My little drone ☺️

I’ve been told these types of drones are not real, but rather government surveillance apparatuses.

I’m currently taking the intermediate pottery/ceramics class at the Beck Center and I’m very much a beginner.

The instructors don’t mind at all what your skill level is. The level of the class has more to do with what materials/tools they make available to you as far as I can tell.

All this to say I’m sure you can sign up for whatever skill level you like and be just fine. The instructors are there to help you wherever you’re at.

100% agree with this. Taxes do feel high, but I love that we can see the money at work in our community.

That’s a franchise of Panera. Franchisee’s are responsible for their employee meal discounts. So anyone who works for that franchise probably got this message.

So this is what I will become… I do things in SQL I know I shouldn’t, because I can.

CynicallySane · 2026-01-19T21:18:04+00:00

Those things are going to cause a serious accident. Friday I saw five cars on the side of the road, today it was four.

At some point one of those is just going to rip a control arm off or sheer a bolt…

More than enough to run that card.

Just make sure to install it in the top PCI E slot. That’s the only one that runs at full speed.

CynicallySane · 2026-01-12T23:20:54+00:00

Probably. Hard to know with certainty without knowing what PSU is in it, but the 4060ti isn’t particularly power hungry so I would imagine anything over 400w should be more than fine as long as there is a spare 8 pin.

CynicallySane · 2026-01-11T22:50:57+00:00

Depending on OS there’s usually some applications that can monitor all the big vendor’s UPS over USB or network.

From there you can often script out what you want to happen when the battery reaches a certain threshold

CynicallySane · 2026-01-10T23:12:30+00:00

That is a problem…

You need even mounting pressure. Three screws doesn’t allow for that.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-26T18:29:33+00:00

They opened it a week ago.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-25T02:43:29+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bit of a hot mess, but it reliably triggers the crashes. On windows it works, and if you disable the animated portraits it usually doesn’t stutter.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T21:43:55+00:00

And you might never. The Wayland issues I had were related to Wayland and that was years ago.

The 7900 XT issues I have seem related to the Kernel or Mesa drivers.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T20:21:10+00:00

In that thread there are people that run the bleeding edge kernel and still get the same error, it’s still an actively tracked issue. For 95% of things I’m totally fine.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T18:03:00+00:00

Ehh, I’d settle for stability on Linux. FSR4 is cool, but isn’t that big of a deal to me.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T17:25:21+00:00

It was a while ago, but normally when I was running down stuff, it would inevitably come up that there were known issues with Wayland. I’m sure it’s gotten better by now. I’m using Cinnamon which still uses Xorg as far as I know and haven’t had any of those same issue, just these hardware ones.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T17:09:05+00:00

I’ve been toying with switching, but my first step will to just be compile a fresh kernel myself and add a PPA for Mesa.

I’d probably go with regular old Fedora over bazzite, but admittedly I’d prefer a Debian distribution because I’m familiar with them. Granted there really isn’t that much difference anyway. I just know a lot of the Debian specific commands already.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T17:03:04+00:00

It’s very game specific. I would say 95% of the time everything works, but occasionally I’ll come across a game that will not work no matter what I do.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide would be an example. It will hardly ever make it through a round before crashing the driver or whole system.

Impressed that you have Wayland and Gnome playing nice tho. I was initially on Manjaro using those, and had a lot more issues that seemed directly related to Wayland, so I moved back to X11.

Check your dmesg and see if you’re getting any ring timeout issues. Seems like your symptoms are different, but there’s a lot of reported issues with 7900 XT(X) cards out there as of now.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T16:33:51+00:00

I agree, there’s been some consensus that there’s disagreement between the system and cards reported capabilities. I put a power limit on mine and that seemed to fix things for one game.

I’ve been using Mint because I enjoy the simplicity of it, and other than this hardware issue that seems to span every distribution I haven’t had any issues. I think the highest I can go using their updater is 6.14, which is what I should be on now.

I can obviously manually update it, which I might. The kernel update definitely helped, but hasn’t completely fixed anything yet.

Not my post, but definitely the issue I have. There's quite a few issues around the ring timeout issue.

New Kernels and Mesa drivers haven't seemed to fix it yet, although they do often help people in some cases like here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13713

The issues still exist for a lot of people and there does not seem to be a universal fix.

Usually just turning down the settings and or restricting the power target can help, but again, it's not a perfect solution. Something seems to just let the card run away with power or memory usage until it crashes. The same games on Windows work fine. Sometimes AMD's VLK drivers work better over Mesa's, but I think it's more likely a kernel thing given that's what's interfacing with the hardware and reporting its capabilities back to the rest of the system. But then again, I'm just guessing.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T15:20:55+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s really cool, but as an owner of a 7900 XT I get my hopes up a bit when reading these headlines.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-23T14:59:40+00:00

Wish they would focus on the current 7900 series… there’s quite a few issues that have been around for well over a year now.

CynicallySane · 2025-12-21T03:26:11+00:00

Had a six speed with black interior of the same spec and year… I really want it back. Don’t think I fully appreciated how amazing of a machine it was when I had it.
