Sailfish OS: Sony Xperia 10 III
At the moment, you are just too spoiled when it comes to smartphone hardware for open operating systems, because now the Sony Xperia 10 III is also available with official SailfishOS support. Official support means that you now also get the one-time paid variant with Alien Dalvik support (which means running Android/APK apps) as well as predictive text and Microsoft Exchange support from Jolla in addition to the free variant. Here, SFOS seems ...

A:M Rendering Benchmark with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x
Today I’ve got my new Ryzen 9 5900x CPU along with a new motherboard (Asus Prime B550-Plus) and a BeQuiet! Dark Rock 4 and replaced the corresponding components in my previous build. (previous components: Asus Prime B350-Plus, Dark Rock 3, AMD Ryzen 7 1700) Rendering speed went up about 1.7 times in single-core rendering. For now, I can’t conclusively answer multi-core (about 1.5x, but that should increase significantly when A:M Netrender ...

A new CPU: My new Ryzen 9 5900x
Man was that a struggle. For a few months now since the new AMD Ryzen 5xxx series processors came out, the prices for these processors have been just ridiculously high. The 5900x, for example, came out in November 2020 and was supposed to cost $549 (MSRP) according to AMD. You can usually convert that roughly 1-to-1 into Euros to estimate the price in Germany. That sounds bad, but it is usually not as bad as you think at first, because these ...

Continuum Gaming: Replacing a Smartphone Motherboard
The latest special episode of Continuum Gaming could also be called "How to save a life", because here I show how, after a problem with the partition editing of my smartphone and an empty battery, I exchange the motherboard with another one from a smartphone of the same type where I produced a spider app years ago. As a result, the smartphone now works as before, if not better, because I have combined the best parts of both smartphones and ...

My battle against HDMI to DisplayPort and back... or the day I tried to connect my Wacom Cintiq to my new graphics card
I bought a new graphics card a few weeks ago. (a Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700XT to be exact to achieve better frame rates for VR... which was only as lala as it turned out, but anyway: now I have a much more powerful GPU... doesn’t hurt) Unfortunately, I didn’t take a close look before or thought: adapters are still available and I neglected what kind of connections the graphics card has compared to my "old" graphics card (a Sapphire RX570 Nitro+). ...
