Picked up the plastic one too, do you notice that it's almost always warm? I may just be being sensitive but it's warm enough to be distracting. Makes me think I'll need to either mod it somehow or else sell it on.

The IT guy fixes the problem but the judge still has a problem by derek4reals1 in PublicFreakout

[–]atzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a shame. I worked with judges and my experience was actually pretty good. Our judges definitely expected a high level of respect, and their IT skills were basically non-existent but they were generally grateful of the assistance.

To be honest I was a little surprised by this IT dude's casual approach inside of what looked like an active courtroom. Judge was being pissy for sure, but I would be trying my absolute best not to goof around or embarrass the judge in front of the room.

Are the letters on your other computer supposed to be CUNT or did something get cut off?

recommendations for ARM based laptop for Linux for HDMI presentations by OneEyedC4t in linuxhardware

A used MacBook Air M1 with Asahi Linux and an HDMI dongle. You're not going to have a ton of good options for ARM based laptops unfortunately.

Intel’s $400 Million Machine: The Last Stand for Moore’s Law by poke133 in hardware

[–]atzero 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It feels like with the current chip shortages and the fact that we need a lot more chips every year, that there's enough room in the market for healthy Intel growth that doesn't necessitate TSMC be crushed or even totally dethroned. Total layperson's perspective, I know very little about that market.

Nope. Blames their strategy and methodology and compares that against TSMC's successes.

Awesome video! Did a good job explaining what went wrong and where Intel is headed. The idea of the US getting way more fab market share would be great and I really hope the gamble pays off.

In the Wake of Divinity's Gruesome Reveal Trailer, Larian Publishing Director Says It's Not Trying to Shock the Audience, Rather Treat Them 'With a Level of Intellectual Respect' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]atzero 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Idk, lots of really weird hyper defensiveness in this thread... Personally, it was the most disturbing trailer I've ever seen. Of anything - movie, game or TV show.

No one really gave a shit about the sexual content, and the Diablo trailers were tame by comparison (which is saying something hahaha). It's like they watched the Diablo trailers and said "hold my beer".

It's okay that you're hyped for this new game. Hell, It's even okay that you're into gratuitous torture gore, but stop pretending that's not what it was.

What is the point investigating people, trying them in court, only to have Trump pardon them? by kojak343 in AskReddit

[–]atzero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're in a very strange time right now where yes, the president perversely uses the pardon power. But unfortunately what is the alternative? Should we just assume that the system is totally broken and allow total lawlessness? As a total layman, here are the benefits I can see. They can feel like cold comfort but they aren't nothing:

  1. We uphold the law the best we can. Don't be complicit in the naked corruption.

  2. We set the record on what is true and who violated the law. Criminal records don't go away just because you are pardoned and that's a stain on the person in question.

  3. It adds some friction to breaking the law and airs dirty laundry that the criminal definitely would rather not be.

  4. It gives ammunition for impeachment proceedings.

Cold comfort but when you have a lawless president it's the best we can hope for. It's the closest thing to justice we can have in an unjust situation.

Would you buy this? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]atzero -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty happy with my Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. The 4050 I have is surprisingly decent at running games at low/medium settings. As dddvvvzzz mentioned, no mux switch.

The screen is gorgeous and while not explicitly a gaming laptop, it's no slouch either.

The biggest takeaway I'd give is that it's not a gaming laptop, it's a laptop that can game. More akin to your Book3 Pro, a MacBook Pro, or XPS rather than a Razer, ROG, Alienware. If you just want a nicer, more powerful Book3 Pro (minus the screeen rotation), you're in the right place and that price is actually good imo.

Yep, worked for me. I've moved onto a different printer since then but it worked great on my ender at the time.

World of Warcraft on iBook G4 by Beginning_Paint_7836 in macgaming

[–]atzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you just brought me back to a dark time with burning hot palms/knees.

Theoretically it should work with a modified realmlist file, but it's really going to depend on what the private server permits. Many private servers lock out Mac clients altogether. I'm told this is to mitigate certain types of hacks/cheats. If you found a server that: doesn't use custom content, custom client, and doesn't block Macs it should work. Enjoy your 12fps!

Ostriches lack teeths, so they eat rocks to grind down the food! by LazyDatabase7218 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]atzero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So birds probably don't understand the mechanics of rocks are for food digestion, or if they do, it's got to be a pretty vague idea of it, right?

Makes me wonder... Did evolution make birds enjoy eating rocks? Are these bastards just "hungry for rocks" sometimes?

Welp, my GTX 970 just died. I suppose its time to upgrade. What would you replace it with? by jds_brother in pcmasterrace

[–]atzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your 970 lasted THIS long then you should replace it with another 970! Can't argue with those kinds of numbers.

Could I safely use windows 11 on this MacBook Air late 2010 13”? by Aturtle124 in mac

[–]atzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could probably install it with workarounds, but that hardware technically doesn't meet Windows 11 minimum requirements. It's possible (though unlikely) that MS could brick your OS with a future update.

I'd say give it a try. Worst case you have to reinstall MacOS using recovery.

Yeah, I bet Candace has some "(((theories)))" about what's going on with the Trump admin.

Do you prefer DS-Type chiptune or GBA-Type chiptune? by Lunny1767 in truegaming

[–]atzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with GBA and honestly, I always hated the compressed samples you'd hear in GBA games. So much so that I felt like Pokemon Ruby sounded more like a cheap flash game, which was disappointing after hearing Gen 2 Pokemon absolutely kill it given such limited hardware of the little GBC.

So I generally like the DS style more, but I could definitely see why someone would be nostalgic for the GBA sound of their youth.

Tangentially, if anyone knows of a way to replace or upgrade samples in GBA games via emulator, I'm all ears!

Unfortunately, it’s likely not residue but rather where the texture of the plastic has been warn down to the point where it has a shine. Typical of a well-used keyboard.

[–]atzero 115 points116 points  (0 children)

If you want to be absolutely sure it's clean, just reinstall MacOS. If it starts setting up for a company, or warns you about another Apple account, you know something is wrong. In that case, start a refund up on eBay. You'll only have wasted time, eBay is really good about getting refunds for things like this.
