Toes , to technology in Asking for Laptop Recommendation – Offline GPU

Whatever laptop you do choose, make sure it has a fully featured USBC port. So you have the option to use an eGPU.

pixely ,

That’s a ThunderBolt port :)

Toes ,

Thanks to the people responsible for the USB standards, this is a popular misconception.

For example there can be PCIe Tunneling support in USB.

pixely ,

Thanks for the correction. I was definitely out of date, what I said was only true during the USB 3 era.

So this is an optional part of the USB 4 spec, but from what I can tell this is required for PCs shipping with Windows 11 and USB 4 ports. Yes, this seems like more manufactured confusion courtesy of USB IF.

Toes ,

Yeah the standards are a real mess. Even the cables can’t be trusted.

I hope when they do USB 5 all features are mandatory and all the cables are forced to qualify.

There is no way to see in that picture that all tubes have the same volume in them. This could be massively unbalanced.

kolorafa , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

Gauguin - Sudoku-like game for Android (on F-Droid)

The instructions are not clear at first so it’s better to start the game a new with lower difficulty.

MedicPigBabySaver , to science_memes in PSA: Libraries

Yes

I thought it was NOT shutting down and is instead turning into 100% a news site only?

nullpotential OP ,
@nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Functionally speaking the distinction is negligible. Users won’t be able to download patches from the site, and new patch submissions won’t be accepted.

@jay@mbin.zerojay.com avatar

People also used RHDN as a news source to find out about new hacks and translation releases, and it was the best resource for doing that. And it sounds like it still will be going forward, so... I disagree with you on that.

Oh, like abandonia? Their last six articles, all newsvertainment for gambling shit, are years old, but their database is still there last I checked.

RacoonVegetable , to memes in Private Capital vs Central Planning

Are you really saying that Elon is the reason America doesn’t have high speed rail?

LemmyHead ,

Sounds ridiculous to me. If politicians didn’t decide on the rail system because of elon, it’s still a problem caused by the politicians

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d say Elon is a symptom of an underlying problem which is relying on private capital to provide infrastructure.

keepcarrot ,

He’s a reason, but not a total one by any stretch

bountygiver ,

he is indeed a part of a problem. Car manufacturers have been quite responsible for dismantling America’s public transportation infrastructure.

I have LTS and zen kernels installed in addition to the default Arch one, that should prevent this yes?

I’m not sure - I had zen and the default kernel and both were inaccessible

Just like when hexbear.net called them out on different terrible takes (ie what counts as csam and other awful mods)

Why do they go through the effort of banning people from individual communities when site banning should be enough? It honestly just comes across as vindictive.

Arfman , to asklemmy in Honest question, how many of you watch the autoplaying videos on websites ?

I hate it when more when I’m on my mobile and have to reserve precious data

TheRedSpade , to science_memes in Potoos

Don’t assume that I’ve heard of anything. For all I know the creator of this meme coined the phrase(?) “hawk tuah”.

My wife is a library administrator in (depending on how you want to look at it) a large town or a small city.

Some of the things the library offers people might not expect:

• Free 3D printing. • Free large format printing. • Free sewing machines. • A ‘libary of things’ where you can check out things like tools or musical instruments. • Tabletop RPGs you can take home or play there with people. • A teen room with an XBox and a Playstation and a bunch of games, but adults are welcome too. • eBooks and streaming audiobooks, movies and TV. My wife listens to audiobooks constantly and hasn’t paid for one in years.

You can also book a librarian to basically be your own personal researcher for a certain amount of time and they will even deliver books to you and pick them up later if you need them to.

Soon, a new branch will be opening. It will have a room with a lockable door and a signup sheet, one person allowed at a time. Inside will be a shower, a washer and a dryer, free to use.

By the way, if a library doesn’t have the item you want but another library has it, they can get it for you from that library.

Libraries are amazing.

RaccoonBall ,

I love the musical instrument loan programs. I loaned a violin for a month to test out whether I wanted to learn to play it.

I like it and the experience gave me enough of an understanding of the instrument to feel comfortable buying a used one to continue on with.

I don’t think I ever would have started learning it without the library program, the instrument is so intimidating

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s awesome! My wife brought home a ukulele to try, but then she never tried it and brought it home. On the other hand, she’s already very good on piano, so that’s not the worst thing in the world.

neme , (edited ) to fediverse in Can someone please explain the nuance of federation that allows this?

It’s a different colour, so it’s just what that user has set as their display name.

nossaquesapao ,

Some good trolling they did out there lol

Yep… and that’s a blockin’ anyhow.

This is why every frontend needs an option to disable display names. This and the emoji and zalgotext.

LEONHART , to science_memes in Geography 101

Onward, men! Full sails to the horizon! On my oath, we’ll make it to Ikeland by morning!

Oh, there will be Ikes as far as the eye can see, I tell you! Tall Ikes, short Ikes, God-fearing Ikes! Our coffers will overflow with the abundance of Ikes!

You who would doubt me, who would claim the impossibility of such a paradise, you cowards who hide from ambition and surround yourselves with the petty offerings of Steve Island or David Cove, why you would not know how to handle the Ikes of Ikeland!

But I am a man of greater mettle, and I will know this new land.

Raise the anchor. The Ikes await.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

I like Ike.
