Hmm. There’s no reason anything that supports 6gb RAM shouldn’t run Linux. I’ve janked together much worse Lubuntu rigs before.

I don’t have any experience with any brand other than AMD on Linux, but my understanding is that anything other than AMD dGPUs are a crapshoot if you’re wanting any more than display out.

Arc looks great, but the drivers are barely okay at Windows. I doubt 3D works acceptably in Linux.

Given Arc’s relative performance, for Linux grab a 6600-6600XT-6650XT-7600-6700-6700XT and call it a day. Don’t think too hard about it.

Got a buddy who just picked up an A770 16gb. Seems pretty pleased with it.

bussy gaming

Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

Here’s an alternative article that won’t do that: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/ps5-slims-new-external-disc-drive-requires-online-pairing-before-use/

I am a big fan of the idea that by doing this the OC is effectively the ad-distributor in this scenario…

“eight of these occurrences”

I’ve been using various forms of adblock for many years. If a website refuses to show you the information it contains: the information it has is probably toxic garbage.

I’ve lived by “if it doesn’t load, I doesn’t need it” for over a decade and I’ve never encountered a problem I couldn’t easily solve better without the troublesome webpage.

That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.

I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.

I’d probably love the tedium of being a QA tester. I’d be happy to switch careers and take your job if it probably didn’t imply a pretty hefty pay cut.

All of the Steelcase chairs at my employer have survived some serious rough handling for multiple years. +1

I haven’t watched the second video, but I will say the game is solid and fun with friends. And it seems like community criticism is affecting a lot of the balancing and updates they do.

I think whatever concerns people had during EA the devs are attempting to address.

This person is evoking the idea of a game like BattleBit Remastered, by the way, if anyone reading this is living under a rock.

So I dailied an ‘86 for a long time. It’s a money pit. A delicious delicious money pit that you’re going to remember for the rest of your life.

If you crash it you might die tho.

It’s a great game, multiplayer shenanigans with friends.

The public audio is almost entirely people having fun which is a lot more to be said than a lot of other popular online shooters.

I always liked Mint when I daily drove it years ago. Nowadays since Steam appears to be more user-friendly I’m wondering if I should try something like Pop so I don’t have to do any troubleshooting / run a dual-boot just to run games.

I could never get my pihole to remain stable over long periods of time. Multiple reinstalls, two different pis, always issues with the network dropping or requiring both the pi and connected devices to be rebooted. A pain in the neck for a reason I’m not immediately able to figure out.

Why would fingerprint reading get worse if the ambient light is low?

This is what I’m here for.

BRB gonna go smudge my car. No demons allowed

I’m a big fan of people setting up their cactus/crystal collection on their dashboards.

It really establishes that /grenade/ aesthetic.
