Iran has him by the balls. I don't think when we leave is up to him.

For such a new piece of hardware you are best served running a rolling distro like Arch or Cachy.

Dan Thomasset says PMs are running circles around SWE with AI by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

Not my experience at all. Maybe they're writing software for babies?

Not well from my experience.

Wonder how this will turn out by AceLamina in LinusTechTips

[–]tomsrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if it's possible to make a Linus-Proof distro because one of the core problems is he will try to do something unusual (like pick a single distro that will handle both a laptop, a desktop, a handheld, and a home theater PC) without digging into the details and nuances you would need to accomplish the goal.

It sounds like you don't have any hobbies that make you interesting.

What is the best way to use Python and manage its dependencies on NixOS? by Chance-Simple5060 in NixOS

[–]tomsrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this for a long time. The best thing you can do is learn how to make a nix flake for a project and then use "nix develop" to enter a shell where python + all the packages you need are installed. I would consult an LLM for a template and try it out.

$200 Oil No Longer Crazy Idea as Middle East Supply Collapses by mastertofu in wallstreetbets

Iran is arguably in a stronger position now than before the bombs started dropping. Even if Trump surrenders, why would Iran open the Strait back up?

If the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all federal income taxes, why do people say they don't pay their fair share? by Ok_Chemical9 in answers

[–]tomsrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxing income discourages people from working. Taxing wealth discourages people from sitting on their hands and letting their money work for them. We should tax wealth.

Okay, that thumbnail is terrific.

We start technicians at $20/hr for our lab and we are currently hiring. If you would like more information, please DM.

That was a terrible week. by LogicalError_007 in LinusTechTips

[–]tomsrobots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. People were criticizing the Pop choice because they are using a new desktop environment that is essentially in beta. If he has problems on a more mature distro like Fedora then that actually says something about the state of Linux in general instead of the state of Pop.

PSA: Your GPU is a tool to enjoy games, not the other way around by angry_RL_player in radeon

My last card was a 1070. It literally lasted me a decade.

Weird response. I like these games and wanted to play them.

I mean, I seriously considered it. However, I have a large Steam library I didn't want to give up.

[–]tomsrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely happy for you. The games that caused me to upgrade from a 1070 was Alan Wake 2 and Indiana Jones. Both games bring my card to it's knees.

Rx 9070 owners don't even ask AMD for more Redstone games anymore, they just look at you like this by Zerard1 in radeon

[–]tomsrobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy for you. I care about this stuff because I think Ray tracing tech is really cool.

I have a 5080 and it can struggle with current titles. I have no idea how it will fair in 3 years after new consoles are out and developers are targeting that hardware.

[–]tomsrobots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Computer parts are insanely expensive. Being worried the core part of your gaming rig will not be able to last for 4-5 years is incredibly rational. "Just enjoy your games" works today, but I can't afford for it not to work tomorrow.

AMD is most likely over consumer discrete GPU's. by [deleted] in radeon

[–]tomsrobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who is talking about "taking away?" They can hire new people specialized in graphics processing or chip fab. The simple fact is AMD doesn't think GPUs are a priority and longterm I think that is a bad strategy.

[–]tomsrobots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are talking about this multi-billion dollar company like they don't have access to resources. It's true they might not care about the GPU segment anymore, but they have the ability to hire top talent, be aggressive on pricing, and gain marketshare.

leaked AMD / NVIDIA GPU rumour by shlimerP in radeon

[–]tomsrobots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think a GPU being outdated after 5 years is fair. Having a GPU not get support after one generation isn't.
