Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
What the money in our pocket allows us to afford is not the same as what our health and planet can afford.
Causing that disconnect by supplanting secular consideration with economic consideration is one the reasons so much evil is done and accepted in the name of profit.
No. But you can get away with less material if you do.
The amount of copper required to carry 500 watts over 12 connectors is a lot less than 500 watts over two connectors.
XT connectors are designed for two big conductors.
But you actually end up needing a lot more copper than you do when using several smaller wires, to carry the same current.
Large wires are also a lot less flexible.
ATX connectors have been fit for purpose for decades. It’s only this latest addition that seems to push things too far.
Not a font, but this.
I think they’ll do whatever makes sense.
I’m just saying Valve and AMD are on the same page about making it happen when and if it makes sense.
For now, the first steamdeck is still great.
Well yeah. But I used the word “substantial” together with the word “price”.
If the return ain’t worth it, it’s not “substantial” yet, and hence “It already does.” is a false statement.
It’s absolutely true.
Last I read, they’re in no hurry, but Valve and AMD are both ready to create a new chip like it once the tech has advanced enough that putting one together makes for a substantial boost in what you get for the same price and power envelope.
The AMD chip they are using has “AI” in the model name.
You don’t need Bazzite to use the “steamdeck-like” interface. Any distro with steam will let you run Steam in “big picture mode” which will let you control steam with a controller.
That said, Bazzite will work fine, but you’ll likely want to run it in desktop mode, rather than game mode. RPCS3 is just nicer to use this way, as it’s not really meant to be navigated using a controller. Once you have your games set up, of course, you can play them with a controller.
As for running PS3 games, that should work fine. Your performance will likely vary from game to game, but a Ryzen 5 is “pretty good” for PS3 emulation.
Yup. Just straight up copy the files over.
Moving files from ntfs to ext4/btrfs should work just fine.
Something you may want to double-check, is the ownership and permissions on the files, once you’re done.
As someone with sexy art in the wallpaper rotation of all my devices…
It’s just nice to look at?
Sexual beauty can be appreciated in the same way as any other kind of beaty. And doing so doesn’t actually require being turned on, at least not in my case.
Even when it happens, enjoying art and looking at porn are different things. With porn, arousal is the only point. With something artistic, arousal is just one sliver of the full spectrum of human experience a piece might provoke.
People make custom PC builds to look cool for no other reason than that it looks cool. People hike to mountaintops just because the view is incredible. Architechts endeavor to make buildings both pleasant to look at, and be in.
The sexy art isn’t pornographic to me. All I do, really, is enjoy looking at it for a moment as I go about using my devices. There is nothing perfomative about it. I could not care less what someone else thinks looking over my shoulder at my screen.
Apparently windows doesn’t like it, but it can be done using Rufus or WinToUSB.
Should be. A USB drive is a storage device like any other. Shouldn’t matter that it isn’t connected via SATA or NVME.
Wine can’t properly access USB devices, so even if you got iTunes installed, it wouldn’t work.
I’m sceptical that a VM is out of the question, one should run on almost anything, though not necessarily perform well. I would give it an attempt, if you didn’t already.
Still, it might be simplest to set up a windows install with itunes on a usb, or second partition, and boot into windows only when you need to.
What are you on about?
Unless you’re the admin, using nextcloud involves nothing more complicated than google drive or dropbox.
I have half a dozen “normies” on my instance as users, and they figure it out just fine.
Oh that’s new for me. I’ve been using alternativeto.com
SteamOS (the deck) does have printer support now.
Valve does seem to be putting affort into making sure the desktop mode is a complete experience.
My pleasure!
I’m very happy to have stuck with it. Many communities now have contributors other than me, which has allowed me to discover artists that are new to me in turn.
Yes.
And yes. The cables don’t come with the GPU. 5$ more for every new PSU made is not a drop in the bucket.
And I don’t think you realize how thick, cumbersome, and stiff, two sole conductors that can do 500W at 12V would be.
The only reason mains power cables are so thin, is because they operate at 120-240V, allowing the amps (and the stress on the cable) to be fairly low. (It being AC also helps, the problem is WORSE with DC)
To do 500W at 12V, you need truly massive cables. And it gets exponentially bigger the more these cards pull.
In fact, the XT60 would not be enough. It can handle bursts of the 700 watts a 5090 can pull, but to deal with the fact that these GPUs pull that continuously, you need to go all the way up to an XT120.
