Hard to say what the used market is like, but the cheapest cards that would be broadly similar in performance would probably be the Arc A580, RX 5700 or RX 6600. This page has some rankings that are reasonable for comparison: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388-2.html
But…surely there’s a way to just stick with the latest supported driver, right? Or is Arch truly an “upgrade or die” distro?
Do not want an AI browser. I’m more likely to switch to a text-only CLI browser.
Orion is a fine choice for Mac or iPad. Basically Safari with Firefox/Chrome extension support, more customizability, and a few other niceties.
Edit: not open source, FYI.
My cynical ass is having trouble finding a the dark side of this.

Can’t bring myself to read this whole thing, but it seems clear to me that he can’t see the forest through the trees. By and large, the hate has nothing to do woth biases on what McCartney is “supposed” to be, or intellectual musings on synths.
It’s just fucking annoying.

The warm blood going into the feet transfers its heat to the cold blood going back. That means less heat going into the feet where it would otherwise be lost to the environment.
Humans minimize heat loss by simply restricting blood flow to the extremities. It’s uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable (or dangerous) as a cold core.
The last time I did any html/css work was about 15 years ago. Now I’m curious what’s changed.
Spotify has a lossless quality option in their apps.
The link says “The quality is the original OGG Vorbis at 160kbit/s”, so I guess that’s what Spotify uses for the “high” desktop/mobile setting described at https://support.spotify.com/us/article/audio-quality/

Share pictures of yourself, or your children, only with actual friends and not for the whole world to find
Good advice but let’s be real: in practice, this means having no social media profile, and even that is a half-measure.
Even if I carefully curate my friends list (most people don’t), and share my photos with only my inner circle (most people won’t), I have no control over what my friends do. If my cousin posts a photo he took at Thanksgiving, it’s probably going to be visible to all his friends, and even friends-of-friends. That’s thousands of people I’ve never met and there’s not much I can do about it.
There are pictures of me on Facebook, and I do not use Facebook. The social cost of getting on everyone’s ass about taking/posting pictures with me is too high even for a grumpy old fart like me. At least I’m not tagged (since I don’t have a profile), so it’s not neatly pre-sorted for potential attackers. But that’s at best security through obscurity, and it isn’t even very obscure. Anyone targeting me specifically would have no trouble finding pictures of me, and none of that is realistically within my control.
It’s more like “beater bike security”. Any bike lock can be thwarted by a dedicated thief, so the best strategy is simply to be a less attractive target than the other bikes around.
This is a systemic problem. It goes beyond individual choices and even beyond social media policies.
In all seriousness, this is very interesting, if only because the methods are easy to control and reproduce.
That said, I’d really like to see comparisons against a more typical warmup routine. I’m not sure the tendon vibration is doing anything more than simulating a warmup. Even that on its own is interesting, just because it opens the door for more targeted experimentation.
Yeah, I meant for AI stuff specifically. Their main products are…well I wouldn’t say “good” but they successfully choked out all competition in the 90s so…
Microsoft has nothing worth using. Microsoft hasn’t made anything that’s even worth talking about. Anyone with an OpenAI key and an afternoon to kill could make something every bit as good as what Microsoft has done. They put the absolute bare minimum of effort into everything they’ve done with AI.
The only advantage they have is customer lock-in. Historically, that’s usually enough for them. I hope it’s not this time.
Eventually Microsoft will probably buy a company with people who know what the fuck they’re doing. I think that’s their only way forward because it looks like the brain drain has finally caught up with them.
Binary Eye
It’s a QR/barcode/etc. reader. Very simple, and after trying like a dozen different QR readers I’ve found it to be the most reliable.
I know that a lot of brands’ built-in camera apps can read QR codes nowadays, but I find a dedicated app faster than the all-purpose camera apps I’ve used, and if you use open-source camera apps like AOSP’s or OpenCamera, then you won’t have that feature built in anyway.
The problem is that they are naively inverting the colors, which doesn’t work for photos. Lazy, yeah.
In principle I think it makes sense (as much sense as the feature in general, anyway). Personally I do not understand the push in iOS and Android to make all icons look the same, but if that’s what you want, then excluding shortcuts would be an eyesore, right?
UN-confirmed
In case anyone misread that, they mean the United Nations (UN) confirmed it.
Yes, it’s a genocide. Genocide is bad. It’s not that fucking complicated.
Is that picture real? It looks like it should be a KenM post, talking about the very normal-looking restaurant shack instead of the prominent pile of un-binned garbage.
There is certainly a very big amount of fuckery going on right now with nvidia drivers.
“Right now” meaning every year for the past decade or two.
It’s always something with Nvidia drivers. Performance+stability is more the exception than the rule.
That said, AMD drivers have a bad rep too. Personally I’ve had zero issues since I switched to AMD but experiences seen to vary a lot from what I’ve read.
Before that, I don’t think I ever got through a full year without at least one weekend lost to troubleshooting Nvidia bullshit. CUDA is a pain in the ass even on Windows.
SNW Pike is not a man’s man or a lady’s man. He’s just a human’s human.
