There is about a hundred books explaning this and beyond. Google “Just in Time” and be amazed.

Uh, are you sure the display driver chip is in the console/GPU? Both the Bloomberg and Wikipedia articles linked describe it as a part of monitors, smartphones, TVs, or other devices with an embedded screen - it’s the bit that takes the digital framebuffer and turns it into analog voltages sent to the LCD or OLED or…

I gotta say I’m pretty pleased about the whole thing. I was all set to drop serious bucks on an RTX 3080 and a PS5 last year but the delays saved me. First of all, Cyberpunk 2077 my reason for wanting an RTX 3080 ended up NOT being a reason to upgrade my video card, and with the controller issue and frankly so far no…

You can’t recharge between stages when you’re on a transit stage. Rally is probably the worst style of racing for full EVs because, surprisingly, it’s the style of racing closest to real-world driving.

Word of warning. I’ve been in Alpha, and then Alpha skip ahead since those rings launched. If you are invited, make sure that you understand that you are truly in for bugs that will affect your experience using the Xbox. You might lose audio for days, or not be able to use your favorite app. Also make sure you have a…

Apparently it isn’t meant to be used as a valet mode, but rather an anti-theft mode. Which further begs the question: Why let the engine run at all without that code?

the msrp is 20k EURO before the subsidies. 

At what point does a car modification become an expression of your culture and style and something dangerous to others both cars and pedestrians?

I can think of nothing more apt and ironic these days than an American team being bought and paid for by the Russians while they install a puppet driver that also enjoys grabbing women but suffers no consequences.

They are doing better. They’re holding the cars back for quality checks instead of letting them out the door with parts from Home Depot while developing a solution for later cars.

Hopefully everyone on the team receives a 5" scale model that gives a really close shave.
