Running multiple virtual machines might be one use for all that RAM. I completely agree about going with a NUC (or similar x86-64) unless power consumption is a concern. I stopped buying SBCs once Intel platforms started competing on the low end.

Why is their logo a ripped off hand holding a fleshlight?

Because they can't afford to date? Hopefully this unionization helps with that.

PlasticExistence ,

Oh so YOU'RE the owner of ObsessedWithPlasticExistence.com

I'm flattered!

PlasticExistence ,

Talk like Yoda, you do

PlasticExistence ,

I wonder if there's beer on the Sun...

PlasticExistence , (edited )

Yeah, I've read about his refusal to let people enjoy it. That's a shame as it's one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

Keep circulating the tapes!

PlasticExistence ,

That dog has dirt in its ears

PlasticExistence ,

I would trust the Ferengi more than Boeing executives at this point.

True to the OnlyFans stereotype, most of the chats were overtly sexual. I had to wade into several prosaic fantasies about babysitters and office blowjobs, some of which included laughably florid professions of love for me. I couldn’t help but ponder how disappointed these men would be if they could somehow see me sitting in my home office, sipping hibiscus tea as I typed out commands for them to manipulate their genitalia or deposit their semen on certain parts of my body. The most surreal moment came as I noticed the faint sounds of my daughter and her puppy watching Bluey together down the hall, right as a subscriber was waxing poetic about how much he wanted to eat a macaron from between my ass cheeks; the juxtaposition made me question the entire course of my life.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

As the enshittification of everything gains momentum, I could also see this as an intentional "oops!"

But we are talking about HP. They are now and always have been completely incompetent PC makers. I had friends back in the early 2000s with broken HP desktop computers that I refused to work on because they were the hardest to get working again.

PlasticExistence ,

What you say!!?

PlasticExistence ,

Is the problem all the spotted dick pudding?

PlasticExistence ,

If you're also a woman, this may work!

It makes me happy to read this same basic message repeatedly. I've been a Linux enthusiast since the late 90s, but back then it definitely felt like it was never going to be a mainstream replacement for Windows due in large part to gaming.

I know Valve isn't getting nothing out of their investment, but all the same I'm so appreciative that they didn't abandon their Linux efforts after Steam Machines didn't catch on.

PlasticExistence ,

Well, no offense intended, but that is cynical. The only way for enshittification to hit Linux would be if only one group controlled it. When IBM/Red Hat discontinued CentOS, the community immediately moved to fill the gap with AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.

That said, yes, things can always get worse. I don't think Linux is immune to having problems, but not on the scale of what's happening with Windows with their Copilot garbage.

PlasticExistence ,

My understanding is that if you only add modules on top, those can stay closed source. It's possible the AOSP portion of the stack is still stock and untouched.

PlasticExistence ,

Which may or may not be BS intended to save their reputation. I hear you though.

PlasticExistence ,

No joke, a cybertruck passed me on the road during my drive home today, and it's even stupider looking in person than in pictures and videos. I laughed out loud at the genius who paid actual money for it.

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

It ran the OG Game Boy too

They're great for avoiding jealous husbands who come home early unexpectedly though

PlasticExistence ,

I have no complaints. I think a light touch is the right way to go with moderation. Thanks for all you do!

PlasticExistence ,

Wow, nice! I started on 6.1.

How dare you! Hannah Montana Linux is serious business.

Excellent! Should we invite them to setup shop here?

You should! They're meant to be crushed and snorted.

Was that the style at the time?

Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’ (www.theverge.com)

Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’::Sony has cut its sales forecast by 4 million units for the fiscal year, down from 25 million to 21 million. It comes as the company missed its sales projections by a million.

The games don't usually come out on PC until a significant amount of time has passed since the console release. Not everyone wants to wait, and often those games are poorly optimized on PC.

I stopped buying games on PlayStation since I got my Steam Deck, but there are occasionally exclusives that will entice me back. The next FFVII chapter is probably going to be one such game. I played the demo last weekend and enjoyed it immensely.

PlasticExistence ,

Not at 4K they don't, not on the Steam Deck anyway.

PlasticExistence ,

I never said I was. The PS5 runs at that resolution. The question was asked why would anyone buy a PlayStation if the games find their way to PC. I gave reasons why someone might want to buy a game on PlayStation anyway. Higher resolution than the Steam Deck is capable of (handheld or docked) and ray tracing are good reasons why. That's in addition to the release delay and their sometimes bad performance on PC.

PlasticExistence ,

But your original question was not if they will play on Steam Deck, but why someone would choose to buy those games on PlayStation instead of PC. Aside from the original reasons I laid out, higher resolution is another good reason why.

As an example of when games ported to PC are not as great as PlayStation games, here's an excerpt from an article about The Last of Us Part I:

Even Naughty Dog itself had severe issues getting the game to run at 60fps, which required maximizing the CPU and GPU with a triple buffered rendering pipeline, and suffice it to say that porting to PC is an even greater challenge than that PS4 port.

Many of the problems at launch would cause crashes – often. I counted 12 separate crashes from starting the game until meeting Ellie, and this was on an AMD GPU which, unsurprisingly, this game favors. Nvidia players had it worse, or at least based on my testing with an RTX 2070. The main cause stems from memory limitations as you exceed the VRAM requirements, which then bleeds out into the shared graphics memory within your system RAM, causing hard page faults, reduced performance, and increased CPU demands alongside other memory related issues.

Troubleshooting my Ex's PC for 2 hours only to realise I didn't install the standoffs is an experience I can't get on console.

Hey, have some faith in yourself! I'm sure you can fuck up your console hardware just as well as your ex's PC!

When Linux spoons me in bed and whispers in my ear that it loves me, that's when I feel really safe.
