There are bistros like that everywhere in France (minus the moules frites I guess :), maybe I’m used to spotting the nice ones but I’ve almost never had a bad experience with them.
I know, it's just that I have had more mediocre experiences with them, to say it kindly.
Didn't know about le fooding, will try to keep it in mind next time.
I have to side with @The_v@lemmy.world here.
I live in Belgium and I've been to France many times, for both work and leisure. I've eaten very well in France on occasion, but generally speaking it is indeed harder to find good places to eat, and reviews and even recommendations by local coworkers often haven't been in line with my own experience. The amount of overpriced leather shoe sole steaks that I've had to endure... Paris is obviously the worst, because of the many tourist traps and it being an unfriendly city in general, but even in the Provence and in smaller towns, we had to be more mindful of which place to pick.
Especially finding good "simple" food in a casual setting can be a challenge, I mean, nobody wants to do the full white tablecloth 4-course fine dining thing every night. Here in Belgium, even in touristy places, you can always find a decent brasserie or casual restaurant where they serve the simple classics well, things like moules frites, a decent entrecôte, flemish stew, or even a simple pasta or burger.
It’s also funny because despite having such an “unpopular” cuisine, you likely use either “Hors d’œuvre” or “entrée” to describe the course before the main course and you probably use the word “dessert” for the sweet stuff that comes after. Or perhaps you use the term “restaurant” to describe a place where you might eat. All French.
90% of the English food vocabulary comes from French. Words like beef, pork, vennison, mutton, veal, sauce, omelet, dinner, apéritif, café, soup, ... all come from French.
Back in the day (60’s),
The Michelin guide exists since 1900 even.
It does sound like the graphics side may be the culprit somehow. Not necessarily the hardware being broken, but the R9 is fairly old and perhaps support got broken somewhere along the way, and nobody ever noticed it?
Are you using the radeon or amdgpu driver btw? There is a section on the Arch wiki that talks about into instability with the radeon driver specifically with the R9 390: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#R9_390_series_poor_performance_and/or_instability
IIRC Plasma 6/QT6 does use vulkan heavily instead of OpenGL. Some additional things you could try:
Pentium 2 and 3 had rudimentary protection. They would simply shutdown if they got too hot. Pentium 4 was the first one that would throttle down clock speeds.
Anything before that didn't have any protection as far as I'm aware.
That’s not true. It was just last year that some of the Ryzen 7000 models were burning themselves
I think he was referring to "back-in-the-day" when Athlons, unlike the competing Pentium 3 and 4 CPUs of the day, didn't have any thermal protections and would literally go up in smoke if you ran them without cooling.
Why does that graph show Epyc (server) and Threadripper (workstation) processors in the upper right corner, but not the equivalent Xeons? If you take those away, it would paint a different picture.
Also, a price/performance graph does not say much about which is the superior technology. Intel has been struggling to keep up with AMD technologically the past years, and has been upping power targets and thermal limits to do so ... which is one of the reasons why we are here points at headline.
I do hope they get their act together, because we an AMD monopoly would just be as bad as an Intel monopoly. We need the competition, and a healthy x86 market, lest proprietary ARM based computers take over the market (Apple M-chips, Snapdragon laptops,...)
Thanks for the neatly summarized overview.
I'm not an expert on the American justice system, and I guess it shows, but in most countries prosecutors are magistrates who are part of the judiciary and who are independent from the executive branch. For example in my country it's like this: https://www.advocaat.be/en/words/magistracy
IIRC, this comes from the Napoleonic Code which many countries used as a basis for their legal system.
Weird system. In most countries public prosecutors are firmly in the judicial branch, because they are expected to be impartial and independent from the executive branch.
Ralph lives!
