Ultra 7 155H with six P-cores, eight E-cores, and eight graphics cores; or an Ultra 7 165H with the same number of cores but marginally higher clock speeds.
WTF is Intel smoking with these naming schemes I can't even understand what this means. Thank fuck AMD is an option.
NordVPN literally will not let me delete my account. My 3 years is over, there is no method to delete when signed in to their site. You have to fill out a form with your payment details and shit to "verify your identity" (who remembers that shit from 3 years ago).
Literally emailed from the email associated with the account, called, logged in, etc. they won't delete it until I send my credit card info in the clear, over insecure email.
FUCK NORDVPN
Just go PC and don't worry about corporate lifecycles anymore
Constant cunty moves like this is why I will not spend one fucking red cent on anything Nintendo ever again.
Yet again, this was not impacting their business/profits in any way shape or form, if anything it helps keep their brand relevant, and they still fuck it up for everyone.
Pirate everything Nintendo.
Retroarch + Vimm's lair is one good source for ROMs for those starting out.
Ya simple solution: don't buy no-name chinesium crap regardless of the storefront and you won't be disappointed
1000% pixel 8 + grapheneos.
Sauce: former Samsung user tired of the bloatware, spying, terrible battery life due to constantly running bullshit in the background, etc. who moved to a pixel 8 + grapheneos. The experience is night and day and its quite liberating to finally feel like I own my phone and not the other way around.
Hey Proton how about you quit privacy-washing and actually prioritize and release feature parity products for Linux so your customers aren't being herded onto windows' data harvesting platform just so they can use your supposedly privacy forward products
Man this seems like a great target for Anonymous to permanently cripple... 🙏🏼
This sounds like tech-bro RSS.
Casually Explained as relevant as ever
"Fully anonymous"
"will track IP"
"Have my word I do no track or log IP address"
"I will track IP addresses"
Wow is this the first time a dev advertising anonymous software has admitted they plan to sell their userbase (once that userbase builds their content for them enough) right off the bat?
Its like a enshittification speedrun
For the downloading media part:
The *arr stack is what you're looking for + Jellyfin for streaming (Opensource, 100% free, and much better than Plex).
Prowlarr: manage your indexers
Radarr: find/automatically download movies
Sonarr: find/automatically download tv shows
Jellyfin: streaming your media
Look up trashguides for setting up all this stuff, very detailed guides. They are compatible with torrents and Usenet. I like using docker with portainer for easy management and if you use a VPN container you can selectively route these containers through the VPN so your other services that dont require the VPN dont need to route through it.
Fair but thats your choice to upgrade. No one says you have to, and they don't lock games behind needing insert current gen CPU or gpu
Umm what? Most of the comments there are telling them to get lost? Seems like them defederating for every little reason rubbed the rest of the fediverse the wrong way
Most (all) of the creators I watch have patreon/buymeacoffee/merch/sponsored videos. I've heard from many of them that the amount of ad revenue they receive from YouTube is a rounding error compared to that. No reason every single creator on peertube cant put a link in the description to donate, sell merch, etc and its not conditional on tiptoeing around youtube's ai fuelled demonetization that constantly steals the little ad revenue they would have otherwise received
Its called the steam deck
Damn FOSS Android Auto development is starting the new year off strong! First grapheneOS successfully implementing it on a non-stock OS and now this too. Too bad I got rid of my vehicles last year and no longer have a use for it on my ebike.
You joke but when "media" outlets boldly steal 90% of their content directly from reddit posts and comments without attribution for commercial use, maybe including a license isnt crazy anymore?
Up until December I was still using my old S10 without slowdown. Never factory reset, just debloated via adb and used KISS launcher (minimal mode). Since it was a snapdragon one, I couldn't unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom. Had I been able to, I wouldn't have bothered switching to a pixel and graphene os yet. Point being, if you debloat your phone using adb you should be fine in terms of slowdown. There's guides on GitHub for what packages to remove safely.
If you are able to unlock the bootloader and use a custom OS, even better.
As an interesting perspective on contact you should read The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu.
I'm on the third book rn and its an interesting thought experiment. Haven't read much Eastern literature before so its cool to get a different perspective on society as well
Get a library card and go to town on some books. I'm using reading to replace my social media/Netflix/YouTube time. Aiming for one book every two weeks for 2024 since I'm a pretty slow reader.
Bonus: If your library has Libby you can rip the DRM using calibre and build out your collection on your ereader. My library offers free music streaming and 5 DRM-free mp3 downloads/day from "freegalmusic". They also offer free streaming services for movies and TV but I haven't used those since the point is to read more not watch more bullshit, but could aid as way of weaning yourself off after cancelling other subscriptions
I wish the companies that decide to only allow SMS 2FA (or none at all) will fucking realize this sooner rather than later
Ya I'm so sick of hearing "can't mention that, YouTube will demonetize me" on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we're living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers
KISS launcher on minimal interface with a weather widget is my favourite.
So far this actually seems like a good, privacy respecting implementation of a chatbot. Good for those who don't want to go the full offline selfhosted route IMO
Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64... both were around the same time I think.
Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin'!
Undoubtedly.
I can vouch for airvpn if any of you poor saps need to get one. I've been through several and settled on airvpn in the end.
General rule if you see YouTube sponsor ads for a VPN steer the other way. (IE Nord, Surfshark, etc.)
Wow you have alot of patience trying to actually refute/educate this dumbass. Good explanations
LMAO blaming the software because you're too dumb to hit Ctrl + s. Presumably you're old enough to have been taught to save often. Now maybe your daughter will learn from your fuck up and actually SAVE HER WORK.
Also she's never going to learn to type well if you just do it for her. Get her Mavis Beacon for Christmas this year and stop doing her homework for her.
Go watch "The Cove" and you'll see why Japan isn't doing anything.
Put me on the waiting list, I'd buy a battery that's been strategically re-located from some rich fucks car to my solar setup.
STEAL - Strategic Transfer of Equipment to Alternate Locations
Sounds like maybe you need a math review lol
How many HDD are you running? Set to spin down or no? Those spinning all the time add up quickly.
Sleep state and power States are different things... I've never heard of power profiles causing issues. I'd try keeping sleep disabled in BIOS and then look into what you need to change to allow the processor to idle/downclock. There's no reason this shouldn't work I'm aware of.
Could try undervolting as well.
Not having any experience with this I find it hilarious that most of the spam comes from googlegroups
Bro if it sounds too good to be true it is. Of course they aren't going to tell you its stolen. 🙄
Go to your local police station with info on the seller and report it. As it is you are most likely in possession of stolen property, which "a reasonable person ought to have known" was stolen. Could be part of a larger stolen goods ring, maybe your tip will help shut them down so the next person doesn't get fucked too.
Red Wing boots (only the classic ones). I've had my Iron Rangers for 6 years edit: 7 years now as my primary pair of non-athletic footwear. Occasional brush with a bit of conditioner and they look and feel amazing with no signs of slowing down. Will be replacing the sole when it eventually wears out but the original minilug is still going strong
Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.
People saying "doesn't matter" aren't considering someone brand new to Linux would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won't know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn't be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they're asking specifically for gaming.
Do not use any AI other than self-hosted offline, opensource models
I wonder if thats because most of the traffic was just bots all along who obviously aren't going to leave in protest
