Alyx came out 4 years ago, and is recognized as one of the best VR titles of all time. It’s a full 15 hour game, so not a tech demo. I’d say that’s a hit.

At 80+Gb that means it’s a straight blu-ray rip without being recompressed at all, which is perfect if you have a nice home theater system. You definitely notice the difference then. But if you’re just watching on an average monitor with headphones or such, then you’re honestly better off finding a smaller version that someone properly compressed down a bit.

AI is much more taxing than gaming. Machine learning will peg a gpu at a flat 100% constant use, while gaming fluctuates up and down depending on what’s going on on screen. So being more power efficient while running a card at 100% 24/7 saves money on power costs, and corporations love saving money.

They’re not that different, really. CUDA processing cores are the most used in AI training, and those are the main processors used in both Nvidia’s consumer desktop cards and machine learning enterprise cards. As “AI” is on the rise, more and more of the supply of CUDA processors and VRAM chips will be diverted to enterprise solutions that will fetch a higher price from deals with corporations. Meaning there will be less materials available for the consumer-level GPU supply, which will drive prices up for normal consumers. NVIDIA has been banking on this for a long time; that’s why they don’t care about overpricing the consumer market and have been trying to push people towards cloud-based GeForce Now subscription models where you don’t even own the hardware and just basically rent the processing power to play games.

Also just to be anal, the 3090 and 4090 have 24Gb of vram, not 32Gb. And unlike gaming nowadays you can distribute the workload to multiple GPU’s in one system, or over a network of machines.

Yes, nearly 71% globally.

Apple is the biggest really only in North America.

Drop has kinda gone to shit anyways. Though I have gotten some good headphones off them. But I ordered a set of wood IEM’s back in January. Got and update like a month later that the supply chain got messed up, will ship in June. Current order status is “Reserved for shipment. Estimated ship date: July 10”. So like a week ago. And all the emails from them lately have been

“Check out these amazing keycaps!11!1!”

“Hey look, we got more keycaps!!!”

“Limited time only super-special keycaps!”

“Hey, you looking for some keycaps?!”

It’s not what it used to be, just like everything else on the internet.

Cpu is a ryzen 2600, it doesn’t have an iGPU.

MakeMKV (at least in windows) lets you rip a remuxed mkv without having to rip everything. So you can just select the titles, audio, and subtitle tracks you want without ripping all the other stuff. You don’t need to make a full backup and then pull all that out.

I’m in the same boat, I’ve been interested in the folding phone concept for years, but I’ve been waiting for them to get slimmer, have less of a crease, and have a better front screen for journal quick use. I was tempted to wait and buy the new Galaxy Fold 5 when it comes out. It’s supposed to have the new teardrop design hinge that immensely helps out with the crease. But then it looks like they still aren’t going to do anything with the front screen from the Fold 4, which I don’t like, so I just bought the Galaxy S23 Note (let’s face it, that’s what the Ultra is) instead. Hopefully by the time the Fold 7 comes out they’ll have made some changes.

Oh yeah, as soon as reddit fixes the accessibility on their app, all 3rd party ones that exceed their “free tier” API usage are gonna be nixed. And Redreader being called out as a white listed alternative means people will flock to it in the meantime, giving Reddit an easy out once they get their shit in order.

Can it be called c/GameOfThronesSeasons1-5.5?

Try out kbin, it’s geared for Lemmy and mastodon in one place.
