Well, that makes me a traitor then because orange megalomaniac said so.

Donald dumbass and the greedy billionaires wants us to use AI.

Ok then.

Since the Corsair fans have a max speed of 2100 RPM, while both the Phanteks and Arctic have a max speed of 3000 RPM. (assuming they actually will reach those speeds) I wasn't sure if there would be any benefit. In that case I'll leave them be.

Here's a better picture of the setup. I do have the ...

There are times when I really push this CPU hard, so upgrading to the Arctic P12 Pro or Phanteks T30 fans might be a better option than using the Corsair fans that came with the AIO cooler.

I saw this while driving home. Kids on these fast bikes are playing Russian roulette with their lives.

What ★■◆● is next! Rename New Mexico to New America?

Well, that just really sucks. I heard MSI power supplies have gone down in quality but never expected that from Corsair.

TigerRaptor

Tell me about it. After more consideration and the rising cost of computer parts. I'm going all in while the prices are a little better.

This is where I'm currently at.

Gigabyte X870 GAMING WIFI6 AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard

Good to know, thanks. I don't really keep up with the latest hardware, so by the time I need to build a new PC, I have to spend hours catching up on everything. I'm looking at the PowerColor Radeon RX XT cards and checking out how well AMD Eyefinity works on Linux.

Micro Center has good AMD bundles ...

A hundred dollar difference between the two, and the performance difference between both of them isn't that large. Is the extra $100 for the 9800 even worth it for long-term use?

Good old Trump. His mouth is writing a check his butt can't cash.

Attached a chart I found with OS stats from Proton. I don't know anything about CachyOS but it's the top Linux OS for gaming.

CachyOS is one of the few Linux distros that lives up to the hype. Compared to a distro like Kubuntu, the difference in performance and resource usage is noticeable ...

TigerRaptor

Since you asked nicely.

TigerRaptor

Still playing Unreal Tournament on and off.

I don't really game as much since most modern games generally...suck.

TigerRaptor

Sorry if i"m going off topic again.

Isaac are you running BTRFS or EXT4 for your file system in Endeavour?

EXT4

I'm curious to see what others are running sometime. I'm currently using BTRFS with Cachy. With it being Arch-based, there's still a small fear of an update breaking something ...

SURE! And you can be the camera man while I'm driving by you.

Trucks keep getting bigger, yet the beds keep getting shorter on so many models now.

My dashcam caught this while driving back home. Rear-wheel steering actually seems pretty useful, but where the driver turns is a risk on this road.

Isaac are you running BTRFS or EXT4 for your file system in Endeavour?

TigerRaptor

Awesome! I'm on something similar: Endeavour OS, which also uses aur, and I selected KDE as well.

I recently installed Genymotion via AUR, as the official site only provides packages for Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. That was a great help.

This will be the first time I'm daily driving a rolling ...

I just installed CachyOS with KDE Plasma for the first time today, and the first thing I noticed is how much quicker my computer is moving compared to Kubuntu.

Sooo...I'm just going to post this here.

This came as a surprise. MidnightBSD just became the first OS to add age verification by default.

A hard choice.

Come next year, this forum will be 30 years old. The DescentBB, Warpcore, and PooterMan are the last of the old Descent websites that come to mind.

I just tested Nvidia DLSS 5 (Deep Learning Super Slop) on Trump. It looks so realistic.

How many computers were sent to the landfill because of Microslop Winblows 11 system requirements? They talk about being carbon negative by 2030. In the meantime continue to pollute the earth more by discarding your old computer in the trash. Don't forget our AI data centers will impact the ...

Everyone using Windows is basically at a fork in the road dealing with Microsoft’s nonsense. Option one: use Windows 11 as it is and trust whatever Microsoft is doing, essentially becoming their little guinea pig. Option two: keep fighting back by downloading scripts to remove the AI bloat. Option ...

The new buzzword, "protect the kids," bull ★■◆●ing ★■◆●. No one in their right mind wants billionaires and the government to have this much control over us. If this continues, we’ll all be figuring out how to use the three seashells.

Has anyone here tried Windows 11 LTSC?

I thought Microslop was planning to scale back Copilot after all the backlash it received.

There are two phones I'm keeping an eye on: the new NexPhone and the upcoming models by Motorola running GrapheneOS.

Pretty sure everywhere knows about the age verification taking place in California starting January 1, 2027. There is no doubt Google, Apple, Canonical , and Microslop will comply with this law.

Frankly, Ubisoft is committing suicide if they force their subscription model on everyone. You just know that Microslop is headed that way too. Right now, it's an option, an option I will not take if forced on me. They've even gotten rid of their game forums and sent people over to Discord of all ...

Silly Neo, the devil was born from UNIX.

Ubisoft is in a really rough spot, to the point the company may fold soon.

TigerRaptor

This is alarming.

I haven't found any real purpose for using AI other than getting some humor out of it.
