I thought it was pretty stupid calling the third one “Xbox One” but then going from “Xbox One X/S” to “Xbox Series X/S” was much more idiotic. Nobody would ever think that’s a new generation of consoles. It sounds like a rebrand. I genuinely struggle to understand how a decision like this is made.

Ha maybe you could do it in wine? But no, you can get Linux drivers from the Nvidia website. They just didn’t work very well.

I think it’s a double negative so it’s ok

Yep, never had a single issue swapping GPU on windows. First time on Linux, I went to the Nvidia website to download drivers. Apparently that’s the worst thing you can do (?!) and it took me hours to undo the mess.

Don’t get me wrong I still use Linux daily but there’s no need to lie. It has some sharp edges and GPU drivers is one of them.

I used to be a window cleaner, and I’d get home and my hands were “dirty” with soap. Always felt weird trying to clean my hands. Can’t use soap that’ll make it worse!

But they’ll give me super powers

Zinedine Zidane?

One time my buddy had sex with a girl he was seeing on my sofa. I just thought meh, I’ll clean the cushions, no big deal. My wife was pissed about it being on the sofa so she posted it on Reddit.

The Reddit response was fucking insane. We had a threesome. I watched it. I orchestrated the entire thing. My buddy wasn’t even there and I was just cheating on my wife. Somebody posted detailed advice on how to hide secret cameras around the house to catch me next time I’m cheating.

These aren’t cherry-picked, they were 95% of the responses. Those people don’t want to give relationship advice. They want drama.

You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.

Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))

I went on a bit of a dive trying to find this out. Listening to Lemmy you’d believe a single text query burns 1,000 trees.

The “microwave for an hour” line comes from this article. It attributes it to Sasha Luccioni/Code Carbon, which monitored the power usage of a computer while it created a video with “CogVideoX” (not Sora).

So OP isn’t exactly right but unfortunately we don’t have much better to go off. I’m inclined to believe Sora would be much better than that. A surprising amount of news articles all eventually lead back to Sasha Luccioni.

Recently had an issue where I deployed something with Docker but it wasn’t working properly for a few people in the business. It turned out to be the people who installed Docker with Snap. The main reason to use Docker is so that it works the same across different OSs and setups, but Snap managed to come along and ruin that.

I’m still ok to have my stag do there, right?

I applied for them once. Went through multiple rounds of bullshit, to just be turned down without giving me a reason or any feedback. One of the rounds was answering a list of inane questions such as “what would your highschool friends say about you?”. Never again.

There’s a lesson I learnt from playing team games: If your teammate makes a bad call that you disagree with, you should still follow them 100%. Going all-in on a questionable decision is almost always better than second guessing each other.

I think it applies here, and it’s why right wingers and religions are so effective. They don’t care if their arguments are flawed or their leader is a rapist, they’re jumping into that fight every time.

The bothans line is from ROTJ so it’s about the second death star

Hi it’s still broken on my machine. I’ve tried turning it off and on again

I believe everybody should get a downvoted comment every now and then. Have a real opinion, people!

(I mean things like enjoying Nickelback or hating dogs. No bigotry)

I’m married and happy and we’ve played Stardew Valley together. Sometimes I leave the house and it’s possible my wife plays stardew while I’m not right next to her. Doesn’t mean I’m broken and lonely. Jesus fucking Christ.

How did he keep track of her heart progression? That’s the most impressive part to me. You’d have to be hovering round with the ring in your pocket for weeks

I like this analogy and it’s a good way to think about this sort of AI help, but I guess the problem arises when people don’t have the same awareness. If you don’t realise it’s more fun/satisfying, you might never take the training wheels off. I know it seems obvious to me or you but a lot wouldn’t see that correlation.

I’ve been playing co-op games recently and half my group want to revert the save anytime anything goes south. I always refuse (I host) and we’ve had some really fun times digging ourselves out of the hole. Even the save scummers agree they were the most fun playthroughs, but then they still want to save scum next time.
