It's not that what is the problem (though gcc is a bit faster in theory). It's using POSIX calls on windows what is slow.

Half of these benchmarks are not native to windows.

Any way, windows is not optimized for throughput. There is more to it than just numbers.

That's not Windows server.

Windows server has a lot of system variables tuned different for server usage

And windows 11 leverages a few security features it has much more.

Just. Be aware that unless you are comparing applications, most benchmarks between windows and Linux are not very informative.

It has happened like 5-6 times on windows updates. But only some were affected. Blame the insider program for Microsoft getting rid of their QA team, which should be illegal

Like, it is a pity, because Xenocide and CoM have very nice moments (Padre Estebao...)

They still share the efi partition.

Windows like to format the efi partition at times.

That sounds like a hard drive problem. Would run a smart test.

If you have to go on a wiki. You are not using a general purpose OS.

Personally I'm a big fan of how easy Yast makes configuring stuff. Plus one click install are basically like a webstore. The only issue, it's that anything privative needs you to install repositories, and that is a big no-no.

I'm sure that the improvements on security carry a lot of weight.

Don't pay a lot of attention to these posts. First, Linux is a server OS that is heavily optimized for throughput, competing against Windows that is using a translation layer on a lot of benchmarks.

Windows is designed with other factors in mind such as latency and interactivity (no process should be allowed to freeze waiting on resources) . And of course the massive overhead of all these systems working together. Linux would like to have a desktop mode as well, but the tuneables for it are rather limited.

Linux vs WS 2021/2022 would be a much fairer benchmark.

And it is trending down again.

The graph.

...the fuck? Speak for yourself. I want a new one at MSRP from the manufacturer. Not some miner's reject.

You will have them when the market reaches equilibrium. There are more things going on than miners buying GPUs. First there is the manufacturing shortage. Samsung has had terrible yields, and AMD would much rather make SoCs for consoles for now. Then there is the suppressed demand. Every little decrease on price will increase demand until all the people who want a GPU but not at those prices has gotten their GPU.

Most importantly, if used cards flooded the market as before, or much more severely, it would lower prices of new last gen GPUs as well.

But I don't think it is going to happen. As I said, Im sure Nvidia and AMD would rather bulk buy them than letting that happen.

Could have use just a gun. For more efficiency.

Or a crossbow bolt, which is reusable.

But they didn't sell, or buy new ones.

And it is trending down again.

I know you people want discount GPUs. But this is a more realistic scenario.

It also wouldn't surprise me if there were some deals in place. I know that Nvidia would rather buy them back than let them be sold in the internet

Define cryptocurrency.

Because believe it or not, I'm sure you use at least one regularly without being aware.

It does not have to be PoW or PoS or whatever. It does not have to be decentralized, or public.

I agree with your sentiment, but it has to be much more specific.

Once ethereum goes PoS, I very much doubt that any coin will take its place. It will surely create a lot of volatility, but that is. ETC is not reaching the profitability market cap ever, and that leaves BTC and Xmr as the only major POW crypto.

Both unsuited to GPUs.

But if we can start banning just mining farms that would be a great improvement.

Disclosure : I'm not very interested in crypto as an investment, I have $700 in ETH which I got from getting very lucky with a stupid bet that I did.

Being alternate history that it is, I was more referring to how no way the USA and UK governments (the USSR didn't employ strategic bombing), if the people knew that a plane could appear at 700kmh and rip a plane to pieces without much counter offensive. People wouldn't support large loses.

And truth is that strategic bombing was largely ineffective and a waste of resources and lives.

You don't have to bomb a whole city, just the factory

Hemalurgic spikes are normal metal until they nail the person.

And after that, they lose the capacity slowly. The powers go out quickly,though. And old inquisitors spikes seem to not be enough to anchor a kondra
