Sometimes It_Just_Works.™️

While this isn't a sale I wanted to share this vid here as the Lancool 217 is currently the top competitor for both thermals and price!

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP):

• $80 USD / ~$110 CAD (Before shipping and tax)
  (the 110 is an approximate as the import/duty fees will create a price difference)

Canadian Listings

• Dark Blue Variant
  • TBA (Will update here as soon as they're available)
• White Variant
  • TBA (Will update here as soon as they're available)

American Listings

• Dark Blue Variant
  • $79.98 USD (As of Oct 4, 2024)
• White Variant
  • $84.99 USD (As of Oct 4, 2024)

Just got back from a long but enjoyable day as I've convinced yet another to escape Windows and join Linux

Hopefully they should feel more comfortable with building their own computer and using Linux in general as I went through the entire process with them; from having them insert their new CPU all the way to boot switching between Linux and Windows 10 via ~~BIOS~~ UEFI

They've got a few proprietary requirements remaining (hence the dual boot) but 95% of their apps are now on PopOS (they're planning to switch to Arch in about 3-4 months after some certain conditions are met)

Just wanted to share this as I've missed posting on the fedicomms and also wanted to provide an update for afking🤗

Anyways here's another to Windows's death ~~knell~~ null!🎉

GN got a chance to document and tour around Intel's new Arizona wafer fab🎥🤔

I'd also recommend checking out Asianometry's channel for additional details on the semiconductor manufacturing process

🥳new vid!🥳

[@[email protected]'s recent post](https://lemmy.zip/post/22973459) gave me a couple of thoughts that I'd like to share;

Preface

Current Context (as of Sept 18, 2024): AMD's Reprioritization of Data Center Clients Over Laptop OEMs

If AMD were to upgrade the consumer class to server class via their CPU feature-set expansion and partnerships, they'd have a higher likelihood of acquiring new developers to focus and develop AMD's drivers (esp on the Linux side; pending native support for developers) which could create a positive-feedback-loop for both AMD and the Linux community:

• better Linux support on AMD = higher probability of adding new AMD Linux Devs
  • more AMD Linux devs providing improved Linux desktop experience = more Windows and macOS users jumping ship who would then also help improve AMD Linux desktop exp
    • (while writing, this made me think of SC2's Protoss Katamri Deathball)

With AMD's current decisions I see:

• AMD's laptop market shrinking; leaving competitiors to fill in for AMD's departure/vacancy.
• Desktop PC users gaining a higher competitive advantage as performance headroom increases due to AMD's pairing of CPUs with server-grade features with enthusiast mobos

As a knock-on effect users would become more able to start new tech businesses powered by AMD components as self-hosting becomes more accessible via the AMD Linux relationship in addition to NVIDIA's albeit small but increasingly competitive strategies to enter the FOSS competition

• FOSS startups are in an interesting position as the increase in competition from both AMD and NVIDIA in the Linux space is likely to simutaneously:
  • increase capital expenditures(startup costs) due to expanded mobo and CPU feature-sets (in context to the Linux ecosystem) but
  • also decrease long-term costs due to increasing feasibility for users to self-host their own services thereby reducing cloud-dependant subscription-costs

As a systems analyst the current environment in the tech space really tickles my brain in delightful ways🤔

Please note however:
As I have no certainties about what the path lies ahead in addition to potentially being misinformed; please take everything I've said with a grain of salt in that all of this is speculation and are my thoughts alone (sadly I also have no insider information to provide further supporting evidence)
