Has it? I've been seeing a lotta "kink at pride" discourse over on Twitter. To the point where I finally muted it, because there are so many other things that we as a community could focus on about pride instead.

Or just simply "Windows"

star citizen is the perfect case study for how scope creep can destroy a project tbh

Since graphics card stock will probably recover soon I think I'm gonna try to get an RTX 3070 by the year's end

There are hundreds of Dark Knights gathered in Ul'dah in Final Fantasy XIV right now, as part of a vigil for Kentaro Miura. A rather well-known mangaka who passed away after overworking himself and developing aortic dissection a few weeks ago.
Why Dark Knight specifically? Because DRK pulls a lot from Miura's most famous work, Berserk. Its gameplay, story and aesthetics all take as much inspiration from Berserk as it does older Final Fantasy games (namely IV and VII... speaking of VII, Cloud's entire kit is also because of Berserk!)
There's the whole thing with the GCBTW and toxic players, particularly in higher tier content, but... sometimes it's legitimately great.
also yes i unlocked dark knight just so i could properly join this

Man, and all the reviews of that folding tablet Lenovo made said "just wait for Windows 10X" because Windows 10 on it sucked ass Guess not

Yeah, I genuinely hope that if they're feeling suicidal because of this do seek professional help. But honestly? After going through like... 7 crashes, if I were a crypto trader (and didn't put everything into crypto) I'd just simply take the L and stop trying to get rich off of what is essentially monopoly money.
-
Everything is going down, apparently because China banned cryptocurrency mining
-
Crypto is crashing again lol

i hope people who feel depressed and suicidal DOES seek professional help, this isnt a joke

You know You're right, actually. This could determine if Nvidia or AMD will be the graphics card maker of choice for non-gaming workloads like crunching large numbers and GPU-accelerated scientific work.

Something that can lose billions of dollars of value just because of a single man and has been dropped as a payment method by just about everyone because of its volatility doesn't seem like a "real" currency, tbh. It's also supposed to be "decentralized" but a lot of it seems rather centralized on the ultra-wealthy. Money is fake anyway, but I always found the fact that cryptocurrency is so volatile that any one small thing can cause people to instantly go from being rich to losing everything not worth the investment.

idk man, I've seen several GPU shortages just so happen to coincide with crypto mining booms. I know that correlation isn't causation, but considering the circumstances... CPU I won in an Intel contest 3 years ago, GPU I bought off a friend because my 1070 was getting more and more unstable and I wanted something that would be stable (it got shipped in an envelope instead of a box and got damaged in the mail, and while it works it's... not stable.) I might just join a Micro Center shipment watching Discord server and try to get a RTX 3070 at MSRP that way later, because I don't see myself paying scalper prices but I do want something stable.
-
don't threaten me with a good time Do miners not contribute to shortages? Look man, if you wanna get scammed while thinking you're getting richer, we already had Ponzi schemes.
-
Name these features aside from something that won't impact most people who want to buy these cards. Oh don't worry, I know about the scalpers too. Miners aren't helping the situation either. Did you know that miners are hogging up entire production lines with custom hardware so they can feel like they're getting rich through their unstable, useless currencies? Gee, I wonder what else could be made on those production lines, and who's giving scalpers more chances to take advantage of stock shortages...
-
I'm against mining because of the ecological cost, as well as its extreme instability and uselessness for actual purchases of things. Maybe if mining didn't take up more energy than an entire country while pumping the equivalent of 75 years of an average EU citizen's CO2 all at once into the atmosphere or it wasn't so unstable a single person could wipe billions in seconds just by being an unfunny jackass on Twitter (or SNL) I wouldn't be so against it, but that's the way how things be.
-
I'll gladly take one if it means I don't have to pay $1400 for a $500 graphics card instead of the card going to people who think they're getting rich off a highly unstable currency that's almost useless for anything you'd actually use money for, while using up more energy than the entirety of Peru. Limiting the hash rate for Ethereum means nothing to people who want these cards for purposes other than that, like... gaming, or GPU-accelerated scientific computations.
-
They're the same cards outside of these specific loads tho
-
Are they "inferior" when they're only rate limited under specific loads?
-
Got any other USB ports around?
-
just plug it into a front-panel USB port

From the System76 keyboard marketing materials:
"In addition to the central USB-C port for connecting to your system, Launch features two high-speed USB-C and USB-A ports. Transfer 1TB of video footage in 15 minutes, compared to 5 hours on other keyboards.*
*For maximum transfer speed, Launch must be plugged into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port on your computer. Estimate based on maximum potential data transfer speed."
Okay, but who the fuck uses a USB port on a keyboard to transfer a terabyte of anything?!

Got a USB hub, it's filled with devices because I only pulled one USB signal cable in
Keyboard, mouse, drawing tablet, microphone(USB), webcam, something else x2
It's there, if you use it then great, if you don't then meh
I won't say no to extra ports, I use the port in my keyboard for wireless gamepad dongle so it stays close and won't lose signal, as it probably doesn't have enough current for hard disk, but yea
-
There are more expensive keyboards out there (I'm talking upwards of $600), with normal staggered/ortholinear layouts and don't try marketing standard enthusiast features as "innovation". The more I look into this keyboard the more I find it laughable. This is a keyboard for nobody.
