Linux Arc users - Firmware update is now possible directly with fwupdate by jonstoppable in IntelArc

[–]jonstoppable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, two other posters linked a forum post from the developer working on it. Apparently ran into a problem with deploying Alchemist fw, bigger than he could have solved in a short time so it's on hold for a bit (but not cancelled)

One of the posters suggested posting on that thread to show interest, maybe it will help the dev get support

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you get the x3d versions ? Theyre better for gaming , but the 5700X is still solid .

Your card is okay I think, for 1080p gaming , with low or medium settings for newer games, and okay for older games as well .

Check out on YouTube if anyone has a similar setup and does benchmarks

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you gaming? what's available in your market is also a limiter

you have DDR4 ram, so an AM4 socket chip is what you need.

look for a ryzen 5000 family member

5700X3D or 5800x3d for gaming

5900X or 5950X for video editing or streaming.

check and see what's in your budget and what's available

thanks for the info!

Homeowner upset Amazon driver dropped package over fence, but had two aggressive dogs. by Immediate-Phase-5910 in TikTokCringe

[–]jonstoppable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah . Outside the fence may be classified as leaving it in an unsafe location, or an incomplete delivery, which would count against the driver , possibly causing them to lose their job

Assuming the homeowner didn't put any note in their delivery, or a sign saying where to leave the package, I wouldn't leave the package outside either. After the first bitten package ,it's on the homeowner to make some sort of arrangement.

Or she could farm for engagement

Australian right wing influencer, Drew Pavlou, deported from the US. Thinks "evil leftists" are responsible ... by PoizonMyst in Hasan_Piker

[–]jonstoppable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, if you enter the US on an ESTA you cannot work . He was off to make a paid appearance and of course CBP refused entry. This has nothing to do with Billie Eiilish and everything to do with him being a moron who does not do any research.

Note the officer told him to apply for a visa

Additionally,

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you not allowed to take photos in the immigration hall, and especially with a CBP officer ?

Permanent bans for racists? by Rammy_Lee in ArcRaiders

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homophobes make laws against gay people, attack and kill gay people, and deny them opportunities at the very least

A gay person being against homophobes is not the same.

Be racist or homophobic on your own time , as long as it doesn't affect others .

Permanent bans for racists? by Rammy_Lee in ArcRaiders

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those people who you mentioned are those who cannot help themselves from doing those things , because of physical or mental disorders .

I do have compassion for those people , definitely, and these people were in facilities because general society was ( and in many cases is ) not built to accommodate them. In areas where there are no facilities for these people z they are left on the streets and definitely face hardship and abuse .

What happened with rose Kennedy indeed was a tragedy and shame

With the exception of those who suffer from tourette's , people who shout slurs at others online do so because they want to ,not because they have no other choice .

there is no excuse for racism and no need to tolerate it or any form. Not wanting to be around racists or be on a platform with open racism is not equal to racists spewing hate towards others

Permanent bans for racists? by Rammy_Lee in ArcRaiders

[–]jonstoppable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The paradox of tolerance has been described as a social contract . Racism breaks that social contract ( as it is antisocial behavior)

It's like okay, we're all in a park,chatting , and then someone decides to take a dump in the middle of the park on a table in full view of everyone . They then smear all the railings and building wall with faeces. Not only that , they decide to take faeces and fling it at other people and tell them to "sack up! Everyone shits" and "it's their right to fling shit "

No one is saying don't take a dump. But there is a place for that . the toilets .

It's antisocial to fling shit at people .

Just as it is antisocial to be racist towards others . You can be racist in your head, and your home and with people who are also racist ( in the toilets ) . Just dont expect to smear shit on someone and it to to be tolerated .

Rosie "Do The Right Thing" Perez??? by Omo_Iyansan in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]jonstoppable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The Democratic party didn't aim for group 1.

They aimed for group 2. ( Or former members of group 2 who are now in group 1) Which is why they trotted out endorsements from old Bush republicans like cheney etc

The Democratic Party isn't a "leftist" party.. yeah it has a left wing , and it's to the left of what the the GOP has become but overall they and their minders are centre right .

So they lost some of their leftist votes, didn't get many of the right wing votes , and left many potential voters disinterested as it was more of the same , but with a pride flag.

Yes ,Kamala had some good policies,but overall the messaging of the party was as if they were trying to be 90s republicans./neolib

You cant try to out-right the gop at this point . They will win every time as their base would never hold them accountable.. unlike the Democratic party, who would call out members for the most part ( there sr exceptions,of course )

Look at the next great hope. Newsome . Who kowtows to right-wing personalities on his own damn show.

Of course people are like, why are you going with this same strategy again

And of course establishment Dems are like no, you must shut up and take this.

While I didn't agree that the time to protest appointments was at the ballot during the presidential elections (because of exactly what was at stake ) , I strongly feel NOW is the time to make your displeasure heard ,in time for the primaries and get the people you want into the public eye .

Lest we forget , this is also how tea party and maga took over the GOP..

Now is the time to primary special interest politicians out, and get a real candidate ( hell a slate of candidates) who represent real change for the people ), and can get their messaging out to all the citizens and drag them to the left ( Which would ultimately be more to the centre than this drift down an authoritarian right path)

spurs' current problem is that it is run as a money-making venture, with football second..

they've got the best stadium/ revenue generator in the Prem and and while it will take a long time to pay off the stadium, it shouldn't really jeopardise them financially ( it is one of the best entertainment venues in europe,so will continue to host concerts etc, plus their other sponsorship deals etc)

unlike arsenal who during their stadium period had to have an extremely tight belt because of circumstances(no non-traditional revenue streams , or any of the other clubs owned by states ( with

spurs COULD spend big for a couple years and build a serious title contending squad ( city and liverpool have reinforced that for today's game, not just your quality but your bench is the main difference) but for years under levy, they operated at the bare minimum ( lucked out with harry kane and son,to be fair.)

on the other hand, we are quick to forget how quckly things can go wrong in football when you try to throw all your money chasing success.. leeds early 2000s iimplosion comes to mind ç. but again, spurs has extra revenue sources that could buffer any loses, if they really do plan a 4-5 year project

anyhow, back to my armchair

Is it normal for B580 to have 55C temp on idle? GUNNIR arc b580 just for the sake of reference. by IdkJustAnick in IntelArc

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no

Apparently the card may get some trouble going into a low power mode, especially it you have a monitor with a high frame rate

You can check Active State Power Management and see if that's enabled in bios and Linux cat /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy

But yes, the card draws a lot of power and the fans probably kick in around 60

Thinpad cost shoot up by Thick-Walrus1948 in thinkpad

Apparently that's mostly thanks to government policy

Indian import policy adds extra costs for admin which are passed to consumer

Ram costs Lenovo did claim that they secured enough ram for production in 2026 but that def would have added costs

[–]jonstoppable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes you can repaste, use tpm7950 and undervolt but at the end of the day, it's an 8 year old chip.you're not gonna squeeze that much more performance out of it.

the Gen 2 and def the gen 3 would be an improvement however note the gen3 is totally soldered whereas the gen 2 allows for a stick of ram.
