I'm a dinosaur, still browsing on a desktop PC. But I'm going to see if there's a similar plugin I can use. Thanks for the tip.

Benchmark numbers are nice, but none of that matters until we see the price it actually sells for.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think it's rude to ask someone why they're not married and/or don't have kids, especially if you just met.

Just for kicks, I told a few people I was divorced and they were totally ok with it. But saying you're not married invites a ton of follow up questions.

It points out how the typical person doesn't participate in the electoral process, but still complains about policies that elected leaders enact.

Whether it's funny or not is up to you. Comedy is subjective.

I love the Shin and Buldak brands. I could probably eat ramen every day, but I keep seeing articles about how refined, bleached flour is linked to heart disease. We just can't have anything nice.

I didn't realize Schroeder was that much younger than the rest of the gang. So I guess this makes Lucy a cougar since she's always chasing him.

Damn. I've been looking for some decent whole-wheat ramen for ages. I can't believe it's not more popular.

Little Bobby Tables nods approvingly.

We (Americans) use the word job for all those things, but actually getting paid for them is illegal. 😡

Or when I make a meme, but it's not really pertinent to anything right now, so I leave it on my drive and just wait ...

If they cancel my $5/month plan, I'm out. I'm not spending any more than that.

Apparently the xcancel link is broken, so there are the pics



 
 
 

I don't know if anyone here uses [Tamper|Grease]monkey, but I asked my LLM to come up with a redirect from Xitter and it gave me this gem:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Redirect x.com to xcancel.com
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @match        https://x.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    var url = window.location.href;
    url = url.replace("https://x.com/", "https://xcancel.com/");
    window.location.replace(url);
})();

Works like a charm.

 

Anybody else grow up watching The Secret Life of Machines?

It was an amazing show. Tim Hunkin is still around and making Youtube videos. Sadly Rex is no longer with us.

 

The Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 and Ryzen AI MAX 390 are supposed to be Apple M4 and Apple M4 Pro competitors that combine high efficiency with some pretty crazy performance numbers in gaming, AI and creator workloads. That's because this Strix Halo design combines an insanely powerful CPU with a huge GPU onto one chip. The end result is something special and unique in the ROG Flow Z13 2025.

 

Yesterday I got bored and decided to try out my old GPUs with Vulkan. I had an HD 5830, GTX 460 and GTX 770 4Gb laying around so I figured "Why not".

Long story short - Vulkan didn't recognize them, hell, Linux didn't even recognize them. They didn't show up in nvtop, nvidia-smi or anything. I didn't think to check dmesg.

Honestly, I thought the 770 would work; it hasn't been in legacy status that long. It might work with an older Nvidia driver version (I'm on 550 now) but I'm not messing with that stuff just because I'm bored.

So for now the oldest GPUs I can get running are a Ryzen 5700G APU and 1080ti. Both Vega and Pascal came out in early 2017 according to Wikipedia. Those people disappointed that their RX 500 and RX 5000 don't work in Ollama should give Llama.cpp Vulkan a shot. Kobold has a Vulkan option too.

The 5700G works fine alongside Nvidia GPUs in Vulkan. The performance is what you'd expect from an APU, but at least it works. Now I'm tempted to buy a 7600 XT just to see how it does.

Has anyone else out there tried Vulkan?

 

Well, it was nice ... having hope, I mean. That was a good feeling.
