A month ago as of tomorrow I got fed up with Windows and googled “gaming Linux”, picked Garuda because it was near the top result and I like the FFXIV Garuda, was wiping my Windows drive within fifteen minutes of deciding I was done, and have been gaming with my 3080 since. Haven’t touched X11 because Garuda defaults to Wayland and I don’t even know the difference between them, and so far everything has just worked
I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18
I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it’s roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don’t have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we’re visiting nearby cities
There’s generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there’s two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn’t a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot
PL2 on a 14900T is 106W
Edit: I’m an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous
That’s not likely to be the case much longer, at least in some brands. Toyota got approval to mass market sell steer by wire in the US last year, though I think they’ve only released one crossover with it
What aluminum cans are you getting that don’t have a plastic lining?
My 3900X idles at 35 and hits 65 when it’s 100% all cores. With a decent cooler modern AMD runs pretty chill
I actually like the taste of pure cranberry juice, but it’s too expensive to buy just for drinking so I mostly end up drinking half the bottle while I cook holiday meals after I’ve started the cranberry sauce

This is a pretty maintained list, and even if I disagree with the inclusion of some things because all you’re missing is cosmetics, it is pretty easy to argue that “complete game offline” should include all content of that game, so I’m not gonna start a fight about it
But if you buy from GOG, make sure it doesn’t have DRM, because GOG has been selling a few games that have DRM for a few years now
Nah the actual in universe explanation is that Dobby is weird for wanting to be freed. Literal direct quote from Goblet of Fire
“But Harry set Dobby free, and he was over the moon about it!” said Hermione. “And we heard he’s asking for wages now!”
“Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed. I’m not sayin’ there isn’t the odd elf who’d take freedom, but yeh’ll never persuade most of ’em ter do it — no, nothin’ doin’, Hermione.”
Hermione looked very cross indeed and stuffed her box of badges back into her cloak pocket.
That’s not true, there’s also Helena Bonham Carter and the now deceased Robbie Coltrane
In a since-deleted post on her site Pottermore, the writer argued that while freeing the slaves was noble in isolation, being enslaved is what’s better for the elves right now and they should stay that way until they politely ask to not be enslaved.
I don’t know who the original writer is and I don’t know of an archived copy before Pottermore ended and everything was transferred to Wizarding World, but I believe it’s from an era of Pottermore where she wrote the blog entries herself
“literally” being used to mean “figuratively” dates back to 3 years after the word “literally” began meaning “actually”. If this is a hill to die on, you need to use “literally” exclusively to mean “as written in the texts”. Common usage of “literally” to mean “actually” and “figuratively” both date to the 1590s
Hey! I know it’s been a couple weeks but I figured I’d say that I went down to the lobby at 10am just now, and there’s two guys in there right now swapping out the cash reader. There’s the regular restocker doing his job and a second guy with one of the handheld firmware loader things, I’m not sure if it just needs a software change or if he needs to be there to swap the actual slot, but it does look swappable
