LG's large OLED panels get world's first Intertek certification for "perfect" color and brightness — displays apparently look good under bright ambient light

Dimming the lights down on the TV room may not be a necessity for much longer.

To study how chips really work, MIT researchers built their own operating system

The new "Fractal" operating system kernel, developed at MIT, gives researchers a clearer look at how computer chips work internally. It was used to study the branch predictors inside Apple's M1 processor, where it revealed a potential vulnerability to major speculative attacks.

AMD ‘had to re-engineer’ the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for a re-release — 10th Anniversary Edition chip had ‘a whole body of engineering work’ put into it

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.today/post/55011369

AMD’s David McAfee, VP and general manager of Radeon and Ryzen, says that “a whole body of engineering work” went into the re-release, as the original bonding process TSMC used for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was no longer available.

[...]

“It completely changed the characteristics of how those two pieces of silicon are bonded together and how they were stacked together, and so when that first-gen facility really kind of went offline, then it meant there was a whole, you know, body of engineering work that had to be done to understand if we could even migrate the 5800X3D to the new, second-generation stacking process,” McAfee said.

Well, a facility that can handle that process going offline explains why the processor stopped being produced even though it's been in high demand for a while.

Commodore announces Linux-based flip phone with ‘no social media, no browser’ — the Callback 8020 will be available in five retro colorways starting at $499, runs 99% of Android apps

Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.
