You can buy usb to 12v fan adapters for like $8 on Amazon.

But for a pi you don’t need that fan to run at full speed, just the 5V of USB or that header + any sort of a heatsink on the CPU will be plenty.

This meme gets crustier and crustier every time I see it. It’s amazing after all these years people still post this.

Just configure your VM to boot the gparted iso. What virtulization software are you using? If it’s proxmox on your VM there’s the options on the side bar, then boot order. Just untick the main boot drive and only have the CD drive bootable until you’re done resizing.

When you reboot nothing is mounted because it’s off. Boot gparted and it will handle everything.

Boot a gparted iso and resize it from there. Trying to do it command line only, without installing anything is just going to be suffering.

I do NOT like automatic updates when they happen during work hours,

Windows doesn’t automatically update during work hours. By default it tries to figure out when you use your computer, and it won’t reboot during those hours. You can manually configure it too.

As expected, the i5-9500K doesn’t even exist, and despite recommending 12 GB of VRAM (video RAM), the publishers also recommended an RTX 3060 Ti, which strictly came with only 8 GB of VRAM. Not to mention the game also required 8 GB of VRAM at a minimum, but then also required a GTX 1660, which only has 6 GB of VRAM.

IBM has been all in on AI for like 20 years.

How long has Watson been out?

I know Video editing software uses it for things like motion tracking.

It’s all stuff your GPU can do, but the NPU can do it for like 1/10th to 1/100th the power.

What kind of hardware does this server run on? Is it dedicated in a rack, or shared/rented machine?

Are there any other cases you can think of where a custom-printed item is better than the myriad of mass-produced plastic items?

None at all. 3D prints are almost always worse than injection moulded plastic. Only if you need a very specific custom thing. Or it’s just convenient/fun to make your own.

Considering that wage theft is the biggest form of theft, It’s not good to dilute the word.

No, avoid flash storage at all costs for any sort of archival.

The charge in the nand chips diminishes over time when they’re not plugged in. In my experience flash drives tend to lose their contents after about 5-10 years. Better drives will probably last longer, but they’re not suitable that.

Core 100 series was out at the end of 2023. The LPE cores shouldn’t have been an issue.

Bleeding edge hardware slower on an older Linux distro. In other news water is wet.

That said it being that bad is legitimately impressive. It’s not like core 100 series where they changed from P + E to LP + P + E cores to shake things up. The 200 series shouldn’t be *that *different from it.

That’s the other thing. My new computer is a Mac Studio which takes up almost no space, and uses like 10-15 watts. Because I can just turn off my gaming computer when I’m not using it I’m saving significantly more power. Like just your CPU at idle uses more than the entire Mac actually doing things.

AMDs dual CCD CPUs tend to perform worse than their single ccd models in games. You can “fix” that by running the game only on one, and push everything else to the second. But I’d much rather not deal with that. A second computer is much easier.

Plus I can fuck with computer A when computer B is still doing other things without interrupting. That alone is worth it.

Also if you’re in a game and you have a video running that taking GPU horsepower. I’m not going to have a second GPU just to avoid that.

Performance. I’m a heavy multi tasker and I want nothing to get in the way of my frame rate.

For context my old second machine was a 2018 Mac mini with an 8th Gen. i5 and 32 gigs of ram. It wasn’t enough.

I have two computers at my main desk at home. One is exclusively used for gaming, the other is used for everything else. In theory Bazzite is perfect for me.

Free boobies?

Ok. But this this is a post in a Linux community. So one might assume it’s targeted towards Linux users.
