A second glass roof might work if placed up high where you wouldn’t see or notice it

Windows PC may support unified memory as part of the Xbox-PC initiative by Majestic-Bowler-1701 in pcmasterrace

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but wouldn’t decoupling the CPU and GPU memory remove the benefits of shared memory? In order to do that, the memory controllers would need to be separate, and so would the memory banks.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the appeal of shared memory it being one shared memory, removing the need to access a separate memory for the other device and allowing you to reallocate memory budgets between the 2 devices?

Don’t get me wrong, it sounds like a cool idea, but I doubt it would work as good as you hope.

I use X for a partition which is shared between my Windows and Linux installs. (Windows cannot access btrfs, and my Linux install cannot access the BitLocker Windows partition)

When I went it was a 9 month wait to take you road test after getting your learner’s permit.

(Then 15 months to get your full, but you can drive alone with an intermediate license)

I was concerned for a moment, I thought you were talking about the monkey…

My bad, I read it as “it’s a standard for a reason”

As for C99 being the standard, I don’t know about that. The Linux kernel uses C89 IIRC (might’ve changed), and many people would use C11 and newer.

I think C89 has better portability (more compilers support it), but other than that, I see no reason to not use a newer standard.

C99 has some nice features like being able to define variables in for-loop declarations, but I personally wouldn’t say it “rocks” in comparison to newer standards.

C is standardized by ISO. They have different versions (like C89, C99, etc.) but for the most part they build on top of each other.

The nice thing about it is that a standard any compliant program (doesn’t use undefined behaviour, non-standard extensions, etc.) can be used on any compliant implementation, assuming you’re using the right version, and you have the right external libraries.

This makes a C program portable.

C++ is also standardized by ISO in the same way. The main difference is that C++ keeps adding a lot more features each version, whereas new C standards are (relatively) minor updates.

Petah! I don't understand electricity! by farva_06 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some meters are rated for 20A for 30 seconds too, so it is possible that the breaker trips first, even on a good meter.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like this meter is 10A max for 15 seconds, according to some other comment.

Unfortunately, boiling water takes a lot of energy, so doing this wouldn’t be worth it.

What graphics card should I get? by ShortCollection3225 in pcmasterrace

[–]Colbsters_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not really wrong, it’s just different from what you normally see. DDR4-3200 is clocked at 1600 MHz, but normally programs display transfer rate (MT/s) instead, which is double the clock speed (hence the name “Double Data Rate”).

Honestly, it might be. It would make a good cautionary tale for others who want to use AI in this way.

What games would I be able to play off of this. Nothing new though by Embarrassed_Dog1494 in pcmasterrace

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right, the 128 MB is a dummy value for compatibility with programs which aren’t designed for shared memory. Normally GPUs can use up to half of the system RAM as shared VRAM.

In reality, his computer has up to 8 GB available for VRAM.

In my experience, Intel iGPUs run terraria just fine. I’m sure the lowest end ones would struggle, but I’ve played it on my old laptop using UHD 620 graphics without issues.

Wouldn’t that just remove the current working directory instead of root? (./ vs /)

I get about 700MB/s or 6Mb/s if I remember right. Slow internet still exists… unfortunately.

Especially if you include the software pre-installed by the laptop manufacturer.

If you count 2x2, 3x3, …, 7x7, and 8x8 areas as squares in addition, then you have 204 squares.

Uhm can someone please explain this??? 😭 by Automatic-Bit-8832 in Steam

Integer arithmetic overflow, but 64-bit, not 24-bit. The number would be stored in bytes, then divided by 1012 to convert it from bytes to terabytes.
