At a really high level, SATA III had a 6Gbps data rate (8 bits per Byte, so 750MB/s) so most SATA SSDs were giving you 550MB/s at the most.

Conversely, NVMe is usually a PCIe x4 slot, which tops out at 4GB/s. Most M.2 NVMe drives will give you 3200MB/s, which is easily six times faster.

Edit: for a fun point of reference, old HDDs were about 60MB/s, with high latency on top of that due to seek time.

This is pretty interesting as a half measure towards unified memory. Obviously the PCIe bus is the bottleneck here, but using the 16x slot should be slightly faster than using your NVMe.

Even O365 regularly botches line, paragraph, and table formatting compared to the desktop versions. If you really need your formatting to be page-perfect, you should probably be using Scribus, Microsoft Designer, or Adobe InDesign anyways.

This is patently false; what if you are provided for by someone else? What if you are not eligible to collect unemployment benefits?

I can almost understand 2019, which was End of Support in 2023. Blame Apple’s certificate requirement, I guess?

But 2021 is still literally under support until later this year, which is mind blowing.

The so-called architect put those hairs there, you moron.

“It’s One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?”

Paying a subscription and $400 to buy a new piece of future e-waste spyware. Who is dumb enough to buy this crap?

Microsoft Security in 2026; block their GitHub accounts and condemn bad actors in a press release, that will solve the problem!

The Intel Arc Pro series is not marketed as a gaming card, though gaming works fine. Technically it targets the workstation segment.

HDR in Wayland using KDE Plasma 6.6 and GNOME 50 is supported on NVIDIA-open-595.58.03 and later.

A lot of specific applications still suck, including Firefox, but HDR is supported on AMD and NVIDIA.

If they don’t already have your call sign, they can identify you from your heading and altitude. Failing that, they will give you a squawk code to punch into your transponder that will identify you on the board.

GPS is not required instrumentation, but the typical “six pack” is: airspeed indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator.

If you call into ATC they can give you your exact coordinates and ground speed.
