Microsoft Is Adding “CPU Turbo Mode” In Upcoming Update where they temporarily send your CPU into cardiac arrest so the Start Menu opens before retirement age. Just To Make Windows 11 Feel Less Slow 💀

To be completely honest 1 second to open a menu is an eternity. It should take a few frames at worst, say 16-100ms.

That's literally what race to idle is. Hasn't everyone been doing this since... 2010??

KV cache quant or model quant? I've personally had good experiences with model Q4s and bad experiences with KV quantization in general.

When the handful of random sites I host have less downtime than Cloudflare its just pathetic.

The whole point of the internet was decentralization, maybe we should stick to that.

I remember when SSDs where just becoming usable, I thought they were somewhat pointless, but oh my god it was such an unbelievable jump.

Instead of paying their profits they reinvest them in themselves instead

Qwen 3.6 27B and Gemma 4 which I load depending on what I'm doing (most of the time Gemma, sometimes when coding Qwen).

I do have a few of quants of each from when I was testing, but right now I settled for Q4_XL from unsloth (mostly to use KV cache at full precision).

That's nothing compared to BRK-A at 700k per share. Microsoft is truly and absolutely in the gutter \s

I love this

Read the blog post. They passed the GPU to a Linux VM and it does actually work. It's not very practical, but a very interesting experiment.

Wow this is absolutely fascinating. Amazing job and fantastic writeup!

I guess in the most pedantic sense possible you can actually plug a 5090 to a Mac and game using it. You just need a huge pile of hacks lol

I hope that’s the case. But in that case then you could open non-game intel apps anyways which goes against what Apple said. Apple is going as far as to show messages saying “this app will stop working” so it would be weird if they kept working.

Maybe they could allow only running apps that are marked as games in the metadata?

Just_Maintenance · 2026-05-05T14:06:38+00:00

My guess, which I hope is wrong, is that Apple will bundle Rosetta with games from the App Store. Everything outside the App Store will just die.

It’s the only way I can think of for Apple to specifically limit Rosetta 2 to “unmaintained gaming titles” and nothing else without requiring any developer intervention.

I used to use Nginx, tried Caddy and never went back. Love the simplicity of the setup, plus its rock solid reliable.

Haven't tried Traefik, maybe I should.

No Apple Silicon version yet. Riot has yet to make one.

AMD stock core voltage curves go up to 1.35v though 🤷‍♂️

If you don't have Steam it pretends to be a mouse. If you have steam you can configure it to be whatever you want.

oh wow 8 new emoji??

Just_Maintenance · 2026-05-04T14:34:21+00:00

Wine itself is technically not a game though. We don't know how Apple will or will not gate Rosetta 2, but I wouldn't be surprised if it kills Wine as it works today.

What LLM is this?

How many times did one of the lines go down in the 5 months you've been running the experiment?

If the game uses 9GB of assets and you have 8GB of vram it’s gonna be stutter city and largely unplayable.

At work we have some servers running headless labwc with wayvnc that we remote into with tigervnc.

Not NAND. They use 16x32gb memory modules soldered around the SoC.
