    The development of FreeDOS marches onwards with the release of version 1.4 of this command-line driven operating system. Influenced, of course, by Microsoft’s MS-DOS (which hasn’t been updated since the year 2000), FreeDOS 1.4 brings with it an updated FreeCOM, Install program, and HTML Help system. An installation also delivers several updated staple utilities, making FreeDOS 1.4 quite a compelling update to version 1.3, which came out in 2022.

    Google is making use of aggressive noncompete clauses and extended notice periods, contends former GoogDeepMinder Nando de Freitas in a recent post on X.

  • Delidded AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D runs 23 degrees cooler

    2 weeks ago | tomshardware.com | Mark Tyson

    PC overclocking and hardware expert Roman ‘Der8auer’ Hartung has shared his before-and-after AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D delidding test results. His conclusion: enthusiasts can expect up to 10% higher performance with direct-die cooling, but the cost will be significantly higher power consumption. Alternatively, Der8auer observed that users could run the delidded CPU at stock settings and enjoy far lower temperatures, around 23 degrees Celsius lower in this case, plus improved efficiency.
