  • They still probably need a ton of customization and tuning at the driver level and beyond, which open source allows for.

    I am sure there is plenty of existing “super computer”-grade software in the wild already, but a majority of it probably needs quite a bit of hacking to get running smoothly on newer hardware configurations.

    As a matter of speculation, the engineers and scientists that build these things are probably hyper-picky about how some processes execute and need extreme flexibility.

    So, I would say it’s a combination of factors that make Linux a good choice.









  • It finally feels like recent microcode updates have improved RAM stability at and over 6000MHz. I was an early adopter of the 9950X3D with an X870E, and it’s been a slow and painful wait while stability issues were worked out over this last year. (Since I migrated to AMD with a 7950X3D, memory training has always been hit-or-miss. Usually a miss unless starting from cold boot.)

    Realistically, there isn’t a huge benefit for RAM speeds over 6000 for now, but I can say with confidence that AMD @ 6000 being the sweet spot may be finally in the past. Hopefully. Maybe. (I am running a Crucial 6400 64GB kit now with some tight timings and a mild overclock and it’s rock solid, but it was a long wait to get there.)



  • Could be as simple as a sensor. If there are other engine codes, that could mean a bigger issue. The obvious first steps are to check if the cat is actually still there or if wires to the sensors are damaged.

    Catalytic converters can last a long time unless combustion issues or other serious engine problems are ignored. TBH, catalytic converter codes are generally just a symptom of something else. So, do as detailed of an inspection as you can for any wiring damage or leaks. If you have any leaks, try your best to identify the kind of fluid it is. Maybe you can get a hint about what else is going on.

    Combustion control is horrendously complex, so it could be any number of things from bad spark plugs to a malfunction in the EGR system. Any information you can gather about the problem now may save you some time and money later.

    (I dunno if you know anything about cars, but I just covered the basics, just in case.)







  • I am curious about your view. Can you point to anything specific? We all know he made a big investment into Framework and he was a fanboi of that company for a while.

    There are some very real constraints around how LTT can review laptops now. Any promotional work (reviews, status updates, etc.) that LTT does for Framework is easily framed as such based on video context.

    I am genuinely curious about this and your point of view. Why? I am not a huge fan of deception or otherwise shady practices that would illegally harm competitors.



  • You didn’t answer a very specific question: Have you been to Chicago or do you live in Chicago?

    Understanding your perspective on a question is important to answering a question.

    Stop accusing others of deflection, when you are not giving supporting information. Now quit being defensive and answer any other questions people may have.
