Tell me about it. I also paid about the same for a 1070 back in 2016 and it lasted me all the way until 2022, when I finally decided to be a sucker and pony up the $1600 for a brand new 4090 at launch. Which as insane as that is, I’m glad I did because now 4090s go for about $3K used!
If you didn’t buy a new GPU by mid 2023, you’re pretty much stuck with what you have for the foreseeable future, given how insane prices are now with no signs of slowing down.
Excellent; thanks for the heads up. I’ll avoid the drama and pirate any component that requires a licensing fee.
Yeah and I’m asking you to please don’t lol
I will when someone makes a GPU that can surpass a 4090. Not even Nvidia themselves can pull that off, so I’m not getting my hopes up.
I’m going to be stuck with this GPU for the next decade the way things are going…not that I’m complaining. It’s a beast of a card, especially for someone like me who could only ever afford bargain bin parts until one day I came into a windfall. (That was a fun 4 years.) I don’t have to worry about games being unoptimized because I can simply brute force them with pure GPU processing power. I was getting 90 FPS in Last of Us on launch. Even Cities Skylines 2 runs smoothly.
Mullvad is safe. They were raided and the authorities got nothing.
Calm down, Doja Cat.
Leave it in HDR next time. As someone who owns an HDR monitor and a phone with an HDR display, there is simply not enough content out there outside of movies and games.
IDK I was able to remap it just fine using Power Toys.
Which emulator fixes the wobbling and upscales the textures again? The games I’ve seen in that emulator look great, nearly as good as PS2 games.
I hope you’re right because Intel and AMD still can’t compete with high end Nvidia cards, and that’s how we ended up with a $5000 5090.
I mean it’s kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.
I noticed this too. People like me a lot more when I roast them with confidence, and then laugh in their face about it instead of apologizing or saying “I’m just kidding”. You can get away with saying a lot if you say it with a smile.
Of course this only works if the other person is smiling too. Be mean with a smile, but don’t drive the nail too deep and attack their insecurities. Gotta find that delicate balance. If you have autism it can be a struggle.
Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.
It’s literally the same thing
Are these people unaware that YouTube Shorts is a thing?
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this as a millennial. Back in the 80s, 90s, and up until around the mid 2000s, technology seemed to make major leaps and bounds into the future every two years. Things were constantly evolving; but ever since HD TV/gaming and Android/iOS hit the scene, it’s like tech stopped evolving and started iterating instead.
I mean I can’t even imagine what it was like being a kid as Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z; they’ve been playing Minecraft, Fortnite, and Rocket League for their entire childhoods! Meanwhile I saw the evolution from 8-bit to 16-bit to 3D to HD, to 4K HDR with Ray Tracing! Every 3-4 months I was playing the newest hot game! The only exception from my childhood was Counter-Strike, and even then, there’s been several CS titles released over the years.
Technology seems to have practically stopped evolving. It’s mind blowing when you think about it. I wonder when we’ll finally hit the limits of die shrinking and enter a technology dark age…?
My entire job depends on such an app, so this is a bit of a relief.
I don’t. It never returns relevant results. At least DDG/Bing tries to be accurate.
I’m sorry I don’t follow this company’s actions as closely as you do. I can’t even remember the last time I used Oracle-branded software. (Unless you count MySQL, which I’ve never had an issue with. It just works.)
Is Matrix a self-hosted alternative to Discord? I’ve been looking for one but the closest I can find is RocketChat, which is meant more for corporate environments. I’m going to be launching a radio station for Lemmy soon and I need a suitable solution for chat platform that I can integrate with my website (and eventually app).
