this will make me happy uh riley what
did the what the i didn't know we were reddit you should you should knock first
after announcing the welcome news last week that users could install Windows 11
on hardware that's not officially supported as long as they're okay
dealing with potential issues yesterday microsoft made it clear that they
themselves would definitely be the source of one of those issues telling
the verge that such unsupported installs aren't entitled to get Windows updates
whether that be new features security patches or drivers
the pc community is obviously in an uproar as this is just the latest
misstep in microsoft's Windows 11 marketing strategy now it seems kind of
unlikely that microsoft would actually follow through with this at least when
it comes to security updates since it continued to support Windows 7
long after it said they were through it's over just kidding this seems to
happen all the time with microsoft and the solution seems to be to bully them
into changing their mind let's all threaten to switch to chromosomes
come on what's the matter you are travel
who do you think you are microsoft apple sony is quietly releasing a slightly
tweaked model of the playstation 5 and thanks to a teardown by austin evans the
internet got to take a peek at the new model's significantly smaller heatsink
was it worth it oh yeah many were concerned the smaller
cooling unit would make the ps5 run hot and indeed evans noticed thermal exhaust
temperatures that were higher than the reference model by 3 to 5 degrees
celsius however while evans concludes this is a bad thing many internet
engineers are pointing out that evidence by itself doesn't actually say anything
about the new unit's cooling ability the heatsink may be smaller because the
cooling system was actually designed to be more efficient and the exhaust is
hotter because it's removing more heat from the system components
yeah i get it austin listen you know we love you but
maybe you should do an epic collab with steve to sort this out that's not a joke
