Kinky And stinky.

I’m typing this on my lemmy “server” PC, an 8500 i5 running Linux Mint (and lemmy.mindoki.com yay !)

I keep my 2600X Windows machine but I more and more rarely feel the need to go back to it. Photoshop something quickly or scan or print something, got a lot of stuff on the drives, … not very much more! Guess I’ll have to deal with some specific stuff if I want to fire up my 3D printer, but once the change done, it’s done forever I feel, and not like every windows update you have to re-do/learn something again…

Ah, you wanted some sort of comment? Sorry, I was just ranting :-D

Hey Gabe, good luck!

Yeah GG!

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

That seems quite top of the line even today.

For battery life, the screen, the screen, the GPU (seems you use an IGP), the size of the screen, and the CPU are the main culprits.

64GB RAM will use some battery do you really need that much?

Hopefully your 1TB is an SSD otherwise an SSD is a nice upgrade.

There are also fat fat powerbanks for power users far away from a 110/220volt line!

I Am curious, most often power hungry laptops are gaming ones… What do you do with yours?

Got a 3b a loong time ago and I love it, I use it as a jukebox and a tinker station.

Would love to get another one but man are they crazily expensive now. Tried the banana and orange pis and the are like okay but yep, they are different and doesn’t seem to have the same community at all.

Chip shortage please go away!

Edit: I buy old dell optiplexes for like 40€ instead but they do take up quite the space…

Or those 100 CDs for cheap of which you could literally peel off the data(or whatever you peeled off :-)

Got a whole bunch from my SOs father, after like 7 tries I told him, he’s answer yes “I never got them working”.

Got like 10 2GB SD cards he gave me too, but I was prepared and they all were like non functional.

A gigabyte was a whole lot of data back in the day.

The Lemmy of WoW.

Or adaptive jpegs, where did they go?

I mean the second last rez is probably less than a third of the last one…

Krrrrrtztztzdztzdzdztz

I only play old low CPU/GPU demanding games :-)

Do you thing 3dstudio would work in a VM?

Matrix multiplications could be at least somehow multi threaded and few fields has been more optimized than displaying 3D. Do you mean simulations maybe?

I would have thought they were done mostly on the GPU nowadays?

As we all did with winxp, hangout and even facebook, and yeah a whole slew of stuff that did seem nice at one moment.

The next moment it wasn’t there any more in the way we liked it!

FOSS on the other hand is here to stay.

I have made a decentralized storage protocol, and an implementation for it, anyone interested in checking it out?

I’m terrible at promoting things, but it’s FOSS and encrypted and quite takedown safe.

You can publish a website with it for example (update it as you like), or build a chat app onto it (I have an example), people with the “link” file can access it, nobody else can.

Hopefully a first step in sharing information freely.

And you can set up a folder where you just paste torrents and it takes care of downloading your favourite OS or other interesting file.

Windows chance , and . depending on the language settings, so yeah so so simple and helpful :-/

And usability, windows gets more and more complicated IMO, and not in the “fun” way Linux can be completed.

Anyone knows what maintainers should do to patch the vulnerability?
