The nature and scope of the request.

Either Funko is lying or their “brand protection partner” is lying. Also, what the fuck does Funko have to protect? The only thing they actually created was those beady little eyes they put on everyone else’s IP.

Nah, I think this should tank them as a company. Once a scammer, always a scammer.

A PSU with an efficiency rating, like 80 Plus, will be more efficient than that PSU, even near 100% load (which it wouldn’t be usually).

It’ll work, but in a few years those cables will be full of dust.

Why did you put an 850W power supply in that? You could probably put a 650W that’s much nicer for the same price.

They also allow you to wear blue clothes!

Good. It sucks when companies make you always have to get the latest and greatest hardware if you want the new features that, it turns out, run perfectly fine on the old hardware (once someone hacks it).

But the code that loads other code (launches an app, switches to it, etc) needs to be running on the same CPU, afaik.

The libraries would probably be easy. We’ve already got x86 and amd64 libraries on the same machine, but the kernel I imagine would be awful. Would two kernels have to run on the same machine? What about memory access? What about the scheduler? Would it really be more efficient than emulation? For every x86 instruction, there is either an equivalent instruction or an equivalent set of instructions for ARM.

That sounds like a nightmare to code for.

I feel like if ChatGPT were the only LLM on the market, they’d have a real path to profitability, but it’s not even the best LLM on the market. And the open source models are nearly as good, meaning the vast majority of people who need an LLM can run it on their own hardware.

It’s kind of like trying to make a profitable business out of offering a special sauce that isn’t as good as your competitors sauce, and is barely better than the free sauce from Taco Bell. Oh and it costs you millions of dollars to produce a single bottle.

I take it you’re not good at stealth.

Other than ray tracing, those are all gimmicky. You should buy the card that can run the games you want to play at the resolution you want to play them at. During the RTX 3000 vs RX 6000 generation, AMD had substantially better price to performance for everything except ray tracing. Now, that’s changed, and AMD is a much less appealing deal.

Nice

Yes, indiscriminate bombing is a war crime.

A few months ago, I would be very upset about this, but the game kinda got old a while ago.

No joke, I’ve been looking to get a mini PC, and maybe a Steam Deck would suffice. It’s cheaper and comes with a screen and inputs.

I love that this is an article… a text article.

Because either money or cult like following.

Remember when Google+ had billions of users because Google counted Gmail users as Google+ users?

Why is that disappointing?

PC is superior in many ways, and console is superior in some others. It depends on what you value. The only reason my wife plays on PC is because I helped her get everything set up, but she didn’t need any help at all to play on the PlayStation. If you just want to play games and don’t care about tweaking things or getting the best graphics, consoles are better because they’re simple. I like to tweak and tinker and get the best graphics I can and play with mods, so I’ve always been partial to PC.

Cool, so the worst part of modern search engines has been made into its own standalone search engine. Very neat.

Cool, I can charge my car in just 2,680,000 years.

I use an Anker Soundcore, and it doesn’t. Not exactly premium, but I like it.

Up to a certain extent, yeah. The faster an image appears on the screen, the sooner your can perceive it and start to react. But it’s a diminishing return. The difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS is perceptibly much bigger than the difference between 60 and 90. Beyond about 180-240, it becomes faster than any human alive can perceive. Even 144 is fast enough for nearly everyone to reach their theoretical peak performance.

The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

He’s addicted to the Microsoft flavored kool-aid.

This is definitely against their ToS, so I would advise against it. That said, do you have any friends or relatives who might be interested? That’s less likely to lead to any negative consequences.

Btw, your original username will always be tied to the account. There’s no way to change that.

As soon as I started doing that, I hopped distros.

I love how there is an entire group of people who think it’s perfectly normal to “fight” the company that makes the OS they use.

(This message brought to you by the Linux gang.)

Still not enough to hold all my porn.

Am I the only one that didn’t really see this as such a bad thing? Like, it was not released software. Asking someone to refrain from making a negative review of your unreleased software seems reasonable to me. Like, maybe it should have been worded differently, like don’t make a negative review based on unfinished or buggy gameplay, but the underlying idea doesn’t seem that bad. They’re not obligated to let anyone test their pre-release software.

It’s the first move to making it normalized. It’s the “toes in the water” stage of advertising in your OS.

Oh, I would love that. Self hosted voice assistant is like the panacea. Mycroft was awesome at first, but it never really panned out.

The 3090 has 24GB. Yeah, 6GB is too small for a lot of things. Even 24GB is too small for some of the models I’ve tried.

They’re all pretty good. Even the Intel cards are pretty good now. I guess, what’s most important to you? If you want maximum compatibility with games, go for Nvidia. If you want better price to performance, go with AMD or Intel. Although, if I were you, I’d wait until AMD and Intel’s next gen. Both are coming (relatively) soon (probably before the end of the year), and will probably be a lot better than what’s out now.

One caveat, if you use or plan to use Linux, Nvidia can present some difficulties, so avoid them.

Actually two caveats, if you plan to use hardware encoding, like you’ll be streaming on Twitch while you play games, avoid AMD. Their hardware encoding is pretty trash. Both Nvidia and Intel are much better.

My current lineup (I know I have a lot of machines, but my wife and I both play games, and I do AI workloads as well):

• RTX 3090 (mostly for AI)
• Radeon RX 6700 XT (great card)
• Arc A380 (for transcoding, but I’ve gamed on it, and it’s great)
• Radeon RX 6600 (my main card, just because it’s in my living room HTPC, running ChimeraOS)

That looks like Grand Theft Auto 5. I believe the car in the screenshot is the Dodge Corolla XS.

I would bet good money that their OS is spying you and me and everyone.
