  • Same.

    I just upgraded from my RTX 3080 to get away from Nvidia, and essentially had to go with the RX 9070XT because the Intel options don’t reach all the way up there.

    On the flip side, my Emby media server runs a first generation Arc card, because again, wanting to avoid Nvidia at a reasonable price.

    The existing products are good but don’t cover enough of the market to get the power users to switch, and they are the ones that make recommendations to everyone else.

    Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

    It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.




  • The decision is entirely about anticipating demand, it’s about the uncertainty and craptastic approach the administration is taking with them. Making changes, sometimes multiple times daily, means companies can’t plan.

    Tariffs traditionally are planned and communicated, with months or even years long timeframes for companies to plan around. Tariffs being added, removed, exclusions and inclusions changing daily means no one can plan. So the only planning they can do is to just stop. The Trump administration doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing and will destroy the economy in the process while insisting they are doing a great job.

    Hyte is not reliant on the US market, many of their competitors however are US based and reliant on the US market for their sales. They can easily be put out of business by these tariffs in the short term, further putting US businesses behind competitors.





  • I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

    But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.


  • To be fair that’s because software on consoles is designed for specific hardware. With newer hardware the old games won’t just work, because they were complex for very specific hardware. So for BC you end up with emulation which requires a lot more processing power than the original hardware, and is not perfect.

    Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC. And as time went on they removed that hardware to save costs and BC went with it.

    PC gaming however, and by extension portables like the Steam Deck however are running software developed more generically for wider ranges of architecture to begin with. It means less hardware optimization, but it generally means compatibility out of the box as hardware improves since it wasn’t designed with extremely specific hardware anyway.
