1080p120, anyone?
1080p60 is like, what I expect a video game to run by default if no fancy tech is available
peak folio
I say everybody should shoot for 4k120 native, but I get that’s pretty tough. 😆
teal iron
4k or 120 are like where the technology tree branches off and which one I use depends on my setup and priorities
solid sun
I personally just need the game to play consistent, if lag is consistent, I don't even mind it since it will be the default experience.
peak folio
Getting 4k frame times down is impossible on anything that’s like greater than eSports game fidelity
teal iron
My monitor literally does not have better resolution, but it has 165hz
I think I set the display to 120hz because my GPU gets fussy otherwise
Also, if we're being realistic
120fps on a laptop is already an optimistic goal
peak folio
165hz is a strange rate
teal iron
The only games that will run at 165fps are games that are so old they're engine locked to less than 120
peak folio
videos are often 30 or 60 fps and 120 is divisible by both
165 you’ll get micro stuttering everywhere
teal iron
165hz is a strange rate
It's a strange monitor I guess
Works good enough for me, though
peak folio
Gaming monitors have all sorts of rates, they often overclock to get there.
But increments of 120 are favorable
120 is also divisible by 24 so even film won’t have to do the 2:3 pulldown.
If you’re gaming though and variable refresh isn’t doing anything weird then definitely use that.
*3:2
solid sun
it's not divisible by 24
like 60 is not divisible by 24
but it is divisible by 5
which 120 is too
solid sun
yeah but you can't apply the 24 to anything else.

It isn't their language, it is the definition of the word.
Those companies are more interested in the consumer rather than the customer.
The consumer is the one who is using it(parents buy kid a game system, kid is the consumer).
The customer is the one bought the item (parents buy mid a game system, parents are the customer).
"Technically" it is more polite for the corporation to say consumer because it indicates they are trying to make a product for the one who will be using it rather than something just a customer would buy for the sake of buying.

Basically, imperial units are more practical for regular, everyday use. Basically anyone who isnt a scientist, engineer, or doesnt live in a country where metric is the only legally valid math
peak folio
teal iron
They're more practical for people who happen to be taught basically only imperial, raised in a society that almost exclusively uses imperial, and shuns use of metric for everyday use
In other words, they are more practical for Americans specifically, and for reasons that have no real basis in logic or fact, but just the vibe we set
solid sun
abolished most everything they had from their British roots, expect this one part, which Brittain did move away from funnily enough.
teal iron
Because Americans get pitchforks and torches when someone says "meter", so young Americans are discouraged from establishing the mental comprehension of metric to use it in casual speech
You are laughed at and given weird looks for saying "that looks about 5 meters" instead of "they looks about 5 yards" so children here struggle to develop the natural understanding of 5 meters, and instead develop a "back-of-their-hand" understanding of 15 feet. Just like children in europe will struggle to develop an intrinsic understanding of 15 feet which they can visualize, because they are primarily taught meters, and are given weird looks if they use feet
And that is why americans find imperial "practical" for the "everyday" because we were laughed at when we tried to use metric, and have been trained to think metric is ONLY for science
teal iron
when in fact ultimately for the every day person both systems may as well have come out of someone's rear end because the mathetical or practical roots are irrelevant in the abstract visual measurements we make daily
Even though metric is base 10 and easier to convert, you aren't converting units except in a ballpark outside of a strictly formal setting, or other place where you will have a calculator, and americans will learn every stupid conversion so it doesn't matter that they're stupid, because the american knows them
Just like if I design a car with a very stupid steering wheel and reverse the pedals and make the gear shift use a Wii Motion Plus puzzle, and then train a thousand people to drive this wacky car, it won't matter that it's stupid because they can drive the car just fine so the argument that it is stupid will just bounce right off
"well I think it makes sense that i use the right pedal to brake because that's closer to my foot and having faster access to the brake makes sense"
The problem with imperial is not some hard cold logic, nor is it "better" at anything. The problem is that we have undersea cables that mean the atlantic and pacific ocean effectively do not exist, and two countries bordering us that also use metric, so we are talking to people who use a completely different measurement system, so the clash between the two confuses and disrupts communication that would otherwise be flawless
For most purposes metric is just better, and any argument otherwise is basically based on, fundamentally, that american children are spat upon and conditioned like animals to think metric is science nerd dork stuff and if you use it, you are a NERD who should be PUNCHED
prime agate
📝
teal iron
and because we struggle to outwardly admit this, we wrap it up in some dramatic spin of "comprehensible measurements" and "the every day man"
but we're always dodging aroudn the point, we were trained to use imperial, and untraining is a mentally difficult endeavor that most people, and no fault on them, would prefer to simply not do
And most americans are pretty sensitive to anything that "undermines american culture" and "american values", which means basically whatever someone feels like making it mean, because we're an extremely diverse country with very little unifying culture but by golly when someone suggests NERD things like METRIC being taught in schools, it is an ATTACK ON OUR CULTURE of...uh...not learning metric, basically
and so every time a politician, performatively or not, suggestions doing so, they get eaten alive by almost every voting demographic
also, most politicians suggesting we change are only doing it as a grab for votes and never plan on actually instituting such reforms
but that's a topic not suitable for this channel
humble parrot
I wonder what the on-going cost of having to convert units all the time is for this
teal iron
it probably amounts to a rounding error in all the time our computers spend doing things
prime agate
You're right, it isn't suitable for this kind of thing on this server... Perhaps now we move on to other things.

