Available as of 13/Trixie last year (gnome 48/kde 6)!

Should be available OOTB as of 26.04 … At least with kde!

If you’re not playing the fancy games with all the ray tracing, and you aren’t playing at 4k, the 2070 is still just fine in terms of power. I definitely didn’t need the 9070 XT. I would have been just fine with a 9060xt, 9070gre or 9070. I did want to bump to 12 or 16gb of memory. And I scored a good enough deal combined with credit card points to jump all the way to the 9070xt. This one will follow me for another 6 years at least unless some paradigm shift happens.

I will say that you’ll enjoy more frames at a lower power draw if you don’t crank up your settings on the new cards.

But it was really all of the polish that finally wore me down. Spent a year playing with the outermost 10% of the screen flickering sometimes in some games. I never could figure it out. Got tired seeing the HDR box in games knowing I had monitors that supported it but a card that broke font rendering with it enabled. Tired of some games randomly crashing because suddenly the drivers broke again. And the 20xx series is the next one to lose support entirely.

Truly happy for you!

I was originally multi booting LTS Ubuntu to meet reqs for work with Arch for gaming and everything except sleep worked pretty well. The Wayland cutover sucked for years as they fixed one thing and broke another. HDR never worked correctly.

Yes and no. Objectively $650 plus tax is a lot of money. I intended to go with the non XT for $80 less. And I probably would have been pleased with a 9060 or 9070 GRE.

But I paid $540 plus tax for the 2700 super just before the pandemic. So with inflation, this felt like the same kind of hit. And I wasn’t planning to replace the rest of the underpinnings either. 3900x, 64gb ddr4 3600, x570 motherboard).

I really just wanted shit to work (again). The frame rates are a bonus. It feels like coming home. And this coming from someone who remembers gaming on Linux before proton.

For sure. Reversing the percentages here makes this far more difficult. I just felt we needed to shittify this post a little.

Great for calculating tips!

Let’s see: the bill was $138.72, so I just need 138.72% of 20. And we can subtract 100% and just add the 20 back at the end, then convert the percentage to a decimal so (.3872 * 20) + 20 = 7.744 + 20 or $27.74.

Easy!

The antidote seemed pretty harsh

Mine was more like 470%, so yeah, I can believe that’s the average increase.

I could squint a little and make a case that this represents a CEO who is about to spend a shitload of company money on AI (or any anti-human venture) rather than employees.

Not if you’re lactose intolerant! But then it’s also a shit post. A violent and painful one.

In the late 90s (or maybe 2000) in the US Midwest, I remember paying $0.79 a gallon, or $0.21/L. With the exchange rate then, it works out to £0.13/L. So yeah, it was cheap. I filled my 15 gallon tank for the cost of 2 hours at my just above minimum wage job.

I probably spent hours of my youth fixing these.

People who moved around and swapped the phone from ear to ear constantly were the usual culprits. If you twist one way, you have to twist back. Ignoring the reconciliation just led to this mess.

Really no different than a hose or extension cord.

Looks like Volvo to me.

Rather, the Hawaiian law is based on the fact that in the United States, corporations are created and given their powers by the charters of the individual states. Indeed, corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated in the state’s corporate charter. It further specifies a range of penalties—including losing the right to conduct any business in the state at all—if they do.

I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.
