Reminder that it will never be over unless was actually take action to beat them. North Korea, for instance, is into its third generation of dictator with no end in sight. The idea that the regime is doomed and we just have to wait it out is pure wishful thinking.
…my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily…
That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
Flat CRTs were probably even heavier than curved ones because the glass has to be thicker to hold vacuum with a less structurally-efficient shape.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) “everlasting,” eh?
Radeon 780M iGPU for a $2 K price (I am assuming this is American style list pricing, even if they are London based) seems like a unattractive proposition.
It’s deceptively good. The 96 gigs of RAM is unified memory, accessible to both the CPU and GPU. It’s not great for gaming, but it punches above its weight running large AI models.
That said, for $2K I’d be looking for something with a Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 and 128 gigs of RAM in it.
That’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.
Pathetic compared to a 150+ MPH train. You don’t even fucking realize how much of a backwards, loser country we’re in.
I’m seeing the same sort of behavior in !fuckcars, and that community does (or at least should) have a pretty strong sense of what’s appropriate.
The kicker is, the stuff being posted is appropriate — in fact, often higher quality than the memes some of the established users post — so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what I (as a mod) should be doing about it.
You’re saying “'Abolish all money” is anarcho-capitalist propaganda?" LOL, that’s significantly stupider than anything I ever expected to read. Congratulations. 🤡
Quit posting ancap propaganda.
The way this sort of thing would actually improve is by government regulation.
For any machines that are too inefficient to be worth continuing to compute with, you could at least save the power supplies for electronics projects. I’ve got some 12V addressable RGB Christmas lights being powered by an old ATX power supply, for example.
Sure, so does organized crime. What’s your point?
Copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws are all entirely different and have almost nothing to do with each other (don’t be fooled by the property-rights-hating shysters who try to gaslight you into lumping them all as “intellectual property[sic]”).
Trademarks and patents don’t have the same kinds of interoperability exceptions that copyright does, and you can’t claim to “support HDMI™” without licensing rights to those in addition to whatever copyrighted code you might need for the software side of the implementation.
I’m a little disappointed, but not surprised. This thing is designed to be used in the living room hooked up to the TV, after all.
The fact of A/V consumer electronics standardizing on HDMI instead of DisplayPort is kinda not Valve’s problem to solve, as much as I’d like it to try.
Valve tells Ars its “trying to unblock” limits caused by
open source driverclosed source corporate megalomania issues.
FTFthem. Open Source is not the problem here. The problem is the HDMI Forum being evil.
Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”
Inb4 your comment is cited by some anthropologist in a research paper on meme history centuries from now.
Why the state of the industry is shit, in a nutshell.
