More specifically, they were running a benchmark in a “”“isolated sandbox”“” (sorry, but if the computer is physically connected to the internet, it’s not isolated), and the model escalated permissions in order to look up answers for the benchmark online, which were hosted at the hugging face’s website.

Okay, I get that it’s a brand new gpu, but nobody is buying a fucking bottom-tier card to play just-released AAA games. These cards are for the League of Legends/Valorant/Roket League players of the world. Testing the card with 007, Indiana Jones, Cyberpunk… Is just stupid. That’s not what the card is for.

The correct way to do this video: play realistic games for this card, compare it against other modern cards in regards to price and performance within those games, compare also against used cards that can offer similar performance or better price per dollar, compare it in a build that makes sense for people who just want to play those games.

The whole video is unnecessarily 1 hour long, to make a point they could have made in 5 minutes. And they must have wasted hours upon hours of production on this, instead of actually making a video that could realistically inform a consumer’s choice.

This is part of the reason I have stopped watching HUB. Their video ideas are just out of the loop. This video would have been much better as an article. The video should be something different.

But capitalism operates under infinite growth assumptions, and perpetually seeks increases in value. Any dip, regardless of how much it actually affects the company’s ability to operate and generate a profit, is a problem that spells doom for capitalists.

I’ve been emulating N64 since 2006 or earlier, it’s fine. Has always been fine. For a while, smartphones had trouble with it, do to lacking hardware, but today pretty much any device should be able to emulate N64 just fine.

No way, and please don’t. Region locked keys exist so that they support Regional Pricing, which makes it so that games are relatively priced based on the economy they are being sold to, a huge reason of why Steam “solved” the piracy issue of games on PC. It works the way it does so that people from those countries can have fair access, while people from a country with a better economy aren’t able to use a VPN or something like that to buy games for cheaper.

It’s not to make it better at all, but to give it that stupid AI Photo look.

Not just one time. As someone from south-america, Argentinians are always racist against other south-americans. Playing against an Argentinian in an online match is a guarantee to hear a racist slur.

I like extraction games and I have a friend who likes them as well, we’ll usually at least try every single extraction game that comes out. We tried Marathon but didn’t buy it. Why? It was okay, but after closing the game, neither of us felt that “I want to play again” vibe, the game is just too much of the same, the only different thing is the graphics, which are not particularly that important for the type of game. But the main reason I didn’t want to buy was even simpler: I did not want to spend money in a game that very likely would be plugged off too soon. I have no faith that Marathon will be a long term endeavor, so no point wasting my money and time with it.

Really? I didn’t play a lot, around 10h I guess, but the story seemed good until that point, nothing that innovative, but very internally consistent, and I’ve been hearing nothing but praises from people who finished the game. What was “all over the place” for you?

Does box3d work with godot?

That show was fresh. I still seethe for it being cancelled.

Yes, LTT tried getting CEC to work, and at the very least, it isn’t trivial. I’d hazard a guess that someone with more determination and willing to go deeper might find a way of spoofing the signal using an esp or something, but at the very least, it’s not something you can just enable or disable with a toggle.

TL;DR: AOOSTAR’s GODY mini PC offers a Ryzen 9 7940HX and RX 7600 XT GPU for $849, undercutting Valve’s Steam Machine price, but it lacks RAM and storage, requiring users to add DDR5 memory and an SSD amid high DRAM prices. It runs Windows 11 and is larger than the Steam Machine.

Also no storage. So it’s probably around the same price-to-benefit ratio of a steam machine: lacks the smaller footprint, tighter integration (including steam controller dock built in), no CEC (if you care about that); gains better upgradability, better gpu and cpu. Probably noisier as well, considering the higher tdp.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that 16 cores is pointless upgrade for pure gaming.

Instead of buying this, I’d just build a pc myself. This is the thing these steam machine killers are not getting: the gabe cube is not made for people who can build a pc on their own, it’s made for the ones who want to have a pc-console that just works, no faffing about, no tinkering, no opening up and figuring out if the ram is seated properly or not. It’s for those that want plug, sit and play.

Also, if they delist a game you had, you can just sail the high seas easily, and there are even revival projects for always-online games that reverse engineer servers.

Yeah, I guess I have to accept that Linux will let you do the wrong thing, and (sometimes?) not even ask for confirmation. However, it seems weird to me that the default is not the other way around. Logically, every drive that is not where the system itself is, should be mounted, by default, as non-essential. The fact that the system does the opposite by default is what it baffles me.

The drive that caused a problem was part of a Jbod I had set up, to serve as the partition where my jellyfin library is located. I later discovered it was not my pcie expansion card, but the drive itself that is going bad. It has seen 2271 days of activity, and, apparently, it can’t handle being chock full anymore. After deleting some files it stopped occasionally going off. I can’t remember exactly where I got my guide from, but this one I didn’t use LLM for. I had just searched how to mount a jbod in Fedora 44 on duck, and followed the first result (which seemed okay). Thanks for the heads-up though, I’ll be more careful from now on.

However, these bleeding edges also seem to be the sort of thing that the Linux developers community should iron out of the system for better mainstream adoption of Linux. This is, logically, not how a default should be.

Edit: typos, grammar.

Thanks! I’ll do that today. I did read a lot of the journal (that was how I eventually figured out the problem), but getting to the journal was already a process. What I don’t understand is why super critical errors are hidden away in a log instead of being shoved in my face once they happen.

That’s also a trip. My keyboard is not the standard 104 american layout, because I’m not American, and while using GRUB I had to discover what keys actually stood in for symbols like / and | because it had reverted back to standard layout.

No, but I will now lol

I’ll look into it! Fstab seems like… something.

My gf was complaining her laptop was slow, even though she bought it new last year and it wasn’t a cheapo. I went to take a look, 8gb win 11 laptop, hammering more than 7 gb of memory while doing literally nothing after being turned on. “Maybe there’s something wrong” I cleaned up her startup apps, uninstalled some stuff that she never used (and came as bloat from samsung), did some optimizations… Restarted, and still at 7+ gb of memory use. Yep, it’s fucked.
