The Venn diagram of puppies and wolves is just two concentric circles. If I worked with wolves I’d probably die because all wolves are puppies in my eyes

Not an answer but I’ve seen you posting a lot and I appreciate the work you’re putting in to make the fediverse a more active place.

Thought about phrasing this as a backhanded compliment as a meme but I’d rather just be genuine lol

Trying to literally ELI5 so this might be oversimplified a bit:

New AI model using a Mixture of Experts (MoE) approach, which combines different AIs that are optimized for certain things into one AI that’s good at more things. This usually needs a lot of space on graphics cards and requires really high end hardware, but this model fits into 8gb of space on a card, which is a very common amount to have on a modern graphics card, so many more people will be able to use it.

Haven’t tried tagging or scheduling posts, but combining duplicate posts doesn’t work yet in voyager and that’s the only feature I really miss from the PWA. Otherwise piefed on voyager works pretty smoothly even if lemmy is the main focus, /u/aeharding@piefed.social has done a great job

Hard fucking pass, thanks

No worries, and definitely agree a lot of the vibes are shared between folk and country. Just feel like I should give country music a fair shot eventually because of how much I like folk, and “Lord Huron influences” sounded like the least likely to make me feel like I’m being waterboarded with used motor oil lmao

I love Lord Huron but I’ve always thought of him as folk rather than country, personally. Do you have any examples of country artists who’ve inspired him? I generally dislike country but I haven’t really given it a fair try and that sounds like a good place to start

Man people are not enjoying this one apparently but I want you to know it had me cackling like a psychopath at work

• There are many buggy UEFI implementations out there that require the Microsoft key to load built-in oproms during standard boot, potentially bricking your computer.

From what I’ve found looking into this before, nvidia graphics cards have these oproms so your own secure boot key + nvidia will brick your shit. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Are modern AMD cards any better for this? I’ve been itching to use my own keys for ages and this is the only thing holding me back

Also calling soda “pop”, although I think parts of the US do this too

Ralph sold me a lifetime supply of fentanyl

(I don’t do fentanyl so none is a lifetime supply)

Just read thru the bullet point list of violent acts by leftists in the article, and it’s actually hilarious to me how few things they had to list even ignoring that many of them are likely bullshit. Like for most of these points I could think of a couple examples of matching far right violence, and I’m not even American.

Worth reading the list tho cuz for honestly most of these points my reaction was “based” lmao

Honestly I’m basing this more on the fact amd is STILL out here releasing new am4 cpus than on their stated timelines, they just don’t know when to give up on a socket no matter what they claim (not complaining tho)

One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention yet is upgrade potential - on the intel system, you could move to an i7 or i9 from the same generation but you can’t get anything newer without replacing the motherboard as well. The amd one is AM5 and you’ll be able to pop a new CPU in for like the next six years - odds are good you’d want to upgrade the cpu by then anyway, so expect the amd option to save you the cost of a motherboard down the road. It also gives you a 750W psu rather than a 650, so there’s a higher chance you won’t have to replace that too on your next upgrade.

In terms of performance between the two, i’d actually expect the intel to be a marginally faster cpu and have better connectivity (AMD’s 8000 series is a bit weird compared to their 7000 or 9000 series options, and lack some pcie lanes compared to a standard gaming cpu). This isn’t a super relevant difference for gaming, but still worth knowing for comparing the computers. On the GPU front, which is the most important part for games, the 9070 is way better and this is probably where the price difference comes from. I’d expect the amd system to be noticeably better for gaming, though honestly the price to performance between the two computers probably tracks pretty well.

The other option worth considering is building a pc, which will let you pick a better cpu, MUCH better ram, a faster + more reliable ssd, and your choice of case vs either of these two pcs. I don’t know what the price of that would look like in your market, so maybe not worthwhile, but I’d def recommend checking out the option at least because both of these prebuilts are skimping a little on ram and probably on the mobo/psu/cooling as well.

I’d tell you how I did it if I remembered, but I have zero memory of setting it up lmao sorry. Good luck!

What do you mean by audio support for directions? There’s turn by turn audio output already iirc

Damn I wish this were true

Thanks, this is what I was thinking of but fucked up my muppets lore haha

Oh sorry I was in a rush reading your post the first time and fully missed that your wireless adapter was broken lol. Do you have a 3.5mm audio cable to use? I honestly don’t even know if the USB port supports audio but my gut feeling would be charging only (can’t imagine why they’d bother putting a DAC in the headphones). I won’t have my headphones or my pc for a couple days but I can poke around with this after that if you want anything tested on another similar setup, by then.
