That’s what the test is, as it seems to be primarily designed for workstations that need rapid swappable GPUs, but the point of the article is that it’s a new port that could be included on things like laptops and provide the GPU at 97.7% bandwidth, basically yes a riser cable, but that’s a 50+% increase over the best available eGPU solutions for laptops, which does seem like a pretty good increase

Don’t most of those countries provide an acceptable form of ID? Rather than the $30-70 cost for compliant IDs in the US

Agreed, but an important thing to note is that list of games is smaller than a couple years ago, and I believe many of the ones that were removed because the DRM was removed are listed at the end. A couple of those were just mistaken releases, but several were allowed on GOG by CDPR with DRM fully intact, most notably Hitman 1 with an always-online requirement, and several others had DRM fully intact and were removed only when enough people complained. My point isn’t and never was “GOG is bad too, actually”; GOG remains the first place I look when I’m looking for a game, and I install it with the offline installer, which gets archived on the NAS once I’ve established it works and I reinstall the game with Galaxy because cloud saves and auto updates are convenient. My point was that, while ABSOLUTELY a rarer occurence than on Steam, GOG officially DOES allow DRM for single player games, and it’s only vigilant complaints that keep that list small

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/drm_on_gog_list_of_singleplayer_games_with_drm/page1 The list is still maintained

GOG also allows DRM, it’s just not as common

You did not in fact read this right

This is super great and well done but I saw “something like 40” and am compelled to tell you that, for better or worse, there are still Horus Heresy novels coming out and we’re at 65 now (but technically the 64th was the end and The Scouring is a sequel series I haven’t read)

I didn’t even notice the tsp, I just looked at the info for 60g of butter to compare to 60g of chili sauce

That’s actually about on par with butter, so it’s not that insane

The plug in systems aren’t meant to provide power on their own, they’re meant to supplement grid power and reduce energy costs for the purchaser. They don’t provide electricity unless some is already detected on the line, for the exact reason you ask

Locally? Costco chicken is $6, raw chicken of around the same size is $11

The thing I’ve seen is that when they show dogs an image of their owner while the dog is in a PET scan, and show the dog pictures of other animals, the same part of the brain lights up, while showing the dog pictures of other dogs lights up a different but close area of the brain. Doing the same test on cats had one area lighting up for other animals, but the same part lighting up when shown their owner and when shown other cats

It’s both, and also shōnen, it’s got several recognized romanizations

I’m a fast reader but still watch the dub unless it’s garbage, because if I want to read an anime I’ll just pick up the manga

A Wikipedia article about floors reminds you of a weird lie you heard one time?

Worse, he pointed out on cam that the fan wasn’t spinning for some reason, then didn’t fix it or investigate and tested it as is

On the GPU side, yes and no, since the CPU and GPU are partitioned from each other and the temp of one doesn’t have any effect on the other, but we were getting the same frame rate with mine at ~75 and his 2060 running to around 84. I know someone else who had the case with a 1080 in it (180W vs the 2060’s 160W, or my 1650S’s 130W overclock) running at similar temps to mine while destroying both. It really comes down to using good exhaust fans, which he was not (and one of his just wasn’t spinning and he never stopped to find out why or fix it)

Edit for clarification: I’m saying the exhaust fans (a choice he made) are the limiting factor because his 2060 is running against the built in “something is wrong” limit where the GPU starts to downclock itself, because the same case with proper exhaust fans can handle a higher wattage card and allow OC room to a lower wattage card

You know that feeling where someone seems to know what they’re doing in an area you don’t know a lot about, so you trust what they say, and then they cover an area you do know a lot about and you realize they never knew what they were doing, they just knew more than you and how to make it look good?

I had that disconnect in 2019 when LTT, primarily Linus himself, did a Velkase Velka 3 video and did so much wrong that his gaming results were worse than my personal build, which is an accomplishment because we used the same CPU (R7 3700X), he had a 2060 and I was using a 1650 Super, and my system was running quieter and 10°C cooler on both CPU and GPU temps. I heard about the rest later, but looking at when that video was posted, I stopped trusting that Linus/LTT did any research at all in October 2019, because when you buy a bad CPU cooler, bad PSU, bad exhaust fans that you can’t even set properly, and test the system at default settings, it’s very clear you didn’t even try.

Linus messing up building the case because he didn’t read the instructions? Entirely justifiable, makes for very funny camera things, there’s the entertainment part of your infotainment. It’s a wacky case made explicitly for an extreme niche of an extreme niche of a (fairly) niche hobby, and Linus is funny when he’s winging it on the aesthetics part. Concluding that something is too hot and too loud for use unless your parents are divorced and you need to take your pc to the other house every week, when you caused it to be hot and loud by putting 0 effort into something because you didn’t just like, ask someone who knows what they’re doing? Wild

Personally, it’s the repeated instances of his company using things wrong, saying the thing is bad because it doesn’t work, and then doubling down if it’s pointed out that it only didn’t work because they fucked it up

And that Neo finally understood who he was and what his place was after taking the red pill, with estradiol being a red pill at the time
