I know you don't like Linus :-) But this video is still good to see, I was interested in the design of Steamdeck myself. I'm still thinking whether to buy it or not, anyway it's sold out now, maybe for Christmas at the end of the year.

Facebook Threatens to Withdraw its Platform From Europe - tech
(hx) 06:57 PM CET - Feb,07 2022 - Post a comment / read (32)
Facebook has never had a particularly great relationship with its users. In fact, I know many people who are seemingly only one minor aggravating point away from quitting from it entirely. Following a report via via ITWire,, however, it seems that the social media platform may be considering taking that decision for them as an official legal filing by Facebook (well, technically Meta, but I’m never going to call them that!) has cited that the tech giant is considering a complete withdrawal of its platform in Europe. The reasons behind is that a recent ruling by European courts effectively blocked US authorities from having the right to collect personal data from EU citizens without their expressed consent. Why is this a problem? Well, not only does Facebook hold a lot of information about its users, but it also actively looks to collect more of it for the purpose of targeted advertising. You know, that whole business of you casually searching for a new pair of shoes then finding practically every website you visit crammed full of adverts for Ugs, Nike, Adidas, etc. (other shoe brands are available). Put simply, if the EU court doesn’t consider rescinding this action, Facebook is legitimately threatening to terminate its services within the region entirely!

If you want to hear my opinion, it is without any doubt a 100% empty threat. Facebook is already trying to reassure investors by effectively lying about the growth the platform has (not) achieved in recent years. The latest results with the stock down 25% will only confirm that I am telling the truth. I don't think Mr. Zuckerberg is exactly in a position to jump out of the box. Just effectively wiping out hundreds of millions of people over a dispute over targeted advertising makes literally no sense :-) It's similar to Biden's threats of sanctions on Russia. Biden just got Russia to start trading more with China instead of Europe now. I've never really commented much on any news here. However, the world is getting so crazy that I feel the need to write something about it from time to time. Because freedom, which is really very important to me in life, is disappearing. It has disappeared completely for Americans and unfortunately it is starting to spread to Europe where I live. Do you still feel that you can say whatever you want in this country without any sanctions? A lot of people here in the Czech Republic are now in trouble on Facebook, Instagram, they are being banned just for writing 5 years ago that someone is an asshole. Often it's not just a ban, but a complete deletion of the account without the person being able to do anything. And this brings me to what I started to write, maybe it wouldn't be better news if Facebook and Instagram and META's other networks disappeared from the world, I'm convinced we'd all be better off. That's it Mr. Zuckerberg, shut down Facebook in Europe! We don't need or want it then :-)

I guess this is interesting for recent generations, but heavy swap file use was just par for the course back in the 80s/90s when addressable memory was limited and few people could afford to purchase as much RAM as their system used.


Not counting ATARI 800XL, my first PC was PC XT 8088/4.77MHz 640K RAM 20MB HDD,FDD 5.25,MS DOS 2.0 and a Hercules monitor. I bought it in 1990 for about 45.000CZK, which at that time was the equivalent of fifteen yearly salaries. It's really unbelievable how far things have come in 30 years....

NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 511.32 WHQL - tech
(hx) 11:59 PM CET - Jan,27 2022 - Post a comment
A new card is due to launch today and with it a new set of updated Nvidia drivers that we’re going to summarise for you in the best way possible. If you’re wondering what GeForce Game Ready 511.32 WHQL has in store for you, check out all the changes below.

Gaming Technology

- Includes support for the GeForce RTX 3050

The GeForce Game Ready 511.32 WHQL driver update also comes bundled with the latest versions of some essential software that you are going to want to use if you have a graphics card. This can be ranging from GeForce Experience which houses a number of excellent features, all the way to new versions of CUDA and the Nvidia control panel, which gives you access to features such as DSR.
  • HD Audio Driver – 1.3.39.1
  • NVIDIA PhysX System Software – 9.21.0713
  • GeForce Experience – 3.24.0.123
  • CUDA – 11.6
  • DCH NVIDIA Control Panel – 8.1.961.0
GeForce RTX 3050 Released - tech
(hx) 11:46 PM CET - Jan,27 2022 - Post a comment / read (1)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 is a 250 USD entry-level model featuring GA106-160 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores. This SKU is equipped with 8GB GDDR6 memory attached to a 128-bit bus, clearly aiming at 1080p gamers. The RTX 3050 is yet another XX50-class model to launch with hardware acceleration for ray tracing, following the mobile RTX 3050 series (based on GA107 GPU) and later RTX 2050 (Turing). This model also comes with DLSS support, which can make this card a lot more compelling based on how many games already support this technology. One of the drawbacks of RTX 3050 is the limited PCIe Gen4 interface to eight lanes. It is said that NVIDIA might at some point decide to switch production to GA107 GPU, which would not support 16 lanes due to its hardware limitations. In terms of pricing, NVIDIA promises that at least some cards today are launching with an MSRP of 249 USD. However, even in NVIDIA supplied MSRP list, it seems that this pricing was rather forced upon board partners, who will be offering much more expensive cards at the same time.

