Not a huge games uplift though. Anyway, congrats mate. Hope you are happy with your new toys.

For me the only good thing of consoles are the discs and the ability to buy/sell them. Apart of that, they just offer you some convenience, but nothing more.

Usually games for one console are not playable in 1-2 generations, you can’t install mods, you can’t upgrade the GPU or the CPU.

PC offers a lot more flexibility, unfortunately after COVID and now the AI craze, the prices of the GPUs went bananas. Not to mention that you can usually play a lot more games on a PC and the STEAM discounts and prices are much better compared to consoles.

The whole fact that NVIDIA is not allowing AIBs to send the 8GB card to reviewers is quite telling. They are simply banking on illiterate purchasers, system integrators to sell this variant. That’s another low for NVIDIA but hardly surprising anyone.

Planned obsolescence.

Let me translate it for you. Deepseek represents an existential and profound threat to the financial results of OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

Yes, and Nix is another bag of worms. My suggestion is first try to backup your Docker compose file and the configuration files, you can define in .gitignore which files or dirs to ignore and not backup. You don’t need any automated installation for your server, as it is fairly standard but you can easily do that if you run it as a VM on top of Proxmox and just create a snapshot of your VM.

Enshittification in progress. Sadly their OLED TVs are amazing, if not for the intrusive ads. It is really crap what all those companies are doing shoving ads our throats.

I am trying to block everything using ad blockers, DNS filtering, Pi hole, etc.

I think it works just fine on Linux.

r/worldnews is a complete echo chamber and every even vaguely criticism is being banned.

The whole fact that you can pay 1 M to dine with a president is troubling. I don’t know your laws but isn’t this unlawful?

I have been through many compliance training and all they say is not to accept large gifts or expensive dinners and now this? Are laws in this country applied selectively on who’s on the receiving side?

That’s actually better than I thought though. I am also tempted into a 16:10 aspect ratio, but that’s only on the third gen which is unfortunate. Thanks for the link.

I found a good T14 gen 1 with Ryzen CPU and 400 nits low-power display, but I read that the 4650U CPUs don’t support amd-pstate and only auto-cpufreq, meaning that it will affect negatively the battery life. The T14 gen 2 are unfortunately with the 300 nits display, which is quite mediocre. How much worse the battery would be on the gen1?

True that, and I generally prefer bigger screens. As I said what I don’t like is the price.

Yes, exactly, what attracts me to Framework and ThinkPad is the repairability

I tend to lose adapters to be honest. And right now I am trying to get everything possible to support USB-C as it is super convenient and the chargers are also really small.

Yes, that’s why I want to have a USB-C charging. I have a 60W GAN charger.

In the night I do look every now and then, plus if I need some special symbol, it is much better if you have it on the keyboard instead of googling

For personal use, I will use it just when traveling, as I have a more powerful desktop. Nothing too fancy, a bit of programming, tinkering. Will run probably Hyprland. What’s important is to have 5-6 hours of battery life. I will probably run some containers, YouTube watching, browsing, should be portable and support charging over USB-C.

Why do you need so many PCs or SDs? You can’t play on more than one at a time anyway.

You simply don’t get it, there are shit loads of people who are struggling with their mental health and for various reasons they cannot find and/or afford a therapist. So yes, better to have an AI therapist than no therapist.
