Yes, if you are willing to devote your whole display or add a second card. But I am using a horizontal case to avoid the whole cracking the PCIE slot problem of modern, heavy GPUs, and adding another GPU would interfere with my airflow.

I used to do some gaming on vmware player, like SimCity 4. That game in particular ran like trash on the earliest versions I tried it on (I forget which) and then over the next couple it got to be quite good actually. Now that game runs fine in Proton-GE, or at least as well as it runs on Windows — which ain't great TBH, it's crash-prone there too. I look forward to Linux 6.10 and NTSYNC.

There is one good reason to use VMware on Linux to run Windows, 3D graphics support. KVM/QEMU doesn't do this for Windows clients on Linux hosts. Supposedly there is something coming which might help with that, but until then...

Shoot the asshole who got triggered by that post and modded me down and we can drive out of here

Here in the US public service telephone helplines have gone down the toilet since the pandemic when all the people who normally came into the office were told to call instead because the offices were closed. They got used to calling, and now the phone lines are busy. The call center software is already distributed and voip-based so it doesn't matter whether they're in office or not, the phone system sucks either way.

Sounds about typical for intel since the P54c.

K6 was faster than a P2 when executing code optimized for it instead of pretending to to be an Intel chip, which admittedly was part of its job which it didn't do very well. Still, from K7 on there has seldom been any good reason to buy an Intel CPU.

They don't care, they're paid to improve stock values in the short term. They will jump out of the window of the corporation they set on fire and float gently to the ground using their golden parachute, and either retire or repeat.

I can use my brother laser MFC without any brother drivers at all if I use it through the network. Scanning and printing are both standards-based in that situation, and the only thing I lose is use of the quick scan buttons on the device. The problem isn't linux, and it isn't manufacturers who don't maintain support; The problem is manufacturers who don't support standard interfaces, and the users who buy their hardware. Samsung is competent at one thing only, making SSDs– and even some of those have been botches. Please stop giving them money.

Islam is a problem in that regard, but so is christian fundamentalism. And it is even more archaic by definition.

Microsoft recently changed Word's behavior so that when you open a document to which you do not have write access, it pops up a little message in a word bubble (like in a comic book) that says you can't edit it, and you have to acknowledge it before you can do anything else. This change occurred within the last year.

My employer retains knowledge in Word documents. When I open one of these documents I used to just hit ^F and search to find the part in the document that I wanted. Now I have to acknowledge the notice before I can do that.

Nobody wanted this "feature". Just put the bar across the top of the document like you do in Excel, Office developer assholes.

What's interesting about your post following his is that it's a somewhat common thing among hispanics to have two non-hyphenated last names... You can tell from someone's ID because there are two name fields. Middle names get put into the first name field, so if you see two names in the last name field, they're both last names.

It's interesting because of the nvidia parts, not because of the intel parts.

Solar panels repaid the energy investment in their construction in about seven years in the 1970s. If we had started installing them in all of the places where we use a lot of A/C alone back then we could have saved an immense amount of pollution from fossil fuel sources and also kickstarted their rapid development that much sooner.

Nuclear on the other hand has had massive subsidies in the forms of free insurance, pretending the mine tailings aren't polluting, and getting to stick the waste in pools and pretend it isn't just waiting to become a problem.

If you don't care about anything or anyone it's easy to assume that nobody else does, either. But the first thing to know about assuming everyone else is like you is that you're wrong.

Well, it did also bring cgroups... However, those can be manipulated with simple shell commands, so that could have been done by augmenting the init script libraries. So to me the question is what did systemd give us that we couldn't have had some better way.

"the only reason nuclear plants are unsafe is because the public is scared of nuclear power."

That is completely false. It's the other way around, in fact.

Nuclear plants are inherently unsafe. Walk away from them and they fail catastrophically.
