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.
The graphing portion of the calculator IS NOT open source, quite hilarious when you think about it.
"To that end, the UI from the official in-box Windows Calculator is currently part of this repository, although the proprietary Microsoft-built graphing engine, which also drives graphing in Microsoft Mathematics and OneNote, is not. Community members can still be involved in the creation of the UI, however developer builds will not have graphing functionality due to the use of a mock implementation of the engine built on top of a common graphing API."
"With my 9month pregnant wife in our car breaking down in the boondocks I was able to determine we needed a new starter motor."
Presumably the engine was running at the time hence I fail to see how the starter could be the reason for the break down unless it doubled as a generator?
I watched the keynote.
Arcade with boring games at 4.99 and TV+ at 4.99, enough to cause a stir, unlikely cheap for apple offerings.
iPhone 11, Chinese looking lady talking excitedly, I liked her, she was likable somehow and demoing a new Chinese game that uses the GPU that you will be able to pre-order next month. A clear push to get iphone 11 into Chinese market.
iPhone 11 pro, American fella talking how PRO it is.. A clear hint that a true American should buy iPhone 11 pro.
Since all these offerings use the EXACT same dimensions and tooling as Xr, Xs, XS max I can see why Johnny Ives resigned. Absolutely NO update on the design front compared to last year. Only a new camera module and CPU.
The Xr got up to iPhone 8+ standard as it should have been from the start. Xr and 8 retained in the lineup but with a new gimped 128GB memory capacity as maximum size.
For me the standout is the wath always on display, (another given for a wathc you might think) and iphone 11. The pro model is just not for me as I am not into gaming. Unlike TheRegister, the ability to use both/all cameras at the same time, back and front will be a massive hit, is that also available on iPhone 8?!
Technology updates was fine, but ZERO deign updates. The Xr/Iphone 11 is still to thick/fat, then new iPad also looks too fat. The pro models are heavy.
Vinyl is an inferior transfer technology, and hence will not allow to much volume compression or the needle will skip. Hence even for contemporary music, Vinyl has a sonic advantage in many cases since the master is not as brickwalled. (Google Loudness wars).
For all music up to 1994, I can guarnatee you ythat the original vinyl release will be far superior to any remaster or CD version.
There are inferior vinyl relesaes, mostly issues in different countries from bad tape copy or reissues..
I remember bying Diana Ross, Diana in the in the early 90-ties and the transfer was worse than 10 year aged casette with wrong Dolby setting.
AIX Features that have no common Linux equivalent.
Live OS upgrades
Active Memory Expansion (Inline memory compression)
Active Memory Sharing (connect swap device to hypervisor and let OS overcommit memory)
Memory De-duplication
Great Cohesive admin framework
ASO/DSO (automatically tune the operating system for the workload)
Workload Partitions
Suspend / Resume
Great Filesystem (JFS2) and volume manager
"ODM" as opposed to DevFS
Transactional Memory
Support for CPU embedded accelerators
Memory Protection Keys
etc..
etc..
