  1. Introducing 12th Gen Intel Core Mobile Processors (guru3d.com)
  2. Intel: 12th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor Family Additions and New Platform Options (guru3d.com)
  3. AMD at CES 2022: Roadmap to Zen 4 and AM5, Ryzen gets V-Cache, Ryzen 6000 mobile, more WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Let’s kick this off with a look at AMD’s desktop announcements and if you’re a CPU enthusiast then the big one for you will be the Ryzen... Love the competition AMD is bringing these days!
  4. Fermi paradox applied to multiverse... Multiverse isn't something I follow much even though I would say astronomy is a hobby like interest of mine, it's just too speculative to be all that interesting; but as I understand it other universes wouldn't necessarily have the same fundamental rules. Something like atomic forces being ever so slightly different from ours would result in a universe that probably wouldn't even form general elements so the Fermi paradox probably wouldn't really apply. Well not only that but the Fermi paradox asks why we haven't found other life yet, and for any life in another universe, that's definitely why we haven't found it... being in another universe and all. There is an interesting podcast I listened to a while back with Edward Snowden and he talked about how alien life could easily use cosmic background noise to hide interstellar signals and the encryption would be so strong we'd never find it. It's also possible there is life out there and they have some kind of interstellar government (or federation perhaps) that has rules about avoiding contact with less advanced worlds like ours. Then again one of the aspects of the Fermi paradox is that life can be common but just never lasts that long. Perhaps in nature, anytime a species evolves intelligence they end up eventually consuming all the resources on their planet or just don't last for various other reasons, maybe viruses. The way things are going on our world, it doesn't seem far fetched at all that our species may not last too long.
  5. I've always used Newegg for laptop deals. They have a huge selection of refurbished laptops. Mostly ones that probably had a hard drive initially and are being resold with SSD upgrades. Idk if Newegg is in Egypt, but perhaps if he finds something there you can help get it shipped to him.
  6. This kind of stuff is why AMD is outselling Intel despite the performance difference. First gen adoption issues are a factor for sure, but tech people definitely follow the market and see which company is trying to do right by their customers. Intel has hardly ever been in that category. Now that AMD has good performance, brand loyalty is a huge factor and Intel is lacking.
  7. What happened to the screen? In most cases, replacing the screen is simple. What's the model number of your laptop?
  8. Macrium is definitely the way to go. It does everything the other paid programs do, has a clean interface, and works extremely well.
  9. Most laptop screens are really easy to replace. Sorry if I missed something by skimming the thread but if all he needs is a new screen, that's easy. Just post the model number and I'll post a replacement screen.
  10. It's just the screen? What's the laptop model number?
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/nasa-s-new-space-telescope-hunky-dory-after-problems-fixed/ar-AASo9gJ?ocid=ARWLCHR&PC=EMMX01 Looks like the sun shield is working properly.
  12. I planned my last upgrade around DDR5. I decided to do my most recent upgrade to a 16 thread CPU on DDR4 when I did because I didn't want to be an early adopter for DDR5. I planned around this well over a year ago. I wonder how many others had similar upgrade strategies.
  13. Macrium reflect. Works great for cloning, pretty easy to use. You can resize partitions in windows when you're done if you need to make any of them bigger because the new drives are bigger. Windows has no problem making a partition bigger. Macrium Software | Reflect Free Edition WWW.MACRIUM.COM Macrium Reflect Free allows you to back up your entire computer and schedule backups. For a free...
  14. NASA: Webb's precision launch, correction maneuvers will significantly extend 10-year lifetime WWW.TECHSPOT.COM The observatory should now have enough propellant to support science operations well past its 10-year... Apparently the launch had gone so well so far that the telescope has extra fuel now, and can thus last longer.
  15. FYI, this is just FSR at the gpu control panel level so it can be used for any game, but it's actually slightly worse than FSR because it won't be able to avoid scaling over hud elements.
  16. Ubisoft recently started adding NFTs into their games as well. These things are infecting the gaming community like... some kind of virus.
  17. Looks good but I wonder how it will scale on mobile. Putting the thread title and the "started by" on the same line could cause issues.
  18. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/new-tech-could-mean-85-fewer-transistors-with-new-adaptive-transistor-technology-in-gpus-and-cpus.html The technical parts of this are way over my head, but it sounds like it could bring some major performance gains down the road if this tech can be used at scale effectively.
  19. https://technosports.co.in/2021/12/26/heres-the-new-passmark-benchmark-score-of-amds-ryzen-threadripper-pro-3995wx-64-core-cpus/?amp But can it run...
  20. Updated info, this video has a good explanation of the overall mission plan:
  21. Already posted: https://forums.extremehw.net/topic/1718-first-pcie-50-ssds-from-adata-and-samsung-are-on-the-way/#comment-20180
  22. The first PCIe 5.0 SSDs from Adata and Samsung are on the way WWW.TECHSPOT.COM The upcoming CES is showing even more signs of becoming a full-on virtual event, with several big... And here I am with my humble 3200mbs SSD that I thought was pretty fast...
  23. Gentle trolling.. dude is directly and seriously rude to me over the tiniest things. Anyway here is a pic from my phone. I'll take a pic from my computer later on. It's worse on mobile but an issue either way.
