Very true, just thinking about a terminal platform here, and just fully sending it off, but regular vermeer is no slouch either, and will serve well for many years to come (along with a shiny new gpu)

I haven’t played GTA 5 or online in a good few years now, but I’m curious, does this affect popular mods like fivem in any way?

E: TIL fivem was acquired by rockstar 🤡

You could chuck a 57 or 5800X3D up in there for a substantial boost if your board vendor offers BIOS support.

Worth noting from the original article

Fedora is working around this in their latest packages by beginning to probe SimpleDRM immediately. Fedora / Red Hat though isn’t the only ones using Plymouth but is largely in use by all major Linux distributions of the past decade. But in recent years the AMDGPU driver has only continued to grow much larger in supporting newer GPUs and tacking on additional features and optimizations.

This outlines several issues, a key one is outbidding apple for wafer alloc on leading processes. They primarily sell such high margin products that I suppose they can go full send on huge dies with no sweat. Similarly, the 4090’s asking price was likely directly related to it’s production cost. A chunky boy with a huge l2$.

I like the way Mike Clark frames challenges in semi eng as a balancing act between area, power, freq and performance (IPC); like a chip that’s twice as fast but twice the size of its predecessor is not considered progress.

I wish ultra-efficient giga dies were more feasible but it’s kind of rough when TSMC has been unmatched for so long. I gather Intel’s diverting focus in 18A, and I hope that turns out well for them.

I’m not sure that arm as an ISA (or even RISC) is inherently more efficient than CISC today, particularly when we look at Qualcomm’s latest efforts in notebooks, more that Apple have extremely proficient designers and benefit from vertical integration.

Conversly, the apple silicon products ship huge, expensive dies fabbed on leading TSMC processes which sip power relative to contemporaries. You can have excellent power efficiency on a large die at a specific frequency range, moreso than a smaller die clocked more aggressively.

I think the prospect of enabling higher frame rates on more modest hardware is a noble goal but requiring TAA to get there is nauseating.

my charger is fine, but could you pet the cat for me? 🥺

neat!

Unrelated but is your thing mendicant bias?

Good to know, that’s not the one I had in mind, however.

For whatever reason I thought PMOS was based on Manjaro. Could be something as silly as associating one green logo with another.

As much as I want that to be the case, I don’t think full mobile gnu+Linux is really ready to use daily?

I haven’t exactly been keeping up with things, mind you

Would it almost be equivalent to snap on Android?

I’ve heard very little about it. Is there some controversy around it?

I wonder if it’s detecting a magnet at the front edge from the closed lid of the notebook underneath, telling the system on top that the lid is closed?

valuable context - thank you

I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.

I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.

waiting to see it ported to the HTC hd2

do ski socks count?
