I wasn't entirely sure about the mere R5 4500U in the laptop I bought recently, but it tears through everything I throw at it. The only thing that stopped me from getting one of the higher-end R7s was that all the laptops with it and a

I just switched from a laptop with spinning rust and an Intel Celeron N2830 to a laptop with an SSD and a Ryzen 5 4500U. Each of the six cores is several times more powerful than the old CPU. Now I get why so many developers build sites tha

Putting more stuff under the permalink page linked from a timestamp is a web tradition that's older than HN. I don't know if it's good, but I do notice when I can't click a timestamp. Even Twitter and Facebook abide it.

I was always so confused by people saying the latest games were realistic. They looked so horrible. Maybe it's because my point of comparison was Nintendo games where they focused more on art direction than polygon count. I read an int
