Uh no, the ground pins need to be at the bottom so they’re near the ground idiot

A couple of years ago they pushed out an update for the enterprise version of Windows Defender that deleted every single program shortcut from the start menu and desktop on every single device. There’s no way that was tested at all

Why do AMD always have such a terrible response to these vulnerabilities? The article seems to suggest they’ve just decided to ignore this. They almost left zen 2 CPUs out of the Sinkclose fix and they took ages to release the Zenbleed fix for consumer CPUs despite it being available for enterprise ones when the vulnerability was released. And their microcode patches on Linux are only for server CPUs, desktop CPUs have to hope that their motherboard vendor releases a firmware update fairly quickly

Most games with anti-cheat refuse to run on Linux even if the anti-cheat itself supports it. And some anti-cheats just don’t work on Linux anyway, I believe the ones that do only support it by just not running when they detect they’re on Linux. If you’re interested you can check which games are supported here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ but bear in mind it could change at any time (for example Rockstar broke GTAV a few weeks ago)

Not the person you replied to but they’re probably talking about anti-cheat

You wouldn’t notice because you’d be dead. Your clone wouldn’t notice because it would think it was you. Your friends and family wouldn’t notice because they’d think your clone was you.

It’s definitely not that for me as I’m on Nvidia!

Yes that’s pretty much it, there’s a strip around 3/4 of the way down both displays that has white line flicker across it whenever there’s any movement on either screen.

Yeah I’m definitely above the relevant versions for kde and Nvidia

That’s a good idea, I’ll try the endeavour OS live environment as that should be close enough to my setup

How would I tell if that’s the case? And I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if that is the cause?

Honestly looking at the article this seems way less intrusive than pre-roll and mid-roll video ads. If this was to replace them I’d be ok with that. But this is Google so of course it’s just going to be as well as, so my adblocker is staying on for as long as it works

It’s on Arch and Debian as well which means it’s on basically every distro

Yeah I definitely can’t afford a 4090 at the moment lol

Yeah I didn’t think I used cuda! Most reviews/benchmarks seem to place the 4070 ahead of the RX 7800XT though. The only reasons AMD is still tempting is the extra VRAM and better Linux compatibility. I’ll have to have a think about it, thanks for your help though!

Not really, I do use VMs but not normally just 1 or 2 at a time, and I don’t think I’ve ever run into cpu issues with them (usually it’s disk usage if anything) Maybe the occasional bit of emulation but nothing that’s caused me any issues so far.

I’m still struggling between Nvidia and AMD on the gpu side, I’m looking at the 4070/ti/super vs the RX7800 XT, and the Nvidia cards seem to win in everything except VRAM and Linux compatibility. And there’s not much of a price difference between the standard 4070 and the RX7800 XT

Yeah it seems like a CPU upgrade isn’t worth it at the moment. I’m still a little unconvinced over AMD vs Nvidia though. I don’t use ray tracing much as it seems to basically function as a lag mode, but I am expecting it to be much better on a 40 series card. No idea if I use cuda or not as I’m not really sure what it is. However DLSS seems to be a lot better than FSR, and I haven’t run into any issues on Linux with my current Nvidia GPU. They also seem to be roughly the same price for the equivalent models here in the UK so AMD don’t even have price going for them. I would basically be choosing AMD for the Linux compatibility despite still doing a lot of my gaming on Windows and not having any driver issues anyway

Seems like I’m probably better off leaving it for now or just upgrading my gpu instead

Yeah I can’t justify a whole new PC at the moment, and with a cpu and gpu upgrade to something like a 4070 I should be able to get several more years out of it.

Cyberpunk wasn’t my only reason for an upgrade but it was one of the main ones, I’d heard the newer dlc content is quite cpu intensive. However I’ve just checked the steam page and the recommended requirements seem to have gone up again to a 7800X3d

More like Hestu because that’s a golden pile of shit
