Dennard scaling – Wikipedia: finally learned why since 20 years, maximum CPU frequency stagnated at about 4 Ghz
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/29
Since around 2005–2007 Dennard scaling appears to have broken down. As of 2016, transistor counts in integrated circuits are still growing, but the resulting improvements in performance are more gradual than the speed-ups resulting from significant frequency increases.[1][10] The primary reason cited for the breakdown is that at small sizes, current leakage poses greater challenges and also causes the chip to heat up, which creates a threat of thermal runaway and therefore further increases energy costs.[1][10] Since 2005, the clock frequency has stagnated at 4 GHz, and the power consumption per CPU at 100 W TDP.

PowerShell: playing around with Get-PnpDevice filtering with -Class and -Status
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/29
I while ago I was playing around in PowerShell with Get-PnpDevice (which got introduced in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019):

Needed a binary paste bin since GitHub gists and GitLab snippets cannot even contain non-picture small binaries
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/25
Most of what I share is in text or picture form but every once in a blue moon I need to share small binaries publicly in a way mere mortals can use.
Since neither GitHub gists nor GitLab snippets support other binary files than images*, and most Pastebin sites are text-only I queried [Wayback/Archive] binary pastebin – Google Search which got me to [Wayback/Archive] Binary pastebin | boltblog.
That in turn pointed to [Wayback/Archive] Pastebin (paste.c-net.org) which has a full page of help, including this important bit:

Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24
Very cool web site that I only discovered last year, with the clever name: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Drop a font!
Fonts aren’t uploaded,
they stay on your computer
Back then I used it to investigate some properties of SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) fonts as sometimes editing a PDF is easier than manually entering/transcribing it in MuseScore.
Of course you can use local font tools, but this is far easier for occasional use.
The beta can do even more at the risk of bumping into bugs: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Note the colour matching of the text around the circle with the fondue background image.
Oh: it is open source too, written mainly in JavaScript, CSS and a tiny bits of HTML and Python, based on Vue.js and npm, and available as parts in the repositories of [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue · GitHub:

Today, very briefly, Tweakers.net leaked the WHY2025 badge: a Konsool/Tanmatsu remix with two ESP32s, a LORA module, screen, keyboard and sensors
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24
:strip_exif()/i/2007644484.jpeg?f=imagegallery)
The leak was short enough for Google to index the imagery and this text:
WHY2025 nam het zekere voor het onzekere door een ESP32-controller, een lora-chip en een kraakhelder scherm in zijn badge te verwerken. Tweakers …
Edit 20250727: two days later the page got reinstated without in their “Gathering of Tweakers” portion of the site a clarification why it was taken off-line for two days. It is still at the same URL, so I re-archived it: [Wayback/ArchiveBad] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule (need to re-archive in Archive.is as their IP got blocked)
The page now is a nice 404: [Wayback/Archive] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule
Not sure why the page got retracted, as the specs got released on LinkedIn a month ago at [Wayback/Archive] 🚀 Officially public launched: the WHY2025 Badge! | Jelmer Lopes Terto:
