I'm not sure the exact type of panel it is for this Toshiba. All I can find out is that it's listed as a Cinespeed LCD panel.
"Toshiba's Cinespeed LCD panel features a 10-bit video processor, 60Hz refresh rate and an 8ms or less response speed necessary for cleaner high-action"



The pixels on the Toshiba looks like an IPS panel (I forgot to turn off the image cleanup on the cell phone)
I do not see any spacing between the pixels.







Again I forgot to turn off the image cleanup on the cell phone camera so it looks funky. And of course how the camera
deals with colors. But still gives a good idea.

About 1 inch from the panel




About 6 inches from the panel

A peek into the new Generation of CPUs. Quantum Chips.
You would think Intel and AMD would be leading in all this.

Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.

All the world’s current computers operating together can’t do what a one-million-qubit quantum computer will be able to do.

I won't pretend I understood it all, but that's pretty insane. The article addressed the combination of quantum computing and AI, which was one of my first thoughts.

"Most of all, quantum computing could allow engineers, scientists, companies and others to simply design things right the first time – which would be transformative for everything from healthcare to product development. The power of quantum computing, combined with AI tools, would allow someone to describe what kind of new material or molecule they want to create in plain language and get an answer that works straightaway – no guesswork or years of trial and error."

"Make me a human-only virus that is 100% lethal against those not vaccinated, easily transmitted, with a week of presymptomatic spread followed by death five days after flu-like symptoms appear, persistent for years in the environment, resistant to UV light, and which can be aerosolized and delivered via a stealth long range missile system. Also design the missile system."

Great.

There's still one major hurdle to all this quantum computer stuff anyway. The temperature.
This technology only operates on the millikelvin temps. Talking approaching absolute zero levels.
The Majorana requires 50 millikelvins above absolute zero.

I was told it's the coldest place in the universe, almost -273 Celsius . Even the universe itself is not that cold, with its -270 Celsius.

Quantum chips have been around for a while, but what matters here is this new Topological Core architecture. Sounds promising.

We are so cooked

[boredjedi]

Quite the opposite ⛄ 😄

Right now even that chip still needs: "Majorana 1 operates at approximately 400 degrees below zero. This extremely low temperature is necessary to maintain the superconducting properties of the materials and ensure the stability of the qubits."

I'm hoping something clicks with all this research and something completely new and unthought of crops up from it.
Something that can operate at room temperature. I wanna be able to play games at least 5000 fps minimum 😄

Next time it does it again on the Laptop too I'll take a shot

There's no ethernet connection on the laptop it's all wifi only
The desktop is ethernet connected even though it has built in wifi.

My Laptop since yesterdays Windows 10 update has been popping up nag screens about the end of life in October.

[chuft]

Ugh not looking forward to that. I have an update pending.

Yeah an epic pain in the ass

Is there any way to upgrade now without an account? Or to turn off OneDrive before it hovers everything off your drive?

Just some more expanded info

No, you don't have to buy Windows 11 if your Windows 10 reaches end of life on October 14, 2025.

As long as the device meets the upgrade requirements from what I understand. I'm never logged in with the laptop to MS
and I still get updates on Windows 10. Not sure about the upgrade yet.
