ive seen this running endeavor on my media nas box, so I think its a plasma issue, as it didnt happen before when i had it running debian with i forgot which DE and version.

it sets the physical brightness of my monitor down and actually affects when i switch inputs to my windows based conputer

the first step if you have 0 clue is find out if the switch you have can be hacked via software. yhr ones yhat can be hacked via software, are the ~20M switched produced before May 2018. If your switch was made after (e. g model with the better battery life switch lite, switch oled, the few patched oh switch after 2018) it requires a hard mod to hack, or alternatively use a switch cart.

firmware for the switch im particular doesnt matter much unless youre hacking it with pegasus(?), which means you had an ancient swotch that eas never updated past like fw 4.0

though if you had a bad experience with jailbreaking nintendo stuff, I dont recommend it unless youre willing to learn about the upkeep about how to handle updates and stuff. the switch is alightly harder than previous devices (and imo isnt a high bar, but if you had problems with previous devices, its not looking good)

the advantage for pci-e generations isn’t the gpu side, but SSD side(USB too). CPUs by design, have a limited amount of PCI-E lanes they can distribute. Modern SSD’s primarily use 4x pci-e lanes, but if you have a generation newer, you can allocate half as many lanes to achieve the same speed.

Since at the moment, the value of even faster SSD’s are useless, what ACTUALLY becomes off value is having multiple m.2 slots for expansion. for example, instead of having 1 m.2 running pci-e 4.0x4lanes, you can achieve the same speed at pci-e 5.0x2lanes, or pci-e 6.0x1lane. Using less lanes on m.2 slots means you can allocate more bandwidth to other components(more m.2, more USB ports, etc).

this for eaxmple was the reason why experimental gpus like the Asus Dual RTX 4060ti existed, as its a 8 lane gpu, which had an on board to use the other lanes as ssd storage on motherboards that supported bifurcation.

i broke debian on my plex server and said fuck it and migrated to endeavor because im more familiar with arch

its actually the sole reason why i ended up paying for plex myself. its not because on ME that i ended up using plex, its moreso everyone else that I want to give my server access to with the least amount of hurdles that made me ultimately go that route.

being smart at something doesn’t mean youre smart at everything. not that im saying that jobs was smart, but its not a given. e.g how there are scientists who are anti-vax

its usually because HR didnt interpret tequirements correctly. sometimes when it says 5 years on x language what was originally meant to be said is that you are a programmer that has programmed for at least 5 years (kinda mid level) and you have mid experience with said language, and not necessarily 5 years of said language.

so 5 years of java programming should actually say

5 years of programming/mid seniority programmer who is comfortable with java

if you’re interested in running local AI models, that market should be looking at the strix halo desktops. that was basically 80% of the marketing framework did for its framework desktop.

would you have prefered they paid more for bleeding edge 3gb gddr stacks and put 24gb when only a subset would actually need it?

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

ill try to name things most people havent played.

I heavily recommend people to try Downhill Domination. think like snowboard kids or mario kart(specifically mount wario or dk mountain tracks) but on mountain bikes. Silly bike combat with soo many side paths for players to try to forge their own way on winning a race.

i mean kinda generalist there? are you using any piece of hardware that has an engineer as a ceo? (e.g nvidia, amd qualcomm all have ex engineers as CEOs)

gacha mechanics have existed before oblivion in many asian mmos

and i dont even say doom because of doom the game itself. theres one factor that doom has that almost all the others dont, which is how relevant doom was for creating a game engine, which would evolve into other game engines.

doom engine is basically responsible for quake, goldsrc, id tech, IW, source, all of which had many defining games.

the fact that games still being released till this day, has roots on an engine developed over 30 years ago

personally I think its Doom

you mean its not En Gee Nix?

is it possibly, yes. but if you have to ask yhat its possible, you likely dont have the skillset required to do it, and paying somone else is typically not cost effective

they already knew how it was given game for windows live and other launchers like the rockstar launcher. GFWL is an example of when you integrate it into a game, abandon it, and not everyone goes back to fix it.

which phoronix in question doesn’t do a raytracing section in particular with, so what data are yuou expecting phoronix to pump out? Their literal choice for raytracing is Quake RTX, as its linux native title. This is a situation where you’re looking at the wrong type of reviewer if you want a specific piece of content.

of course its not all games, but it becomes significantly more messy for the reviewer to test it becuase you start getting anomolous data based on a decision made in advance.

also its a phoronix review, and last I recall, raytracing is spotty on linux and dependant if it uses wine or not. in the case for liek cyberpunk it does, but if a game doesnt natively have raytracing, its uses are more mixed
