My daughter who has schizophrenia and some paranoia bought an old and beat up Dell 960 desktop computer without a hard drive on eBay. She wants a legacy computer because she thinks it is more secure than a newer computer and it is pointless to try convincing her otherwise. After reseating the two loose memory cards, I was able to successfully boot up Linux Mint Cinnamon from a USB drive as shown in the attached image. I can access the Linux Mint menu using the Windows key, but for some reason a USB mouse is not working. I am going to try using a dedicated mouse port instead to see if that works. I have attached a photo of two unused cables that I assume are for the missing hard drive. Am I wrong? One of the cables is damaged and I may have to replace it. I am obviously not a hardware guy and am just stumbling my way through this. If I buy a 3.5 Dell SATA hard drive, can I expect it to plug and play (if I replace the damaged cable)? Or, is it more complicated than that? #Linux #Dell #Hardware #PC #CPU

Intel has confirmed price increases on select consumer and server CPUs, with some Xeon models already seeing higher list prices. Reports suggest AMD may raise prices by around 10% in Q4 for graphics chips, AI accelerators, and chipsets. Ryzen CPUs were not specifically mentioned. What this could mean for retail pricing and the used CPU market, especially for data centers and businesses holding older server hardware. https://www.buysellram.com/blog/intel-amd-price-hikes-2026/ #Intel #AMD #CPU #ServerCPU #AI #Semiconductors #tech

Voor de techies hier: ik heb de tip gekregen om een #xiaomi telefoon te gaan kopen omdat deze een betere #cpu en batterij heeft dan een vergelijkbare #Samsung telefoon, maar ik heb het niet zo op tech vanuit China. Bang dat er bv toch bepaalde data geregistreerd worden. Kan iemand mij hier uitleg over geven? Een retoot wordt gewaardeerd. #technerd #smartphone #xiaomipocox8

Stop guessing at barriers. Start reasoning about dependencies.

Vulkan's hardest topic, rebuilt around the modern standard. This series replaces legacy 1.0 barrier soup with vk::DependencyInfo and timeline semaphores, then uses that foundation to architect an engine-grade frame loop.

It's not just #Spectre and #Meltdown — dozens of similar CPU bugs have been discovered since 2018, and they're still being found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_execution_CPU_vulnerability The foundations of modern computing are ricketier than we like to imagine. In the past, I've always bought a decent computer and held on to it for years and years: it saves money and it's the green thing you do. My main machine right now is seven years old and still going strong. Updating the OS and apps is no problem — I run #Linux. But #CPU bugs make me wonder whether I should replace computers more often for security reasons. I really hope not.

@pertho@mastodon.bsd.cafe @rootwyrm@weird.autos yes and if the sole reason for @OS1337@infosec.space was to use dd & ddrescue on some industrial thingy that runs #MSDOS then yeah that would be fine. I just think that yeeting i486 is wrong cuz #i486 requires way less workarounds than #i386 to work wellCuz yes there are still new machines deployed with i486-only #CPU|s / #SoC|s in #industrial setups!

Czytam, że po ram i dyskach, ajajaj zabierze nam też procesory, bo bardziej opłaca się produkować serwerowe. Powiadam wam, że mamy na ziemi sporo już wyprodukowanych, świetnych komputerów. Linux na nich działa rewelacyjnie (pisze to z i5 8Gen / KDE Neon). A jak software zbyt wolno działa, to można go optymalizować 😉 Taka pradawna sprawdzona metoda, z czasów, gdy w PC było dostępne jedynie 640kb RAM! https://www.heise.de/en/news/Processor-shortage-to-become-acute-in-the-coming-months-11228081.html #Linux #PC #hardware #CPU
