- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 1 day ago:
Or just have DLSS run the game at 480p, but upscale it to 4k! You’ll never notice the difference we swear!

Especially when you returned a car.
- Comment on McDonald's criticizes US restaurant industry for uneven wage policies 6 days ago:
Depends on your area. Near me it starts at 15 an hour.
But mcdonalds is consistently the lowest paying of all the fast food companies. The taco bell down the street was paying $15 when McDicks was paying 10. Now T Bell is up to 20 or 22, and Mc is still at 15.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
Those 200gb games take a while to download, even on a gigabit internet connection.
- Comment on AI crawlers destroying websites in hunger for content 1 week ago:
Moreover, AI crawlers are much more aggressive than standard crawlers. As the InMotionhosting web hosting company notes, they also tend to disregard crawl delays or bandwidth-saving guidelines and extract full page text, and sometimes attempt to follow dynamic links or scripts.
So they’re just lazily programmed crawlers. Ironically trying to block them can cause web traffic to go up not down when people use more advanced methods to get around blocking. When you switch from a simple wget command ripping the bare page to a full blown chrome browser loading all the pictures, JS, and other junk that shit adds up.
- Comment on I refuse to by a new mouse 1 week ago:
Pretty much no manufacturer is going to sell you parts besides maybe replacement feet. But the only things that fail on mice are all jellybean components.
Left mouse button fails? Buy another from mouser. Middle button fails? Digikey. Side button? Some other components selling company.
Outside of those super light mice there’s nothing special about any of them other than the exact layout, and the case. And the cheaper the mouse usually the simpler they are on the inside, and the easier it is to solder. Most PCBs will be single sided with through hole components.
- Comment on My writing laptop just died 2 weeks ago:
You can also just not activate it. There’s nothing stopping you from using the computer with the water mark. It’s not like XP which was super picky and would legit lock you out. Vista + just makes it kinda ugly but it works.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 3 weeks ago:
It is the only part of the body without a blood supply. Instead, it receives nutrients via aqueous humor (the liquid between the cornea and vitreous).
Instead, oxygen dissolves in tears and then diffuses throughout the cornea to keep it healthy.[5] Similarly, nutrients are transported via diffusion from the tear fluid through the outside surface and the aqueous humour through the inside surface.
And because that seemed lacking still and I’m too dumb to figure it out ChatGPT’s response:
The palpebral conjunctival blood vessels and the capillaries of the eyelids supply oxygen to the tear film behind closed lids. Oxygen diffuses from these vessels into the cornea.

What would lemmy.sh do? Install the latest screenfetch and post it online?
- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 4 weeks ago:
frame.work/products/usb-c-expansion-card?v=FRACCQ…
On Framework Laptop 13 Intel platforms, that means Thunderbolt 4/USB4
Framework Laptop 16 additionally supports up to 48V/5A charging
Impressive. It is short enough that I’m not surprised it works. I have a 4 inch passive cable that successfully does TB4/PD100. I’m not ballsey enough to try anything higher. Looks like there’s maybe some passives on the other side of the one they currently sell, but that doesn’t count.
- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 4 weeks ago:
They are if you have a retimer/redriver. Most extension cables do not.
I can’t find a picture of the inside of the module, but I guarantee you it’s not just a straight through cable. It’s got active circuitry in there.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 4 weeks ago:
IMO Linux’s biggest problem is choices. Normal people don’t really want choices, they just want the one, and it needs to work. The second you tell them there’s 17 different options, and each one has 9 sub options, and each sub option has 4 more sub sub options they just tune out. Got a problem? Google “Linux fix XYZ” and there’s 300 different fixes and maybe one of them works. Or maybe it doesn’t.
With windows there’s 1 or 2 windows. You get what Microsoft thinks is best. Don’t like it? Maybe someone’s made a tweak. But odds are too bad, suck it up. And then they move on with their life.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 weeks ago:
I loved the servers that were 24/7 metro, no drags etc. some of those were (and still are) my favorite. Or pistols only, no Glock 18. When you get rid of custom servers you get rid of that custom experience.
- Comment on OpenAI releases a free GPT model that can run on your laptop 5 weeks ago:
I tried it out last night and it ran quite well on my heavily thermally limited i9 11950h/rtx 3080 laptop. I had maybe 6 or 7 gigs of main ram used in total, with docker running. It was only using about 12 gigs of vram in my very limited testing.
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 5 weeks ago:
It’s probably upping my number of search clicks because I want to figure out what sort of crack it was on when it came up with my answer.
- Comment on OpenAI releases a free GPT model that can run on your laptop 5 weeks ago:
This is the internet, we’re only allowed to be snarky here.
- Comment on I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust 1 month ago:
Why would it? FOSS doesn’t have the funding that commercial software does.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 1 month ago:
Also microwaves are only 2.4ghz. Any modern device should have a strong 5ghz connection in what I assume is a cramped apartment.
5ghz also has less interference problems, but it’s not immune.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 1 month ago:
Research undertaken in New Zealand showed that a zebra crossing without other safety features on average increases pedestrian crashes by 28% compared to a location without crossings.
See, that’s mostly what I was thinking. “Zebra stripes” make pedestrians feel safe to cross, and have virtually no impact on drivers who can easily just ignore them. But paired with other things they are a good addition, especially since it tells pedestrians where to cross.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 1 month ago:
Yes, but it’s incredibly slow, wasteful and, unsafe. Companies have tried making hardware that does this at a room level, but have largely failed because it’s so wasteful and slow.
Eevblog has a bunch of videos debunking these things youtu.be/2rSQnRV5ztI
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 1 month ago:
Any time I see an intersection I assume there might be people. Downtown where I’m at there’s rarely crosswalks at intersections unless it’s a major through road.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 1 month ago:
Does painting a crosswalk really increase safety? I feel like the type of person not pay attention and run someone over is the type of person to not care if there’s a crosswalk, not pay attention, and run someone over.
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 1 month ago:
Yes, besides falling asleep at the wheel that’s also why you shouldn’t drive when tired.
- Comment on Where will it stop ? 1 month ago:
Feta and goat cheeses are also white, but I doubt they go on pizza.
You thought wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Im a casual gamer
No. You have to be dedicated to this and push for years to maybe, just maybe make actual money. Not only do you have to be a gamer, but you also have to have a personality people like.
- Comment on If i stain or spill a drink on a shirt, can i just wash it in the bath with generic soap and let it soak rinse and dry to get the same thing as a whole load of laundry? 1 month ago:
This was how people washed clothes before modern laundry machines.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 1 month ago:
The biggest key is the quality of posting. If you’re posting a fuck ton, but it’s amazing content that fits the community and does well then yeah it’s great. If you’re just reposting memes from other communities or straight up trolling then that shit gets annoying real fast.
- Comment on Do dams pregame? 1 month ago:
But can’t dam operators see a storm forecast and start drinking, er draining, ahead of time?
Yes, they already do this. When rain is expected they lower the levels of the dam. Even just smaller rainfalls not quite flooding territory. But there’s only so much water you can drain before it starts causing problems for the dam.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 months ago:
You can’t hold a gaming laptop in your hands (and actually use it)
Of course a larger device will cost less/provide better performance. You’re paying a premium for the handheld formfactor. Just like how with a gaming laptop you’re paying a premium vs a 50+ pound desktop.
