tbf it is a screenshot of a porn scene. i checked via reverse image search… for science and then i wanked either way. the penis touching is implied in the context of this meme. in the context of the scene it wasnt just “implied” “touching”.

so yeah, its literally porn and my conclusion is thats a pretty valid use of the nsfw tag. while i’m not a prude i can think of enough situations where i would be glad when i dont have some explaining to do. i first didnt pick up on it and also thought of a stock photo. but the pretty visible underwear of the happy pumpkin lady can be a dead giveaway that its porn.

Neat!

I didnt know RDNA2 would work with FSR4 too.

Theres a difference between ‘premium’ and ‘flagship’. The price alone is enough to call it premium (with some asterisks). But its just not flagship hardware. The SOC is more than enough for my needs. But performancewise its somewhere near a 3,5 year old flagship Snapdragon and is itself 2 years old. Also if you give a fuck about these specs because of gaming/emulation or misusing(loaded statement i know)it as a desktop substitute Mediatek SOCs still lag behind in support/compatibility to Qualcomm.

But then there are some unpremium telltales like that third backside macro camera with undisclosed megapixels. That instantly tells me that it probably sports a 2mp unuseable tiny sensor. Its only there to trick the consumer in believing that its more premium then it is. Its not an useful tele like on a Iphone Pro but the design suggest it.

They also dont specify what kind of USB connection they provide. So its most likely USB 2.0 with no displayout. Other things on their official spec sheet:
_Primary camera aperture | 2 Megapixel _ its just typo tbf but still, lmao.
Headphones jack | TYPE-C DAC digital headphone Just ‘no’ would be more honest but i just wouldnt mention it at all and everybody who cares gets it.

I’m all in with MudMans assertion that they should just own it instead of tiptoeing around the truth. As he said its a solid device with enough unique selling points. But sadly it feels(!) like they try to deceive me here and there with their messaging. Which is soooo unnecessary.

Edit: It kinda suggests to me(!) that it probably is a badge engineered phone of a chinese company which provides semi customizeable barebone devices. Just a guess by me(!). But that would be unpremium as fuck. And dont get at me how stupid that whole pReMiuM talk is. I’m fully aware of that. But thats the bullshit you need to deal with if you start using these terms. I didnt start it.

In real-world gaming, the card only managed to gain roughly 8-12% uplift over the stock SKU, showing the decoupling from the synthetic tests. It is very likely that the longer-term thermal stress from the prolonged gaming sessions is causing this lower performance increase, sustaining lower clocks compared to the relatively short-term load from synthetic benchmarks. The entire cause of this FPS increase is the enhanced power limit, which increases the non-XT 220 W board power to as much as 300 W, representing a roughly 36% power increase on its own. No additional cores/ROPs/TMUs are unlocked by flashing the XT BIOS. In fact, the entire process is very inefficient when comparing the power/performance of the stock non-XT SKU. However, if you are looking to extract the maximum performance from your GPU, this may be a viable option, provided you consider all the risks associated with running your GPU at its non-default settings. Sustained higher power settings can result in GPU degradation over time, and BIOS flashing is always a risky endeavor.

A lot to love about the phone tbh. 3,5mm jack, front facing stereo speakers, 120hz, alright cameras, 168g, smallish formfactor, sd card support. But 450€ for an entrylevel chipset with 8/128 and only acceptable support timeline is just rough. I’m aware that inflation is a thing, chip manufacturing got more expensive, us tariffs somehow affect the rest of the world and longer software support needs to be paid somehow. But that shitty chipset will perform worse than my phone i got 4 years ago for like 320€. Meh.

Since i saw that gameplay footage which was released like somewhere in the last 5 years its all i can think about when Sq42 is in the news again. Until that point i just hoped that maybe somehow someday an unpolished but interesting game will come out. But that footage looked so unfun and ass after ~10 years of development i lost all hope.

Obviously these are honeypots.

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i’m fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i’m not interested either way.

Ich bin noch nicht so weit. Was aber inzwischen wirklich gut funktioniert ist Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe zu finden. Ich hab in den letzten 15 Jahren mehrfach den dauerhaften Wechsel zu Linux gesucht. Aber früher oder später hat es irgendwas zerschossen. Selbst bei Allerweltsdistros wie Ubuntu auf einem Thinkpad. Die Dokumentation und die Community waren oft in den Fällen dann für mich leider wenig hilfreich. Womit ich dann doch immer wieder bei Windows gelandet bin weil ich da problemlos Problemlösungen finden konnte.

Der große Unterschied ist glaub ich, dass man bei Windows auch manchmal auf 15 Jahre alte Forenbeiträge stoßen kann die einem den Arsch retten. Unter Linux sind so alte Beiträge zumindestens als Neuling eher tunlichst zu vermeiden.

