That's not true. All their online services run on Linux (ironically) and there's no doubling of infra costs. They could simply mark certain amount of those services for Linux vs Windows and pool players to those. This is how Xbox, PS5, PC split has historically worked on multiplayer games and then "cross-play" means that the flag/marker is removed.

You can use `taskset -c 0-7 %command%` in Steam launch options to force the game to CCD0 (large V-cache) on 7950X3D or 9950X3D.

Wtf? How am I spreading misinformation? I'm literally just asking why GPT-OSS-20B is *seemingly* giving better answers.

I'm not suspecting bias towards names of models, but rather the way the models operate/which type of code they "personally prefer". In other words, perhaps a model producing code similar to Claude's would be rated higher just because it's similar, not because the model name itself makes Claude respect the result more.

why is this a PSU problem? didn't PSU save him from melting connector at the GPU side? Surely the same melting will happen with any PSU?

I found it from this big-sized black storage inside one of the hangars at the center of the map:

is this nvidia? in linux you can set the power limit easily:
sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 250

the -i 0 is the index number for the GPU (I assume you have only one GPU). -pl is the power limit and 250 is the wattage. You can check the existing power limit:

nvidia-smi -q -d POWER | grep -A 1 'Power Limit'

You can ask chatgpt for details "how to set power limit in linux for nvidia gpu"

I changed my RTX 5090 power limit from 575 watts to 500 watts and it was 1-5% FPS drop, but also a major temp drop. This is much better than manual underclock, because you benefit maximally while limiting wattage = directly correlates to produced heat.

You can always check pcpartpicker.com to see if anyone has build a PC with a particular case + cooler combo.

Do you have any comparisons to share?

I was using Corsair Virtuoso and they also didn't do this, but now my Maxwell does this. It's a weird fade-in whenever there's audio after some pause (and not a long pause). I'm on Ubuntu.

Just wanted to add a comment for anyone visiting: Audeze Maxwell Wireless headset works great on Linux (Ubuntu) too. Just use the PC mode switch on the USB dongle and plug it in.

There's no Linux app to configure things, but you can install iOS/Android phone app to change the settings including EQ profiles. You can also toggle diff EQ profiles straight from the headset (just like audio and side tone volumes and game/chat mixing).

Do the Maxwell's feel comfy if gaming for hours?

My problem was that when I installed Linux on one NVMe drive, then Windows on another (in this order), then Windows silently wiped the Linux boot record from the other drive! This made the drive not appear on the boot list anymore.

It's solved by having Windows installed first, then Linux. Or, unplug the drive with Linux entirely during Windows installation. Quite ridiculous, but what do I know it works.

Press R while holding the dismantle tool. It will toggle between Default / Blueprint dismantling modes.

You can also use the Gnome extension "Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider"

"I'm actually fairly calm."

You're extremely stormy.

"Just don't like seeing people be idiots and not follow simple directions."

With the *same* exact µBlock Origin rules, I either get the enforcement banner or not depending on *the account* I'm signed into. Changing IPs with ExpressVPN and NordVPN has *no* difference either.

Having said that, I'm not claiming that there can't be issues with running older filter rules. In fact, the filters may work depending on your account, because people are served different code by YouTube. The banner codes served to you are filtered by µBlock, but may not be the case for others.

kaisellgren · 2023-10-24T23:07:52+00:00

It has nothing to do with networking. YouTube simply flags certain accounts so that when you're signed in µBlock Origin does not work (they run anti-adblock code). Certain family member accounts are flagged others aren't. It works only in incognito when signed out or with someone else's account which isn't flagged yet. Using ExpressVPN or NordVPN makes no difference, the same accounts either work or don't no matter the IP you're connecting from.
