  • Looking to upgrade, compatibility question

    Jump

  • Oh i am already running Nobara as a daily driver for a year now, which works fine with Nvidia cards (i expected more issues, but was pleasantly surprised at my smooth experience stability- and bugwise). But the 8 GB VRAM of the card is pretty reliably the bottleneck now - i can monitor usage while playing, and VRAM usage forces me to reduce quality in a lot of games, or live with degraded performance.

  • I switched over to Linux a year ago, i chose nobara, which doesn't have any obvious issues with my setup - they even made a small GUI tool for switching between open and closed, stable and beta Nvidia Drivers with a few clicks, which is a lot more comfortable than anything i experienced on windows. So i can attest that if it's done right, Nvidia cards do their job just fine under linux.

    The limiting factor is my VRAM, which simply isn't enough for 1440p if i want games to look good too. reducing the Resolution is doesn't look too good :-/

  • Thanks for reassuring me! The more i upgrade this system, the more i am scared to make a misstep - this pc has grown a lot over the last year, and the GPU switch is the last thing i can reasonably change to max this AM4 platform out, everything else will need a new Mainboard/CPU/Ram, and with the current DDR5 prices this is simply not a sound financial decision.

  • I didn't know about that site, thanks! it even mentioned both the necessary bios update for the cpu and that one pcie 4x slot gets deactivated when the M.2 slot is used - i knew that, but i'm impressed they implemented that.

    That makes me pretty optimistic about my chances, thank you!

  • i think most 11 y.o. are smart enough to realize that there is something wrong (apart from his mother missing). Might take a while to realize the full extent of the situation, but that's a sure fire way to make sure dad dies alone, and he deserves it.

  • So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?

  • Be honest before inviting them, that if they behave that way they should stay away. Any suicidal ideation should be discussed with their psychiatrist. There is no shame in cutting ties with toxic people.

  • Where does this notion that oil&gas are dead dinosaurs come from? I know what you said is the truth, just as coal is the remainder of the huge forests that existed before bacteria could break down cellulose, but i would really like to know where this wrong factoid comes from - it's literally everywhere

  • Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes.

  • I learnt most in school (in austria tho, american schools have been defunded so hard its a miracle the US hasn't fallen into pieces ... yet), if i had to pin it down mostly in language classes (German, English) because of the literature i was exposed to and the discussions we had about current events, philosophy because its philosophy and art classes because of the teacher and interpretations of art pieces in context of the time they were created. Also my biology teacher who taught us to keep an open mind and a lot about the scientific method.

    The important part were the teachers, who didn't just let us memorize stuff, but encouraged us to ask questions.

  • I started out on .world; then i found dbzer0.com, which aligns a lot more with my values (i personally am a socialist who also likes the idea of communism, but in the end i am simply against concentration of power and exploitation), and then i switched over to anarchist.nexus so i could use piefed instead of lemmy itself; the last move was a consequence of the lemmy devs being shitheads, even if they create good software. I still use the dbzer0 account while on my phone, tho.

    Why is there always one?

    Jump

  • yeah, i can only offer my perspective, which is austrian - and it seems that those discussions were kept away from my surroundings; in our politics right-wing politicians surrounding the FPÖ were the only ones who criticized jews in a public way, and they did it because they are literally populist antisemites, rising from what the denazification didn't eradicate. I myself became aware of the apartheid only a few years back, and like i said, i wasn't so sure if it wasn't facebook-style propaganda.

  • I think a lot of that has to do with fear of criticizing israel because for decades, the only ones who did so were neonazis; if someone ranted a few years back about Israel or "the jews", you could be 99% sure about their political orientation. It takes time to overcome that, especially if you don't reexamine your take on political issues on the regular, what few people do. Hell, it took time for me to overcome that and i really try to inspect issues from all sides before deciding my stance of things.

    Having said that, there aren't any excuses anymore. even if you thought in the beginning that it was all lies and antisemitism, the overwhelming mountain of evidence of the IDFs behaviour cant be refuted anymore unless you have an agenda.

  • Dogs vs Cats

    Jump

  • That's more attributable to the aggressive fuckwits who tend to those dog races when they get a dog, not to the dog races by themselves. If you get yourself a pitbull and treat and train him to be a little princess who likes cuddles, you will get a little princess who likes cuddles. Aggressive dogs are 95% owner, 5% dog if we talk about pets and not feral dogs.

  • People with 8BitDo Ultimate 1/2 Controllers, how is the ergonomics?

    Jump

  • You can also do fun stuff like make a button autofire when doublepressing and holding it, or configure a incomplete push of the trigger to aim down gunsights and fire when completing the push, while directly doing a full push skips the aiming and hip-fires. Or activate the gyro while holding the left trigger and touching the right analog stick (which has a touch sensor!) for looking down the sights and gyro-aiming. Or completely change all mappings after pressing a button (for example when the button changes into a menu which needs a different config).

    This article gives a good quick overview over whats possible without overdoing it.

  • The fun thing about the trackpads is that you can make them work like a menu for whatever buttons/hotkeys you want, so they are nice even if you don't play 3rd person games, and can also work like a mouse wheel; there is no limit on what you define there, so keep in mind that those aren't mere trackpads at all, just like on your steam deck!

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • I never leave my home without headphones, but often i do not even have music on, just using active noise cancelling to reduce the outside sound. For me it's all too loud and hectic, too many people talking and cars driving. So even as i do as you do, it has more to do with reducing stimulation than increasing it.
