It looks like the next-gen Zen 5 AMD cpus will be another large leap anyways, so not needing to upgrade now should make you even happier down the line! :)

Gonna be interesting to see if the community effort to get an oculink port goes anywhere, would make using it with an eGPU much more viable. Regardless, it sounds pretty great from this review and the…

Is there a way to randomize a few inconsequential ones of these on each page load? i.e. subtle canvas rendering changes, report adding or removing a few installed fonts.

I don't know if this would be a very long-term solution if the big ones (ok, google) did it. Advertisers would catch on very quickly, and some legitimate review sites which might get funding thro…

Also cautiously optimistic about this. If it can get people quicker diagnoses, or even handle very simple stuff and reduce doctors' workloads without compromising on quality, it's great. You…

For laptops with two DIMM slots you would usually want both populated anyways for dual-channel ram speeds. CAMM does dual channel with one module. I'm wondering whether amd or intel will match ap…

Hoping this drives down the price for the 7800XT or older used models in the near future. That being said, these look competent enough, just stingy with VRAM still making them less desirable for longe…

It's great to see optimism on here, especially about people's personal open source projects! Cynicism is appropriate when talking about commercial and larger projects and news, but for peopl…

Wouldn't you also need other higher-end components to interface with and support higher bandwidth to effectively make use of all of that VRAM?

The thing that always gets me about this is that the urgency of this problem is just ignored by the people in power. Here in Germany, there have been countless promises to improve the situation and bu…

This is a great development. It looks to greatly decrease the advantages soldered ram has compared to upgradable SODIMMs in laptops. It both allows for LPDDR5 ram and for slightly thinner designs. Hop…

There are probably some people who only have enough motor function to use one joystick, and then use other, custom input devices to assign to other buttons or potentiometers.

Really hoping the community-designed Oculink port works out as it doesn't look like they'll make one officially. I'm not interested in a laptop with an integrated GPU since I'm unl…

At least they're trying to get firefox usage back up. I've seen some ads for it on instagram here in europe.

similar to the old memes of windows 8 being malware proof because it's incompatible with most of it?

In my experience you'll sadly still run into issues when running apps that weren't designed by the original authors to be used as flatpaks due to the permission issues you mentioned. I see i…

Snaps have some cool use cases, like the one you mentioned. flatpak isn't there yet for CLI apps or hosting stuff from when I last checked, and the snaps for things like nextcloud just work. On a…

If you have a VR headset, you could try the excellent VR mods for them, which makes them much more impressive to play nowadays in my opinion!

That's true. You'd slow it down a bit with the limited price increase & lowest-price-in-a-certain-timeframe rule, but you'd need some other remedy to plug that loophole.

Some sort of wiki-style site would be pretty neat, but on the other hand I also appreciate how barebones hn is and how it sticks to it's single purpose pretty well. Also getting a consensus on th…

You could modify it so you have to sell it at that price you listed if you decide to sell it at any point. Of course you'd need a system to feature in normal price appreciation but that can al…

That's great! (i mean this unironically in case that came off sarcastic) I'm not a kde contributor myself, but they seem to have a matrix channel for that purpose at [ https://web…

The pointieststick blog is great in general, even though I don't use KDE I enjoy reading the posts that they post on there!

I agree on the spacing part, but it's not fair to complain about it and not submit actual solutions to them. Have you tried getting to know their contribution process, looking at their current de…

if your hands cramp when using a switch, the deck might be good for your hands. I've had the same issue with the low stick placement on it and the deck has been an ergonomic joy.

I'd argue the steam deck is equivalent if not better for couch co-op! You get to connect pretty much any bluetooth controller to it at the same time, you can pair a ps4 controller, a ps5 controll…

Yeah, for games that don't quite run at 60fps. You set the screen to 40 hertz, the difference between 30 and 40 is HUGE latency and general smoothness wise.

I think that rumor was mostly based on an old screenshot from a documentary and the korean filings for a new WiFi6e device, which turned out to be this deck revision, so I'd put less weight on th…

No, it sadly doesn't do VRR and neither does this new one. According to the LTT video[0], it's because of the internal connector that the internal display is attatched with, because external…
