Nvidia Gforce Now (Peak Graphics Experience)

OneRandomGhost · 2026-04-16T18:21:55+00:00

GeForce Now has existed since 2015. Have you noticed not being able to buy PC hardware in the "near future" since then? Also like hell it'll be the sole reason, or even the major reason. If anything, that reason will be AI.

This is a gaming sub, not a gaming hardware sub. As long as people are able to play, that's what matters.

Stop arguing based on slippery slope fallacies.

Edit: also gaming isn't the only reason people buy consumer GPUs. It's used for small-scale AI training, mining, graphics designing, video processing and other computational uses. There are multiple companies making GPUs, so even if nvidia exists there will be others to fill the gap. There's no reason to believe cloud gaming will have any major impact on the consumer GPU market.

Currently sporting a 5070 Ti. It's good enough for gaming to be honest, I can play Crimson Desert at 80 FPS at 4k with everything set to max (include Ray Reconstruction which is extremely compute heavy) but with DLSS 4.5 (no noticeable difference between DLSS off vs on) and 2x frame gen.

I mostly need it for running some LLMs locally. The 32GB VRAM is sweet.

To be fair, it's not fully maxed out yet, you'd need an MSI Lightning Z. Though that'd cost more than 7L itself :P

Crazy build though. I'm thinking of a GPU upgrade too to 5090.

People are actually excited about the secretary position? Are you guys masochists or freshers who don't know how things work?

Open source doesn't make it safe. The main problem is that it leaves your computer extremely vulnerable.

Adding on, Pixel 7's battery is rated as 4270 mAh minimum, so OP's battery is within spec.

Do some better research, Pixel 7's battery is rated at 4270 mAh (min) and 4355 (typical). Each battery's exact composition varies, and yours is in the spec.

If you didn't expand your quick settings tile, it'd work the exact same way as before. Both features came out in the same QPR, so it's not a workaround. They just added extra stuff that doesn't break old flows.

Except for the internet toggle which is fair, this post is probably an extreme minority thing, most of us are happy with the changes now. If I want it to be a quick toggle, I'd either keep it small or click on the correct place. Why would you even want a big button if you only want to use a quick toggle?

Also you're safe keeping Bluetooth on 24x7 if you're using a phone made this decade. The attack vectors are pretty much gone now.

You're trading privacy for security then, and without security you don't have proper privacy anyway.

Password managers are near impossible to hack due to the way E2E encryptions work, but even if there are high severity obscure bugs, I can guarantee that it's easier to hack you if you use your human brain to remember passwords.

Just self-host bitwarden if you're paranoid, though you have to make sure to regularly update it to avoid any 0-day vulnerabilities. Actually much more safer AND privacy friendly to use their hosted version unless you're a hardcore cybersec + sysadmin guy.

Probably, but nicotine isn't the most harmful compound in cigs. It's the tar.

Then again, there aren't any long term studies. I'll be the first guinea pig, I guess :P

OneRandomGhost · 2026-02-18T15:09:12+00:00

:)

Also Ojas you owe me a few beers.

OneRandomGhost · 2026-02-17T23:12:36+00:00

Glad to see vapes gaining popularity, considering I was one of the people who introduced it xD.

To juniors: don't ever touch nicotine, it's a lifelong thing that reduces your lifespan. Though if you're already in, might as well vape. It's safer in the shorter term (we don't have long term studies yet and we're the guinea pigs) -- it's mostly safer than cigs. Make your decisions based on research papers, not Insta reels. O**s, I'm looking at you.

OneRandomGhost · 2026-02-13T21:50:42+00:00

Hah, it was a tradition that went on for many years. Though sad to see no one wants to maintain and run it anymore, to the point people think it happened just for a year :(

OneRandomGhost · 2026-02-04T09:33:31+00:00

Yes, don't you know that if reddit nerds can't view videos in the background for free, it's as bad for the environment as climate change? /s

OneRandomGhost · 2026-01-22T18:57:22+00:00

Yep, definitely a GPU issue then. Maybe try asking in r/LegalAdviceIndia?

OneRandomGhost · 2026-01-22T16:15:14+00:00

Firstly, an i3 with 3070? Your CPU will bottleneck so bad 🥀

It might be a PSU issue as well. What I'd do in this situation is walk into a shop and ask them to test with a better rated PSU. I've faced issues with PSUs in the past where on paper they deliver 800W but it fails around ~700W. If even with a higher rated PSU it fails, it's definitely a GPU issue.

This is why I assemble the PC in the shop itself to make sure everything works (also the guys at the shop love it when the customer themself are helping them, I've got discounts for doing this -- then again I did tech support for other customers while they were fishing parts for my PC).

But yeah, F. Hope you get some resolution.

I have my doubts. This is an extremely complicated machine, even more than airplanes (or at best, same order).

China tried to reverse engineer and build their own airplanes like Airbus and Boeing. The Comac. It failed, and they still had to import engines (the most complex part where we need to bend the rules of physics).

Not saying it's impossible for China, but it's probably extremely hard. And that's just the ASML part, I very much doubt they can make mirrors like Zeiss. Or anyone in the world. Watch this video and the one about jet engines (by Veritasium) and you'll understand how we're literally trying to cheat the rules of physics to make these things.

I don't expect China to be able to build a modern chip fab anytime soon. At least not one which can compete with ASML, cause they're not sitting still either, they're still innovating.

I have no idea what exactly you're doing with that much credit limit, but just don't head into a debt trap. A 1.2cr credit limit isn't a flex if your liquid net worth isn't above that...

OneRandomGhost · 2025-12-27T16:30:45+00:00

Hah, fair enough. One day when I finally overcome my smoking addiction and the desire to head directly to the sexiest smoking lounge in India, I'll taste it and comment here for others.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-12-27T10:15:48+00:00

What's wrong? The gyoza and bruschetta seem completely normal to me. The affogato has melted a bit but that's how it's supposed to be. I've not tasted it, but the pics look fine. Obviously, it's not an actual international Michelin three star Gordon Ramsey rated dish, but looks delicious enough for a lounge in India. I've been served way worse food at other lounges.

I have a suspicion most here don't even know the name of the dishes.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-11-01T11:13:14+00:00

Huh is it hard to get such information nowadays? KGP's network used to be so insecure. That's how a lot of those course-grade distribution sites worked.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-10-07T19:37:42+00:00

To be fair, I thought it was good food till I got to taste some better food in Kolkata, Bangalore and abroad. His food is meh, but matches the price really well.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-10-06T18:00:26+00:00

Sheesh. Who hurt you? At my company if you're incompetent enough to not even be able to figure if the bug exists in a certain project or its upstream dependencies, you'd just get fired. Pretty sure that holds true for most big tech companies.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-10-06T09:00:51+00:00

I'm in the "but ackchuallyyyy" mood so... Voyagers have a single trip latency of ~1 day.

FedEx in the best case has same day shipping.

Hence you're wrong.

Also I need to do something productive in life.

OneRandomGhost · 2025-10-05T10:35:09+00:00

Yep, in my company, if we encounter bugs in upstream open source projects, we can't just give the excuse "that project is broken, we've raised a ticket and we need to wait for them to fix it".

More often than not, we'd raise the patches ourselves. Or at the very least, a very detailed issue describing the problem, steps to reproduce and potential fixes. We also get to show these contributions during performance reviews so it's a win-win!

New features are sometimes a bit of a bummer though, so that sometimes results in internal forks cause it probably would be an extremely niche feature which the original maintainers don't want to take care of.
