I find it insulting you’d suggest I’d consider any part what that ass has said as even remotely reasonable.

What I said is that if you say 2+2=5 to enough people, you’ll get some who will just go “ok yeah sounds right”. They’re still wrong. Two people being deluded together doesn’t make it any less delusional.

The thing about giving everyone a megaphone, is that even when some use them to shout insane bullshit, if enough people hear it, there is inevitably a percentage who will think “yea that makes sense”.

And now, we’ve got selective megaphones. Social media algoritms that curate our feeds for us so that people shouting insane bullshit have their content fed directly to people who believe insane bullshit. Separating the people who lie and their believers, from the people who call them out on it and bring actual logic into the discussion.

Algoritms discourage thinking because thinking takes effort, and effort tires you out. Tiring you out would eventualmy make you log off and take a break, but algos are trained to maximize screentime, so no thinking it is.

Did they bother to opt-in to battleye linux support yet?

Changing voltages and fan curves is super situational. And depends on how much you value noise over performance.

That said, I undervolted and underclocked the i7 cpu on my G501 gaming laptop back in the day.

This helped a ton, because the heatsink between the discrete GTX 660M and the CPU, shared a heatpipe. The CPU would only throttle at 90, while the GPU would throttle at something like 75. This meant that because it was basically always hotter, heat from the CPU would conduct via the heatpipe INTO THE GPU, causing it to always thermal throttle, and be unable to be cooled. Because even though it was maxing out and trying to cool down by throttling, the CPU would just keep going because for it the temps were fine. So it would keep pumping heat into the heatsinks and heatpipes, which would then keep the GPU hot, too.

Undervolting the CPU allowed it and the GPU to run at closer to same temps, raising FPS by way of allowing the GPU to actually run a full tilt, even though the CPU was then significantly slower.

And just about as potent as his constant jabber about “I’ll fire the nukes aaany second now”.

Hey now! You gotta at least set your timezone and keyboard layout, too.

What? What the hell do you even mean by “baseline”?

Again, what are you saying? You replied adversarially to someone who was making the point that society should be improved so as to not allow things like people starving to death, or becoming homeless. Are you agreeing with them or trying to shut them down?

Are you saying society barely doing anything to help people in such situations is fine, because you survived it? Because that is what it seems like, and my reply is in response to such an utterly insane take.

Society should prevent death and suffering as much as the available resources allow. Who the fuck cares where you draw the line for “good enough”?

If we can do better, then we should.

…

Did you literally just use “there are fates worse than death” as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to “losing” (death), as a way to argue that a society that allows this should be improved?

What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of “loss”?

What the fuck is point of “one-upmanship” around the baseline of suffering? And how is “people not dying” not a pretty good place to start when it comes to what society should try to achieve?

HDR? Pretty much yeah.

Two people with no game, still means there’s no game.

Zero plus zero is still zero.

I found qView even before I switched to linux. Windows gallery is such a piece of shit.

I was the one trying to talk the friend group out of pre-ordering for years. Oddly enough, I haven’t needed to do that in a while.

Might have something to do with how the last time that discussion happened, the game in question was Fallout 76.

I didn’t even have to say “told you so” for it to never come up again.

Nothing else ever really achieved what the pebble did. I just wanted a cheap second point of interaction with my phone.

After it went under the industry has doubled down on insane cost, pointless features, abysmal battery life.

I don’t get it. Pepple made all the right trade offs and the third party support was incredible.

I hope this works out.

I don’t remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to “open settings” essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

Also private equity.

I am.

How would a pedal that opens a door towards you work? Unless it’s like a handle for your foot?

Makes sense.
