Unfortunately, Fediverse apps still have a lot of UX issues compared to their mainstream alternatives. Those will need to be smoothed over for mainstream adoption to take root.

They’re attractive to the tech inclined who are comfortable working around what, to them, is minor clunkiness. Mainstream users have shorter attention spans and are more likely to move on when there’s friction.

Far as the meme is concerned, the only Fediverse equivalent is Loops which is still in closed beta.

I’ve always found Group B to be the most fun in sims. Knew it was banned on account of safe issues but I don’t think I realized just how bad things got before then

… second paragraph of the article:

In addition to the basic plans getting Copilot rolled in, there are now additional "Basic," "Personal Classic," and "Family Classic" tiers without Copilot and "other advanced features" added for users who do not use AI in their workflows

I’ve had the issue with the plug falling out, actually bonked my Deck’s screen and cracked the protector while I was fishing headphones out of a bag on a flight.

I use a cable with a 90 degree tip and found that, for the outlets that are on the seat, I can attach the cable to the tray arm with a Clove Hitch to help the plug stay put and catch it if it falls.

There’s a little ramp on at least one edge of the socket that lets you lift the CPU so that you can then take it out. It may even be on both sides.

Voyager is giving me an error when I try to attach a photo, but it’s visible in the thumbnail for this video

Whole thing is really quite dumb. The cat just walks towards / stares at the drone, it does not physically prevent it from landing - the operator just gets spooked and flies off.

Not to mention that this is an article about a video that links to another article about the video.

The whole West Coast does not have a separate minimum wage for waitstaff, so tips are on top of wages. Makes the whole “20% tip” culture feel a bit weird to me, but it’s still the norm.

Been to a few no-tip restaurants, cost of individual menu items was higher relative to comparable items at other restaurants. I feel like I remember the final bill being comparable to or lower than meal+tip elsewhere.

Food establishments I am familiar with see tips split/shared between front of house (servers, host, etc) and back of house (kitchen staff)

Fucking finally

For starters, there’s more to gpu performance than memory speed and quantity.

believe that everybody should skip them

This strikes me as a bit weird. Everyone uses graphics cards for different things, everyone has different priorities, and most people who have a PC have different hardware.

I’ve got clients who edit video for work, and others who do it as a hobby. In the professional sphere, render times can have a pretty direct relationship with cashflow, so having the ‘best’ can mean the hardware pays for itself several times over.

I’ve got clients who only play one game and find it runs great on their current setup, others who are always playing the latest games and want them to perform well, and still others who play a game professionally/competitively and need every frame they can get. Some are happy at 1080p, others prefer 4k, and some may want to drive a high-end VR headset.

For some people, taking advantage of a new GPU might also require a new PSU of even a total platform upgrade.

To one person, a few hundred dollars is disposable income whereas to another it might represent their ability to eat that month.

These are all variables that will influence what is appropriate for one person or another.

If someone were to have ~$600 to spend, be in need of an upgrade to meet the requirements of an upcoming game they want to play at launch, and have a platform that will support it, I’m likely to recommend an RTX5070 to them.

If someone were to be happy enough with their current performance, I’m likely to recommend they wait and see what AMD puts out - or potentially even longer.

Personally, I’ve always waited until a game I’m excited for performs poorly before upgrading.

The first link has Nvidia graphics

The second is missing the GPU, VRAM, and related components. The “graphics card”, in a manner of speaking.

You should get the board that matches what you already have because the heatsink will be set up for that configuration.

Worth mentioning that, depending on what “damaged” means, it’s possible the original motherboard can be repaired for less than the cost of a replacement.
