Also trying to avoid this setup

Paywalled

I had no clue this was a thing! I thought Samsung Dex was some exclusive feature. Feels like this would be great for public computing spaces where they provide a hub, keyboard, mouse, and monitor and you just bring your phone with ya and connect over data

You got me curious since it’s been ages since I uninstalled Reddit and it’s actually crazy how much more invested I am in Lemmy comments. Feels like all the Linux communities are actually helpful and full of real world experience, not to mention the flashlight community. Definitely a good reminder to set up a recurring donation to the smaller instance I use

Tried out Mint, Debian w/ KDE, switched to Debian w/ gnome, now settled into Cachy OS. Only thing I’m wanting for is support for my Dell Canvas touch and totem, but I expect that’ll get pushed to Open Tablet Drivers before long

Agreed. More and more TVs support 4K 120fps every year and monitors keep getting higher fps / more pixel dense at current >120fps, pushing the market towards the flagship cards that are just insanely expensive at > $1K USD

It’s a problem already, right now. Prices are already ridiculous and I’m sure the Nvidia 5000 series will be even more so before AMDs 8000 series add fuel to the fire in an effort to retain their fledgling market share.

It’s the main reason I haven’t upgraded yet: I just don’t want to drop ~$1K USD on another GPU that can handle 4K 120fps displays

First one I remember was a beige tower and similarly beige CRT my dad brought home from his office since he bought a new tower. It ran Windows XP, but barely. Spent a lot of time on homestarrunner.com, addicting games.com, and other flash game sites since I had no money for actual games and I already beat all the games on my Gameboy.

Oh golden sun was such a gem. My parents bought it used for cheap and I had such low expectations - spent so many hours playing through the storyline as a kid it has to be the best playtime/$ investment in my lifetime so far.

Definitely going to go hunt down Golden Sun 2 now

Hanklight D4K for $50 was my first portable enthusiast flashlight. I’m currently 4 hanklights deep and they’re loads of fun out in the country for spotting wildlife and general use with the open source Anduril 2 firmware (yes, flashlights can get firmware updates).

This is good info: what EV?

It’s all about how you play in my experience. If you want to get a basic factory up and go slug hunting, super chill. If you want to sink your spreadsheet teeth into optimizing every resource available and build a non-spaghettified factory, plenty of room to go hard core.

Also the graphics are fantastic for all the massive machinery

This is where I’m at; upper management has already greenlit moving all data to a OneLake Data Hub so the rank and file can try power bi instead of excel for everything. Suggesting moving away from their ecosystem at this point is moot

LMAO best summary right here

This is exactly the distro I need for my aging laptop that’s struggling to run Windows! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds similar to the concept of a swamp cooler to me; maybe look up how they calculate efficiency?

Also, swamp coolers are only effective below a certain temp, so you’d need to think about bypassing (cutting the fan and turning on air con) above a certain threshold

Any iOS Amp users that can recommend Amp? Seems like there’ll be either a huge number of streams or almost none

What was underwhelming? Nothing much to see around from the top?
