You are right! I was fooled by my server already having git installed and this requirement not being mentioned anywhere. I guess that explains why it uses SSH rather than SCP/SFTP.

I feel like you made it sound a bit backwards :)

There’s nothing to install on a “git server”, git doesn’t have a server component. You can point your git client to a remote place where it can store its files using SSH. But you don’t install anything on the server for this.

Which is why self hosting a git remote is super easy. All you need is a server with ssh and a little bit of storage.

If you just want to sync code between different computers and have a backup, that’s all you need.

4K is an outrageously high resolution.

If I was conspiratorial I would say that 4K was normalized as the next step above 1440p in order to create a demand for many generations of new graphics cards. Because it was introduced long before there was hardware able to use it without serious compromises. (I don’t actually think it’s a conspiracy though.)

For comparison, 1440p has 78% more pixels than 1080p. That’s quite a jump in pixel density and required performance.

4K has 125% more pixels than 1440p (300% more than 1080p). The step up is massive, and the additional performance required is as well.

Now there is a resolution that we are missing in between them. 3200x1800 is the natural next step above 1440p*. At 56% more pixels it would be a nice improvement, without an outrageous jump in performance. But it doesn’t exist outside of a few laptops for some reason.

*All these resolutions are multiples of 640x360. 720p is 2x, 1080p is 3x, 1440p is 4x, and 4K is 6x. 1800p is the missing 5x.

Repeating what they heard is very different from automatically processing the chat to harvest personal information about the participants.

Just because some data is publicly available doesn’t mean all processing of that data is legal and moral.

You’re both getting side-tracked by this discussion of recording. The recording is likely legal in most places.

It’s the processing of that unstructured data to extract and store personal information that is problematic. At that point you go from simply recording a conversation of which you are a part, to processing and storing people’s personal data without their knowledge, consent, or expectation.

Definitely, but it’s impossible to do for everyone using an adapter.

Overcurrent protection on each pin should definitely be mandated by the standard.

But it’s important to keep in mind that Nvidia has 90% market share and can do whatever they want. If PCI standardized something Nvidia didn’t agree with, then there simply would not be any implementations of the standard, and Nvidia cards would use a non-standard connector. It’s that simple.

It was Nvidia that designed the original connector and forced it upon the world. PCI has been trying to make it less bad, but it was standardized after it had already been created, not the other way around.

Yeah, I realize now that I’d have to do that anyway, as PTM pads are not available in those thicknesses (if the material even works well at those thicknesses).

What I should do is get some thermal putty to replace the pads, so I don’t have to bother with getting and cutting the right size of pads.

I also found a PTM pad from Cooler Master on the market called Cryonamics. But it seems like a very new product. I can find no one even as much as mentioning it online. It’s half the price of the Thermal Grizzly so I’m tempted to try it.

Honestly must have been a manufacturing error. Which is no excuse, QC should have caught it.

You’d think that high prices would mean the ability to have higher quality manufacturing without affecting the margin much. But I think much of that money is going to TSMC, Nvidia and AMD, with third-party manufacturers getting squeezed as well. But idk.

Really interested in trying PTM on my graphics card, but it’s still too expensive. You need several sheets to cool all the components and Thermal Grizzly is the only brand I can get a hold of.

It’s cool (hehe) that it’s even available at regular computer retailers though.
