I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

It’s really uplifting when you put it that way, yes

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?

Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

I wait and let everyone figure out what the least broken Linux distro is.

Debian is stable. Stable is good, for an operating system; because I actually want to use my computer.

Not play with the operating system for 4-6 hours per day.

I mean can you imagine sweating into the same clothes you then need to wear to the Spartan assembly?

“I told you so”?

Hell yeah, I love scientists 😎

You’re right 👍

I guess this makes me an engineer using FP4 and not FP64

Mode=50; RefreshRate= 50 Hz
Mode=51; RefreshRate= 59.9999999 Hz
Mode=52; RefreshRate= 60.0 Hz

DefaultMode=51
FallbackMode=50

Thanks Xorg.conf

F = M×A

So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.

Also known as a balancing scale.

Magrail works too.

The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.

What the fuck :O

That’s my CD-Key! Aaaaaa

Hello – living incarnation of the Internet here.

I’ve played pretty much every shooter and most multiplayer ones since 1994.

The main issue with extraction shooters is that they are hardcore PvP-focused with resources lost and resources gained on every match.

Given that players lose actual lifetime from dying to another player in an extraction shooter, this creates an impetus for many players to cheat, given the asymmetrical distribution of skill in online shooters (it is statistically supposed be a perfect bell curve with everyone being average).

Without robust anti-cheat (e.g: Invasive kernel-level AC like Valorant/FaceIT and borderline malware) every and any extraction shooter becomes a cheater-ridden hellhole, where all of the resources of every match or map are funneled into the hands of a few players.

Players burned on prior titles know this ahead of time and throw their hands up in the air and say: “Great, another shitty extraction shooter”.

See: Tarkov et al.

That’s what makes philosophy interesting.

I am on my seventh Ship of Thesus, my D: contains /DOSGAMES/ and has a “folder created date” of August 1996.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s the same ship because I can load up my original SAVEGAMES, they still work, and they can kiss my ass. My ship has gone through the swamp man paradox and emerged the same on the other side. :>

Imagine you’re an astronaut for a national space agency on an exploration mission.

You are charting a usual star system named after an astronomer, Kepler.

Everything is normal but you detect trace gases of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Methane and Carbon Dioxide coming from the third planet orbitting the star.

News breaks about potentially organic compounds detected on an exoplanet and your space agency gives you authorization to approach and orbit for closer study.

When you get closer, you find an alarming sight – more than half of the planet, Kepler-3, has golden lights dotting the dark half of the planet.

Initially, it’s dismissed as natural atmospheric disturbances, but a few insightful individuals point out that they can see what look like geometric shapes, organized behavior of some kind.

It’s at this point, the close range scans indicate not just some “organic gases” but trillions of organisms , all of them alien, and worst of all, possessing a chirality opposite to your own.

Your immune system and their pathogens, and your pathogens, are wholly incompatible. You touch anything, you get sick and die, and they get sick and die.

No amount of medicine cures opposite handed chirals. So you do the smart thing, and turn around and leave.

Then, a few years later, an organism on their planet says:

“Lame. Bad event happened and not even any aliens”, being completely oblivious to the biological apocalypse their planet has been spared from.

It is, yes
