Hard to go wrong with the Asrock Taichi that Wendell from Level1Techs is also a fan of. Looks like memory will be your limiting factor and with VMs being part of the equation, 128gb seems like a good idea.

I am curious how well adobe software can use a dgpu in a vm. I understand things have gotten much better for gaming and maybe that'll translate into other gpu intensive tasks.

A good source of info: https://forum.level1techs.com

This post seems confusing without additional details. Maybe you can expand on what are the tasks that will make use of that kind of processing power. What are your performance priorities?

Based on your current description, I don't see anything that will stress even a 10 year old CPU.

Also, what uses would you have for an egpu other than basic hardware acceleration? Gaming, A.I, etc...

If you just want to cover your bases, almost any high end x670 board will do the job.

We literally have wireshark and similar utilities available to all of us to inspect every packet of data coming in to and leaving our phones. You can install pcapdroid right now to see exactly what facebook is doing and where that data is going. This is not complicated stuff.

Now imagine the payday and notoriety that'll go to the security research firm that is doing this kind of work on a regular basis and is able to definitively prove it's happening. Why do you think that hasn't happened yet?

Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.

The math on anyone always listening to everyone's phones doesn't add up and will not any time in the near future.

Thanks for responding. This is why open source is great. You can use telegram or ntfy or gotify (in my case) to do the same thing and choose whatever works best for you.

As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?

Thanks, I watched it but I must've missed that part. If it does turn out that the 900mhz boost to the compute fabric is at fault, Wendell seems to be implying it might not be possible to solve with a microcode update. I hope that's not the case but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

What I'm really waiting for someone to figure out is what makes the 13th/14th gen 7/9 series processors more prone to these failures compared to the 1/4/6 series and why the 12th gen chips remain unaffected given the minor architecture changes.

Thank you for the very clear explanation.

Commenter says it's a fork of antennapod like podcini is. I've tried podcini but wasn't fond of the interface changes and went back to antennapod. Wish the github page would list what makes focus different from antennapod.

Discussion starts at 9:10 after some technical issues.

Edit: Looks like what I have is the unedited version of the link you followed up with.

I have the video but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Anything I should look out for?
