Truth to be told, there's a lot of terrible js out there, and some of it is mine.

The big question is how are they going to do it without giving the vultures root access

Well, they pretty much announced this months ago. The cycle continues as usual.

> I don't trust samsung for anything

Funny thing to say on a tech site but, of course, not everyone cates about hardware. Who makes better RAM than Samsung? Micron?

I guess that site is serving completely different graphs to me and you.

Or one of us sees what they want to see.

It's not always faster than the 3090, let alone "significantly", except in very specific resolutions and games.

here's a review from a traditionally pro intel and nvidia outlet: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-f...

What a deal. Where did you get it from?

far right, far left it's the same gestapo crap. going after porn is just a pretext. the real target (i think) is having dirt on people

beebeepka··on First tunnel to a magma chamber could supercharge geothermal power
people used to say that exact same thing about climate.

Yes, Earth is deep. So is our species' hunger for more. This scenario has played so many times but surely this is different! It's "limitless" energy. Eat the hype and ignore (well, downvote) all concerns.

beebeepka··on Are roads the biggest driver of ecological destruction?
I have a couple of stories

1. Last Easter my wife and I were travelling across the country. We drive reasonably slow, mostly about 100km/h. I guess it was a special time of the year because we must've killed at least several thousand insects in the first two hours alone. It was non stop. One car out of thousands on the road. Made us feel pretty bad.

2. Second story is about four years old. Travelling on a brand new highway around Easter. I guess wildlife was not used to the road because the asphalt was - i kid you not - littered with squashed snakes and birds. I couldn't believe what I was seeing - several kilometres of straight road covered with untold amount of bodies. One of ugliest things I have seen.

Roads are absolutely horrible and I very much hate travelling because of stuff like this. I think some countries don't have such problems problems because they barely have any wildlife left.

It's a tragedy and barely anyone I know cares enough to even consider what we are doing.

beebeepka··on I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
Cannot relate much. My 5800x3D and 6800XT deliver an outstanding Linux gaming experience. I don't play EA games, though. I do play some fast paced shooters that don't need VRR since you can manually cap fps to your liking. Also, it was my understanding that gnome has support for adaptive sync.

May i ask what driver features are you missing? I only want some decent fan control instead of relying on random scripts off github. AMD has to release some sort of GUI panel for sure.

Thanks for the link but surely you are not implying this is what the general public over there is being fed
beebeepka··on What makes cheddar cheese taste so good?
Ice cream used to be made of polar cows milk until the 50s. The world of food is truly bizarre.
beebeepka··on Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Very interesting. I wonder what sort of (available) CPU would be ideal for such a setup. A 7800x3D or 7950x. Also, was there any hit on the GPU side?

I guess your media conveniently skips the part where joining NATO means destroying your own long range weapons. This is what they forced Bulgaria to do and they made a very big deal out of it.
beebeepka··on Details on Xiaomi EV
My problem with Xiaomi is the absolutely crazy data gathering.

I visited one of their mall stores of theirs and literally the only product (out of many) not requiring an app was some sort of shaving machine. A goddamn pole fan requiring an app!

On the other hand, all modern cars seem to be pretty bad at this. Tesla cars appear to be a privacy nightmare.

Damn it, man. I don't think I've seen worse defense in the last decade.

The Iraqis must be relieved to hear that yes, their country was destroyed but the person who started it did some random good thing in Africa.

Oh, I do agree there are significant differences between the ways countries conduct themselves. It's just that i do hold the EU and the US to higher standards because that's what they have been promoting.

False advertising is a very serious offence in my book. Wouldn't move to Russia unless they change course.

Everyone is engaged in propaganda. I called this guy out because he only named the usual "bad guys". You don't have to talk to me like I am 12 but since you insist, i am going to repeat it: everyone is doing it.

That said, the ones doing it the most are those with most resources. So, the US and us vassals working for our "partners" across the Atlantic.

beebeepka··on You've just been fucked by psyops [video]
Sure thing. They reduced Iraq to rubble for democracy

I wonder why you single out the usual boogie men that US propaganda uses.

it's blowing my mind one of the (let's face it) best countries in the world treats people like shit for daring to help themselves. How is it better to be a big pharma slave for life?

Tears of the kingdom going all the way down to 10 fps is hardly playable. Even movies - a completely passive experience - suck at that frame rate

> To what extent is the US subsidizing the low cost other countries like to brag about?

None whatsoever. It's preposterous to even consider it in a serious manner.

beebeepka··on What are farm animals thinking?
Allowing other animals to be like glorious humans would mean they deserve better. Can't have that. Story as old as the world