Update: Just a few hours in and all RTX 3050 GPUs are out of stock from the select few retailers that are selling RTX 3050s in the United States. Even if you did manage to find a card in stock, there was a good chance it was priced well above Nvidia's baseline MSRP.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce 511.23 Game Ready Drivers - tech
(hx) 07:18 PM CET - Jan,16 2022 - Post a comment
NVIDIA today released the GeForce 511.23 WHQL drivers. These drivers introduce support for Windows 11 Dynamic Refresh Rate feature, and formally debut NVIDIA Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution (DLDSR). This is an interesting new feature that's an inverse of DLSS, and works to improve eye-candy of older games. Your game is rendered at a higher resolution than your display head, and the render is intelligently scaled down to enhance detail. Such a feature already existed with DSR, but DLDSR adds certain "smarts" by adjusting the higher render resolution on-the-fly, to improve performance. The drivers also add support for CUDA 11.6, even more OpenCL extensions, and a handful more Vulkan extensions, besides support for even more G-SYNC compatible displays. As a Game Ready driver, version 511.23 adds optimization for "God of War," including support for DLSS and Reflex; and "The Anacrusis." The fixes and known-issues list of this driver appears identical to that of the GeForce 511.17 drivers released earlier this week.
Game Ready for
  • God of War
  • The Anacrusis
  • Hitman III Year 2
Gaming Technology Supported
  • Includes support for NVIDIA DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution)
New Features and Other Changes
  • Added support for Windows 11 Dynamic Refresh Rate.
  • Added support for CUDA 11.6.
  • The NVIDIA OpenCL driver has added support for new provisional extension specifications released by Khronos.
  • Added new OpenCL compiler technology as an opt-in feature.
Fixed Issues in this Release
  • [Detroit Become Human]: Random stuttering/freezing occurs in the game. [3389250]
  • Flicker/disappearing text when 12-bit color is used [3358884]
  • [HDR][G-Sync]: Mouse pointer gets stuck after turning on HDR from the Windows Control Panel or after toggling G-Sync from the NVIDIA control panel. [200762998]
To work around, click the mouse (right or left button). The mouse cursor will be sluggish for a few seconds before returning to normal operation.

Intel i3-12100 Beats AMD Ryzen 3600 - tech
(hx) 10:58 PM CET - Jan,12 2022 - Post a comment / read (5)
Well, following the release of the first independent benchmark figures, it seems that this exceptionally price-friendly model is going to give AMD some stiff competition as following a report via TechSpot, it seemingly outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3600 in gaming by a margin of around 7-8%. The Intel i3-12100 is expected to retail for a price in the region of £125-£150. Compared to the circa £250 price tag of the 3600, therefore, while seemingly beating it in gaming performance, Intel also has the huge advantage here of being, roughly speaking, a whopping £100 less expensive.

NVIDIA announces GeForce RTX 3090Ti and RTX 3050 - tech
(hx) 09:35 AM CET - Jan,05 2022 - Post a comment / read (3)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti ships with 10752 CUDA cores and 24GB GDDR6X memory. It is NVIDIA’s first model to feature 21 Gbps 16Gb modules, which is part is the reason why this card has a higher TDP of 450W, over 100W more than the RTX 3090 model. It is also the first GPU to utilize a 16-pin power connector, which will hopefully become a standard that will replace standard 8-pin power connectors. The new flagship GPU has a boost clock of 1860 MHz unlocking nearly 40 TFLOPs of single-precision compute power, a compute performance not available to any NVIDIA Ampere GPU yet. NVIDIA was not ready to share the specs of this new card just yet, but promises to reveal more details later this month. NVIDIA is also launching its entry-level RTX 3050 GPU with 9 TFLOPS of single-precision compute power. This model is based on GA106-150 GPU with 2560 CUDA cores. It is equipped with 8GB GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit memory bus. NVIDIA announced that RTX 3050 will become available on January 27th with a suggested retail price of 249 USD. As with the previous entry level NVIDIA RTX 30-series card, the RTX 3050 does not come with a Founder's Edition model and will have to be purchased with one of NVIDIA's partners instead.While the RTX 3050 is set to become available for purchase on January 27th, high demand and the ongoing semiconductor shortages, are likely to make it extremely difficult to obtain one of these graphics cards. While NVIDIA is touting the RTX 3050 has an MSRP of $249 USD, given the high demand it may very well be even more difficult to obtain the RTX 3050 at those prices.

Amazon Alexa asked a 10-year old to perform a shocking TikTok challenge - tech
(hx) 09:40 PM CET - Dec,28 2021 - Post a comment / read (4)
If you are somewhat acquainted with TikTok and other social media platforms, you are probably aware of certain trendy (and often weird) challenges that go viral as they are performed and filmed by millions of users. One such dangerous act was the "outlet challenge" that broke out last year. In this, a person needed to plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, and then touch a penny to the exposed prongs Unfortunately, Amazon's Alexa picked it up while scouring the web and proposed this challenge to a 10-year-old kid, writes the child's mother, Kristin Livdahk, on Twitter. Alexa said: "Here’s something I found on the web. According to ourcommunitynow.com: The challenge is simple: plug in a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs"

The issue has now been fixed according to a statement the company offered to media outlet indy100:
Customer trust is at the center of everything we do and Alexa is designed to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information to customers. As soon as we became aware of this error, we took swift action to fix it.
However, incidents like these demonstrate the potential dangers of what non-curated aggregation of internet information can mean to users. Thankfully the child's parent was present close by or else the situation could have turned ugly.

This isn't really surprising: it's essentially a form of thermal paste, and thermal paste is better than a thermal pad. It would have been more interesting if you compared smearing an existing thick thermal paste, to this K5. Also there is the question of how it ages, does it dry and crack?
