshot).
I would love to have a machine with 2x-i7-2640M CPU:s. That be something of a franken-machine.
Somehow I don't think QT 6.0 will fix the buggy KDE codebase.
Maybe the GitLab can agree with Web Archive/Wayback Machine to donate a frontend to off-load dormant code over there?
Win/Win..
I also fail to understand why "dormant" source code data would be expensive to maintan for GitLab. How do you attract project when there is a doubt about the longevity.
Lenovo has a rather confusing lineup of machines, although for some time, there has been a slim variant of the workstation line denoted with an "s" which basically is a T-series with Quadro graphics.
Inadvertently, you have shared the specification of the P16s, not the upcoming P16, which will have up to Nvidia A5500 16GB dedicated GPU, NOT Intel Xe as standard, with an optional T550. Of course the P16 will also feature a 4k+ display option, not to mention the OLED Touch option with pen support shared in the press release.
If you write an article based on a press release, why not read it first?
"CFO Luka Mucic said at the time that the cloud model would increase customer lifetime revenue. "We are effectively expanding our share of the wallet," he told investors."
....
Saueressig (Product Engineering) meanwhile "committed to the total cost of ownership being lower in the cloud than comparable current payments."
CFO claims this will make SAP more money, Engineering, what wait a minute..
game over.
I thought most/all software you download is 100% CPU specific? (ie binary?)
Apple has a pretty poor track record of backwards compatibility, even dropping 32 bit intel support in the latest macOS, cost saving blunder. they could also have kept rosetta alive still. Maybe isolating those apps in container like technology to minimize security risks.
Most macOS specific software runs slower than under windows.
MacOS only supports AMD GPU:s.
Hence in this light moving to Arm might not matter much, because performance sensitive customer workloads would have used Windows anyway.
