it’s optional now but can be mandatory later? It literally takes a baby monkey’s brain to understand that.

Also this is literally in the PR:

Stores the user’s birth date for AGE VERIFICATION, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.

Good. I will avoid those websites.

I mean if you live within walking/public transport distance of stuff, you don’t need a car thus you don’t need a parking (or as americans call it — the driveway) or the garage in the house, thus you don’t need as big as of a house on the ground floor which can be used by a store, restaurant or cafe instead and people can live above it. It’s a win-win for residents, store owners below, environment, urban planning and communities.

They bred and we got fedora.

It is always like this. Make a very anti consumer decision that everyone hates, then tone it down so the half of those people will say “we won”. This is a loss.

sushhh… the shareholders’ imaginary line has to go up.

Repeat with me.

INSTALL LINUX!

DLSS 8: Your eyes have AI

(Wasn’t that a Microsoft patent?)

Yep

How does it sit right that a machine is making stuff that is fundamentally supposed to be human creativity and imagination. This is just going make every game look the same with more annoying imperfections that humans won’t make.

DLSS 6: You don’t even need to design your game. AI will generate it in real time.🤡

I like CachyOS but I don’t see it’s worth it to reinstall the OS for 3-5 extra fps on an rtx 4070 laptop with ryzen 9 8945h with 32 gigs of ddr5. It probably might make sense on much older and/or weaker hardware. I mean I can just switch to the cachyos kernel on current Arch install if I want but I am just too comfortable with my current setup.

If someone is dying in a war you have waged, then you are not the one making that sacrifice.

TBH I prefer the modern minimal UIs. It is easy to understand. Although I don’t mind having an option.

I selected the Nitro+ one and I was just looking at the reviews, and found that the connectors were melting. Is there no solution to this? Because the GPU seems pretty good but I might drop it because of so many melting cases.

Alright. It is a bit exp. But I think I will go with 9800X3D. A 100$ extra wont mean much for a 3k$ build. Thanks :)

I’d look at Thermalright

It is the same price over here. I watched a few YT comparisons and it seems like PA 120 cools the CPU slightly better so I will go with that one.

PSU Tier list from ZTT

Oh TIL.

Xpg Core Reactor II 850W

Sadly I couldn’t find this with any major seller in my country online. I might try offline later. But according to the list I changed the PSU to Corsair RM850X (2024). It is rated A+ and costs like just an extra 1k inr (around 10$) which I would consider a worthy upgrade from a B+.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

amd specific like sapphire

Will look into it.

msi mobos are painful to set up for linux

I did check on Linux Hardware Database for my chosen mobo, it seems to work according to the probes. So maybe could be an issue with your specific mode?

I think you were a bit generous with the PSU wattage

Haha yess. I was initially planning on 7900 XTX which was pushing the wattage around 550. So I thought maybe in future if I upgrade to something even beefier, I don’t want to buy another PSU that’s why I stuck to 850W.

If you play a lot of competitive (high-FPS) games, you could also consider spending a bit more on the CPU (e.g. 9800X3D) instead of the GPU

CS2 is the only competitive I play that too with friends on some weekend — so not really competitive. But I am mostly an open-world guy who likes to lay back on his chair and explore shit here and there.

Windows version of 7zip (through Wine) to extract the BIOS

Thanks for the heads up :)

I wish I had a cool aunt like Veronica.

If you think you’re wanking too much, go to a therapist, talk to a friend or parents or just try to find a partner. What the fuck a computer program is going to do to get you to stop wanking.
