If you look at a list of new computers, you will notice that a surprisingly large amount of PCs are already shipping with 128 GB or 256 GB SSD. That's gonna hold everything that most people need. People with bit more specialized needs (hardcore gaming, media production, virtual machines, etc.) can probably soon acquire 1 TB SSD for a price like $200. Only massive data centers will remain as users of HDDs. Flash memory companies are putting huge investments in developing the technology further, while HAMR is still a prototype in skunkworks that is struggling to be usable for mass production.
Why does the article call it "leaked patch"? That seems like a normal public patch to Linux Kernel Mailing List.
Also when I read the source code, I do not see anything suggesting 32 cores, and instead the patch adds support for an "instructions retired" register which is introduced in the Zeppelin architecture.
So is the article rubbish or am I rubbish? Once again I get the feeling that by even just slightly scraping the surface, things turn out to be completely different than what is described.:D
Firefox is falling off the wagon technologically anyway. You can feel the single-threaded model limiting things. Everything freezes from time to time and browsing is choppy. Google Maps is painfully laggy. Video playback uses huge amount of CPU. Screwing around with version numbers and release cycles are meaningless tweaks when there would be much bigger fundamental problems to solve.
Chrome and Edge is where the rippin' development is happening.
Well, that's refreshing.:) You actually switched the operating system, instead of continuing to whine year after year about the problems, like many masochistic Linux users of Slashdot do.
Windows 10 works smoothly on an Atom N270 or Core 1 Duo. Unity, on the other hand...not so much.
A basic composited desktop with basic animations does not require that much horsepower. Even a measly GMA950 is more than enough. Even VIA C7-M with Chrome9 graphics ran Windows 7 with no hiccups and all 3D eyecandy enabled.

I only said that it is a special corner case.
magic unicorn land you speak off?
I said soon, not now.
Almost no one needs 8 TB. It's one of those special corner cases. Even 1 TB is plenty for most families' media silos.
Exactly.

Not fully.
Exactly.
That's not the point here.
Nice denialism.
Yeah, whatever man.

Google's Public Data explorer can be used to pull some graphs.
Here's a dataset that shows unemployment rates in European various countries.
Can you build it?
Well, that's refreshing. :) You actually switched the operating system, instead of continuing to whine year after year about the problems, like many masochistic Linux users of Slashdot do.
Please, stop the denialism.

Linux is terribly bloated and unoptimized.
The mind control seems to be already working, as you are unable to press the Shift key on the keyboard.
I meant from the perspective of the user.
The only reason I have an account is for friends and family - I wonder how many other accounts are purely for this reason?
Huh? Keeping up with friends and family is the main purpose of Facebook.
Well, back then, Linux actually was better than Windows.
Sorry guys, but I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish by throwing these "shill" accusations at me. :)
You have no idea what you are talking about, right?
Yeah, whatever man.
Internet tough guy.
That's what I want to say to the people taking about UEFI backdoors.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
