zurohki,

If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it’s easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it’s the same thing except much less powerful.

zurohki,

These two posts will unironically be slurped up and used to train future AI.

zurohki,

Okay, but they’re still calling it GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK DELUXE EDITION.

zurohki,

It also calls all the customers who don’t want to be locked out of the product they paid for ‘fickle’ and brought up gamergate out of nowhere, so I’m honestly not sure what sort of agenda they’re pushing.

zurohki,

That many hours spent to pull a stunt like that. And I thought people who played healers in MMORPGs were powered by hate.

zurohki,

Well, Nvidia initially didn’t intend to support Wayland at all. They’re being dragged into it kicking and screaming, one step at a time.

zurohki,

Praise be to the mighty algorithm.

zurohki,

I think we’re going to see major NPCs get their dialog hand-written and background characters get AI dialog.

You could have random shopkeepers ramble on for hours about how their kids are doing in school or trouble they’re having with a delivery company or whatever topic. Nobody’s going to write that, but we could AI generate it.

zurohki,

Can confirm, I haven’t even thought about buying an EV since I bought an EV.

zurohki,

Modern batteries last a lot better, and there’s a huge difference between an 80 mile EV that’s lost a third of its range and a 300 mile EV that’s lost a third of its range anyway.

zurohki,

PHEVs have their own disadvantages, though.

They’re a lot more complicated with higher maintenance costs, and also often don’t have an EV drivetrain that’s fully independent. They’ll kick on the engine when accelerating, going uphill, for cabin heating, etc. Most of them don’t just use the engine as a range extender.

PHEVs only make sense so long as batteries continue to be expensive. The complexity of manufacturing the dual drivetrain and plummeting battery prices is going to see PHEVs become more expensive than gas cars or long range battery EVs in another year or two.

zurohki,

I see your sunflower sumos and raise you a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.

zurohki,

Well, Toyota’s claims about batteries are intended to convince people not to buy EVs yet. They’re going to be SO much better real soon now so just buy another Toyota gas car and think about EVs next time.

It’s just another flavour of the anti-EV FUD Toyota has been spewing for a decade now. They’re also saying that hydrogen is the future and that gas will always be 70%+ of the car market, so you have your choice of anti-EV FUD. Consistency doesn’t matter when you’re running a disinformation campaign.

zurohki,

If there’s something really important on that disk, don’t do ANYTHING, just unplug it and hand it over to a data recovery company.

If there isn’t anything really important on there, go ahead and try and do it yourself.

Paying $100 to a data recovery company can save you a ton of headaches if it has the only copy of your thesis on there and you mess it up trying to fix things yourself.

zurohki,

Depends on what they actually need to do. When it’s a drive that’s working and they just have to image it and run some recovery software it should be pretty cheap.

Clean room repair of dead hard disks is a different story.

zurohki,

IIRC that’s how /r/thedonald started, shitposting trolls slowly being crowded out by actual crazy people.

zurohki,

If only there was some way to take that link to the article and use it to find out what the article says.

zurohki,

I don’t get it, Peter Dutton isn’t premier of Tasmania.

zurohki,

I switched my laptop to Wayland about three years ago. AMD graphics, normal DPI 60Hz screen, doesn’t really do more than run a web browser.

My gaming desktop needed more of those troublesome edge cases hammered out - freesync in xwayland, app DPI scaling in xwayland, etc. I only switched it last year.

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! (gitlab.freedesktop.org)

Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

zurohki,

I’d argue the root cause was Nvidia insisting that X11 was the future, they’d never support Wayland, and refusing to participate in any of the design processes. As a result when they got dragged kicking and screaming into supporting Wayland, nothing that had been developed without Nvidia suited their hardware or drivers.

They first tried to throw their weight around by forcing EGLStreams on everyone, failed, and they’ve been scrambling to catch up ever since.

zurohki,

So… What happens when it turns out he’s underwater on all his properties, and they sell for less than he owes on them?

zurohki,

Hey, have you guys heard about this Linux thing?

zurohki,

Well, we’ve now got Steam Deck turning your portable console into a full PC, just connect a keyboard. Also no need to buy a Steam Deck version of that game you bought on Steam ten years ago, it’s already there and probably runs great.

It might be that proprietary, single purpose gaming portables are going to lose to more flexible portables even if smartphones are too limited to do the job.

zurohki,

Sudden onset defenestration. There’s an epidemic over in Russia.

zurohki,

Before birth, obviously.

zurohki,

But it’s okay, he forgot too.

Dark humor is like food. Not everyone gets it.

zurohki,

With its ageing user base, I’d say that it’s more like Facebook needs a hip replacement.

zurohki,

On the other hand they’re bouncey, trouncey, ouncey, pouncey, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.

zurohki,

My favourite part of Morbius was when it became a meme because of how bad it was, and then the soulless robots in the movie industry who make the decisions noticed there was a lot of talk about Morbius on the internet and re-released it so it could flop a second time.

zurohki,

My dad used to claim he was just resting his eyes, and then one time his sister got the nail polish and painted his toenails red.

zurohki,

Would… would people do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

zurohki,

Remember to check that you didn’t sign off with “Kind retards”.

zurohki,

If you want to make a greybeard feel old, find a floppy disk in his cupboard, pick it up and ask him why he 3D printed a save icon.

zurohki,

There doesn’t need to be a value return - if it’s fun. Unfortunately, it seems designed specifically to be brand safe for future advertising instead of appealing to real people.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

zurohki,

Sponsors are the biggest argument for not getting YouTube Premium, in my opinion.

You spend money on YouTube Premium and still have a bunch of ads, so you need to use sponsorblock, and if you’re using that just use an ad blocker too.

zurohki,

uBlock Origin works on Firefox mobile.

Also, remember that you can make uBlock filters for random bullshit like Fandom’s side bars and suggestions, not just paid ads.
