Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it. -

If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed. -

This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share. -

Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality. -

A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.

Question
Zanatar
What is HDTV-LOL
Last week I had posted for help on if Xvid format will work on VCD format. I got the answer I needed. Such as how Nero will convert it to Mpeg1 format, and then burn it as a VCD.
Well last night, I missed recording this week`s episode of the Practice, so I went to find it to download via Bit Torrent. There are 2 versions offered to download. Once being in Xvid format, which I know will work. But I try to avoid download Xvid if I can, since it does take 30 mins or so for Nero to convert. If possible, I try to find episodes of shows that I download, that are already in Mpeg1 format.
But the second format that this show was being offered as, to download, is HDTV-LOL. Now I know HDTV is (high definition Televsion), but what is the LOL extention mean? And what format is this? Is this Mpeg1 or in a VCD ready format for nero to burn? Or will it be converted by nero as well?
If it is, VCD capable or if nero can convert, then which of the two (Xvid or HDTV-LOL) will be a higher quality viewing.
Now I know the obvious comment will be, well HDTV is for people who have HDTV tv`s. I don`t. So I don't know what will happen if I try it. ie: If it will work. If it converts faster by Nero. Or no conversion at all like an Mpeg 1 would be.
Essentially more then anything, I want to know if it will first of all work, and if so, then if Nero needs to convert it etc. I`m always looking to save time. So if Nero doesn`t have to convert it, then I`ll know that HDTV is a format I can use to download for other shows, to then burn as VCD and save time to avoid Nero`s conversion , like it does for Xvid format.
