The concern was that it uses a "liquid metal" thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly's liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn't have that issue.

While the understanding would be nice to have, I suspect it is more a lack of backbone than anything else.

But 0x80 is how you'd normally express 128 as hex. So it's relevant. But deliberately confusing.

It was IBM's binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.

I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok

I sincerely hope that if they come up with a 128bit instruction set they call it "x80" to maintain backwards compatibility with previous set names and be deliberately confusing to everyone.

At my age, I'd probably rather the onion rings.

Sorry, not just implication; she was straight up talking about that.

I love it. You can't see me because I can't see you!

I dunno, it looks like two framework laptops and a modern macbook pro. They could be doing far worse if that's what those are.
