I don’t have any experience with any brand other than AMD on Linux, but my understanding is that anything other than AMD dGPUs are a crapshoot if you’re wanting any more than display out.

Arc looks great, but the drivers are barely okay at Windows. I doubt 3D works acceptably in Linux.

Given Arc’s relative performance, for Linux grab a 6600-6600XT-6650XT-7600-6700-6700XT and call it a day. Don’t think too hard about it.

Got a buddy who just picked up an A770 16gb. Seems pretty pleased with it.

bussy gaming

Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

If you want something more Android-y the Sony NW-A306 exists.

Here’s an alternative article that won’t do that: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/ps5-slims-new-external-disc-drive-requires-online-pairing-before-use/

I am a big fan of the idea that by doing this the OC is effectively the ad-distributor in this scenario…

“eight of these occurrences”

I’ve been using various forms of adblock for many years. If a website refuses to show you the information it contains: the information it has is probably toxic garbage.

I’ve lived by “if it doesn’t load, I doesn’t need it” for over a decade and I’ve never encountered a problem I couldn’t easily solve better without the troublesome webpage.

That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.

I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.

I’d probably love the tedium of being a QA tester. I’d be happy to switch careers and take your job if it probably didn’t imply a pretty hefty pay cut.

Ooooh oooh I know this one! Due to the overwhelming success, they’re going to shut down F099 as soon as possible.

I think some MBA types at both companies are starting the process to turn PC gaming into a new-car sales model.

It’s where flagship smartphones have been going for a while now.

Your stripper name is City Where You We’re Born + Can You Drive Stick Shift + The Last 4 Of Your SSN.

Damn they got me again

2TB NVME 3.0 DRAM drive for my OS and games. + an extra 2TB NVME DRAMless 4.0 just games drive.

The partner’s PC is a 512GB SATA DRAMless SSD boot drive. + 1TB SATA DRAMless SSD games storage + 1TB HDD extra games drive for less frequently used games.

The only noticeable difference is between the HDD and any of the SSDs. I’m not entirely sure if you blind-tested me on loading games between that 512 and either of my NVME drives I’d be able to tell the difference. Although I haven’t tried any of those recent directstorage games.

All of the Steelcase chairs at my employer have survived some serious rough handling for multiple years. +1

I haven’t watched the second video, but I will say the game is solid and fun with friends. And it seems like community criticism is affecting a lot of the balancing and updates they do.

I think whatever concerns people had during EA the devs are attempting to address.

This person is evoking the idea of a game like BattleBit Remastered, by the way, if anyone reading this is living under a rock.

Fairphone being locked to /e/ to keep warranty in the US is a big detractor for a lot of the types of people that would want one.

I feel the best-of-both-worlds move nowadays is to get an iPhone SE and something like the Sony NW-A306. Just embrace a small dedicated media device, iOS for privacy but still getting to use the stupid iMessage and FaceTime features all of your asshole friends use, and an awesome DAP that you can install that one Android app you need for whatever reason.

Hey at least Xbox can play CDs.

PS5 is incompatible. [insert Techmoan video here]
