If I recall correctly I remember hearing from Level1Techs that Nvidia’s been having issues also on their enterprise solutions having thermal runaway problems and so other B2B companies are looking at AMD and ARM solutions instead.

Amazing Nvidia, here’s how I feel about your products so far:

The Fall

My deepest condolences to the die-hard Nvidia fans who are unknowingly getting fleeced this year (Nvidia for their 50 series aren’t selling native performance but Multi Frame Generated fake frames)

Thank fuck

I’ve been hoping that this would be added/fixed ever since I abandonded Windows several years ago

A mobile app requirement is an easy excuse for me to nope the fuck out.

Nvidia really living up to their fanbase it seems

As long as the trade is fair for both of us I don’t mind sending it to Europe👍

Edit:
rip, shipping unfortunately costs an arm and a leg

All hype, No bite.

I’ve got a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce OC that I don’t use anymore if you’re interested in buying it.

Personally I’d recommend installing in this order:

1. Packages from your distro’s native repository.
2. Flatpaks from Flathub (please avoid Fedora’s Flatpaks).
3. AppImages/Debs usually provided on the app developer’s site.
4. The Arch User Repository (AUR) if compatible.
5. Tarballs.
6. Ubuntu Snaps.
7. Fedora Flatpaks.

I’m not surprised that the OBS devs are considering suing Fedora for their Fedora Flatpaks.

For anyone out of the loop:
Fedora’s been packaging and providing apps as Fedora Flatpaks which cause users trouble cause they’re honestly pretty shit and known to be unreliable. The issue is that users assume that these faulty packages are provided by the Original Devs and complain towards the ODevs.

As endless waves of users complain towards the ODevs it causes them unnecessary headache as well as costing valuable time and resources to tell users that it’s actually Fedora fucking things for everyone.

All of this is unnecessary because if Fedora stopped installing Fedora Flatpaks as the default then there wouldn’t be this problem in the first place.

Fuck the C-suite execs🤘
I’m still going to call it the Gulf of Mexico🇲🇽

After watching the trailer I watched Welonz play it and I thought the game was meh but this is just my own opinion of it.

If anyone here enjoyed it that’s totally fair!👍

This could potentially be another title for this:

I’d imagine this is the case mostly due to the barriers to entry for console development still being high such as:

• SDK licensing fees
• requiring dev kits (whereas PCs and laptops can be acquired for reasonable prices from the junk shop to Ebay, and big box retailers)
• you need experienced console developers (unless you pay someone to port your game)

I could be wrong though

“The exact reason for this jump is unclear, but it could be connected to the rising popularity of Valve’s Steam Deck,” the GDC report says. “This year’s survey didn’t single out Steam (or Valve’s handheld gaming computer) as its own platform, because it’s a hub for PC and Mac games. But it appears some developers do view it as a unique platform. For instance, when asked to name other platforms that interest them, almost half (44%) wrote in Steam Deck.”

I think that’s a very reasonable guess, and I’d add to it that the simple fact of accessibility may also play a very large role in the popularity of PC as a development platform. Making games is hard, but doing it on PC is about as easy as it’s going to get: Learn your programming language of choice, give Valve 100 bucks, and bang, you’re selling your stuff on Steam.

Corsair’s i500 response:

First, we’ve ceased production of this SKU and no longer offer it, as it does not meet our performance standards.

For customers who already have an i500 with the Intel Core i9 14900k and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and are unhappy with the product, we will offer a couple of different solutions.

Solutions:

One is to return the unit for a full refund, no questions asked.

Second, should you want to keep the unit, and you are unsatisfied with how it performs, we will have something for you, also.

To bring the CPU power level down to better fit within the cooling envelope, we will be offering a BIOS revision that allows you to set the processor to the power and performance usage of a 14900 (non-K) CPU, providing more options for adjusting the cooling modes. We also will offer a rebate to customers who choose this option to match the pricing of the new 14900 (non-K) model. Simply contact our customer service.

Looks like Corsair is pulling ahead in terms of good, high quality customer support.
Thank fuck cause ASUS is severely lagging behind in this aspect.

I’ve truncated the quotes to provide the most critical info but I would highly recommend watching the video when you can! 🤗

If you are an NZXT customer that was sold a product and/or service under their:

Frames Per Second Guarantee

it is highly recommended that you submit a claim as NZXT fails to be compliant with their own terms.

“If they don’t honor it, they’d be violating their own terms which could potentially result in a strong civil action.”

• Steve from Gamers Nexus

Here’s a short list of NZXT’s scummy and potentially illegal behavior:

• overcharging customers
• swapping parts to the detriment of their customers
• silently price jacking during an existing rental without informing the customer beforehand
• preventing customers from cancelling subscriptions by redirecting customers to a 404 page
• silently increasing subscription prices after offering an implied free monitor, keyboard, and mouse

This is absolutely insane
My condolences to all Windows 11 users.

It’s becoming common knowledge that:

• It’s not a matter of if but when will xyz service/application be breached and what are the potential damages it could do to me and others?

"I assume every online service is not if; it’s when is it going to be breached? Right? So I operate under that assumption, that everything is going to be breached at some point. And so that’s why Recall was so scary to me where it’s like, I don’t care how secure they say it is, like you look at Spectre and Meltdown no one thought these things were going to affect millions of CPUs and here we are, right?
