Were it not for actual Trump, wannabe Trump was on track to win. It won’t take long for that to come back

Didn’t elect their own Trump wannabe yet.

Fascism is on the rise globally, so we must all be vigilant. There are enough warning signs that Canada could be just around the corner.

They were named pent-ium because they were 586. Of course, the name lasted a lot longer than the technical reasons.

The Pentium Pro was i686.

Without exception, whenever someone is looking for “free speech”, this applies:

The issue is that, while x265 is more efficient, it’s not THAT much more efficient until you get to 4k or high bitrates. Encoders using x265 tend to be overly focused on file size, and prioritize it over video quality. And that sort of makes sense - x265 needs a lot more decoding power, and excludes a lot of otherwise capable devices. Why would you do that to only save a small percentage of the space needed?

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

What did those poor cables do to you to get the Liam Neeson treatment?
