    Welcome to Archality - AI Inference by Enthusiasts

    Hell yeah baby! It doesn't get much [H]arder than ASIC development. Conceptually this sounds pretty solid. Nvidia is still largely leaning on its legacy model of shoehorning AI workloads down shader pipelines. I don't even need convincing that a smaller company with a fresh approach could...

    Windows 11 abandoned native apps. Now it needs them to survive Opinion by Chris Hoffman •

    Change My Mind: The decline of Windows began when they removed the native Minesweeper app.

    Microsoft announces AMD partnership for next-gen gaming devices — to make Windows the no. 1 in gaming

    You're probably right. Developers have been burnt by their tools too many times. Microsoft is claiming some kind of easy streamlined experience here (again), but it's clear that they still want the developers to migrate their build processes over to whatever Microsoft decides is the "right...

    Microsoft announces AMD partnership for next-gen gaming devices — to make Windows the no. 1 in gaming

    Okay yeah, still trying to build that walled garden I see... It's like every other Microsoft effort (Edge, Cortana, Copilot, random Windows features nobody asked for, etc.). Notice me! Use me! I want market share! No, please, don't disable me! I'm good for something, I swear! I'll...

    Microsoft announces AMD partnership for next-gen gaming devices — to make Windows the no. 1 in gaming

    That'd be sweet, but this is Microsoft. They've been trying to establish Windows as a walled gaming garden for 20+ years now. They're just really incompetent and keep building the walls in the middle of the garden. This is what they should have done 15 years ago with Games For Windows Live...

    Microsoft have a guide covering how to install Linux, and it's surprisingly good.

    Embrace Extend Extinguish Sounds like step #2. I don't see them making it to step #3 this time though, so I'm cool with that.

    Microsoft have a guide covering how to install Linux, and it's surprisingly good.

    I love that you can mount Windows partitions into WSL. That means I can use Linux tools to manage most of my Windows installation without having to touch the abomination known as Powershell.

    A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

    Is anybody working on this bill aware that the vast majority of deployed operating systems belong to completely automated infrastructure and have no users to perform age verification against? ** Reads bill ** Nope, they have no idea what they're doing. The way this is written, your car now...

    Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware

    Does "legacy" mean the sort of drivers we had 20 years ago in Windows XP when you could simply plug a printer in and have it work without having to download extra software from the printer company? Like, when they were just simple .CAB files that shipped/updated with the OS instead of the...

    Newegg stock price falls 17.7% after Chinese owner is detained by anti-corruption authorities

    I was excited to hear all you guys talking about this Microcenter place, but it looks like all the good stuff is "in-store only" and the closest store to me is 1,346 miles away... I guess I'll have to plan a vacation to Colorado next time I buy a video card. Then again a modern GPU box is...

    Microsoft Introduces Its Newest AI Accelerator: Maia

    No for real, like, Is there PCB under all those waterblocks? I can't even tell. That's some god-tier cable management though I have to admit. My dad was always telling me growing up that in the future we'd have coolant outlets in our homes next to the AC plugs and ethernet jacks. This...

    Samsung rejects its own request for memory.

    100% this. Anybody that thinks these companies operate as seamless well-orchestrated hiveminds of unitary efficiency has clearly never worked for one of them. People suck. For every 3 minutes of progress we spend 2 of them fighting each other. It doesn't matter if it's a company, the...
