I picked up a Pixel 5 and installed LineageOS but with the GAPPS installed to start with. As I remove individual services from my daily use I remove them from my Pixel. So far I have swapped Google Photos to Immich, Google Maps to Organic Maps. I am working on getting off Google Drive/Docs this week. The hardest will be Gmail. Thankfully I own my own domain so im looking at switching over to https://www.migadu.com/ for my email services.

https://f-droid.org/ has been my Google Play replacement for so long I totally forgot about it, get it installed and you will find lots of applications you can start using to replace corporate/techno kingdom owned closed apps.

Lol no we can get so much dumber!

Also because we dont have the construction experience of building FAB’s, and we have different building regulation and standards.

25% tariffs on steel also wont make it any cheaper.

Older printers often require more maintenance and old software. If people struggle to set the clock on their microwave how do you expect then to plug in and use an old printer with Windows XP drivers.

Deep State was always projection at best. Real Deep State is the oligarchy, and Musk now has his control.

I have a minisforum V3 and have been running KDE on it and its ok, I still cant get rotation working and yeah the lack of an onscreen keyboard is a real problem. But otherwise its more than usable.

Once is a fluke, twice is a concern, three is a trend.

Depends on the application. I run a nightly backup of a few VM’s because realistically they dont change much. I have containers on the other hand that run critical (to me) systems like my photo backup and they are backed up twice a day.

if its really important then talk to a lawyer.

I dont think this is misinformation, just a difference of opinion and interpretation of what is known. I also openly admit that I have a tint on this release because I am really hoping that AMD does it right with reasonable pricing and performance.

As for DLSS/FSR I prefer not to use either because where I actually want faster frames and benefit the added latancy is not worth it, and where I dont care about the extra frames I prefer higher quality details. I find both framegen tech to be a poor service to the end user and thats why I dislike Nvidia’s marketing of the 5070 as equivalent to a 4090 when turning on DLSS. I also dislike their texture compression as an excuse to keep vram artificially low to prevent people from using consumer GPUs for running LLMs.

I dont fanboy, I chase value. My house is a mix of AMD/Nvidia/Intel/ARM and I use the right architecture wherever I can.

If im guilty of anything its Hopeium but honestly all the leaks I have been following show suggest that the 9070 and 9070 XT will offer same or better performance vs 5070 class cards at prices far below street cost. Nvidia’s MSRPs are a lie and the market shows that. NO AIB can produce these cards for the prices Nvidia has them selling at without rebates on the back end. Thats why you saw a very small number of MSRP models and no plans to restock. Everything else out there on the market is over MSRP.

We know AMD has stock in back rooms and warehouses, we have the pictures and confirmation from rank and file staff at places like Microcenter. We also know that AMD’s Instinct MI series is not selling as well as Nvidia so they are not as incentivized to divert silicon to higher margin products.

So, yeah it might be another round of shitty nvidia prices and stock, but we wont see the same scalping for AMD, and the value offered by AMD will embarrass nvidia once you turn off DLSS. Why else would they lie and say the 5070 matches 4090 performance other than to try to sell as much as they can before the 9070 forces them to drop prices.

Unlike Nvidia they will not be artificially restricting production. It’s already in backrooms and shelves they’ve been bringing them over from manufacturers for months now. There will probably still be some scalping but it’s expected to be enough supply to actually meet demand.

We took a class field trip to a students parents facility where they made supplements. They showed us a computer connected to university databases of research papers. Up until that point we called BBS servers directly and would rush to download everything before sometime accidentally picked up the phone. This was the early 90s

The next year I got my first laptop and a 14.4baud us robotics pcmcia card.

No nvidia’s just greedy AF. The AMD card due out in March is expected to demolish the 5070 and nearly match the 5080 at $500.

Evan

often yes, they need to bring a number of candidates to the company that they are working for to get paid. So having your resume lets them stuff open jobs with “valid” candidates.

https://tvone.com/products/video-scalers/c2-2755?ic=1

https://www.analogway.com/products/quickvu-4k

So all three of these are AV Professional units, the Black Magic is a bit more live event/live venue focused. The TVOne is more conference room focused. The Analogway is kinda hybrid of the two but much more expensive.

Is this for home or professional applications?

at least I think we did, not sure tbh. We definitely talked about it.