like that airplane that used the wrong units when calculating how much fuel to load on the plane, and the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing
though that can probably be attributed to negligence as I feel like the pilots should've noticed they had less fuel than they needed
if the difference was enough to force an emergency landing I feel like you could've eyeballed it if you're a trained pilot
humble parrot
I don't get the obsession with feet but to each their own I guess

arguably it is just negligence regardless because someone should've caught the error regardless

mint
bitter agate
Really? That's what I've been using for a year and a half. No issues. I even installed the AMD card without reinstalling and it worked first boot
solid sun
I did everything like it was shown to me in the video but it was stuck on a black screen for several minutes.
there was probably some setting that the video uploader who is probably very versed in the installment of OS turned off to make it work that is default on for everyone else, and forgot to mention it.
like some sort of boot option or otherwise.

Mint is pretty turn key

Re: Mint+Nvidia Drivers, Its doable but I found the drivers were fussy I think due to APT/Flatpak conflicts since theres some wonkiness to how Nvidia seemed to want to install your packages (it might be better now than it was when I wrestled with it a year or two ago but I havent had issues in a while so if it aint broke...)
I got around it by ensuring I was using the Nvidia drivers, not xorg-nouveau (System Settings >Driver Manager) and I had to write a BASH script to update drivers inside a TTY. Not Ideal but it is what it is, Script here in case anyone wants to yoink it (It just updates and cleans flatpak and apt, basically the exact same thing your update manager does, just it wont cause cinnamon to derp)
#!/bin/bash
echo "Are you are inside the command line environment (Ctrl+Alt+F2) (y/n)"
read -s -n 1 key
echo $key
case $key in
y|Y)
echo "Updating flatpack"
flatpak update
echo "Cleaning flatpak"
flatpak uninstall --unused
echo "Updating APT"
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt autoremove
echo "Done! You may now return to the desktop (Ctrl+Alt+F7)"
;;
n|N|*)
echo "Exiting, will not update"
;;
esac
Slapped that in my home directory (named update_nvidia.sh in my case) and made it executable and occasionally look at Driver manager for updates. Havent had Nvidia driver problems since. (Again Not ideal but again, it is what it is)
Just in case anyone else had that issue.
solid sun
I couldn't even get the OS properly installed to get to a point where drivers were asked for
boreal falcon
Probably how the installer pulled em then, using the install media would have been my next move to see if I could fix that
solid sun
as I said it was stuck on a black screen after doing some loading screen, and then I just turned the pc off and booted back into windows.
boreal falcon
Even through the USB? (Or whatever you had as an install medium)
solid sun
I had etched it onto a usb yes
I couldn't even get to a point where it was asking me to install it properly to select an instal location, it was stuck in a black screen
boreal falcon
Huh
solid sun
that is what I'm telling you, it wouldn't install
there was a few things I've read saying it could've been a secure boot or hibernation related issue.
boreal falcon
Secure boot would do it
solid sun
I would need to turn off secure boot at some point and try again, but I can't be bothered.

