On linux a lot of the time you kinda have to shut down because it either won't go to sleep ("failed to freeze" some process or another) or it will hang or lock up during/after wake - especially if it has nvidia with its

Back then you paid $50 and got the whole game - and you actually own it. I still have game install CDs from that time. Now you pay $80-90 and you get a cash shop that is selling you incomplete parts of a game, and also it has online DRM

Pretty happy for anything that will throw some sand into the gears of AI development, given all the negative externalities that are becoming apparent, even if the admin is doing it for the usual dumbass reasons.

The updates themselves can be a driver of new Win 11 computer purchases. My dad got a bad update (I couldn't figure out which one) which froze his computer a few minutes after boot. I had to reset Windows, and it worked again after t

Over $1000 for a machine with only half a terabyte of storage, especially for gamers, is just brutal.

Interesting that they went with AMD for GPU, but not too surprising. My experience with a nvidia 5060 on my laptop is that nvidia's drivers on linux still have no idea how to reliably wake from sleep. Fixing that just not the priorit

Yep this is what caused me to switch to Anthropic from OpenAI a few months back, couldn't use any model newer than GPT-4 even if I paid for credits, unless I did a biometric check. I guess I'll move to perplexity or deepseek or s

I knew a guy whose laptop was stolen and it had a major companies game engine source on it - which was not open source (he had done some contract work for them). Personally I used LUKS encryption on a system76 laptop for 7 years and it work

Win10 is still getting updates if you opt in. My dad's computer started hard locking after a recent update - I spend a few hours trying to fix it, and I'm not terrible at debugging win10 issues, but I couldn't find the probl

Memory might be a moat. A cynical view is this is why openAI is buying up all the capacity for HBM. If they have all the memory then we plebs won't be able to afford hardware to run local models. So we instead we have to rent their

Maybe its better under KDE but on gnome/wayland, VSCode can't even remember its window position and size or even which display it should be on - at least for me. Reminds of the bad old days of windows 3.1. I have a shell script

Feels like there is some real momentum on linux gaming now. I mostly play older games but I've gotten most of them working acceptably in proton on my old system 76 laptop (oryp5, with a nvidia 2060; ~7 years old). The laptop actually

I happen to be looking around for a 15 or 16 inch laptop, but these look pretty unsuitable for me. Odd CPU choices, and no apparent way to configure one with 16GB ram in this time of AI-fueled cost crisis. All but the standard are way out

For me going to the gym (actually YMCA) is just a way to express agency in a society that increasingly is trying to rob me of that. I may be gatekept out of various other things, because I'm not attractive enough, not high income enou

I like how in copilot now, I need to consider in vscode whether to accept a tab-complete, because if its coming from copilot it will count against my usage, whereas if it is coming from the ide tools it will not. So I'm like, making i

For me it just inserted "Copilot" and I was only using inline completion, not agents. A bit weird too since my VSCode doesn't even have copilot installed as an extension (I had just started using that editor again on an old

Was this rolled out to individuals (especially non paying accounts) early? I was hit by this over a week ago on my side project, but it seems to be just blowing up now.

FWIW I've done some d3d9 and d3d11 tinkering and my stuff looks like it works pretty good under proton.
