Dude, these are dope! Thank you!

Wow! Super depth!

Ah fuck they’ve figured it out

I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

I can practically hear the Cortex Command theme when it’s portrayed like this

It’s really uplifting when you put it that way, yes

TIL: I’m just like Hertz

Nothing, I guess

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?

Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

I wait and let everyone figure out what the least broken Linux distro is.

Debian is stable. Stable is good, for an operating system; because I actually want to use my computer.

Not play with the operating system for 4-6 hours per day.

I was bicycling at high speed, closed my eyes to enjoy the breeze, and slammed into a concrete pillar, pretty much skinning my right leg in its entirety.

I hobbled home leaving a trail of blood, making some people sick on the way, treated my wounds with hydrogen peroxide and bandages, it took 21 days to heal and was intensely painful.

As I was laid up in bed and staring at the ceiling, I thought:

"I only closed my eyes for 3 seconds at 20 MPH. I’m never taking my eyes off the road in a car. Whoever texts me can get fucked."

Doing the speed limit while cruising in the middle lane is the proper way to travel in the United States, or just going with the flow of traffic. Being predictable is safe.

If the road you’re on has a 80 MPH speed limit however, and people are doing 90-100 in the left lane (+10-20) it is exceedingly difficult to pass someone without temporarily going high speeds yourself.

I’ve had a much easier life following a super easy rule for highways:

Left lane: Passing/Fast

Middle lane: Cruising

Right lane: Exit/Slow

If I’m in the left lane doing 110 MPH and there’s a pickup truck right on my ass, I’ll signal and go middle lane and just cruise for a bit.

9 times out of 10, I’ll see that exact same pickup or other car on the right shoulder with a state trooper writing him up.

It’s happened so often in my life, it’s made me believe in “instant karma”. Just let them pass.

The latest LD&R season is utterly forgettable. It’s like mediocre digital art student summer projects, designed to build up a portfolio, there’s no rhyme or substance to it, just all style or visual demonstration.

You’re not missing much.

The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.

It sounds like an interview question and not really an icebreaker, imo

Thank you so much, I just learned there’s a blue version

Well, you are absolutely correct. A 1-2% DoD is something for like, the Voyager Probe though, not a smartphone :)

I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.

I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I’m a “power user”, so my battery thrashing is higher than average.

Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.

It’s AccuBattery

Depth of Discharge, sorry – 0 to 100 would be a 100% depth (the entire battery), 30 to 80 is 50%.
