Branding rule in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I like to make fun of my home state. It's a pretty conservative place so the idea of a woman with a penis offends them.

Snacks in c/gondaily@lemm.ee
[–] OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It took a lot of effort, but I got rid of snacks a few weeks ago. I got rid of desserts a couple of months ago. Sadly, I still take in way too many carbs right now, but I'm just taking it one step at a time.

Keep up the fight. ✊

Wow. I was hoping someone would make this community. I'd love a Kei, but I'd need to drive on the interstate for most of what I need to haul.

I think 70s-80s small pickups are going to become collectables in the future.

Data suggests RTX 5090 prices are slowly stabilizing — The average selling price on eBay has dropped to $4,000 in c/nvidia@lemmy.zip

It's not going to get to MSRP. As long as Nvidia is making higher profit margins elsewhere, gaming is going to be on the back burner.

The 40 series hasn't reached MSRP. It's no accident.

Stuff like this is why I don't get an Xbox account.

Nice. I'm planning to get a compact pickup soon. The prices are starting to get really steep where I live. It's like $4000+ for a 25 year old truck with 180,000 miles on it.

They all exist for Windows 11. DDU is highly recommended from what I've seen in forums.

NVIDIA Chat With RTX (www.nvidia.com)
 

This is an interesting demo, but it has some drawbacks I can already see:

  • It's Windows only (maybe Win11 only, the documentation isn't clear)
  • It only works with RTX 30 series and up
  • It's closed source, so you have no idea if they're uploading your data somewhere

The concept is great, having an LLM to sort through your local files and help you find stuff, but it seems really limited.

I think you could get the same functionality(and more) by writing an API for text-gen-webui.

Today I learned Columbia had a Black business district. Luckily, it didn't suffer the same tragic fate of Tulsa or Wilmington.

ASML is the only company that produces equipment needed to make the most sophisticated semiconductors, and demand for its products is a bellwether for the industry’s health.

I decided to do a motherboard swap without reinstalling. (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/5980880

To start off with I had a Ryzen 3400G and an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max that had become unstable and took several tries to boot. I decided to swap in an ASUS Prime B550M-A wifi.

The only issue is I was triple booting Kubuntu, Windows 7, and Windows 10, so this would be interesting.

TL/DR:

Kubuntu booted normally. Like seriously, just a regular boot, no messages or anything.

Windows 7 froze a few seconds into the loading screen. I tried rebooting and using safe mode, but that froze too.

Windows 10 gave a bunch of 'rechecking' and 'fixing file system' messages, and after about 2 reboots with more messages, opened to a workable desktop.

Does anybody use "a scissors"? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I was watching an episode of Monk (S03E12), and in the first few minutes, the detective asks his assistant "Do you have a pliers?" That immediately struck me as weird, but later, towards the end of the episode, he makes the comment "This was cut with a scissors." The only place I've ever seen 'a scissors' was in old Peanuts cartoons, and I've never ever heard 'a pliers', but I guess it could make sense in a way.

I grew up saying a pair of scissors or pliers, which is weird in its own way, since it's a single object. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever heard these terms.
