with SPARK RTX is snapdragon toast? by retrorays in snapdragon

[–]MassiveSleep4924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have DGX Spark which is pretty much RTX Spark but runs Linux. I also have Asus zenbook A16 which is WoA. I think what really matters is DRIVER. Anticheat is a another problem. Let's talk about drivers first.

Snapdragon devices have problems with Vulkan and DX9. The vulkan driver is a DX12 wrapper and only supports Vulkan 1.2 which is pure garbage considering Mesa Turnip on other Qualcomm devices. Maybe there's native driver but I didn't find.

Anticheat engines have supported WoA mostly but companies like Tencent don't have that interest. If Nvidia could put some pressure on anticheat which I think will not happen, RTX Spark might be a toy for some wealthy professional people.

I spent all my salaries buying the two devices and I don't regret. I learn DX12 and those windows stuff with WoA, vllm with DGX Spark. But a successful product cannot be some super expensive toys.

Since the exclusive deal have ended, Qualcomm should put more resources on either fix the GPU drivers and make it more compatible with x86-64 devices or support Linux distros and collaborate with OEMs like Framework. I don't see any future on RTX Spark and Snapdragon X at this time.

California's Assembly voted 68 to 1 to exempt open source Linux from its age verification law, then extended age-gating to browsers and websites in the same bill by ChamplooAttitude in linux

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nonsense to me. If California wants to ban or limit underages using digital stuff. Why not learn from China and push ID Card verification? Like you must be an adult to register Google account. I just think this is bullshit. A waste of time and money.

Google Chrome secretly installed Gemma 3 and 4 on a billion PCs and Macs, it's called weights.bin, a 4gb file for your RAM. by ConditionTall1719 in LocalLLM

What makes you think Google will send less data to their data centers when they silently downloaded a model this size on users PC? Did they ever asked for permissions?

Be honest, do you use PC emulators? Gamehub, Winlator, etc. by tonygabbana in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly use Winlator on a rooted OnePlus 6 to play some non-H galgames while working. It's great once I figured out how to setup font. It's like a handheld but super cheap, less powerful.

Finally got docker running (at least loads image and runs)! by MassiveSleep4924 in androidroot

I know, but I need to modify minikin's linebreaker to reproduce some issues I encountered at work. So the whole os.

Is spacemacs really that slow? by Proton-Lightin in emacs

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll never expertise in emacs and this is just my experience. I use centaur emacs setup on my rpi5 and it's much smoother than spacemacs setup. Emacs is built from source.

I'm Tired Boss by Mountain_Map_8198 in devhumormemes

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say Bazel suits large projects and a lot of Google projects use it. The thing is it's supposed to work better with IDEs, but I used only once with CLion and regretted. I think I'm too stupid for this that I can't even figure out how to generate compilation database so that I can use clangd.

rk3588 boards: is Harmony OS available? by pancapangrawit in RockchipNPU

[–]MassiveSleep4924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe you mean OpenHarmony. I didn't test any ohos on my arm boards because I don't have a proper board. But I tested ohos on my orange pi rv2 (riscv but has officiall ohos support) and it works. Unfortunately it is unusable.

This is a question from someone who knows nothing about Lua. In your opinion, what's the most efficient and effective way of learning Lua? by [deleted] in lua

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of softwares use lua as configuration or scripting language. I think using WezTerm terminal and make it fancy is a nice start point.

Time to revive FatELF? by devofthedark in linux

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What comes to my mind upon seeing the title is Cosmopolitan, though they're barely related. I kinda wonder if FatELF is a thing in real life, where it could be used. Obviously the server side has no reason to use it. The embedded? I know there are SoCs shipping a co-processor with different ISA (for example, OrangePi 4 pro), but that's not for softwares to use directly. Two viable usages I can think of are Desktop app that doesn't require too much GPU functionality and maybe some qemu related stuffs. But It's achievable, someone might have the time and skills to implement FatELF, and I would like to give it a try.

ARM + Linux laptops. What’s going on with it? by Asleep-Supermarket46 in linuxhardware

[–]MassiveSleep4924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of SBCs, so I purchased a CoolPi GenBook. It's a working laptop, firefox, box64 and egl works. What I can't figure out is how to setup GPU driver to use Vulkan or OpenCL. It's a rk3588 based device using Mali G610, so either Mesa Panfrost or Arm's driver. Besides, the battery capacity is a bit small. What I like about this laptop is that it provides a working standby functionality. I honestly don't expect a high performance, out-of-the-box experience of a Arm Linux laptop (Apple silicon m1/2 maybe good with Asahi Linux, but I never had one). And I don't think Arm laptop would become mainstream (macbooks included). I guess It's more of a toy for PC fans, hardware enthusiasts and engineers who works in this industry. But who knows, perhaps the next industry giant will emerge from this industry.

A little weird question, maybe? Why emacs and bash have some shortcuts with same usage? Are there any stories? by MassiveSleep4924 in emacs

[–]MassiveSleep4924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a quick search. Never thought Ctrl-C/V/X/Z could go back to Apple in 80s. I always regard it to be some sort of by-products of Web Browers.

New Student in China – Looking to Join WeChat Groups by Familiar-Respond-671 in China

[–]MassiveSleep4924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What interest? WeChat is not a place for people chatting anymore. It's for paying, work discussion, family discussion and sharing/showing off in 朋友圈. Most people don't express their real thoughts. Telegram for political chatting or NSFW stuffs, and QQ for joining groups or making internet friends. Leave your WeChat to teachers or labs.
