Intel is “selling defective CPUs” says game dev in brutal smackdown
This is why GPU Drivers Might Not Matter [Hardware Canucks]
This is a great look at a number of games over time from launch to months after launch benchmarking the patch releases as well as drivers. The end conclusion is the day 1 drivers that Nvidia/AMD/Intel produce are worth having and they improve performance and fix bugs but later drivers don’t show as helping and the performance changes after that point are attributable to the game updates. What is wild is Baldur’s Gate loosing a tonne of performance in a patch and has never recover its prior performance and it can’t utilise the GPU at all well now but there are other games showing not just increases but degradation of performance as well.
Exporting YouTube Subscriptions to OPML and Watching via RSS
This used to be a lot easier, Youtube had an export function to OPML and you could just import it. Its quite useful being able to follow all your Youtube channels with your RSS reader if you want to pick which you want to watch then also Metube and the browser plug-in makes it a right click and select to send it for download.
Leaked Task Manager image suggests Intel killing Windows XP-era hyperthreading on next gen
Task Manager of prototype Intel CPU shows Core and Logical processor count are the same at 8. This is still a relatively low end chip if its just 8 cores and a 13500 has 6 + 8 = 14 total so this is maybe a laptop processor. Hyperthreading probably doesn’t make sense anymore.

Ofgem energy price cap predicted to fall to £1,823 a year
I don’t know if people are aware of the fact that you can see the wholesale price of energy but there are is a website that tracks it. https://energy-stats.uk/wholesale-energy-pricing/ [https://energy-stats.uk/wholesale-energy-pricing/] This clearly shows that wholesale energy prices this year have been lower than they were in 2021. Yet the price of electricity charged to people is much higher now than it was then.
Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing. I did a site:reddit.com search using my username and found ~50 comments that Reddit has undeleted but also hide from my own account. I could still edit and delete them. Its curious that they don’t appear on my accounts content on Reddit and yet a search engine can find them and they are still served by Reddit. Ex Reddit users who deleted their account contents should be aware this is happening and report it as a GDPR breach to their respective agencies if they are in the EU if they too find this has occurred.
