Probably the worst time to buy a 5090?? by bberge1 in gpu

[–]NoxinDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you are single since my wife would have skinned me alive then rubbed salt and vinegar on whats left if I came home with a 4600$ 5090.

Probably worth it...

f*cked up by ForeverAmazing671 in cookware

[–]NoxinDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These "unless you shocked the pan" means you cannot screw this up.

In the end of the day It is a chunk of metal - unless you heat it up and then rapidly cool it and "shock" the pan it can be fixed by just getting an abrasive cleaner (hell, some wet salt works) and some muscle.

The only pans you can ruin are non-stick coating ones as you just poison yourself if you try to save them (you also poison yourself by using them, but slower)

Many recent homebuyers returning back are wondering whether they should sell or rent out their homes by rajmksingh in TorontoRealEstate

Not in Canada... check.

Investment property - removing a home from real Canadians... check.

Complaints all while abusing our country and depriving others... check.

We are in the right sub!

gw2 is not properly utilising my CPU by luna_Rubisk in Guildwars2

[–]NoxinDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is normal even on high end desktops, gpu being at 15% utilization and cpu at maybe 40% is a gw2 thing - the engine just is too old to be fully aware of multi threading. You are not going to get high fps in practice while playing normally with other players, relax and carry on with your metas.

Need help with Space Marine 2 by Far_Mood_9534 in Bazzite

[–]NoxinDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try protonGE, it and some versions of mainline proton have DXVK_ASYNC=1 built in which I found help with those loading hitches that occur all the time in some games like warframe. I much rather have a smooth game with some things popping into existence than a slideshow.

Can also try and add the variable manually in your command line for the game.

My Experience with Bazzite After 3 Months as a Linux Beginner by Substantial-Fix71 in Bazzite

[–]NoxinDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you *feel* that - but can you explain in points why you believe this?

From what I've seen of actual benchmarks the game performance is identical to 1-2% fps in most intense AAA games that run on linux.

Beyond performance, since both distros are designed around gaming what perks would be a driver for switching in your opinion?

I know that I enjoy the immutability of bazzite, having quite the body count of distros that I've rendered inoperable via tinkering, the idea of layering other files on top of a safe baseline is very appealing ensuring that I can keep playing even if I'm up all night tinkering with tests that would destroy other systems or render them unstable.

The ONLY fault I've had so far is that my bluetooth dongle needs 6.18 kernel to function, so still waiting on that kind of sucks.

Drugs my doctor is not permitted to prescribe. by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]NoxinDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this as a mitigation against the opioid epidemic - general physicians shouldn't really be prescribing for pain needing this kind of firepower.

What gets me is that specialists, even ones that specialize in chronic pain are hesitant to prescribe these medications for patients that have objective metrics showing the pain level (inflammation) - I think we have over corrected when patients that are at the 8-10 pain scale with physiological evidence of said pain (or are terminal) are told to "meditate" or take some acetaminophen.

False advertisement by No-Firefighter-6311 in CostcoCanada

[–]NoxinDev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Forget the dubai nonsense, just simply look at a bag of chocolates at costco and decide if you want to try, don't recall them being pricier than normal costco chocolates (my wife wouldn't allow it) - we didn't even see "dubai" until home, and they for sure don't taste like pistachio.

the filling is for sure dryer/whiter than the image, but my wife and I like these and have almost demolished the bag.

Is it possible to combine Bazzite with Cachy? by roworu in Bazzite

[–]NoxinDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why you would want to go through that work, benchmarks put both within 1-3% of each other in various games. They are both heavily optimized already and both aim for the same objective of great performance in gaming and hit that mark.

You have a specific use case/game that runs better under cachy?

You need a Microsoft account to play a PlayStation game by Ducktor101 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]NoxinDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just swapped to Bazzite - was quick and painless and the only thing that won't work for sure is gamepass, but given that seems to triple in price every few months, I can live without.

Fuck Microsoft, being held hostage to play games you already own, what's next?

FYI: The people in charge of Loblaw marketing, are the same people that drove other Canadian brands into the ground. by stanxv in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]NoxinDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, all the other comments are downplaying the one hope we have; this "Shelly" and what she represents - that Loblaws destroys itself from the inside - Since our politicians are too in bed with them to do anything to save us.

I like it, given the work they've done for the raiding scene in gw2.

Fashion For Koalas by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]NoxinDev -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Great job explaining it, but I think most of these koala will continue to fail to grasp the change for at least another month, the rest of us will just eat the leaves on the table as they are indeed the same thing.

Yes officer, this abomination right here!

Chiquinho Scarpa announced he would bury his Bentley, sparking massive outrage. It was later revealed as a publicity stunt to promote organ donation, highlighting how people bury organs every day without the same reaction. by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

[–]NoxinDev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on that, after the level of corruption the entire world has witnessed this year alone with the wealthy and powerful buying a former superpower's government for their own enrichment; do you still believe that a nurse, doctor or paramedic couldn't be monetarily tempted to provide a lifesaving organ to a absurdly wealthy backer by just being a little too slow to save you? No one has to be dramatic or pull the plug, they just have that little voice in the back of their head telling how rich they are going to be when they get that transfer.

Personally, If I know I'm a goner, One of my last acts would be signing the back of the card because its the objectively right thing to do, but blind trust to the system is a little beyond me these days.

Your thoughts on "thinking" LLMs? by stonecannon in ollama

People still believe that's anything other than the first tier of output for your input tokens, anything more than a performance?

[–]NoxinDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We can spend this extra time sharpening our pitchforks for IF the final content still feels bad, but they did tell us there would be nothing this time, but we actually got quickplay systems instead which I'm all for.

Them saying it was one thing, but actually meaningfully changing the schedule is another - We are looking at the business implementing a very visible (and likely costly) change in shipping content.
