See that makes me want to ask WHICH science based dragon breeding MMORPG you’re referring to. The one by “Glitchless LLC” was a joke from the get go as I understand, which is why they haven’t removed it from their website when it’s been obvious for 2 decades that it’s not going to happen. They do have another MMO with a significantly more sane set of proposed features out and it’s browser based. But I suspect you mean the one from reddit, which contained the exact keywords to get a gazillion upvotes on reddit (science, dragon, 26 year old lady) and the OP of that hasn’t posted a single comment in 10 years :(

Hmm I can open it in Europe, perhaps your specific IP range is flagged as problematic for some reason? Perhaps a known VPN IP address or something?

Ha, loved the Aurora one, clicked on it:

Welp, geography isn’t our friend today. Good luck with sales though, maybe if I ever manage to get a group together I’ll order some too.

The x090 series also are actually rebranded x080 Ti series, not a new tier above the old top tier. They had a few generations of superb performance improvements so they just sorta decided to fool everyone.

The 2080 Ti was the TU102 die. 3090 and 3090 Ti is, similarly, GA102, not 101. Same as the 80 Ti. Starting 40 generation, there’s no 80 Ti anymore.

192GB so you can run massive LLMs locally, but 512 GB of storage so a single model takes up a quarter of your storage lol

Also I believe the whole “violates unix principles” thing. the one in question:

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.

systemd just acquires more and more features. But then that was written in the 1970s. Things have changed, we have so much more going on in our computers, it’s easier to delegate a bunch of housekeeping work to a single, more centralized tool.

Using OpenRC or another init system instead means you get more fine grained control, but it also means you need to choose a bunch of utilities, whereas systemd just has a lot of them out of the box. And at the end of the day that’s just for power users to worry about, I suspect many end users will never be able to tell the difference between an OpenRC distro and a systemd distro given that both configure everything they need to use it.

I see there are still no signs of intelligent life in the good ol’ US of A.

Well for one thing “owning” an apartment is a borderline scam. You still have to rely on the actual building owner to take care of it

You yanks are doing it wrong. There hasn’t been a building owner at any apartment building I’ve lived in. The owners of each apartment, collectively, own the building. Maintenance fees? You agree upon those with the rest of the owners. Repairs need to be done? Shared decision. Someone is appointed to be the manager of the building, but that job just entails sending invoices and making sure everything is done properly, it comes with zero decision-making power generally.

I’d love to be able to not spend half the national median monthly wage on heating my home in the winter, which I live in because my ancestors built it and my ex got me in debt so I can’t actually live anywhere that would require a mortgage or rent.

My kid probably loves having over 3000 sq ft (converted it for ya yanks) plus a garden, but if I lived alone and could afford to, I’d like something about a fifth of the size.

Nvidia is probably the only company who is going to come out ahead from the AI bubble. And the more they invest, the more they make.

AMD, Intel, TSMC, as well as the RAM and NAND manufacturers are also selling expensive shovels.

Remember when Elmo laughed at the idea of Chinese EVs?

Which is funny because EVs are easier to get right than ICE vehicles and China had already been making the latter (although fairly crappy ones until recent history) for decades… And they had their first EV out, with in-house battery development, in the late 00s.

Unreal engine 6 is coming out soon and I bet it’ll be even more demanding than 5

But honestly, even when it comes to triple A games, my backlog is so big I don’t care. And when I run out of those, my 3060 ti will play just about any indies still.

€0.13/watt* here, random store I found online in my country, but it is a legitimate business, I checked that much. Not quite $0.12, but close enough and I didn’t spend much time looking for it.

Though I feel like just a few months ago I couldn’t find anything this cheap.

Either way, for me personally, my geographical location makes it kinda useless in the winter and for some months I’d have nothing to do with the excess I would produce from just a few panels - in the summer, there’s no point selling to the grid during daytime and the nights are too short to make proper use of any stored energy, you’d have fully charged batteries all the time.

Couple of months in spring and fall where things would run into a nice equilibrium though. Unfortunately not enough savings to pay for a battery. Think sodium batteries will change that over the coming years though, so I might go for it eventually.

* just noticed this is excluding VAT, so add 24% on top - but then price comparisons make sense without VAT anyway, since that varies by country. I think most US states have much lower sales tax than our VAT.

I’m definitely not. Are you?

Mobo probably has its own heatsink, given that they mentioned being unable to remove that and removing the SSD heatsink instead.

Re-read their comment. They had to remove THIS heatsink because the ASRock mobo made it too difficult to remove the mobo side heatsink, which is meant to go over naked drives

And then you have the updates! That’s fun! They sell ERPs as SaaS, but it doesn’t work like any other SaaS. The major updates break tons of shit because your own customizations will be based on upstream fields and methods that no longer exist. Not as bad as migrating to another ERP entirely, but not exactly cheap. At work, we keep support for our custom modules for longer than the ERP company itself supports those old versions so our customers get an extra year or 2 out of it. It’s a pretty big deal for them and of course great for us, helps retention because they’d have to spend more for less if they go to the competitors (on even the same ERP that is - going to another ERP wouldn’t just be a migration cost, the annual cost itself would go up too).

Even Microsoft knows Windows is dead. That’s part of the reason for the push for office365 over locally installed applications. It’s not dead as in everyone will stop using it next year, but it’s dead as in it might only have 10 years left as THE dominant desktop OS, maybe more, maybe less.

What they’re really ingrained in business with is their ERP bullshit. Migrating a bunch of users from Windows to Linux is cheap and easy compared to migrating all your data AND users from Dynamics to SAP or Odoo or something. It’s such a headache, you basically never do it in-house, you contract that out to a company that specializes in the ERP you’re moving to. Because it’s not just data you’re migrating, it’s business processes too. Bunch of custom modules usually need to be created, yay!

I’ve never bragged that I managed to install Arch (Or Gentoo for that matter), buuut let’s be honest, most people aren’t literate enough to follow directions. Complex words outside of their domain of expertise frighten and confuse most people.

But then the people who understand the complexity involved to understand the brag are precisely the people who themselves could easily install follow said instructions so it becomes kinda moot anyway.

The angry user case is gated by the human emotion capability so it never ran for omarchy users.
