  • I’m a Windows User (Hello, there are dozens of us)

    My laptop is Kubuntu (KDE+Ubuntu)

    My college laptop was Linux Mint

    My main PC is Win-10 LTSE.

    Why: I need exceptional anti-cheat support because I play competitive online PvP shooter games religiously, and Virtual Desktop (VR Streaming Application) doesn’t run under Linux.

    Should I think about not doing that and install Bazzite instead?

    Well there’s the problem, huh?




  • I had everything in my cart.

    I was waiting for Black Friday.

    I get an alert saying the RAM in my cart was unavailable.

    I’m thinking, okay, maybe they’re out of white RAM, I’ll just do black.

    The $200 kit in my cart was now $1,200, but worse yet, everything but the slowest RAM was out of stock.

    I decided, fuck this, fuck them, and I bought everything but the RAM.

    A few days later, I told my friend my troubles, he says: “DUDE! I HAVE SPARE DDR5 in my closet!”

    I tell him: “I will pay for shipping, fair value of the RAM, and 20% extra for your trouble”

    The moral of this story is fuck these greedy bastards, you can train your 10T models but please leave gamers alone; they are a tiny % of the demand for DRAM chips.

    P.S: Pay the kindness forward, help your fellow friends with any spare parts


  • Nope. A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered

    Imagine you had infinite money and no consequences

    I mean you could like— build entire city size data centers right?

    But this infinite money goes away if you’re not building them

    So your choices are to build something that you don’t need or to have no money

    You see, humans were not very evolved or adapted to their planet, given their own social structures

    I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

    Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

    At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

    The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

    AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

    As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

    You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?

    Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.