Didn't they buy or start constructing a sizeable ai data center in europe

peak folio
the two articles ive seen are "we havent approached the government about it" and...
Oh you’re talking about other mildly related things.
The “we haven’t approached the government” thing was to correct a statement made by a politician who was misinformed by a chatbot.
tranquil obsidian
Oh you’re talking about other mildly related things.
yeah; theyve been accused of using GenAI before, or asked about it, and their responses have always been evasive on the subject. given the sandfall and level-5 statements made recently, im pretty sure its them trying to cover their ass until the public comes around to AI
peak folio
In context they made sense
tranquil obsidian
The “we haven’t approached the government” thing was to correct a statement made...
yeah, it was about AI using their IPs and they said that they hadnt contacted the government regarding it yet, and people took that as "nintendo confirms it wont use AI" even though it wasnt even tangentially related
peak folio
Oh that’s the US government which was another case entirely
tranquil obsidian
the other statement was from an interview with miyamoto where they said they would "like to go in a different direction" when asked if they would use AI
which isnt really a "no"
peak folio
It was very much a no, really.
tranquil obsidian
nah, its legalese =p
if someone asks "is this ai" and your answer is "i wouldnt say its ai" thats not the most convincing answer
peak folio
You gotta take these things in context, it changes literally everything.
tranquil obsidian
the context was pretty straightforward
"is nintendo considering using AI?"
"we would rather go in a different direction"
"we would rather" and "we will not" are very different

"do you plan to use ai"
"We would like to go a different direction"
Well a different direction than ai would probably be away from ai, or at least away from the obvious implied use cases

would rather sounds more like:

Any chance the Klingon is recovering from the virus?

Virus?

In Deep Space 9, the crew gets transported back in time tk the Original Series Tribble episode.
During the episode, the crew sees Klingons of that generation and Worf repeatedly says, "we don't like to talk about it."
I forgot when it gets explained, but they explain it as some sort of virus that made them loose a lot of their klingon features. And when they cured it, they came back, "over time."
I think Brave New Worlds, their doctor cures it
Which puts things out of order bc you see almost actual Klingons in Brave New Worlds which is Pike as captain who comes before Kirk... who sees virused Klingons....

Well, the virus is introduced in DS9.
I believe a cure was spoken about in DS9, but I can't recall it. I do remember one of the new shows decided to create a cure

I think the Klingon you sent was the compromise to keep this look and be more attuned to the original

yeah, because people figured out that clicking an image generates more/better algorythm pickup and it's also harder to AI generate from that style.

I mean, with that game it was enevitable, ever since that one genAI cat game that was basically a real grift linking from it's steam page (that had fake comments from real people on it) to a store that sold (probably) fake watches and other merchandise, that had nothing to do with the game.
That was shown at some awards show I don't quite remember.
but that opened the floodgates for it.

The only thing I expect of aniimo is it being gacha slop, because it's going to be f2p, we will get the same Month Long battlepass system with free track and paid track, shop for cosmetics with overpriced ingame currency that doesn't match, on top of some gacha like system for some power boost or something most likely to finance this whole thing, f2p capture options are probably inventory or otherwise limited so you have to spent money to upgrade your inventory to get more stuff done etc.
