I read that in Leslie Nielson’s voice.

In theory he’s not wrong, except for that part where neither the optics nor (especially) the software come anywhere close to matching the performance of human eyes and brains and won’t for the foreseeable future.

If protests are going to be punished like this, folks might as well go full-blown eco-terrorist.

He will not unless we the people – not Congress, not the courts, not any other sorts of ‘checks and balances’ – make it happen by doing it ourselves.

…For now.

Spiraling wealth inequality that even the Democrats refused to acknowledge or fix, let alone the Republicans.

Every person in charge of an agency was literally selected for the express purpose of destroying that agency. It’s not incompetence, and it’s not an accident. It is deliberate sabotage and treason.

Disappointment Island is far from tropical. That’s probably why it was a disappointment.

[Though other people investigating the url seem to be pretty sure the images don’t have a per user url, so this theory probably doesn’t hold]

…yet.

If they send an image with a unique URL to each Lemmy user, they could link the IP to your account.

And to paraphrase Michael Bolton from Office Space, why should we be the ones who have to move? The corporations are the ones who suck!

I’ve got a couple of those that I bought shortly after the LTT video, but I’m still using my Roku because I still haven’t gotten around to jailbreaking and configuring them.

require me to move my entire family across town, (and pay 3x as much rent to live in the city…)

(I’m an American BTW.)

That’s not a problem with trains; that’s a problem with the rich and powerful having political influence.

Nobody knows. Literally nobody, including him, because he doesn’t understand the code!

Huh interesting. Are these displays all the exact same model?

Yep. I like me some symmetry.

I’m not sure if this is expanded further with RDNA 4 but I can try to find out.

Thanks very much; I would love to have all three displays freesyncing!

Display setup is 3x 1440p 100Hz.

I can’t give you any new readings because I just took the computer apart to do upgrades. This one is getting a 9070 XT, and the Vega is getting handed down to my home server for (hopefully, if it’s capable of it) Jellyfin transcoding and local LLM duty.

That means I’ll still be very interested in making sure it idles properly since it’ll be doing so almost 24/7, but it’ll have to wait a minute because getting it installed isn’t my priority.

(The desktop upgrade is complicated because the new card is too wide to fit in my old case, which sent me down a rabbit hole of picking out a new SFF case and replacing supporting components like the PSU and CPU cooler…)

I killed Firefox and waited a while, and now I’m seeing 17-19W.

I think it’s basically just bittorrent.
