Anyone know cmf buds 2 vs 2 pro, which would be better and is it worth spending more

tidal geyser
#

i would imagine the more expensive one is better?

Could be

#

Sometimes more expensive isnt that good or not that value

why is everything usb c these days but motherboards seems to all be usb type a still

i get it

#

110% agree with u xD

mint umbra

But theres no way steam frame gunna be that expensive

#

1600 usd is crazy lmao

tidal geyser
#

well not really for the tech

clear torrent
#

because the mini pc isnt powerful enough

clear torrent
mint umbra
#

they said it would be cheaper than the index

#

so like 900 usd would be my guess

#

cuz wasnt index 1000

#

or was it more idk

tidal geyser
#

but the prices look almost like they are in CAD

#

when you get economy of scale things become CHEAP

mint umbra
#

pretty sure its usd cuz no way the controller would be 60 bucks lmao

#

in cad

#

most controllers in cad are 90+ dollars

#

atleast first party ones

rose stream
mint umbra

tidal geyser

but making them are cheap

mint umbra

well with the touch pads and tmr sticks dont think it will be cheap

since other controllers dont have those and are more than 60

Turn your 10″ Lab Rax system into a powerful NAS! In this build, I’ll show you my new 3D printable shelves for drives and SBCs, and walk through two custom NAS setups, one using a Raspberry Pi 5 with the Radxa Penta SATA HAT, and one with the Zimaboard 2 for bigger storage and performance.

yes, it is

Hello, anyone knows if the Linux drivers for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 are on point, I just got that GPU for my system and I am wondering about Linux compatibility, for now, I have a 9070XT, most videos I see say that it’s better for compatibility

holy shit my jitter is so low

i love having a goated router

performance issues is vague though

karmic quiver
tidal geyser

ill give cachy a shot

#

ill see if i can make a vm for it first to see if its appealing

midnight wind
#

I think it's a silly way to do things but I am not going to hate on it

tidal geyser
#

cachy make a lot of stuff that goes into other distros to help with performance

livid escarp
#

Mint has Gparted preinstalled and it can't see anything other than the usb drive that it booted from

midnight wind
#

it's too flat of an understanding of performance

tidal geyser
#

bad frame times and fps

#

not sure what else to say

topaz shale
#

the two main quirks of my setup are i have an nvidia gpu, and 4 monitors, and a lot of distros ive tried do not like these two things

#

bazzite is not that bad but it constantly rearranges my displays

#

but gaming performance is less than half of w10

So the drivers are the problems ?

bazzite has its issues

if i can boot from network then thats even easier, then i can rapidly test different OSes

but nvidia also has the issue of dx12 performance issues and should be about 5-20% lower fps vs windows

#

i looked into doing a piehole then later looked at adguard dns

#

and found out my modem locks out the setting you need to change

topaz shale
#

well pihole and other DNS is at router level. bridging your modem / router turns off its routing functions... meaning you would need a router after the modem

glacial cliff
topaz shale
#

hmm that doesnt sound right

#

now one of my local ISPS disables all useful router functions, but you can still bridge it at least

#

i seriously doubt they removed the toggle for bridge mode

glacial cliff
#

maybe im thinking of somethign different but it was somethign to do with all this idr

#

and im too exhausted to re research it rn

topaz shale
ebon marlin
topaz shale
#

run something like this with whatever router you want, hell you can even make your own with OPNsense or PFsense

and i ended up not doign any of the network wide solutiosn because of a blocked setting on the modem

For professional use... fine, charge something reasonable, or perhaps charge a percentage of the profits the company using your software makes. But for home use / hobbyists / students / those not making money off your software? Yeah $85 / month is not okay. Tis why I'm holding onto my copies of Lightroom Classic 5 and Adobe CS6.

But don't be like Autodesk in terms of their legal department... pepoJuice

"Hello, we are Autodesk legal. This is a legal demand letter to let us install closed source audit software on every computer in your network, including the Domain Controllers that nobody in their right mind would install our software on, because we believe you have pirated our software. If you do not comply we will sue you. Thank you for choosing Autodesk. Good day."

