A month ago as of tomorrow I got fed up with Windows and googled "gaming Linux", picked Garuda because it was near the top result and I like the FFXIV Garuda, was wiping my Windows drive within fifteen minutes of deciding I was done, and have been gaming with my 3080 since. Haven't touched X11 because Garuda defaults to Wayland and I don't even know the difference between them, and so far everything has just worked

I'd be really impressed if anyone still gamed on ATI.

I'm not that guy but yes and Nvidia

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they're meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you're just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It's an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips (www.tomshardware.com)

In another attempt to convince us that "AI PCs" are somehow fundamentally different from the PCs we're already using, AMD has officially dropped support for Windows 10 from its new AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series platform. This can be observed by glancing at the official AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 specs page, which now only lists 64-bit...

That's a bit harsh

You don't even need to read the article, just the summary already on lemmy

There's generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there's two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn't a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot

I actually like the taste of pure cranberry juice, but it's too expensive to buy just for drinking so I mostly end up drinking half the bottle while I cook holiday meals after I've started the cranberry sauce

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a 'user...

But if you buy from GOG, make sure it doesn't have DRM, because GOG has been selling a few games that have DRM for a few years now

This is a pretty maintained list, and even if I disagree with the inclusion of some things because all you're missing is cosmetics, it is pretty easy to argue that "complete game offline" should include all content of that game, so I'm not gonna start a fight about it

Pi-hole first commit June 8, 2014 (first public release June 2015) and Pi 2 released in February 2015, so not quite 10 years on either

mbfalzar ,

Apologies if that sounded like an admonishment of you lol, 2015 definitely seems like 20 years ago and I'd probably just say 10 at this point too

I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it's the only method of control

My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I've had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn't allow that either

mbfalzar ,

Windows 10 definitely has but they don't come back once you delete them, which is garbage but less garbage

For recipe tracking and "what to buy" I've actually had good success with https://grocy.info/

Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot

YouTube Red content can only be seen with Premium, but not only does Premium not have new exclusive content, Premium features don't work with member videos if you're paying for channel membership

Just as an uninvolved third party, I'm trying to figure out how NVMe entered this response to a question about a SATA to SATA form factor converter

mbfalzar ,

My desktop has a wireless card in an m.2 slot (as do those of my wife and both children), one of my laptops has a SATA m.2 as its only drive because it only has a SATA m.2 slot, another laptop has a SATA m.2 as the scratch drive because it has one NVMe and one SATA, and "the only things you plug into an m.2 slot right now are nvme drives" is such a wild take that I'm baffled as to where it came from

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

On fresh installs before running the debloater scripts there's plenty of Try Candy Crush and it's already got Office 365 pinned and accidentally clicking that takes you to the store page, and there's some other shit I can't remember by name
