My RAW converter is super-slow: cosplaying as a CPU scheduler on an 12th generation Core processor (or other hybrid asymetric processors) 2 weeks ago
I upgraded my CPU lately, which was an annoying adventure for a bunch of reasons, but I thought I'd focus on what it's like to run the same things that were running on a Windows 10 machine with a 7th generation Core and run them on a Windows 10 machine with a 12th generation Core, understanding that…

Ender 3v2 with a Bondtech DDX and a Slice Mosquito. 3 months ago
