Immerse us in dlc and micropayments no doubt. We pay for PSN to have multi-player and they kill servers beloved by many. RIP LBP series

FreeLikeGNU,

I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

The EX30 is currently manufactured at parent company Geely’s facility in Zhangjiakou, China

I found PROTON_LOG %command% insightful.

FreeLikeGNU,

Pretty sure there is no absolute universal position, everything in the universe being in motion relative to everything else as the universe expands, but that does not disprove your point anyways.

FreeLikeGNU,

Look up Dr. Ronald L Mallett. This astrophysicist has some interesting takes on practical time travel. There’s a great interview with him by Fraser Cain of Universe Today.

Apparently, there are enough dimensions for this. We just need to observe them on a multidimensional stair case to really enjoy the phenomenon

FreeLikeGNU,

I tried the Oculus 2 and liked that it gave me a very physical way to game as opposed to sitting in a chair. Unfortunately the weight on my head and sweaty headpiece were ultimately a turnoff. The glasses style devices (XReal, Viture, etc) are a much better fit for me and mine has 3DOF motion tracking so it works as mouse view in most games without requiring VR support. It’s much lighter and I can wear them for hours without the strain and sweat. Newer glasses are coming with cameras for 6DOF, hand tracking and eye-tracking is not to far off as well.

These glasses are powered by a phone or a pc with USB DP alt mode. This gets the battery and processor off the head and makes for an un-tethered experience (with a phone).

We have a fusion reactor in the middle of our solar system solving the spicy half of the problem already. If we are having a solar heat capture problem, how is a new source of virtually unlimited power (and heat) here going to work? How is superconductivity coming along to help mitigate this?

FreeLikeGNU,

I hope having a transporter device is more like folding space than particle-scanning and reconstruction. The scanning and reconstruction would still be great for replacing or repairing lost or deteriorating structures. Regardless, I have a number of questions that come up as we learn more about how our brain might work.

If our brain is changed in (near) death how would we determine what was lost?

Could we even reconstruct consciousness (this could be also gradual, but what is the speed of consciousness)?

It seems more like we would have to gradually move our conscious processing from per-existing wetware to whatever replaces it (even more wetware). It should behave like our brain as much as possible, but I don’t think we could avoid being different from what we were.

Our own brain changes over time, do we think the way we did when we were 5? How different will we think far later in life (assuming our brain is at least healthy)? I think we would have to accept changes in our fundamental being (which is already very challenging). The difference is that not only could we live for longer physically, but within the pure consciousness an entire lifetime could be lived in less than a second. We experience this temporarily in dreams, or while experiencing a life threatening event such as an automobile accident or the final moments of death itself. What if that was extended over physical months, years, decades? How would we deal with such a inheritance, who would teach us how to cope and find meaning?

Would we want to live life at the speed of the physical world after such an experience?

In other news, social interaction is linked to higher risk of everything else that can happen to a person.

FreeLikeGNU,

For all the people missing the point of this comic particularly in the U.S.: Look at who has held political and financial power for the last two hundred years, including this one. There are lots of pictures and paintings of people. Do you notice anything in common between nearly all of them besides having wealth and power? Think about the position of everyone else not fitting that description and tell us all again why you personally feel attacked and why this comic is not relevant.

FreeLikeGNU,

The only one that matters right now is the one that gets put on next.

FreeLikeGNU,

If you get spend a little more for a quality PSU, it will last through all of your other upgrades. It’s really one of the few things that can be totally useful even after changing out your motherboard for the third time with that new chipset required by your next cpu.

FreeLikeGNU,

That is a certification of efficiency but does not take into account quality of cooling (fan bearing, design in component placement, control etc), especially important in SFF, or of assembly of components. If cost is really such an important factor, I would consider a larger form factor where constraints would not be so costly. It would at least be easier to build a quiet machine when fans can be larger and run a lower RPMs with adequate room to route cabling and facilitate ventilation.

FreeLikeGNU,

Corsair SF Series, SF750 is the one I bought for my build and it’s been very quiet with a 0 RPM mode on most of the time I use the PC. Flexible “para cord” sleeved cables are very nice as well. I’ve had it just over a year without issue, but that’s not a long time for a PSU.

FreeLikeGNU,

best of luck on your build!

If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak…

thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!

Minisforum EM780 + Xreal Air 2 + Debian Testing

This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself...

There’s at least as much of a “massive discrepancy” between what Valve and Epic provide as value to people that chose their service.

FreeLikeGNU,

It’s a pretty cool way to use framework parts. I think the only concern about using the battery (as mention for the next iteration) is that in the event of a power outage, the video card adapter will not function.

FreeLikeGNU,

just because they started packaging wine with their app

Even if that’s all they did, that is more than anyone else is doing. What they really did was make nearly every game they sell easily playable without requiring you to use Windows. As byproduct, DXVK (part of Valve’s Proton) provides greater compatibility and performance for Windows users as well (Intel ARC driver and DX9 game support for example). They have salaried employees working exclusively on making this work and their development is open source for anyone to use modify and share. Epic or any other store front could freely take advantage of this work and benefit why don’t they do that instead of whining?
