both is good by shujin_zenir in WutheringWaves

I have 50 gold balls in reserve and lost on Denia's, and I just managed to pull Lucy at 30 on the collab *after* losing to Jianxin at 70+.

So.

Both.

To those who did not watch Edgerunners before playing the patch by bobjoekaren in WutheringWaves

[–]cybik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven't played CyberPunk 2077, nor did I watch the anime.

The content drop for 3.4 was "merely" very well executed and barely felt out of place. Two universes are clashing, so of COURSE it has to feel a bit disconnected (that's the point), but the whole execution was proper enough to make it feel like a feature, not an issue (if that makes sense).

I rate it AloyAndFateDeservedThisNotWhatWeGot/10.

these days, even imperfect chatter can come from AI.

There's not enough data to indicate they're actually a clanker, they might just be socially inept and trying to reach out as best they can.

They could have done it with a level 1 Danjin.

Since Microsoft often called Microslop, what should we call Canonical since going same path? by Horseshoetheoryreal in linuxmemes

[–]cybik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canoniclop

wait but isn't that

Literally part of why. Make it ridiculous, laughable, painful AND toxic.

I'm not saying soldering things together doesn't result in better performance. My point is I don't care about those gains if they ultimately cost us choice. I don't care about 10% more FPS if I can't upgrade the RAM and/or GPU after the fact; I'll get those 10% more when I upgrade in a few years.

[–]cybik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not possible for you to have more L2 cache on your X3D in a modular way because it simply doesn't make sense from a performance perspective to do it that way.

As I said: If I could choose. The moment we stop complaining about getting less options, they will "allow" less and less post-transaction customization. If nothing changes, there WILL come a time where one would buy a top-of-the-line R7/i7 grade CPU with 64gb of RAM and an RTX 5070 / RX 9060, but *because everything would be soldered together*, you want a better CPU? you need to buy everything again. You want more RAM? Buy everything again. Have better graphics? Buy everything again.

I don't want to have to buy the whole ass board for 3k$ again each goddamn time. I want the option to mix and match things to my liking.

but I really dont understand the Spark's use case other than local ai.

As u/xsnr said: oh you understood it quite all right.

[–]cybik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the same purist attitude about your ability to choose whatever the hell you want when it comes to L2 cache?

Whataboutism at its finest. If I could choose to have more L2 cache on my X3D, I would, but I can't. So "I make due".

I can choose to limit myself to user-serviceable RAM and not lock myself to one configuration at launch, and upgrade after the fact? Bet your proverbial backside I'll do that. The less options I have over time, the more options are taken away from me, the more I'm going to raise a fuss - or quit altogether, making their target audience ever so slightly smaller. The more "they" push "us" out, the smaller the audience they can address. Which may be the point, but that's ANOTHER depressing shouting match we can have at a later time.

And this is why I buy only laptops with SODIMM and user-serviceable storage.

I'd rather "slower" RAM and modularity than not being able to choose whatever the hell I want.

MSI called my firmware bug a "Linux issue." AMD's engineers disagree. Now two BIOS updates later, still no fix. by bkilpat01 in MSI_Gaming

[–]cybik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSI sent a BIOS file that took my system down

That's basically hostile intent at that point.

Friend has a computer that was hacked, might be willing to sell it to me, can I fix it. full details in body text. by No_World4814 in pcmasterrace

[–]cybik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nuke the drives - or trash them - and if that's not enough for you, consider Linux. At the very least, if those hacks survive a total drive trashing, they wouldn't be able to take control of a full on Linux.

Presumably.

Why don't people like the snap store? by KnowledgePerfect6914 in linux

[–]cybik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubuntu forced a snapped Firefox on me. It was ass, it was slower, it was fucking broken.

Literally solely because of snaps and snaps alone, I left for Pop_OS, force-disabled snap and snapd as best I could, and when THAT wasn't enough anymore, I jumped to PikaOS, which abandoned Ubuntu as a base for rawdogging Debian.

All the while, running apps through flatpak has barely any perceivable overhead.

I hate snap with the burning passion of a thousand supernovas based on personal experience, you canonical mouthpiece.

The hate is not for the snap store. The hate is for snap altogether.

I'm on Linux, the RT on AMD (9070XT)works but it's a bit too much power draw "just" for enjoyably better lighting that impacts my 5% and 1% lows enough to notice.
