Everyone is saying it

So efficient!

The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.

The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.

A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.

Most games run better on a fresh Windows install than on a fresh Linux install.

Not true.

they generally don’t work on Linux.

Also not true. Again, it’s clear you’ve never tried it.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.

I mean, I’d read the post you’re commenting on a bit more carefully before thinking DLSS is a good thing…

And it really isn’t as bad as all that. I suspect you’ve never tried Linux gaming.

In any event, Steam Machine is only one device. Steam Deck is already quite successful, so it stands to reason that the next gen one will be as well. (And less relevant, but Steam Frame is also looking like it could be a knockout hit for VR)

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

It could change relatively quickly though. Consider that Valve’s devices are all ultimately AMD devices. If Valve’s bet pays off, then those numbers should change (to what extent, I don’t know).

The Linux gaming community in general (which small as it is, is growing) is definitely shifting AMD. On the nvidia side are a bunch of driver woes and poor support. Meanwhile AMD’s drivers are literally baked into the kernel. No contest for ease.

This could all be wrong. Definitely. But the optimist in me sees a glimmer of hope depending on where the enthusiast community goes, how successful Valve is with their coming machines, etc.

Orrrrr… The whole PC enthusiast community dies because AI keeps driving prices into the sky and it never recovers in any meaningful way.

If there are absolutely no errors in event log before the restart, PSU really is a top contender. The system will have had no warnings of any kind. If the PSU stops delivering adequate power, it’s likely to restart, and this is at a low level (i.e. the motherboard restarts the system).

It’s difficult to diagnose too. For mine, I was able to get more-or-less consistent restarts by requiring more PSU current by putting the system under heavier load. Once I saw the restarts occur as fans / drives / GPU were spooling up, I swapped my PSU. That was the issue.

The good news is that (well-made) PSUs usually fail in a way that won’t damage components. And yes, even good PSUs can fail, especially if they’re being used above their rating. And even the best PSUs don’t last forever – best practice to change them out every few years, in any event.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don’t have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it’ll make a difference, but at least you’ll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

At this point I just stay away from PVP, PVE, MMORPG, or anything thay requires me to connect and play with others.

Part of it is the number of bad actors. Another part is I just like having non-toxiv gaming time. I miss when single-player experiences were the norm.

There are simply a lot fewer people on Lemmy. That’s to be expected.

I will say that the quality of conversation tends to be a bit higher on Lemmy. YMMV though.

I feel a lot less of the hive-mind effect on Lemmy versus Reddit. Not sure why that is.
