Did you hear? "The Navy store" has RTX cards at MRSP. Maybe you need an upgrade.🤔😁

@johnrheritage @coolingreviews Yup. @pcper storage testbed was an i7-920 for several years. Was also on an X99 / 5820K for an even longer period. Switching CPUs meant retesting everything, so choices needed to be future proof, and ‘everything’ was a bit much near the end there :)
English
2600K was awesome.
3930K was pretty good too (6 core Sandy Bridge) though IIRC it launched a full year after 2600K. 5820K came more quickly.
I think @malventano bought a very future proof i7-920.
12600K still feels pretty strong too 3.5 years later.
Hard to say what was future proof on the AMD side. I have some long term favorites:
5x86-133 -- A 486 fast enough to play MP3s at a great price, though the race of 1998-2001 made this CPU age out in a few years.
Athlon K7 - the FPU was awesomely future proof, but the CPU race aged the first K7's a lot, and quickly.
Athlon 64 FX; great performance at launch but greatly overshadowed by dual cores a couple of years later.
Anything in AM4 -the platform was future proof, but no single processor here was/is.
English
These CPUs I consider bangers and futureproof for their time unlike competitors! What are your favorite processor products? Why do you like them?
i7-2600K - Lasted well until the death of quad cores
i7-5820K - IMHO, the first multi-core CPU at a consumer price
Ryzen 9 9950X3D

@JoshDWalrath @brettglass The diesel ends up being run more often for quals and drills than anything else, and on SSBN’s it’s tricky squeezing in all of the necessary evolutions within the windows where making noise / being shallow is ok. So it’s run mostly to ensure readiness.
English
@malventano @brettglass I thought that while on patrol, especially with fast attack subs, they very rarely surface? Isn't that a necessity for when running the diesel backups?
English
Trump's alienation of Europe, and support for its most threatening enemy, is already causing a reaction.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. NUCLEAR SUB FORCED TO TURN BACK AFTER FUEL SNUB The USS Delaware (SSN-791), a Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine, found itself stranded off Norway’s coast after Haltbakk Bunkers (HB), one of the country’s largest marine fuel suppliers, refused to refuel it. This move isn’t just a business decision—it’s a political statement. In an official post, HB condemned President Trump’s recent actions as a “backstabbing TV show,” praised Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for his restraint, and declared “No Fuel to Americans!” while urging other European suppliers to follow suit. The timing? Impeccable. This comes right after the contentious Trump-Zelenskyy meeting, where Vice President JD Vance accused Zelenskyy of leading “propaganda tours” to highlight Russian invasion destruction, provoking a heated exchange and creating a public spectacle. Coincidence? Or are we witnessing U.S. influence being whittled away while adversaries take notes? (Source: Visegrád)

@brettglass @JoshDWalrath Also, your land based diesels are built on land based assumptions. Nuclear subs can have operational needs to run silent for months at a time, and their diesels are configured accordingly.
English
@malventano @JoshDWalrath I maintain several land-based diesel backup generators. They need to be started and run regularly. On a sub, that's going to be even more important to do. Several folks here on TwiXter who have served on nuclear subs have pointed this out.
English
@brettglass @JoshDWalrath I served on two. They don’t run them just to power loads as they are only run in emergencies or for maintenance. Many subs paint their diesel red to match other damage control gear. DC gear is never used for mundane tasks.
English
@brettglass @JoshDWalrath The ‘maintenance’ is just to ensure operation and is only typically a monthly. It is not operated to ‘power nonessential equipment’. The monthly requirement is typically pushed during patrol, where you can go months without operation. It’s not ever run ‘for the fun of it’.
English
@JoshDWalrath @malventano The diesel generators are run regularly to keep them maintained, to power nonessential equipment, and as backup in case the reactor must be shut down. The sub shouldn't be operated without diesel on hand, because it would endanger the crew.
English
@JoshDWalrath @brettglass Brett has it backwards. Nuclear subs treat the diesel as emergency equipment to be used only when the reactor is offline and shore power is not available. That said, it’s unwise to remain at sea with insufficient diesel to return to port in an emergency. Doubtful they ran so low.
English
@brettglass Not as far as I know. They do have diesel generators on board, but those are only used if the reactor is shut down and they do not have land power to restart the reactor. The reactor is only ever shut down in US ports. I can ask my friend @malventano who served on a nuke.

@rohanspatel @Speenuh @X @Tesla_AI Are all of the Raven S/X (2019-2021) included in this group? It appears none of them have gotten the update.
English
Thanks @Speenuh and others who have posted on @X about this. While we normally prioritize our paid FSD customers to the extent possible, there is a group of S/X customers (~3% of total FSD eligible vehicles) who have a different hardware which the @Tesla_AI team is working to validate. We have a rigorous safety validation cycle for every software update, and we are working as hard as possible to ship the latest builds to all customers. We don’t want to give false precision on timing until the validation can be completed, but want you to know we are focused on trying to solve this. Many of you have been with us on the FSD journey from the start and it’s super appreciated.
Anthony Spina@Speenuh
Yup, solved that one issue. But all of us legacy S/X owners still haven’t received v12 yet, with no official communication stating whether or not we even will. MCU1 FSD S/X owners have been living in the dark on this for years, and now MCU2 owners are beginning to be lumped into this group as well, at least it would seem on the surface. Being an early supporter and seeing folks who haven’t even bought in getting this update is deflating. An official communication from Tesla with some sort of reassurance that we’re not being left behind would go a long way for lots of us…
English
@RedPillReality_ @Speenuh @Aureliius @arctechinc @rohanspatel @Tesla @Tesla_AI @MartinViecha None of the Raven S/X's have gotten the update. That's all 2019-2021. Those are HW3/MCU2 cars. 2-year span of the most expensive models should not be treated as a 'small percent'.
English
@Speenuh @Aureliius @arctechinc @rohanspatel @Tesla @Tesla_AI @MartinViecha I told this man to calm down he’s a small percent before even reading he’s literally in a 3% category. Does that bring you down to earth a little??
English
Please encourage your friends and family who may have a @Tesla to try this free 30 day trial of Supervised FSD.
The progress being made by @Tesla_AI is “mind blowing” as @MartinViecha is fond of saying.
Yes, I think you’ll buy or subscribe after the trial. But even for those who don’t, it’s inspiring to just experience the foundational AI progress.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
BREAKING: Tesla's FSD free trial is starting to roll out to Tesla owners in the U.S. that didn't previously purchase FSD. Within the next few weeks, over 1.7 million Tesla owners in North America will get to try FSD Beta for free for the first time via this trial.

@Barack_McBush @DocAtCDI @JoshDWalrath This might be one of the first jokes I heard on the sub. That takes me back.

@baishen @Level1Techs @Phison_USA M.2 physical/electrical spec is fairly robust and reasonably futureproof. It's also used in servers. Much less reason to go the other way, but there are 2.5" U.2 NVMe cages available in desktop 5.25" form.
English
@Level1Techs @malventano @Phison_USA Good info. Any thoughts on the new connectors etc making it to desktops? Seemed like everything was m2 or server.

@alextyson_ @Level1Techs @Phison_USA I'm no longer with Solidigm, but they don't currently offer 4-8TB client SSDs regardless. For large editing arrays, I'd recommend @Phison_USA equipped @Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus - one of the few SSDs available in 8TB.