Aber ja, das war alles einmal. Archwiki, distroeigene Foren, distroeigene Wikis, Discords(mag ich als Plattform garnichmal so, aber die Leute sind einfach meistens schwer in Ordnung. Die Erfahrung hab ich in Matrix und ähnlich nerdigen Kanälen nicht teilen können). Bei Information abseits davon irgendwie drauf achten, dass es halbwegs aktuell ist. Läuft inzwischen. Musste schon länger nichtmehr um Hilfe bitten sondern konnte die benötigten Informationen selbst suchmaschinen.

Naja und Videospiele funzen inzwischen doch auch einfach sehr gut. Das war vor 5 Jahren auch noch anders. Dazu hat das Frickeln unter Windows für meine Belange wirklich schmerzhaft stark zugenommen. Der Leidensdruck wurde da echt zu groß für mich. Da frickel ich in der Zeit lieber in Linux rum. Aber das letzte Jahr war was Frickeln betrifft recht unspektakulär. Vorallem im Hinblick, dass mir 25 Jahre Wissensvorsprung wie bei Windows fehlen.

You can install linux via bullets now? how cool is that?

Es hat geschmerzt beim verfassen und jetzt beim nochmaligen lesen auch.

Aber von ZwischenspeichyBS bin ich doch sehr angetan. Da zieh ich doch echt meinen Hut vor Skwiwwe, Skriwwe, Schkwirr… Eichhörnchen.

Mir hats die Schreibtischobenumgebung von ZwischenspeichyBS nach einem Aufdatum vor zwei Wochen komplett zerlegt. Ich hatte zum Glück dank Schnapper ein Rückenauf. Da fällt mir ein ich könnte es jetzt mal wieder probieren.

Aw man, i saw 32gb DDR4 for 50€ a few months ago. Now its at 90€.

Good thing is that i just dont need more ram right now.

As a longtime and somewhat casual but dedicated viewer i wasnt even aware of that fact.

But i still think getting onsite acccess to devs comes with compromises. Which still is legit. But i(!) still feel it comes with some constraints. Otherwise we would see nothing tbh IMHO.

Edit: Just to be sure: I still have mostly nothing but praise left for noclip.

My biggest gripe with noclip is that their documentaries feel just a tad too corporate. Like i’m(!) personally(!) convinced some money was exchanged between the dev/publisher to make these docs happen. (allegedly, no proof, vibes)

BUT(!!) idk how else you would get that close access to the stories they like to tell. Also they’re really fucking good at telling and surfacing stories in these tight constraints tbh. If you’re not a particular fan of a topic they cover it can feel sometimes a bit ‘shilly’. But if you are in some capacity fan they always give you some really cool insights into the development of ‘your’ game. Danny O’Dwyer is a fucking magician in that regard. I never feel cheated besides the thoughts in my first sentences in my post.

Thats the thing with Ubisoft. They dont make offensively bad games. They’re mostly just bland. What sells them (for me) are pretty unique settings and cool broader concepts. Thats probably that french je ne sais quoi which pulls in (my) attention. But everything else just falls apart if you’re a bit more into games. You know, i dont want to use the ‘G’ word. I dont want to make the case for the distinction between casuals and hArDcoRe - there it is - gAmeRS.
But Ubisoft games just still feel soooo formulaic. Even when they kinda try to remedy that fact. Yeah, they try to clutter the map with less interest points. Yeah, they stopped making you climb towers to populate said maps with interest points. But it still feels like made by committee. That corporate smoothing stone is just there. I’ve seen and resent this shit too many times because i buy more games than just the most current yearly COD/FIFA/AssCreed iteration.

Atleast gameplaywise i could handle it. But my biggest gripe personally is just the utterly shit writing in Ubisoft games. Its just soooo bad IMHO. They cant tell a compelling story. It always feels like an afterthought to the gameplay which already isnt landing for me.

Like yeah, SW Outlaws is an above average and alright AAA title. But i just cant anymore after 15 years of the same shit with the same patterns. At some point it had to break the camels back.

Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?

Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less ‘amazing’. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

Also the ‘interesting feature’ of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They’re spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.

meh

Uuh, could have been /boot/efi ? I dont know anymore. It was a few weeks ago and in an adhd induced rush to fix that problem now and now was until 3am.

I was dualbooting of two seperate nvme drives for each os. Worked pretty well for almost a year until i distro hopped. But for some reason my windows boot partition was located on my linux drive which i purged entirely while installing the new OS. Because why would be there any windows component on my linux drive, right?

Recreating the windows boot partition on the correct drive was more complicated than anything i ever encountered on linux so far. Took like 5 hours and funnily enough was only doable via a terminal.

Also there isnt a reason left for me to put up with microsofts bullshit. A few weeks ago i got a racing game with VR and wheel support running in an afternoon. The title is even abandonware so i had to grab some repack with a windows only installer.
