This is the issue. Yellow light lengths are also inconsistent: I don't know what to expect. Could be long, could be short. It's not always safe to suddenly stop, and we don't know which is which.

I've got the i7 9570; with undervolting, paste, and pads, it's pretty good. Though yeah, running with GPU is pretty much pointless.

by mises 7y ago
That't pretty much my thinking as well. If paste and pads do so much, and if diverting a little bit of fan flow helps as well, why does Dell not do so? The XPS division is run by the same guy who runs Alienware; why can they not get

I've had a 9560 and currently have a 9570. Both have cooling issues. Undervolting helps, repasting helps, but VRMS become an issue. A guy named iUnlock did a pretty crazy mod where he diverts part of the fan airflow to cool VRMS, wh

When I read things like this, I start to wonder: when wealth inequality is discussed, how is it measured? I recall hearing that Jeff Bezos regularly loses billions due to fluctuations in Amazon stock. How much of the "wealth" i

If you're in America, that would (arguably) be a violation of your constitutional rights. Basically, the gov't isn't supposed to bother you until you committed a crime (until they have reasonable suspicion & a warrant or

I think they demand the focused work at similar hours, which is very mentally drowning for very many people.

Here's to hoping. Maybe I can finally get my nvidia card working on my hackintosh laptop.

by mises 7y ago
This is a professional machine. No one wants to buy it and use hacky work-arounds, they want good drivers. Which aren't an option with nvidia on macos.

Press up ten times. That's still what a lot of us do in terminal (particularly when we're on a machine without fancy shell history fuzzy-searching etc.). I guess I might press and hold at ten.

You can add a nice bar to i3, and probably do even more customization. I'm guessing it wouldn't be to difficult to fork. It's a learning curve, but not too difficult to get over (I'd analogize it to vim). It's ni

The thing that originally got me to switch to i3 was using a serious potato for a few months. 2012 core i3 processor and 8g ram (upgraded) kind of potato. Plenty usable with i3, but had trouble with windows or heavier full desktop environ

Depends on the application for me. .Xresources is where you need the biggest tweak, but email me if you want more specific help.

Depends on the WM you're using. I think (?) there are gui frontends to pacman? Never bothered to use them. But gnome is available on it, same as ubuntu. Of course, it's almost certainly a little less friendly, but probably not

I was a manjaro i3 user for months on my old laptop, but got a new one with an optimus setup (nvidia card with intel igpu). Yeah, I know, "nvidia bad for oss etc.", but that's what was sold. And cuda is still the gold stand

I sort of wonder: if we didn't publicize these the way we do, would it occur at the same rate? Terrorism happens so people can inflict terror. Less the terror, maybe it would reduce.

Please do the tab test. Some of us do this even if we don't need accessibility tools, as it can be faster (those who create forms which cannot be tabbed through are evil).

Regardless of positions on the issue, it's important to recognize that the UN has essentially no power. The only time it does is when certain powerful member states (mostly security council) agree to back a measure. In other words, h

I recall hearing somewhat archaic phrasing that something was "good for what ails a body", or some such. Specifically, I think it's an archaic southern-ism? Though you're right about the general trend.

Basically, socialism is a transition to communism [0], and so they are viewed as gradations of the same ideology. The idea is that communism is workers controlling the means of production, but there must be an intermediary where the govern

Honestly, I try to read both sides and triangulate. Wall Street Journal is good, though editorials are right-leaning. I like reason too; libertarian bias. Daily Wire isn't bad. Tim Pool has a podcast that includes decent commentary

Look at what happened with Rotten Tomatoes recently and Captain Marvel. Depending on your perspective, the site either erased ratings to erase a viewpoint or stopped a bunch of trolling brigaders. This happens over and over. I don't

To any one who reads this, don't actually do that. I wouldn't put it past Facebook to file a serious lawsuit against you. If it spread far enough, you could cause serious damage, and the SEC might even get involved.
