The CPU may not use too much power, but the chipset and all the supporting circuitry will. Supporting 4/8channel memory aint free. And RAM can use a ton of power too.

Not with TrueNAS, ZFS is a RAM hog. They suggest 8gb minimum, and you really don’t want the minimum AND adding more stuff on top. That said 16gb isn’t too painful.

If you want a NAS on the cheap my preference is just get any cheap “normal” PC, a case with a good amount of HDD bays. Move the drives into the PC, and you have all the expand ability you could dream of. You can find plenty of DDR4 machines for cheap now. Then as ram prices come down you can go up to 128gb of ram as long as your board has 4 slots.

Anything on craigslist/FB marketplace will work.

The steam deck is like a foot wide so the vertical grips are comfortable with that. The vertical grips of the controller that’s 5”(?) wide doesn’t seem as great.

Reviews are already out. At least reviewer reviews. The touchpads are slightly bigger.

They absolutely do. There’s nothing special about them vs normal distros. Hell rolling ones probably get new kernels more often and you can only live patch so much. Some updates just hard need a reboot to take effect.

And by 10:00.1 it will be sold out.

Does anyone know if it functions as a normal xinput controller on windows without using steam?

The Controller requires Steam or the Steam Link app. I tested it on GeForce Now via my iPhone and while it did connect over Bluetooth

That doesn’t bode well, but thats also on an iphone.

ECC DDR5 is usually pretty slow, and the “GPUs” are barely even G so they’re only really useful for computer. When that hardware gets retired it’s not gonna be useful for much of anything sadly.

The U.2 drives can be adapter to pcie at least. Can’t wait to scoop up a 20TB SSD for $200.

Shouldn’t the sims 4 be considered free to play? The base game is free, only the dlc is paid.

This is revenue. How many people are buying those games now? Older games are also usually heavily discounted so that’s even less money. And if the game was bought second hand then it’s entirely irrelevant.

Half the time it’s not even doing anything. Minimal CPU and disk usage. They want update to be a background thing, but sometimes I just want it to hurry up and be over with.

MS must be listening to me. I just did todays update and it had my CPUs E cores pegged at 100% usage for a few minutes installing updates.

The early days of windows 10 was rough. Every major update they just reinstalled the OS.

Buuut it meant that you could install the latest version, and at worst only have a few more updates before you’re fully updated. Vs like 7 you’d install SP1, then spend 3 hours installing subsequent updates and rebooting.

That said sometimes windows like purposefully throttles installing updates and I just want a button that says “install as fast as fucking possible”. I know it slows down on battery, but plugged in please just go as fast as you possibly can.

Is it though? Or is it more implying that these metal fans are horny?

I mean I listen to a fuck ton of music, so if they have the same tastes as me that’s definitely a plus. Actually wanting to go to a rave with me is kinda cool. And if they were hardcore into like modern country then that’s a gigantic minus for me.

So yes, I absolutely would.

The models that the commercial AIs use are not at all usable on consumer grade hardware. The RTX pro 6000 has 96 gigs of vram, your GPU probably had 8.

I’ve played with the models that run on 16 gigs and it’s alright. But I wouldn’t even try fully vibe coding. Need some help with something small? Sure. But I wouldn’t have it try to make a finished product.

What whack ass setup so you think OP has? Dual 5090s? They’re running it on an i7.

Ideally see if you can do a battery charge limit. Lithium batteries are happiest around 40-60% charge. If you can limit it that low then you keep your built in UPS, don’t risk the CPU running at a crawl, and the battery is happy. Even just the normal 80% that good laptops offer will be sufficient.

Be able to change the picture remotely. New flavor? No need to print out a new sticker, remove the old one, and add the new one.
