Hi, the hardware is the same only different brands.
The Gigabyte is a few % higher boost clocked but you won't notice that.
I use both brands in the past and never had problems with the cards so I would buy the cheaper one.
Cheers, mib
@nomadic said in Newest Lenovo Laptop has its own 2nd panel:
My requirements for a new computer might be a little different than yours, but who knows, maybe you need lots of compute power for something also?
@nomadic Thanks for your reply. Some of the items you mentioned aren't even in my vocabulary; I haven't the vaguest idea how to build a pc & I'm envious of those -- like yourself -- who can.
With that in mind, I'm looking for an off-the-shelf -- but upgradable -- desktop with great graphics card w its own memory that is 100% sRGB & 100% Adobe RGB or as close as possible; sRGB more important to me. Basically, I use 3 programs: a dB (Zoot); a browser (Vivaldi) & an image post production program (Exposure).
If anything comes to mind, please let me know. I'm going to wait for shortages to settle down -- along w prices -- before I buy. But I'd like to start following a manufacturer or two so I can compare & watch for sales//discounts.
@streptococcus , I think in the same way as with a normal CPU, but using different apps an programms. But for the moment it serve for more than for experiments with a new technology.
With 2 Qbits you can't do much more, If you know how to program it, you can use it as auxiliar in combination with your PC., I think.
My first computing device was not a full-fledged computer. It was a Sym-1, and looked like a bare motherboard except it had rubber feet under it, the input was a hex keypad, and the output was a tiny speaker and a row of 8-segment LEDs. I played Hunt the Wumpus on it. I also had a music program that played only one track, and a bunch of other little programs.
*@catnip said in Any fans of the old IBM Electric typwriters?:
@gwen-dragon Funnily enough, Gwen, these beautiful old machines still hold considerable charm. The IBM Electric was my first experience with feather-touch typing, and what a change it made from the old, clunky Remingtons with their white, heavy keyboards which gave me tension headaches starting from the base of my neck right down my spine. Not funny. Oh love, you're 50+? I'm 61. If YOU are a Maker, I don't want to know what the youngsters here would call me! - Cat.
@gwen-dragon Surprisingly, Gwen, these lovely vintage computers still have a lot of appeal. My first encounter with feather-touch typing was on the IBM Electric, and what a difference it made from the old, clumsy Remingtons with their white, heavy keyboards, which gave me tension headaches from the base of my neck all the way down my spine. It's not amusing. Oh, you're over 50, right? I'm 61 years old. I don't want to know what the kids here would name me if you're a Maker! - The cat.*
@joywriter Wow, thanks for that nostalgic trip to late-90s web design, especially having everything in a table! What did you use, MS Word and save as HTML? 🤣
(Assuming this is spam here but still funny...)
@sgunhouse , yes, this is a problem in a lot of poor countries, but there are several projects since some years, like Othernet and others for fix this problem, but its only a parcial solution.
I think that it need more help from the occidental companies and goverments to conect the people in the global network.
I also think that these junk even today can be useful, for students and also engineers, since they still make a round and a half of any scientific calculator and easier to have on hand than a PC or laptop.
I use my RPi 4 with 8GB of RAM for light daily tasks like listen to internet radios, stay in contact with messengers without the struggle of typing on virtual keyboards, and so on. Of course, also to mess around a bit with Linux from time to time. With a good monitor and sound system is just wonderful. I have my music and still can chat comfortably whatever I'm doing on my work computer: keeping it very busy with a large database or rebooting or something. Plus, gives me the feeling of separation between the real work and the ambiance and the plans for lunch.
I appreciate the most that the Raspberry makes no noise (I use it without a fan, just passive cooling) and it's fast enough for those tasks to keep me happy.
My Windows 20H2 also runs very stable. The windows monitored folder access is recommended:

@ROTFL said in Google wants to be like Apple and wants to be the only one with more control over Android platform?:
Google knows better than developer what is key functionality of app
But if course, grumble knows all. Can even read your minds (I wear a tinfoil hat).
