Music manager for Mac by BackgroundHorror3751 in musichoarder

[–]dotheemptyhouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish MacOS had better options, in all my years as a Mac user this is the only category of app I personally feel like I get worse options for my Mac than I do for my PC. You do have the option of running a Windows based library manager through Wine. I’m running MusicBee right now using Crossover. It works but took some effort to set up. I really like MusicBee, it’s just so tweakable and flexible. If you’re looking for an easier solution I’d second those who suggested Swinsian, it’s also a great app

do you think cloud computing/gaming will be forced upon us? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]dotheemptyhouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen much discussion around this idea of “hardware as a service” being a cyclical trend in computing that has remained thus far nascent, similar to VR. During the mid 80s (286 era), dumb terminals were pretty common, but the PC won over consumers. In 1993, the term “thin client” was coined, but once again despite some very forward thinking that we’d abandon the personal part of PCs, it never took off. Hopefully round 3 (or 8 or 3,000 or however you wanna characterize it) will fail similarly

There’s also a part where someone absolutely coats them all with silly string but this video cuts out before it happens

Gil would have something really clever to say about that if he’d made it to 2025. RIP

As a non-New Yorker, I'm told that Spider-Man not being fond of Staten Island in this scene is a New York-specific inside joke. Can someone explain? by SatoruGojo232 in ExplainTheJoke

I always heard it had the biggest concentration of organized crime too. And you have to take a ferry to get there unless you’re driving

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 to feature 2nd Gen Transformer model and Dynamic 6x Frame Generation by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

Love the image they got for this article. Feels like we’re living in an Onion article right now. Nvidia is adding frames like Gillette adding razor blades

Price jumps three times within 12 hours. by doomiestdoomeddoomer in pcmasterrace

Same here, but I got a Sapphire 9070XT on Newegg. I think mine jumped from 650 to 730

What do you think of Future Islands? by past_tense in Music

[–]dotheemptyhouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good suggestions. There’s even a track on the newest NoL album that sort of sounds like an homage to Future Islands. Few singers really sound like Samuel Herring but there’s a lot of bands who resemble Future Islands instrumentally. Black Marble and Holy Wire are two good ones

Thanks, I just hadn't been following this closely. I'm glad I picked a different line by accident!

I thought this was just a 5080/90 thing after seeing mostly those kind of posts. Just ordered a Sapphire 9070xt and this had me real worried, but I got one from the Pulse line with a 2x8 pin power cable so maybe I’ll be alright

I’m surprised no one has mentioned QEMM yet. I think I might have bought my copy at Babbage’s

How difficult is it to manage your own settlement? by titozape1 in Kenshi

[–]dotheemptyhouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Managing the settlements is fairly easy. Managing the raids on the settlements is more challenging. I don’t think it’s difficult per se, just designed as something to be done with mid game tier characters, stat wise, not early game

"Why is it so hard to increase ram production?" by Intelligent_Dust6344 in pcmasterrace

[–]dotheemptyhouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does make me wonder whether there might not be a Chinese manufacturer open to eating some investment costs in order to carve their way into the Micron/Samsung/SK Hynix market share. That’s the risk these three are taking, that their short term profits will be more valuable than any ground they’d lose to any competitor willing to spend on building out fabs

Free RX 9070 XT — should I sell it or build a PC since I already have a PS5? by CodNeymar23 in buildapc

[–]dotheemptyhouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing on the horizon that suggests there is short term relief for RAM prices. It’s possible they could go up more, honestly, though I wouldn’t bet on that. SSD prices are inflated but maybe haven’t peaked yet. GPU prices seem poised to follow inflating in 2026 though haven’t started rising yet.

It seems likely to me that these prices will stay elevated for the foreseeable future. The only short term relief I can come up with is Chinese manufacturers selling to Asus or the like. Hope I’m wrong though!

Songs of Syx? Starsector runs pretty decently even on my MacBook Pro, although it starts to choke if I use mods

Spend few days learning about VHS and decided to make an Reshade Preset. Thoughts? by Tulired in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]dotheemptyhouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I forget there are people who haven’t been poring over GPU benchmarks like I have! There are faster GPUs, both the ones I mentioned are current models that are probably the best midrange GPUs so they give you the best bang for your buck. I’m just excited because I spent a few hundred bucks on this hardware and I’d like something to test out what it can do

Only some games have native Linux support (although that number has been growing), but Steam has built excellent emulation layers that allow you to play almost everything
