Joke is on them, now they got to pay Apple $2 million

A desktop RTX 380 maxes out at around 16GB/s in bandwidth utilisation over PCIe. 32Gb/s is the equivalent of 4GB/s in bandwidth, so it’s not nearly enough.

Isn’t Linus invested in this company? Seems quite obvious that he will promote it.

I think the AMD chips are under NDA right now so we wouldn't be able to have a video on the and laptop yet anyway.
But yeah, hopefully the NDA is lifted soon.

Those "spacers" on the keyboard/touchpad space are AWFUL.
And are a bad idea! It means there too many clippers, moving parts, the space under keyboard is not optimised AT ALL.

Thing is that 40Gbps is only 1.25x the bandwidth of x8 PCIe gen2 speeds. Accounting for USB overheard I wouldn't be surprised if it was equal or just barely above x8 PCIe gen2 bandwidth. Remember on release of the RX6500 it got flack for being x4 only as it got a huge perf hit on x4 PCIe gen3? Note that x4 PCIe gen3 happens to be about the same bandwidth as x8 PCIe gen2. 40Gbps is pretty tiny, esp if there is overhead to deal with.

Framework has been out for a while, they’re fairly niche but very respected, they make good products and have actually held up their beliefs about repairability, they’ve already released a MOBO upgrade for example.

They're using PCIe x8 for the expansion bay on the Framework 16; not, USB4. Here's the github for the electrical design for the Expansion Bay. The theoretical maximum power available to the expansion card in this early design is 210W with supplemental wall power.

Framework already has product out though, and it’s a good laptop, plus you can change ports and upgrade or replace basically any part of it.

Easy, find this crap and people wouldn’t think Feds would be involved. Actually using a dedicated tracking device and red flags aplenty

I just watched a Dateline episode where the cops air tagged or placed a GPS monitor on the car of a person of interest... my first question was is that legal?
Turns out he did it anyway, but still...

The newer AirPods have a tracker built in. It really would be less suspicious.

Same with my mom she got an AirTag set it up we went out for like 4 hours came home and I only got the notification 1 hour after she left home AFTER the 4 hours out.

Last I checked GPUs don't saturate a gen 4 x16 link when gaming, unless the game implements direct storage which as of now isn't that many.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. All high frequency stuff lives on separate boards, and all connections are low frequency.

My coworker was notified of an AirTag tracking him after driving around with me and my bag (which I keep my airtag in) for about 6 hours. Why did anyone think this is a good idea, and how’d it work?

It's not. TB3 enclosures have been known to offer significantly worse performance than plugging it in directly into a desktop, and the performance difference only increases as GPUs get more and more powerful (and demand greater bandwidth). Off the top of my head, a moderately powerful GPU like the RTX3080 could see anywhere from 20% to 50% performance drop when put into an eGPU enclosure.
