  • I mean, yeah. That is a privilege. She is privileged to be able to be an activist.

    People acting like “privilege” is some awful phrase is why MAGA types go out of their way to deny their privilege.

    Doing what greta has done was never an option for me. But things I’ve done were never options for other people. And that doesn’t make either of us bad people. Just lucky.

    If you have the privilege to do whatever you want, hopefully “whatever you want” is positive and not punching down

    No offense to polka, but that’s a terrible false equivalence. You’re reducing someone’s cultural impact to “award nominations” and also, “Grammy nomination for polka” and “Grammy nomination for rap” is like saying that “The academy award for set design is the same as the academy award for best actor.” The Versatones weren’t up against Jay-Z, Nelly, DMX and Missy Elliott for their award. Just to be included in that group of people is an honor.

    Sure he’s irrelevant now and has been for a while, but I feel like “formerly popular rapper” is more truthful than “low level”


  • https://cherryxtrfy.com/mice/mz1-wireless/

    This mouse is designed to be extremely light weight. So the battery is small (500 mAh is less than half a AAA battery).

    And it’s designed to handle up to 50g of acceleration (ie, fast FPS twitch movements), so it has to be doing a lot of tracking.

    So between higher power consumption than normal mice and a smaller battery than normal mice, it only advertises 75* hours of use (* Depending on Hz, lighting on/off and playstyle).

    I could absolutely get a mouse that lasts much longer. But not one that meets all the other criteria I have for a performance gaming mouse. I wasn’t attempting to come in hot about “wireless bad” or anything, just sharing my experience.

    The batteries are my main issue.

    12 hour battery? I charge every night.

    4 day battery life? I forget to charge until it dies, and then it dies in the middle of using it.

    The mouse I have is only wireless for the “less drag while gaming” aspect but the cable is actually super nice, so I dont even mind the cable… I just leave it plugged in now.


  • I use ethernet for everything, so even now I don’t use WiFi. I only figured out it worked because my internet was out a few months later and needed to connect to a hotspot, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not crashing. I also don’t really mess with RGB or bluetooth, so I cant really comment on those either. The motherboard itself always worked, it was just the integrated chips (it was new wifi 7 chip) that I wasn’t actually using anyway. It may have been fixed in days, weeks… who knows, I wasnt testing it.

    tl;dr - sorry, I don’t have a good answer. The board always “worked” for my use case.










  • The strong irony is that when high core count and asymmetrical multi-CCD chips started rolling out, they were having CCD pinning issues in windows. But since Linux has a scheduler that has been NUMA awareness for ages… Linux was actually just fine with these things.

    Linux was actually better for bleeding edge hardware for once.


  • Those fancy textured clumps of frosting that make up the “trim” of a cake are usually dried out by the time you get to eating the cake. Just not good.

    But the question is whether you want to choose based on flavor, texture, or appearance. If you want a pink princess cake from the bottom right. Get that. If you want cheesecake because that’s your favorite, get that. Like sprinkles? Do that. Dislike sprinkles because texture? Skip them!

    Pick what makes you happy.

    I personally would go with the cheesecake or the top middle cake, I think. But I’d skip the clumps on top of the middle cake.


  • I built a new 9950x3d + x870e system last year. trying to use the motherboard’s wifi would kernel panic things. couldnt turn bluetooth on and off. couldn’t control the RGB.

    Now, WiFi works great. Bluetooth works great. OpenRGB supports the RGB. Things are great. Took time to get here, but we got here.
