Getting the Skyrim itch again... Any mod recommendations to freshen it up?
  • I've returned to the game too, after a fairly long break, and ended up settling on Thuldor's preset. I love Simonrim, so it saved me the time on putting it together, but all the newest fixes/modernization efforts are there too. Strongly recommended. The leveling process is completely different, and that's something I haven't tried before. About 60 hours in, it's really damn solid

  • Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland?
  • I wasn’t having many issues to begin with, but with the introduction of explicit sync into Kwin, and driver improvements throughout the 555 beta series, it’s been just about perfect for me.

    The only issue i’ve encountered so far is the panel freezing sometimes. Submit a bug report to both KDE and Nvidia, they’re working on it.

  • FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • For quite a long time now, it's been the case that if your vendor makes this hard as is, a carrier on top of that will make it considerably worse. As an example, take a look at older Samsung devices, that all needed special-tailored roms for each carrier variant

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • I'm by no means a musician, let alone a professional one, but this part does admittedly suck. The actual sound backend works phenomenally well, especially when combining Pipewire and JACK for audio production, however using Windows-native VST/VST3 plugins is a horrible experience. A lot of mine are either really laggy, or just don't load properly at all

  • Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview; a scathing critique of 'brand safe' influencers
  • Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it's a status symbol.

    On the topic of Marques though - I haven't watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I've had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That's not unbiased journalism at all.

  • We literally agree with each other, and yet you're still arguing. The reason why it's a scam, is because people sell it like some kind of a godsend, when it's literally not used in the way it is intended to be used. When it is, that's great. When it's trained properly, that's even better. But that's not the reality

  • I chose those examples, because that's what's been heavily marketed recently, and it all either fundamentally failed, ended up being a scam, or both.

    In contrast:

    • devops is software automation practices...?
    • edge computing is on-call load balancing? It's horrendously expensive though, so i'll give them time to figure it out
    • IoT, admittedly, is largely oversold, but even then, there were a ton of products on the market that absolutely outlived all 3 of the examples i've given, combined. HomeAssistant+Zigbee home automation is awesome. A raspberryPi is "iot". Your smartwatch is "iot".

    There's a difference between cherry-picking, and refusing to accept that something is a scam. Crypto ended up begging for government regulation, when the original intention was to move away from it. NFTs are a pump-and-dump ponzi scheme. web3 literally doesn't mean anything

  • Twitch banned Dr Disrespect after viewing messages sent to a minor, say former employees
  • Such a fucking sleazebag. A few hours ago he's said all accusations against him are completely false, but now he's figured out there's no coming back, because his money is going away, and he's trying to pull the rug back. Fuck directly off.

    Anyone who ever liked watching this narcissistic pedo is beyond my understanding. What he's saying isn't even damage control. He immediately turned it around, and made himself the victim

  • Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly
  • Can you reminds us what the current state of NFTs is? Or most crypto? Web3 tech? This is next.

    Of course Nvidia are the highest-valued company. They capitalized on idiots misusing the technology, until it created issues in society, for personal gain.
