Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.

I mean, I’d read the post you’re commenting on a bit more carefully before thinking DLSS is a good thing…

And it really isn’t as bad as all that. I suspect you’ve never tried Linux gaming.

In any event, Steam Machine is only one device. Steam Deck is already quite successful, so it stands to reason that the next gen one will be as well. (And less relevant, but Steam Frame is also looking like it could be a knockout hit for VR)

I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol

This is the best response on here.

…and holy fuck, what a great game.

Given how polarized parts of the world currently are about some specific issues, I would not at all be surprised if this became a real thing.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

It could change relatively quickly though. Consider that Valve’s devices are all ultimately AMD devices. If Valve’s bet pays off, then those numbers should change (to what extent, I don’t know).

The Linux gaming community in general (which small as it is, is growing) is definitely shifting AMD. On the nvidia side are a bunch of driver woes and poor support. Meanwhile AMD’s drivers are literally baked into the kernel. No contest for ease.

This could all be wrong. Definitely. But the optimist in me sees a glimmer of hope depending on where the enthusiast community goes, how successful Valve is with their coming machines, etc.

Orrrrr… The whole PC enthusiast community dies because AI keeps driving prices into the sky and it never recovers in any meaningful way.

Incorrect. I get down with the sickness or with my bad self.

Maybe… just maybe… the ones at the top with all the money should not be the ones with the least knowledge and the worst skillsets.

If there are absolutely no errors in event log before the restart, PSU really is a top contender. The system will have had no warnings of any kind. If the PSU stops delivering adequate power, it’s likely to restart, and this is at a low level (i.e. the motherboard restarts the system).

It’s difficult to diagnose too. For mine, I was able to get more-or-less consistent restarts by requiring more PSU current by putting the system under heavier load. Once I saw the restarts occur as fans / drives / GPU were spooling up, I swapped my PSU. That was the issue.

The good news is that (well-made) PSUs usually fail in a way that won’t damage components. And yes, even good PSUs can fail, especially if they’re being used above their rating. And even the best PSUs don’t last forever – best practice to change them out every few years, in any event.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don’t have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it’ll make a difference, but at least you’ll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

iyes :wq

Yeah, fair.

Agreed. Not sure why one should trust this source.

The IRS has some relatively detailed specifications about their use of AI on their website. I haven’t looked carefully enough to make a judgment, but given the internet and clickbait, I wouldn’t be surprised if the original link is embellishing some specifics.

As other commenters have said, a key factor hasn’t hit yet: AI is artificially cheap because the whole thing is running on a bunch of investor money in a giant loop.

Once some IPOs go through, these companies will be required (by law) to produce a return to their investors. Given the actual costs of the AI chain, that will be extremely, extremely difficult to do, if it is possible at all.

At the very least, expect some mergers / acquisitions as companies try and consolidate to fix the shortfall by reducing competition. Though specifics are hard to pin down, given the complexity of the production chain and the associated energy costs, this likely won’t be enough.

The market will self-correct when it’s cheaper to do things the old way. Obviously, FOSS projects should fall off the AI wagon pretty quickly, since they’re not revenue generating anyway (at least not directly).

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.

That’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be better since it’s 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it’s mostly on par is absolute gravy.

You can change your name to whatever you want. Imagine if your last name were Epstein, or Trump. No one would question your motivation.

This is a bit of an oversimplification.

If in the US, you can generally change your name at whim, usually after a petition and fee. But it depends on your state. Some states require a hearing to do a name change. Some require a publication, and some will only allow the change after a waiting period.

All states will generally deny name change requests which are deemed to be fraudulent (details of that depend on state), to avoid debt, or to be harmful/hateful to others. Sometimes the definitions of these terms is not terribly clear, in which case the state can simply deny it with vague reasoning.

Edit: and apologies if this isn’t in the US. I’m not familiar with other systems.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.