Now, obviously, we don't know if OP's MSP firm or their client did/didn't, in fact, pirate Autodesk or simply mis-use it against the license terms, but to demand installation of an administrator level software program on domain joined computers without providing the source code or at least some kind of documentation for said program is a big no-no, especially if the organization has ANY data that might be considered Health or Finance related.

so, i need a macbook for work. simple stuff, text editing, sound and light photo editing. is 8gigs of ram enough for that? im thinking on getting a M2 Macbook air. ive only ever had more than 16 gigs and only used macs once or twice when setting them up brand new.

and i cant use windows since premiere pro aint available on windows. i get the license through the workplace.

also a bunch of private use tbh, discord, youtube and such. mostly wanna use it for when im travelling

Ik there is a reason behind why they made it like that but I cannot remember in this current moment

2 GB modules were the highest capacity available, and they had those on the Titan to give it 24 GB, but if they had done the same for the 2080 Ti, it would've had 22 GB and been too close to the Titan?

I mean it's a GPU from a different era so I wouldn't be blaming the card

I guess so, it's still kind of annoying, though.

i have issues with artifacting and it went away after a restart but it reapears over time, i have tried a clean re install of drivers and the card is 1 month old, but for rma if they cant find a problem they will charge for it. are there things i can try or need to look into ?

worn tinsel
#

typically things have a higher chance of breaking early in their life

#

and later in their life, if it was a 2 year old card then it would be super abnormal but since it's only a month old it might just be a dead chip

#

maybe memory modules aren't on there properly

#

could be absolutely anything, doesn't seem like a software thing but do make sure you've got the right drivers

#

but chances are it's just DOA

thank you yess i do, it does not apear straight away tho its only after some hours

as of rn i can run furymark or 3dmark just fine after a restart

okey thank you ill just rma it then

here for example, makes me think that there's potentially a memory issue

#

because you can see a lot of it but some parts are missing

sudden rain
#

yess

worn tinsel
#

and you can see things over the top of it which would indicate that it's reading nothing in memory

#

and conveniently, when something is not connected you'd get nothing as a return

they'll take it back, there is obviously something wrong, just make sure you give them the process you took to get these issues so they can recreate it

its kind of new kind of old

i used the mobo en psu of an old build but the rest is new

right, with your windows install

when you set it up, did you have a GPU in there already

#

and if so, was it the one you have currently

sudden rain
#

yes i did and no that was an gtx 970

#

okay, then it might be a driver issue

sudden rain
#

i used the windows drive of the old build

worn tinsel
#

probably not from what i've seen

sudden rain
worn tinsel
#

no

#

if you reinstalled your OS with the new GPU then it won't be that

but you said you set up your windows with a GTX 970

#

i completely wiped windows and clean reinstalled it after some earlyer isues with the build in reset

worn tinsel

right, nevermind then

yeah it's probably just a dead board

#

i'd RMA it

i will then thank you

np, goodluck

#

if you're still able to return it, i'd do that and buy a replacement if you're afraid of being charged for an RMA

#

since returning it is free

#

but, if the GPU costs more now, then it might be more economical to RMA it, entirely depends on the price of things lol

it’s cheaper and more efficient to hold the trash before disposing of it into the ocean than collecting it once it’s already in the ocean

you’ll not find me giving a single penny to clean up the oceans or to plant trees, at most donate to waste management or recycling which then don’t dispose to the oceans atleast as much, and if i had the money i’d buy existing forests

With today’s technology, could really old gpus like a gt 710 be made really tiny; perhaps the size of a watch or a usb?

it’d be some chip with equal graphical capabilities

your question is obvious then

could you take the actual circuit design of the old gpu and literally just zoom it down to what's possible with modern lithography techniques

That'd be the closer question I believe

it’s the same gpu but slightly smaller node
