Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it? Using it as a NAS will use up more power than just buying a mini PC and using that. I calculated the costs and the energy savings would pay for one in two years. My NUC uses 6-7W idle.
I’d use an old PC as a NAS but turned it on only on demand, when it was needed. Which does hurt its convenience factor a little.
Note: talking about desktops.
I think it depends on screw design. GShock also have screws and they just don’t get dirty enough that you couldn’t unscrew them.
bring back screws
He’s not worried though, so we know where they stand on how good this ‘AI’ is.
supplier guaranteeing all the hardware is supported
This is really harder said than done. Its implications are often quite deep and misunderstood.
The simplest example I can give is razer backlit keyboards and mice, which gamers seem to love. Razer’s software makes them truly shine and that software just isn’t available on linux. Open source alternatives exist and they do the job, just not as well as official software does. I do hope windows gaming refugees wont be swayed back when they discover not all hardware will “just work”, or at least work just as well as on windows. With Bazzite being a “gamer” distro, I wonder if they made any strides here, though I highly doubt it, else we’d see it propagate to other distros.
In my own experience, I was sad to see no software support from canon, which meant I couldn’t transfer files from my camera to my PC via wifi. Its a small price to pay, but it needs to be payed non the less.
His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies
Wait, what? How was he forced? He literally couldn’t take that people don’t like his product? He would have died if he didn’t do it?
Nah, price killed PS3 and with Windows, OEM’s eat the cost anyway. If its cheap, people will buy it. MS isn’t making things harder for developers, they aren’t increasing the price of windows, they offer support to orgs, they offer a whole suite of software for them too, they aren’t going anywhere. They’ll lose out some of the consumer market, but thats not where they get their money from anyway.
I found this. Its a Raspberry Pi in a brick case with a screen and a 4G modem.
Whats the word for when you don’t really fully like someone, so you don’t vote for them, thereby giving the edge to the other guy, who you don’t like even more?
The green tick may give the impression that the game runs just as well on Windows. In reality, there have been issues with CS2 on linux recently. Even though its officially supported, It may look like Valve doesn’t have good enough testing to actually ensure that. I tried it on Fedora KDE with wayland and nvidia and it crashed after one match (if not in the middle of it). Similar issues have been reported on the issue reporting repo. It may be an Nvidia+Wayland issue again (like there have been so many times before).
You know, Linux is great. I love it. I run a lot of things on it. But it can be a frustrating experience. Simply put, its not a one to one replacement and it will simply not fit into some peoples lives like windows has up to this point.
My personal experience with linux desktops (some arch flavors and fedora) combined with Wayland and an Nvidia card have been pretty abysmal.
On prior Fedora’s and Endeavor, I had Firefox crashing constantly, no clue why. Crashes reduced this week with the release of Fedora 43 but its still not stable. This is something I’ve not experienced under windows ever since they rewrote firefox like… 10 years ago now?
With KDE plasma, its system apps like settings crash. I’ve not had to restart my PC with the physical restart button under windows for quite a while now. But when using KDE, the whole thing freezes and will just not respond.
I’ve tried playing some CS2 literally today and couldn’t make it through a match without a crash.
Vendor software for hardware devices (drivers) is missing linux support a lot of the time and while I appreciate open source alternatives, they just don’t cover the edge cases I had. As an example: razer rbg lighting effects stacking is non existent on linux. Open RBG works… but its not good enough.
I’m sooo ready to use KDE Plasma on a daily basis and really want to, but the stability I want is just not there yet. If you have simple use cases, don’t stray too far onto the edge, possibly have older hardware and don’t need Wayland or don’t use Nvidia, I’d definitely recommend it. I use Mint on my 14 year old laptop just fine, but its got an old ass nvidia card, uses x11 with cinnamon and I don’t game on it. Stable as a rock. I use Debian (headless) on my home server and it hasn’t crashed with a 3 year uptime.
Desktop linux on a gaming machine… I’ve just been disappointed.
Sorry for the dump. I’m voicing my frustration out of love for linux, not out of hate.
Matrix solved this with decentralization and federation. Don’t tell me its not possible.
.NET is FOSS. You’re welcome to contribute or fork it any way you wish. If you think they are committing crimes against humanity, make a pull request.
One of the pipe forks for me. One apk, simple to install, update and use. Also no accounts so the platform is used very differently. With pipe, I search for a video or playlist and piss off when its over. There’s no customized feed of videos I might be interested in, so I don’t get swallowed into it.
Japan is nice to visit, not so nice to live there (there’s better and more easily approachable places). Racial discrimination is not new in Japan and their laws don’t indicate of any changes like western societies have been implementing. You aren’t getting lynched, but expect housing refusals, difficulties finding jobs, social exclusion, and stereotypes.
This is a gross overgeneralization though. If you find like minded people, they’ll accept you. Shit, if you grew up playing Final Fantasy, chances are, your peers there did too and any stereotype is quickly forgotten.
But in general, don’t be surprised when you don’t get served beer cause you ain’t Japanese.
A fuel pump is colloquially called a boschpump here. Even when its not made by bosch, they’ll tell you your boschpump is bad.
Since building an internal combustion engine that complies with the regulation, is fuel efficient and fast is really difficult for them since they lack the century of experience that the other manufacturers have.
My 2c:
You’re right they are going to become the EV king, but its not because they lack experience making ICE engines. Chinese vehicles with ICE engines are being sold on the European market and have been sold there for a while now. They weren’t able to out compete other manufacturers on the EU market because other brands have been well established and their lower prices were not significant enough. What I mean is: you aren’t going to disrupt a well established and saturated market with the same product.
The shift to EV presented an opportunity of equal ground on the EU market, in fact on worldwide markets. Domestic makers were not fast enough to adapt and so Tesla was able to gain a significant portion at the start. Other makers caught up soon but weren’t able to offer EV cars for the same prices as they traditionally did ICE cars. Now you have an unsaturated market with highly priced products. Chinese companies can exploit that. They don’t even have to disrupt any markets, they just need to enter them. Demand is there, supply is lackluster.
Its also an opportunity for new companies to start up and start picking at the old guard of 50+ year old car manufacturers. This is where you’re right. New companies don’t need to develop an ICE because its complex and difficult, making an EV is easier. Its just ironic the old car companies weren’t able to adapt. Was it their old ways? Bureaucracy? Oil investments? I don’t know.
Its to hype up stock value. I don’t even take it seriously anymore. Many businesses like these are mostly smoke and mirrors, oversell and under deliver. Its not even exclusive to tech, its just easier to do in tech. Musk says FSD is one year away. The company I worked for “sold” things we didn’t even make and promised revenue that wasn’t even economically possible. Its all the same spiel.
Yes, investing in non AI companies and avoiding indices which include AI. Lower risk/reward, more passive stance. Shorting is higher risk/reward, active stance against it.
Ahh classic, punishing paying costumers while pirates don’t have to deal with any of this shit. I guess the beatings will continue until profits increase!
They only have DDR4 :/
