What if the software was written for ROCm?

Is it to me or the iGPU of Ryzen 9950X is not supported by ROCm?

the current state of the art tool for configuration is CUE (https://cuelang.org/). FTFY. Gotta love these acronyms.

The cheese you'll find in a typical French store or village will probably not be the kind required to make carbonara.

What about performance and driver support for Linux? Any issues with suspending to memory or disk?

> Regular people don't know whether to get Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7.

What are you talking about. It's right in the manual for some switches like the TP-Link TL-SX105 V4 [1]. It's not even an expensive or fancy one.

    Network Media (Cable)
    100BASE-TX: 2-pair UTP/STP of Cat. 5 or above (maximum 100 m)
    1000BASE-T: 4-pair UTP/STP of Cat. 5e or above (maximum 100 m)
    2.5GBASE-T: 4-pair UTP/STP of Cat. 5e or above (maximum 100 m)
      5GBASE-T: 4-pair UTP/STP of Cat. 5e or above (maximum 100 m)
     10GBASE-T: 4-pair UTP of Cat 6 (maximum 55 m) or STP of Cat 6, 6a, 7 (maximum 100 m)

If you're too lazy to read the manual you could probably ask chatgpt, gemini whatever. Or you could ask the guy from a store. A run of the mill store, not some crazy hobbyist store.

In the worst case you'll buy some overboard Cat 7 cable, but at least things are simple unlike with fiber optics last time I've asked [2]. With cable all you need to know is the speed. You don't have to ask yourself what kind of module you have or maybe you don't even have one. All you need to know is the speed and perhaps the length although I think only "the 1%" will need more than 55 meters :-)

I'm for free speech, but ADA has released this press statement [1]:

This includes maintaining a strictly nonpartisan environment at all organizational events and functions while engaging across party affiliations to advance our mission.

I was under the impression that the First Amendment means that the government can't arrest you for what you say, not that it lets you talk about whatever you like at a conference organized or supported by it. Nevertheless I understand the urge of those guys to have their voices/ideas heard.

For what it's worth, ADA has released this press statement [1]:

> As a 501(c)(3) organization, the ADA has safeguards in place to ensure that it complies with all IRS regulations.
