    Paltry 3 to 7mbps transfer speed from pc to Lexar flash drive via USB 3.0

    Has the free space reduced or something? Try emptying the drive (after backup of course) then retry the file transfer? Also did you try the CrystalDiskMark tool on it?

    Paltry 3 to 7mbps transfer speed from pc to Lexar flash drive via USB 3.0

    Did you check the speed using something like CrystalDiskMark tool? If it's 7 MBps (megabytes not megabits) aka 70 mbps then it might be normal.

    AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review roundup : Confusing and all over the place

    I like this KitGuruTech video... some sanity. . And this guy hits the nail on the head IMO - AMD is focussed on Enterprise/Datacenter market and doesn't care about individuals (client) market for CPUs and GPUs. Someone had mentioned this same thing a long while back - can't remember if it was...

    Linux How to dual boot windows with Debian

    @TrexTom if you want you can run "sudo grub-install" then "sudo update-grub" in Debian so that you dont need to press F9 everytime (save some time) because the GRUB bootloader will present a menu to select Debian (default) or Windows everytime you bootup. Nice thing is you can apply some nice...

    AMD’s first Zen 5 CPU is the ‘monster’ Ryzen 9 9950X

    So who else is excited for the release this coming week and the next??? I'm considering replacing my current Zen 2 (3970X) PC with a 9950X build which sadly (for me) will be half the cores but I'll double everything else specs-wise. Will wait a couple of months though, for two reasons...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    I think I got what I needed. Scratched my itch with this topic for now. Just wanted to get a feel for the differences between running a model fully on CPU vs GPU vs mixed CPU+GPU - not in like "laboratory conditions" or anything. So what I observed is the following - I know I could have just...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    btw i just tried the 8b model (5 GB memory requirement) on my zen4 laptop and was able to run both CPU and GPU modes... the laptop iGPU (780M on the Ryzen 7840U CPU) doubled the performance (tokens per minute) it seems.. if an iGPU makes this much difference , now im even more eager to run it on...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    No reason, just wanted to experience it for kicks aka shits and giggles lol. Also to compare the speed difference on various hardware configs for the different model sizes and quality of responses for my application use-case (text-to-SQL), see whether it's worth running the full-fat 405b model...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    Does anyone here use cloud VMs with GPUs to run AI workloads? I'm trying to run the new Facebook/Meta LLM called Llama 3.1 and its 405b sized model using ollama.com which in GPU mode requires at least 230 GB of total GPU memory. I have been trying to launch VMs in various cloud providers, like...

    Linux The GNU Linux Thread

    This is my cue to make my obligatory plug for my two favourite distros - KDE neon and elementary OS :D Try those if you are exploring Linux options... See neon.kde.org (download the "user edition") for a Windows-like UI and see elementary.io for a macOS-like UI. PS: elementary.io website asks...

    Linux The GNU Linux Thread

    Yeah I too found the Fedora installer a bit tricky at first... are you sure you are actually mounting the partitions the way you want? I mean click on the EFI and enter the mount path on the blank field on the right side, stuff like that? I haven't used Fedora in a long time (I'm a diehard...

    Linux The GNU Linux Thread

    Can you check your Windows settings and disable "fast startup" option in the old Control Panel power settings? Does your Windows installation have Bitlocker enabled?

    Monitors OLED Monitors

    I believe even the latest bunch of OLED monitors do NOT have the "correct" subpixel layout, at least not matching regular LEDs (IPS whatever) perfectly... If I'm not mistaken sites like TFTCentral.co.uk have some explanation on this (on their YT channel too)... will try to post links here if I...
