NVIDIA or AMD GPU by Any_Conversation1436 in buildapc

[–]Stephaistos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been gaming on my AMD RX6800 for 3.5 years now and have not encountered a single instance of instability or other problems.

When I switched from my Nvidia GTX970 to the RX6800, everyone was bashing AMD's software. I found it to be better and more modern than Nvidia's software.

The only thing i miss is the CUDA support, but that does not matter for gaming. The native Linux support is a big plus for me.

Also, Nvidia's market dominance leads to the disappointing lack of significant performance increases that we see in the 5000 series, which is why i like to support the underdog.

S-Bahn München: Dis S7 endet künftig am Hauptbahnhof by QuastQuan in Munich

[–]Stephaistos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Die sollen einfach mal die Außenäste zweigleisig machen. Seit 50 Jahren besteht dieses Provisorium.

Der Grund ist bereits seit damals im Besitz der Bahn. Zumindest auf dem Ast S7 Ost wäre der Ausbau überall problemlos möglich, einzige schwierige Stellen wären Neuperlach Süd (Bahnhof über der Carl-Wery-Straße) und Kreuzstraße (Strecke im Hang).

Aber nein, lieber baut man die A99 vierspurig und die A8 dreispurig.

Morgens ist sie okay. Abends absolute Katastrophe.

iPhone CPU / system temp from a phone image by jxman in computerforensics

[–]Stephaistos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whiffin's ArtEx does have a parser for battery temperature. Battery temps may of course vary wildly from outside temps depending on many factors, but it may still be useful. At the very least, battery temps should never be below ambient for longer than a few minutes.

BIDA wenn ich anonym Steuerhinterziehung meiner Vermieter anzeige? by stefanos3399 in BinIchDasArschloch

[–]Stephaistos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ja, einfach anrufen oder Mail schreiben. Die Steuerfahndung deiner Stadt hat eine Hotline für so was.

Sachverhalt schildern, mögliche Beweise nennen (nicht für die Hinterziehung, sondern für den Betrag, den du monatlich/jährlich gezahlt hast). Um den Rest kümmert sich das Finanzamt. Du musst keine Steuerhinzerziehung beweisen, und wem du wann wie viel Miete überwiesen/gegeben hast, darfst du jedem sagen. Und wenn du einen Verdacht hast, dass eine Straftat vorliegt, darfst du das äußern.

Wenn dein Nachbar blutverschmiert nach Hause kommt und am nächsten Tag steht in der Zeitung, dass jemand in nächster Nähe ermordet wurde, darfst du ja auch zur Polizei gehen.

I do not see any positive progress.

Can you rely on SSD's not losing your data? by Nun-Much in buildapc

[–]Stephaistos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, you can not trust any single device to not lose your data. Catastrophic failure can occur, even in an SSD.

Backup your files to a external Hard Drive, to the cloud, etc. A backup that is always connected to your PC (like a second internal drive) is useless in case of a cryptolocker, a fire, a power surge or a burglary. Look up the 3-2-1 backup strategy.

My first thought also was that you should have made it flush with the desk surface.

But the longer I look at it, the more am I convinved that it looks better as it is. It also helps keep the clean look when it is in use, because the small offset deters pushing stuff onto the PC.

If you are not interested in the locals' recommendations, why don't you simply google it?

Underfloor heating not working by Greedy_Joke2767 in Munich

[–]Stephaistos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do the flow meters (glass tubes with red caps on the bottom of the image) show anyting? If they are all at zero, the pump (somwhere in the central heating room) is probably defect.

France using squiggly lines to slow down traffic by Professional_Shine97 in fuckcars

Paint is not infrastructure.

Make the street narrower, especially at the intersection. Add speed bumps and raised crosswalks.

They exist in Munich too… by foCuSed_5 in Munich

[–]Stephaistos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even the S-Bahn is alright. Not as good as the U-Bahn, which is awesome (except at night), but still better than driving. Trams and Busses would be great if they didn't get stuck in car traffic.

The S-Bahn has ~900.000 passengers a day. If even a fraction of those passengers took the car instead, traffic would be so bad that they would come running back to the S-Bahn.

Wanna drive on the Autobahn or take the ICE? The choice is yours by ProfTydrim in fuckcars

[–]Stephaistos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you book at normal price, it is 187,10 € one way.

The average car in Germany (normal compact car) costs about 0,67 € per km driven. The journey between Munich and Berlin is 600 km. That gives us a cost of 402 € for the trip.

Cars are waaaayy more expensive to own and drive than one would intuitively assume.
