  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

    Jump

  • You can easily download planet.osm, I think it's a couple of TB for the compressed file.

  • Nintendon't

    Jump

  • USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

    As for the cable length I wouldn't really know, probably it's possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn't change much because the current os always rather low, it's the voltage that increases.

  • A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?

  • When to upgrade hardware?

    Jump

  • Can't really advise you on what to do, but here's some conaiderations:

    • I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn't really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it's forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you'll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I'm guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it's gen3 or gen5.

    Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we'll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.

  • Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it

    Jump

  • Microsoft tried enforcing copilot on their developer, I can't find the link but there are some great issues in github where the developers tried arguing with the AI that goes a little like this:

    "copilot, can you fix the bug explained in this issue?" "Sure I can, here's a pull request to fis issue #6969" "This code doesn't fix the issue explained, you must do x and y to fix it..." "You are correct! Here's another pull request where I did X and Y to fix the issue!" "No, you didn't..." "You are right! Here's another pull request..."

    So on and so forth

  • Would you press it?

  • You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping

  • People who don't/can't sleep when they're "supposed to", why? What do you do during this time?

    Jump

  • That's pretty good you get disability for sleep dosorder. Not good that you can't sleep of course, it's good that your problem is getting a recognition.

  • FSF announces Librephone project

    Jump

  • Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

    Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

  • Project on implications of Piracy (need opinions articles and ideas)

    Jump

  • I think the most "pirated" software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broke the terms of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there's a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use to get rid of the nag). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn't care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.

  • How to distinguish between human-created content and AI-generated content?

    Jump

  • Your country is going to elections and a leaked video of one of the candidates happears on social media that shows them raping a child or whatever einous stuff.

    Would you like to know if that's a real video or a foreign country is trying to manipulate your elections to favour an emerging pseudo dictator that will sell your people to someone else? I would like to.

    We are not talking about ai memes or trolls, virtually everybody get news and is influenced by stuff found on the internet. Knowing what is real and what isn't is fundamental to your functioning as a person.

  • That's fair, but he just looks annoyed.

    Like "oh, that's why you called me for? All this fuss about it for nothing important?".

  • I think she likes me! 😀

  • I can hardly have empathy for a politician that is slowly but surely heading is his direction.

  • Why does he seem disappointed in the last panel? Did he expect something else?

  • Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?

    Jump

  • Maybe not perfect upon conception, but after a couple of decades from common adoption, the bicycle really didn't change much. Sure, you can use lighter and more advanced materials, you can add an electric motor to it (though I wouldn't classify it as a bycicle) but you can probably take a 100 years old bike and it would work just as good as a modern one.

  • I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time

  • They definitely didn't have neodinium magnets, as neodinium being a lantanide metal was discovered only recently (1700s or 1800s) and requires extremely advanced (for the time) metallurgy and chemistry to extract from minerals.

  • Russia Turns the Baltic Sea Into a Zone of Navigational Chaos. The Scale of GPS Interference From Military Sites Puts European Aviation Safety at Risk

    Jump

  • "No, we can't do anything to Russia, even if they are attacking our infrastructure and provoking a military response, that could be seen as an escalation!"

    Meanwhile, Russia escalating infrastructure attacks and military provocations.

  • What is your reason for not flipping to Linux?

    Jump

  • Engineering CADs and old peripherals with proprietary drivers for me. This cannot be always solved with a VM because either they are graphically intensive or hardware passthrough just doesn't work for them.

    There's one specific case of Texas Instruments' software suite for microcontrollers: they have all the tools, the IDE and SDKs available for windows/mac/linux, EXCEPT one stupid old sdk I needed that was ONLY available on Windows for some reason, so I had to use it just for that stupid piece of drivers.

    For games I either do games that work on proton, or for extreme cased I have a VM with second GPU in passthrough, and that works quite qell, but cannot do on a work laptop.

  • Man, nobody can put "a target" on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.

    You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.
