  • That’s when you use the ports placed on the motherboard in a standard verical PC case, meaning the system uses integrated graphics for the visual output instead of deticated videocard. Videocards that are put into MB at 90° are horizontal, right, but in most office setups I handle they are rare nowadays. Videocards are almost exclusively installed when you handle 3d and content rendering in demanding apps, and for office and browser stuff they are too costy after the crypto price hike and in a sanctioned Russia.

    Nettops have horizontal motherboards tho.






  • Yep, it’s no more than a stress test for a robot to keep it’s balance in motion, coupled with some partnership and a nice PR showcase of what it can do in a humanized scenario that we meatbags can relate to.

    Moving stuff in a predictable fashion is easily done with forklift\suction cup robots on rails that can ride floors and climb shelves while being powered from the line 100% of time. Iirc Boston Dynamics did such robots too. Making robots carry stuff around on legs sounds like a c/crazyideas material.

    What they can do then though is use this amount of R&D to build a robot that does need all of that. From automatic surgery machines to rescue scouts and, yes, killbots. Both rough terrain and sensitive tasks need a self-regulating system to orchestrate the motion in all these motors right.



  • Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine’d in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.

    That’s just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.

    How many people even do CAD? Most users use Word\Excel\Browser of choice. That’s i3 of 12 gen Intel.

    I point out they hit the minority of users who are needed to be hit with that, those who produce weapons and propaganda, those who need advanced graphics to render stuff.

    ed: One can play popular multiplayer games with gen12 integrated Intel CPU or an according AMD chip alone.

    There aren’t many uses where discrete v-cards are needed now and where integrated won’t be enough. Machine learning, content editing, engineering and science, mostly. So besides making purchased v-cards less effective or useless, it aims at top consumers, industry, may it be media or production facilities, including MIC. Ah, and gamers, the most opressed minority.


  • In Premiere it’s great to generate captions. But I’m cautious since it:

    1. depends on their servers - they upload your stuff, manipulate it and bring it back;
    2. therefore it is 100% aligned with subscription model that is hell they practice for more than a dozen of years now;
    3. makes you always online and always on the latest version to keep being competitive, even if you dislike certain changes they introduced.

    In a sense, it’s the missing brick in their DRM wall that ties it all together. Not their content stocks, nor their cloud stuff felt that natural of an obstacle. And while it’s small now, I think they’d only make the difference between (allegedly) pirates and their always online customers bigger. Like, the next thing they’d gonna do is make healing brushes in every editor a server-only tool scrapping the pretty great local version they have now.
