Tiny company steals AMD's thunder and challenges Nvidia with old-tech PCIe AI accelerator that runs 700B LLMs locally, sipping just 240W thanks to decade-old DDR4 and 28nm chips
>Skymizer has unveiled a PCIe AI accelerator that challenges both AMD and Nvidia ... using old technology.
>The HTX301 card can run language models with up to 700 billion parameters ... while consuming only 240 watts of power ... using older 28-nanometer chips and standard LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 memory instead of expensive HBM or GDDR solutions.

Some backup apps that use VSS are reporting backup failures after installing win11 KB5083769.
Microsoft Update Warning—Windows 11 Security Fix Breaks Backups (generic)
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud: Backup fails with "The backup has failed because Microsoft VSS has timed out during the snapshot creation." after installing Windows 11 update KB5083769 (technical - this will apply to any affected backup app).
The interesting part of this is the date of that report and its only reaching bloggers and tech media news in the last couple of days. The first media mention was three weeks ago.

Winserver data/block deduplication has been around since Winserver 2012, it appears not many people use it.
Out of curiosity I did some testing on it found it not that efficient in deduping data and it is not an inline dedupe, it runs as a scheduled task.
