  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.

That's so stupid, also because they have fixes for Zen and Zen 2 based Epyc CPUs available.

Intel vs. AMD isn't "bad guys" vs. "good guys". Either company will take every opportunity to screw their customers over. Sure, "don't buy Intel" holds true for 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs specifically, but other than that it's more of a pick your poison.

Tangent: If we started buying risc-v systems we might get to a point where they can actually compete.

That's still far away from us as a consumer standpoint, but I'm eagerly waiting for a time when I could buy a RISC V laptop with atleast midrange computing capabalities

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I‘m more on the builder/tinkerer side so I‘m pretty much in starting position with risc-v now. But yes, its going to be some time before any of it is user ready as a pc.

Framework has a laptop in progress if you're interested

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Indeed I am. I‘m in posession of a working laptop but I could maybe order a riscv tablet from pine64. I already have the pinetime and the stuff is pretty awesome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well the Star64 from Pine is pretty good, just doesn't have enough processing power and IO for my liking.

As in efficient per watt or some other metric?

I'm not buying hardware that doesn't suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

This is one of the hardest earned lessons I’ve ever learned, and I’ve had to learn it over and over again. I think it’s mostly stuck now but I still make the same mistake from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, thats the reason why we‘re in this capitalist hellhole. Perfection comes from billionaire money, nothing else.

[–] conciselyverbose 6 points 3 months ago (6 children)

What are you talking about perfection?

Buying something that doesn't function is never rational.

Jeff Geerling had a video recently about the state of RISC V for desktop. https://youtu.be/YxtFctEsHy0?si=SUQBiepSeOne8-2u

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for referring to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm waiting to see how DeepComputing's RISC-V mainboard for the Framework turns out. I'm aware that this is very much a development platform and far from an actual end-user product, but if the price is right, I might jump in to experiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Sounds like a cool idea! :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At the rate we are going Qualcomm might pivot to Risc-V (they are being sued by ARM)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Interesting! Thanks for chiming in. I‘ll read up about it.

“Both sides”

“Vote third party!”

Wtf seriously this isn’t the same thing remotely but the arguments used are.
