Used Aeron C's are $400-550 around here. I have two and they are wonderful.
So far I'm not a fan of Windows 11, but the 7800X3D seems pretty great. Cool, low power, and with BIOS updates, hopefully explosion-proof.
Yeah, I've got a script to de-cruft Windows 10 that I've built up over the years. Slashdot has an article saying that MS is going to add a nag screen to 11 if you have a local account. Since this computer will be my MSFS computer which requires an MS login anyway, I don't know if I'm going to...
Plus the traces will be shorter for better latency. Good thinking.
This will also be my first attempt with Windows 11. I've got a hazmat suit on order for the install.
I didn't believe this, but looks like it's true: https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-dems-call-for-state-gov-desantis-to-end-300m-in-russian-investments/
"To that end, an amendment in the state legislature came during appropriations votes to pull the money away from Russian investment...
Heh, SiriusXM used to have a bumper for their alternative rock channel that said "You used to rage against the machine, now you just rage against the washing machine". Won't the prohibitionists will be shocked to learn that country music talks about beer and whisky.
I know I'm late to this, but I've tried a bunch and for me nothing beats a used Aeron C. I have sit-stand desks, so I bought a bumpy, rocking platform thing to stand on. I use it when I'm sitting too and it's just about perfect - I'm 6'2" and 205lbs (188cm / 93kg). I've tried the stereotypical...
The Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger is pretty good and I like their lime avocado nugget sauce enough to want to try and make it at home. Their meat quality seems a little shaky and the one that's near my house has really bad staffing issues - it might take 5 minutes to get your order, it might...
Hey, if you like them, that's cool. I had some friends visit from a place with no Jack in the Box and one ordered some tacos. He took one bite and asked me why I let him order it. :P
I haven't tried their tiny tacos, but Jack in the Box's regular tacos are criminally bad. Like... horrifying. Apparently the thing to do is dip them in ranch dressing which brings the crime up to Interpol / Hauge levels.
Heh, it's a weird state. I live in Missouri and my ex-gf wanted to buy an SUV. She kept getting treated with suspicion because she didn't have her non-existent husband with her. One guy told her that some SUV was easy for women to drive and had lots of room for her future kids, but also had a...
I'd say you should upgrade when your computer can't do what you want it to do. I was thinking about upgrading my 9700K to a 7900X3D next month, but then I thought "why?". It works perfectly fine for the games I play, so I'm waiting until the 8000 series.
Unless you just want to upgrade for the...
80W * 365 days is about 701kWh. You pay 50 Euro cents per kWh? That's way too much. I pay $0.13/kWh in the summer and in the winter it's $0.0881/kWh up to 750kWh then $0.0591/kWh after. I thought our prices were high.
It's a program called glances: https://nicolargo.github.io/glances/
Basically I was just testing out the new kernel, checking temp levels, and making sure my very dumb Optane idea was working. The "funny" part is that I'm using 64GB of RAM and 839GB of virtual memory.
Every time I think about learning Rust, I look at the code and it looks like Java, JS, C, and Pascal thrown into a blender and I just go back to Python and C :P
Probably worth learning at some point though.
I went to Five Guys for the first time in 4 or 5 years today. They still give way too many soggy fries. I'd rather have fewer, better fries. Strawberry Barq's Vanilla Creme Soda was on point though.
So I was curious if using 960GB of Optane as a swap device would make having 64GB of memory at least somewhat bearable:
128GB @ 3600MT/s:

Probably worth doing. They have instructions for Ubuntu (https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/installation-guides/ubuntu/ubuntu-jammy-arc.html), and in fact only have installation guides for it (https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/)
Might be worth trying Clear Linux, I've been thinking about it anyway. I may...
Decided to give it a try. How it started vs how it's going:
I'm going to keep trying. This is Cinnamon. Gnome works fine, but it is literally the devil in desktop form, so I'm not sure which is worse. Unfortunately Intel's tools on Intel's preferred distribution, Ubuntu 22.04, don't seem to...
Never meet your heroes... I try to separate the art from the artist and usually purposefully avoid digging too deep about their personal beliefs.
As for the sir and ma'am thing, as a southerner that's kind of a core part of my interaction with people, but I've been able to curb it pretty...
Looks like Microcenter has the 16-Core 5955WX Pro for $1300, which is... fine-ish? Pop a set of this in there and you're ready to go:

As far as whether AM5 *should* work at full speed with 128GB... eh? I'd...
Ahhh... feels good to have a normal amount of memory again. Threw in another 64GB. It's kind of absurd how long it took to start up, and I'm running some tests to see how much going from 5600 to 3600 hurts.
Edit:
So my first bit of testing is with a Collatz Conjecture program I made. The big...
I leave my linux systems running for weeks, but I usually shut down my Windows system when I'm done with it, especially in the summer. Windows is definitely better than it used to be about staying on for extended periods of time, but it still gets squirrely some times. One drawback to this is...
You mean we're not all still teenagers? No more butter thread?
I found AT looking for info on the Abit AX5. I think I had an account on the old forums, but I didn't register on the new ones until 2001.
I've got a Debian 11.5 system running as a media server and I'm kind of curious to install an A770 on it. Supposedly its AV1 encoding capability is pretty nice, and it would be neat just to play around with. Has anyone messed with these cards yet? My understanding is that I'll need kernel 6.0+...
