That might introduce more issues than help. If high speed particles impact your shielding, you might get a “particle shower” from the impact on your electronics. Radiation Hardening is part of the design of the chips - mainly creating less dense structures with bigger transistors, because they don’t flip as easily as the very small gates on a H200. That’s also the reason why most space based computers have the processing power of a system around 2005.

Wanted to say that - Random shit does happen, even to the most stable systems. There’s a cutoff in consumer hardware where selecting for more stability simply isn’t worth the cost such as radiation hardening. Best you can do is ECC Ram.

In addition to the other examples it’s also in the default installation mode for node.js - they use this to install nvm

Ya cant even blame someone non-technical falling for this if they haven’t been explicitly informed - it’s getting reinforced as completely normal by too many “reputable” projects.

And that private equity is pulling off the same shit that they did with the housing market - buy up the global silicon waver production so costs go up, rent it back to you while externalizing costs for the data centers and electricity. This goes hand in hand with NVidia and the likes extracting money from the Pentagon and getting tax breaks, externalizing costs further. This is not about building your PC anymore, we are just the first ones to feel it - memory is in fucking everything, and it’s a market that’s easily cornered if you have a lot of money to throw around because of limited production capability.

They had to drop support because the chromium steam uses to display the store and many other things dropped support for those OS, so their hand was forced to fix security holes. I suspect a similar situation here - as long as the browser supports it, they will keep support for win10 alive.

Oh i am already running Nobara as a daily driver for a year now, which works fine with Nvidia cards (i expected more issues, but was pleasantly surprised at my smooth experience stability- and bugwise). But the 8 GB VRAM of the card is pretty reliably the bottleneck now - i can monitor usage while playing, and VRAM usage forces me to reduce quality in a lot of games, or live with degraded performance.

I switched over to Linux a year ago, i chose nobara, which doesn’t have any obvious issues with my setup - they even made a small GUI tool for switching between open and closed, stable and beta Nvidia Drivers with a few clicks, which is a lot more comfortable than anything i experienced on windows. So i can attest that if it’s done right, Nvidia cards do their job just fine under linux.

The limiting factor is my VRAM, which simply isn’t enough for 1440p if i want games to look good too. reducing the Resolution is doesn’t look too good :-/

Thanks for reassuring me! The more i upgrade this system, the more i am scared to make a misstep - this pc has grown a lot over the last year, and the GPU switch is the last thing i can reasonably change to max this AM4 platform out, everything else will need a new Mainboard/CPU/Ram, and with the current DDR5 prices this is simply not a sound financial decision.

I didn’t know about that site, thanks! it even mentioned both the necessary bios update for the cpu and that one pcie 4x slot gets deactivated when the M.2 slot is used - i knew that, but i’m impressed they implemented that.

That makes me pretty optimistic about my chances, thank you!

and he looks a bit like surprised pikachu

Ok now AMD has done it, i’m confused.

Exactly. A specifically trained model could even run locally on the GPU, no need for always online, but at the cost of increased hardware requirements, especially VRAM.

Well i must say that it is probably one of the applications where it makes the most sense; Hallucinations don’t matter if it’s in a game, and it makes characters more lifelike and less NPC. I can get behind that!

It takes 5-10 reloads to get an page from IMDB lol

The market for a good middle class GPU at a normal price is wide open and Intel could make a lot of bank if they do it right. Alas, Intel has the tendency to fail to capitalize on such openings; they probably set the price for those cards way to high to be considered a contender.

Yeah there is one project for wayland which creates a virtual input device and hooks into the hotkey system in kde plasma, but it’s jank af and adding more than one macro bugs out.

It doesn’t seem too complicated tho, might be a good beginner project for updating my 25 year old coding skills.

I’m the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It’s not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn’t any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn’t selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?

I do the same, but i know i have a game hoarding problem, and i don’t want to lose my grandfathered in “i get all games in the bundle” - perk. And Tbh, i didn’t have a month yet where i didn’t get at least my moneys worth; if anything, the games i didn’t know about prevented me from spending more.

• Atomic Heart is a trippy experience, i liked what i saw.
• V Rising is cool, so is the System Shock Remake!
• Cryptmaster is a great game, i really enjoyed it!

This sounds nice - when i’m done with getting my life back in order i’m gonna start selfhosting for real, and this goes onto the “to implement”-pile! (i just realized that the pile is getting pretty large)
