I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.

This dude specifically had a hate boner for linux because they got absolutely shredded in the server space and the only reason MSFT survived in the end user product line was because they were already an established monopoly capable of forcing and coercing OEMs to never to offer an alternative OS from the factory lol.

But yes, at least they had some actual marketing ideas and design talent and not an infinite stream of slop.

Although even Ballmer gifted us the crapshow that was windows 8 before he conveniently dipped.

tbf I got one that was trying to warn me of incorrect tax info which needs to be resolved only a month after I started lol.

Wasn’t gonna click the link but I did do a double take because they formed it really well like a proper spear phish email would.

Of course my job at some point involved memeing with gophish templates so I don’t think they’ll ever get me, especially when I’m using a proper client that lets me immediately swap to HTML and see the blocked image tracker tag lol.

Yeah they use kbdx so it works out of box for both. I think it even technically works for the original Keepass.

Haven’t used KeyPassDX much yet outside of some quick tests, but the autofill is really good because it shows up as a slim popup tab option on your keyboard where the typeing suggestions usually go.

Gonna do this soon as well. Used to use syncthing for auto photo transfers and I’m tired of Bitwarden’s crappy UI and terrible interop with autofill/autogenerate.

It’ll probably never happen due to the nature of KBDX, but I would kill to make a resilient native sync feature so that orgs wouldn’t be locked into proprietary vaults which drags you into vendor lock in when one of them starts to tank.

ZFS RAID2

I assume they mesnt RAID-Z2 but I’d like to think they actually meant a ZFS array built on top of an obselete RAID 2 of cloud accounts lol

I wonder if this just means the supply was really low.

Considering the current ebay pricing, it doesn’t really make sense for any scalper to buy it unless they think it will become some weird coveted collectors item.

Either way rip steam machine. I hope they continue to fund Proton and Lepton because it really made a massive impact for gaming on Linux.

forever game

TeamFortress 2 lol

Oh I think I get it.

You want a USB 3.0 hub that has only USB 2.0 ports for the peripherals so that all the bandwidth is used for HDMI and not the peripherals.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure USB 3.x never supported 4k at 120hz with HDMI. Only thunderbolt could achieve this nativley.

There is a way with DP alt mode which worked using some bonus display port protocol magic which is why the suggestion is to use a DP to HDMI adapter.

Actually I’m pretty sure even DP requires at least 3.2 but I would need to check.

HDMI 4k @120Hz was added in USB 4.0 which won’t work if your phone is only 3.x.

You need a hub that supports DP alt mode so that it won’t downgrade the output: https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/1dahjah/psa_usbc_bus_powered_dock_with_dp_14_alt_mode/

I think yout phone needs to support it too though, otherwise it won’t work.

I can’t find it now but there’s a reddit thread of someone who fried his Volta era enterprise GPU because dell shipped him the wrong cable that was incorrectly labeled as a Dell riser cable and not EPS (12v pins are flipped), so it burnt a hole though the card lol.

USB 2.0 supports the bandwidth of a 4k 144Hz HDMI signal lol?

The two greatest problems in handheld assistants is speech recognition and command integration.

Gemini solves neither of those, and I was already complaining about Google’s crappy assistant long before the LLM era lol.

I could be wrong, but why hasn’t someone just bothered gluing openai whisper to something like voice attack from elite dangerous?

It’s been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It’s in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.

I wonder how long they can keep the circus running though. They were obviously trying to vendor lock enterprise size businesses in before they eventually nuke the cost model, and Deepseek just preemptively slashed their cloud pricing probably knowing that everyone else will just migrate or even run on older cloud hardware which providers can sell by watt (and demand).

China might be behind on hardware, but their biggest wrench in the gears will probably just be popularizing their published LLMs which don’t require multiple nuclear powerplants to run lol.

Domain for $8 a year and 300Mbps fiber for $45 a month which snake ass AT&T keeps increasing in 5 dollar increments, so thank you for reminding me to call Spectrum for a quote so I can then call AT&T and harass them into giving me the correct price for another year.

Linus Torvalds: Nvidia, Fuck You!

We fixed the “glitch”

I guess Steam Machine is basically DOA unless they delay for another solid year and a half in hopes the AI bubble pops and the production recovers before their AMD spec becomes dated.

I actually used to hate it back in the day because it was so overused but then when I hit the Skype era, I succumbed to my friends and started spamming it along with lmao because it was easy to type on a keyboard with zero effort.

Also that one evolution extinction meme of all the dead ones like rofl and roflmao.

Rest in Spaghetti Never Forgetti lol
