The only thing I trust these days are reviewers (websites,Youtubers, etc). I think most of these "leaks" are intentional.
I remember those days, playing games with DOS4GW or whatever it was called. Man, I don't miss that.
Yeah, but this happens with every version. Windows 7 still had a big market share up until MSFT cut off support. Users are going to bitch and complain and talk about switching to Linux, but eventually just install the next Windows version.
I used to watch it on the Discovery Channel in the US, before that whole reality TV thing.
Unfortunately, a certain government(all three branches) could make things very difficult for AMD if they don't play ball.
And we make it worse by saying "Just pick one. It doesn't matter what instance you're on because they're federated."
Some people are going to be very upset to find their local feed is a lot of content they don't agree with. Or when they go out into the fediverse and people automatically assume they're an A-hole because of the instance they're from. I mean, it's generally not that bad, but there are a few instances that are that bad.
And for people like me who gravitate toward smaller instances, that instance is probably gonna die. Happened to me twice already, 4 times if you count Mastodon and Peertube.
I assume they’re mostly going to “spare change” jars in people’s homes.
I've never understood that. Even if they accumulate a fair amount, now they have to roll the coins and take them to a very unhappy bank teller, or just dump them in a coinstar machine which takes a percent off the top.
I'm the exact opposite. I always try to get rid of my coins. I save a handful of quarters, nickels & dimes in my car for parking meters, but that's it. If I can't spend them, I'll just go to the credit union and deposit a $20 bill + 78¢ or whatever.
Plot twist - while I'm at the credit union, I ask if they have $2 bills. I got $80 worth last time. Now I'm the weird guy who tips in $2 bills. And people save those too, thinking they're rare or out of circulation.
ASUS' website has the 128Gb version at $2,800.
I guess if I get REALLY bored, I might do a fresh install and load up legacy drivers just to see what the performance is like with the old cards. It would be interesting to see how they stack up to the Vega APU.
I'm not going to actually use these cards, just trying them out for the heck of it.
I saw the SR+RoadCraft package on Steam. I might check it out.
😁Yesterday I got bored and decided to try out my old GPUs with Vulkan. I had an HD 5830, GTX 460 and GTX 770 4Gb laying around so I figured "Why not".
Long story short - Vulkan didn't recognize them, hell, Linux didn't even recognize them. They didn't show up in nvtop, nvidia-smi or anything. I didn't think to check dmesg.
Honestly, I thought the 770 would work; it hasn't been in legacy status that long. It might work with an older Nvidia driver version (I'm on 550 now) but I'm not messing with that stuff just because I'm bored.
So for now the oldest GPUs I can get running are a Ryzen 5700G APU and 1080ti. Both Vega and Pascal came out in early 2017 according to Wikipedia. Those people disappointed that their RX 500 and RX 5000 don't work in Ollama should give Llama.cpp Vulkan a shot. Kobold has a Vulkan option too.
The 5700G works fine alongside Nvidia GPUs in Vulkan. The performance is what you'd expect from an APU, but at least it works. Now I'm tempted to buy a 7600 XT just to see how it does.
Has anyone else out there tried Vulkan?
Well, it was nice ... having hope, I mean. That was a good feeling.

I do some coding now and then, and I learned the hard way those two are not the same. I shall join your fight.
