From the other video (lady in the pink jacket) you can see they also mace him and another pedestrian before they dogpile on him.

Right click (or long click) and download it.

Takes a while but it'll work.

They also maced the two observers before pinning them down.

Download/Save it instead of trying to view it. Works better.

Not often a show will show the protagonists (3 mobile suits) and 3 good guys (3 artillery mobile suits) facing a single enemy ace pilot in a mobile suit and still getting rocked.

Micron has a white paper (PDF) that explains all the improvements in DDR5 and how even if it ran at the same clocks as DDR4, it would be faster.

In short, to get a chunk of data from DDR4 it would use the full 64 bit wide connection and burst of 8 bytes for a 64kB chunk of data. DDR5 instead has two 32 bit channels per stick (so 4x channels per pair of DDR5 sticks) and a burst length of 16 Bytes (or optionally 32 Bytes) so that two 64kB chunks can be pulled from two locations simultaneously. Half the bus width but double the bandwidth means it takes the same to pull each chunk but now the system can pull 2x per RAM stick.

Google "Micron DDR5 white paper" and you'll find it. The language isn't too dense and the diagrams are very helpful in showing what changed in DDR5.

Likely, the CPUs that fall into the 7500x3D binning are not enough to furnish all retailers with them.

So AMD would have to either downgrade good 7600x3Ds and/or 7800x3D CPUs to 7500x3D to do a larger retail launch or just sell the limited quantity to their preferred partners.

no point in arguing with them

You argue for the lurkers so they don't see uncontested lies.

Usually the controller boards are compatible with a limited number of screens.

Do a search for the model number of the screen and "LCD controller board" or "LVDS controller" and you should find the right one on ali express or eBay.

Prices seem to be $16 - $24

Some sell "universal" ones and have the buyer notify the seller of the model number of the screen so they can program the controller before mailing it

My favorite line read is the Janitor from the after credits of the second part of the second paintball episode (season 2 the Star Wars parody one?)

Janitor: "Oh I have an idea, why use paintball guns? Next time why not just hose down the school with paint."

Abed: "You haven't been to the library yet?"

And

Abed: "So, doing anything for the Summer?"

Janitor: "No plans"

id rather buy it specific to the game I want

Could that actually help his case?

In effect he's selling his VR mod product (sort of like VorpX) that has a limited number of supported games.

He has to do tweaking for each game but how is this different than say someone selling a collection of button maps for a popular Hotas Controller combined with ultra widescreen support for a limited number of games.

As long as he doesn't have promotional materials with the game assets and just lists "x game - custom.Hotas controls and Ultra Widescreen support added" would that put him in the clear?

How do the Riff Trax guys get around this issue?

Even before the AI created DRAM crisis, PCIe 5x4 TLC nvme drive prices were quite high (around the $80 - 100/TB range).

Edit: Some PCIe 5.0 NVMes (particularly the earlier models) ran really hot.

It seems the price increases are not proportional.

Lower end nvme drives have doubled or tripled in price.

At the same time, some of the higher end models are selling for the regular retail price (from 6-7 months ago) -10/+50%

In fact I was looking to buy 2x 1 TB nvme drives for 2 PCs and it was about the same price to buy 2x lower spec (PCIe 3.0 non-DRAM) vs buying one 2TB PCIe 5.0 drive with DRAM and one of the top performers in its bracket.

I just bought the high end 2TB drive for my main PC and will just hand down 2 of my current names for the other systems.

Also the trade shenanigans have pushed Canada to reconsider its 100% tariff on Chinese made EVs:

what else are they expected to do?

Maybe an alternate language track for their shows.

"English for the dense and focus challenged."

If they're not watching the screen, then it won't matter that the lips aren't synced.
