Also France has 4 nuclear-powered ICBM launcher subs. Even if article 5 doesn’t happen it can independently decide to kickstart the apocalypse

Are you running Steam big picture by any chance ? For some reason without hardware acceleration (off by default !) it has terrible performances on my RTX 3080 Ti (pop!_os, drivers 575) and affects the whole system.

Cyberpunk moment

I think Brelok is the one that did the eating here

YouTube does a shit ton of A/B testing so they probably didn’t roll that change out to everyone yet. I currently don’t have any issues either but they will eventually hit us with that shit.

Yeah I currently have Linux and windows sharing my only nvme drive because I wanted to use the fastest drive for the OS but clearly it’s causing issues. So I just bought a cheaper one that I will dedicate to windows, along with a sata SSD.

Do you think I can get away with just wiping the partitioned drive and reinstalling both OS, keeping their data drives as is, since they are already each entirely dedicated to one OS ? Or should I do a full clean ?

Just in time for my new nvme drive so I can fully segregate windows and Linux after that mf broke my install again

Yeah and iirc there have been some acts of sabotage in Russia that could have been carried out by actual insurgents, but as far as we know this one was Ukrainian special forces

Yeah my boomer dad (materials scientist in the civilian nuclear sector) disagrees. He’s been working from home (and from vacations sometimes…) at least a few days a week for quite a while now, and his old boss was apparently saying that they were going to need to hire 3 people to replace him when he eventually retires.

FWIW I also know some elder millennials who are against it, but I’ve seen how they run their business and let’s just say I wouldn’t take advice from them.

Maybe it’s just like a memory foam mattress after a while

It’s all fun and games until the bears show up

CMS is arguably worse than AZERTY. Or maybe l’m just too used to AZERTY…

French here, after having to buy a Canadian laptop I can confirm I didn’t go back to the french layout. Also the “english (Canada)” locale usually has sane regionalization options (like DD/MM date and distance in meters or kilometers, celsius temperature…) compared to the other English ones

I think I literally just had it happen again, not even because of windows update but by having windows “delete” a partition that I wanted to reclaim on my Linux install (in the process of moving Linux and windows to completely separate drives)

Then I think you’ll have much better luck figuring out a way to get a jack-to-USB adapter to work with your car’s radio

I don’t think it will work in USB. Afaik on PC it can only work with iTunes, so good luck installing that in your car. If it’s “that” old though, it should have the one interface that is so perfect it has barely changed in one century.

(The audio jack…)

French is also used in Belgium, and in Switzerland somewhat. Plenty of vpn locations to choose from.

Also iirc it’s just a shitty DNS block just like our piratebay block, so just changing your DNS to anything not hosted in France should work

It’s not bonkers though. Fill rate (the time it takes to render all the pixels your monitor is displaying) is a massive issue with ever increasingly photo realistic games because you can’t rely on any simple tricks to optimize the rendering pipeline, because there is so much details on the screen that every single pixel can potentially completely change at any given moment, and also be very different from its neighbors (hence the popularity of temporal upscalers like DLSS, because extrapolating from the previous frame(s) is really the last trick that still kind of works. Emphasis on “kind of”)

If you don’t want to sell a kidney to buy a good GPU for high resolutions, do yourself a favor and try to get a 1440p monitor, you’ll have a much easier time running high end games. Or run your games at a lower res but it usually looks bad.

I personally experienced this firsthand when I upgraded to 1440p from 1080p a while ago, suddenly none of my games could run at max settings in my native resolution, even though it was perfectly fine before. Also saw the same problem in bigger proportions when I replaced my 1440p monitor with a 4k one at work and we hadn’t received the new GPUs yet.

It is a scam if you’re buying 27" monitors like op. You can only cram so much dpi in a monitor before you get diminishing returns. I’ve been playing in 1440p, 27" for a while, and can barely see the pixels if I put my eyes 10 cm away from the screen (and I’ve been playing arma reforger, so there’s been a lot of squinting at bushes through a high-powered scope lately).

I’ve also used a 4k, 32" screen for a long time at work (in gamedev, so I wasn’t looking at excel files either… Well, actually I also was but that’s besides the point) and couldn’t really tell the difference with my home setup on that front (though I admit 32" at 1440p doesn’t look great sometimes, I also tried that for a while). Really, the most noticeable things were the HDR and the ludicrous fps I could get from having a top-of-the-line CPU and GPU (and 128 Go RAM also helped a bit I guess)

Idk man, I bought Sol Cesto yesterday, and I’m pretty sure my toaster could run it

Edit:

RX 6600, two 4k monitors

Bruh. I have a 3080 Ti and barely feel comfortable running my games in 2k. I’m pretty sure the 6600 was made with only 1080p and lower in mind.
