I know that it is not uncommon. I just don't understand why people are doing it. In my opinion/experience you are fine by just wearing socks (maybe thicker ones if you want it to be extra comfy).

I get the point with the wet bathroom floor. But these textile slippers would not solve the problem. They would get soaked.

Because of wood splinters? Or do you think it is just uncomfortable to walk on? I don't mean this in a bad way, I am just really curious to understand this.

Just a question: Why are you wearing shoes at home? I understand putting on some slippers when you go into your garden/balcony or outside to grab the mail. But inside your living room?

I really like that now some Content Creators are working on providing useful information for Linux gamers. Especially information like bad Frame pacing or "unreasonable" bad performance for some certain games for certain hardware is a very important information to make a good decision when buying a card.

Me personally I am not very interested in the performance comparison between Linux and Windows. I choose Linux as my daily driver for specific reasons, and game performance was not a high priority. But knowing which Hardware might have strange performance problems compared to other Hardware if I wamt to game is always a very nice thing.

I liked that the Intel B580 was included in the charts. This gave me some usefull information for comparing it to a AMD 9060 XT. Only thing I am missing is if it is the 8GB or 16GB version of the Sapphire Pulse. But I did not check their Blog/Site post yet.

Just wanted to say thank you for the information that this is based on Wifi Aware and the proprietary AirDrop protocol from Apple. Helps understanding why there are some limitations.

Actually supporting HDMI-CEC is such a big thing because it makes it the perfect HTPC machine for Libreelec. No more need for separate remote to control your 4k HDR media player!

For me these actions of the Deutsche Telekom are already impacting usability and access for specific services. It also happened in my family where a game patch Download (FFXIV) was extremely slow and the update would constantly crash/stop. Only solution was using a VPN and first connecting to some other region like Japan.

And this despite the Deutsche telekom being on the premium side of pricing...

I am not familiar with english speaking (and reliable) gaming news Sites. Do you have a link to a trustworthy source to place here?

 

For non-German readers: AMD will move RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 into Legacy mode starting with AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2. Therefor these devices will only receive updates for security or other critical issues. But no new Features (e.g. FSR 4) will be added.

I think this a very customer unfriendly decision. Especially cosnidering the use of Ryzen Z2 GO and Ryzen Z2 A in the Handheld Market used (for example) in:

  • Lenovo Legion Go S
  • ROG Ally X

Does anybody know if it will be the same on Linux (e.g. SteamOS)? I did not find any information regarding support in the Linux Kernel Driver. But I think the situation might be the same?

What's your experience compared to ollama+openwebui?

For example I would expect them to have a keyserver hosting the public Keys of their customers and making sure that only the real customer is able to update his public Key. So nobody else can publish a public key for a given E-Mail without being the owner of the E-Mail.

An ideal implementation could be Web Key Directory (short WKD).

I did a quick search if mailbox.org supports WKD. It looks like mailbox.org Guard somehow supports it, but I never tried it. So maybe it is worth having a look at that.

I can totally agree. From my personel experience these machines work just fine for a regular family household (so like 4 users). Only downside is if you need a lot of storage. But for that it is (imho) a better idea to have a dedicated machine.

From my personal experience I can totally agree. I have a HP Elitedesk with a i5-8500T and it runs multiple Jellyfin 4K HDR streams just fine with Hardware transcoding. And it does this while hosting other services like pihole, minecraft server, homeassistant in parallel. So for a regular family household these machines are good enough. Don't know if it also works fine with more users (5+).
