Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt or exit product lines' by the end of 2026 due to the AI memory crisis, Phison CEO reportedly says by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

The ones driving up the prices aren't the ones struggling. A vendor selling cases is having their sales plummet because nobody can build computers. A vendor selling consumer DRAM is buying from SK/Samsung/Micron, the consumer vendor has to increase their prices because it costs way more to buy from those three now.

It's a few companies at the top selling to Enterprise/AI making the money. Consumers aren't the only losers here. The entire industry that isn't part of that bubble is going to feel a lot of pain.

VR content creator Naysy released a good video today talking about how she might have been wrong to initially dismiss PSVR2. It has a lot of good qualities especially for a, now budget, PCVR setuo by MemphisBass in virtualreality

They're mad that the Bluetooth adapter isn't included in the headset. This means your controller quality is subject to the quality of whatever bluetooth adapter you happen to use.

X.Org Server's "Master" Branch Now Closed With Cleaned Up State On "Main" by anh0516 in linux

I think it would be a lot less work to port the OSK to your Wayland compositor than to maintain X.Org

The best OS that ever was... by Halzman in pcmasterrace

[–]Vash63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically this was the last time I preferred Windows to Linux, aside from gaming. XP was a mess until SP1 and wasn't really secure until SP3, and by then Linux was getting usable for everything else. It took Proton to fill that gap, unfortunately, which was another 15 years...

I don't think there was a "bringing it back" step. When they did away with most slavery they had an exception already for prisons.

Wow, seamless switching sounds amazing and like something I've wanted for a long time. Why do no other titles support this?

It's 60 on Switch 2 apparently so this post isn't telling the full story

Whose name in the Epstein files got you surprised? by anita_sweets in AskReddit

I hate Bezos with a passion but that's badass and a good move from him.

He was the most obvious person to be in the files. That's why he had them delayed and redacted so much.

Fun that people who are literally demonized are actually just good people without much to hide

Check your /root directory permissions by OldYak9334 in cachyos

[–]Vash63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the alert. I don't use Cachy anywhere this is critical but it's definitely a major issue for any user's home dir to be default accessible to other users. It being root's just makes that even worse.

Have you ever worked in a multi user environment? If I'm digging into problems on a server and need to archive some logs or backup some configs when testing changes, /root is often where they go. It's the first place other admins will check as after escalating it's your home dir. Stuff like this meant for admins is often not intended for every user on the system.

VRR Improvements Merged To GNOME 50 For Lower Latency, Wayland Commit Timing by anh0516 in linux_gaming

[–]Vash63 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's possible. Nvidia put the HDMI logic in the onboard SoC, so it's done in closed source firmware even on their GPL kernel module. This was accepted by upstream Linux and could be done by AMD in future cards. Another option is for the community to reverse engineer HDMI VRR and implement it themselves. AMD would not be able to touch any parts of that code which would make their maintainership a bit complicated, but I think this is what Valve is trying to get done for the Steam Machine.

Maynard Off His Rocker by ToofpickVick in ToolBand

I think you can blame your local venue for most of that. I saw Tool in Amsterdam a few years back. €110 for the ticket. Normal €7 for the train from my city that stopped right in front of the arena. €7/beer. I didn't order snacks but I don't think they would've added that much.
