    Why do so many embedded devices still use MIPS CPUs?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:05 PM PST

    MIPS hasn't been remembered since the SGI workstations of 20+ years ago, but today I can go get a $80 ethernet router with a modern MIPS CPU as powerful as those workstations and have it delivered the next day. ARM chips seem to provide bigger development support and are more plentiful. Why are MIPS CPUs still used in this one specific case, specifically ethernet switches and routers? I suspect it could be a case of it having specific instructions that are better for data processing, but I'm not sure.

    Laptop too old/low now, buying a new one ASAP, does RAM affect CPU performance?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:23 AM PST

    This one is a Dell XPS 13 6th generation i5 with 8gb RAM. I am a coder using Node, VSCode, TypeScript, Prettier and ESLint. When I have VSCode open, those syntax checkers slow the laptop to nothing. It just doesn't have the spec to cope. Compiling a React app is painfully slow.

    Because Dell's XPS ranges has massive QC issues (the trackpad freezing/stuttering issue being one I have had with this XPS since I got it) I am now looking to switch to something else and the Zenbook is an obvious choice (Surface 3s are glossy-screens, which I can't live with) as it's a similar format to the XPS. The Zenbook I am looking at is a 10th gen i7 with 16gb of RAM.

    The two processors benchmarked: -

    https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-6200U+%40+2.30GHz&id=2556

    https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1065G7+%40+1.30GHz&id=3466

    So am I to assume that the new processor would simply 3 times faster than my current one? Also, does the extra 8gb of RAM speed things up at all at the CPU level? I need to get my app compilation times down to something reasonable.

    Are Windows tablets dying?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 05:44 PM PST

    I'm a huge fan of tablets for their portability while on the go, and my favourite is Windows tablets because they're a full fledged computer that I can even install desktop Linux on (I honestly really don't like Windows), but it seems that Microsoft is the only one making tablets that has any significant market share anymore, and they seem really reluctant to try and innovate. Most other companies seem to have given up on devices that can really be used as a standalone tablet, and have settled on laptops whose screen can flip around, which is honestly annoying to hold in the tablet position because your fingers press into the keys (at least they're disabled). So did Windows tablets fail? Are they going away?

    I get that tablets are bad for repairability, but personally, just have it assembled with screws or even clips and I'm perfectly capable of replacing the battery, which is the only thing I pretty much ever want to upgrade in a device. This is why I will never buy a Surface or iPad again (they're both glued together and the batteries barely last a few years) and really wish there was better variety in the tablet space.

    Printer via LAN

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:58 AM PST

    Hey guys sorry if this is a stupid question but if i have a printer without wlan and connect with my home network via lan. can I directly print from my smartphone which is in the same network via wlan? or does the printer need to have wlan? shouldnt be a problem right since every gadget connects to the same router.

    talking explicitely about the HP Color LaserJet Pro M281fdn

    Why did older graphics cards have no shrouds?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 10:46 AM PST

    Nowadays, It's rare to find a graphics card without a fancy, over-the-top plastic shroud to give it a nice look. I noticed this taking a look back to older graphics cards (<2007) without shrouds.
