Balenca vs Ventoy?
  • I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.

    Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.

    Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.

    Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.

  • The really simple solution to AMD's collapsing gaming GPU market share is lower prices from launch
  • I wonder how Microsoft feels about XBox and other things. Gaining marketshare by throwing money at it is an absolutely viable strategy for companies that can do it.

    AMD doesnt need to price-cut to compete here. If AMD could make OpenCL and similar projects more successful than CUDA and nVidia, which requires time,money,investment in people,talent, etc etc. then AMD might in 2 or 3 years have a viable alternative to compete.

  • oh no! think of the stock market!
  • so-called "gravity batteries" is pretty much exactly a dam with a mini-dam/reservoir at the bottom. When there is an excess, you run the motor to reverse the waterflow to pump uphill into a highe-elevation water retention pond/mini-dam.

    This also helps reduce the amount of outflow water "lost" due to high-demand. Since you could take almost a day to fill the bottom reservoir and spend "wind"/solar to pump back the "lost" water downstream back into the higher-level reservoir.

    Even if things are inefficient wind/solar are "renewable", so you can keep "wasting" excess to replenish the dam and still make enough money back ( think in-terms of drought, flooding, windy, sunny, cloudy, etc ) you can basically keep the high-output "system" always topped-up with water. And still supply water + electricity as it is needed. There is no "downside".

    Not everyone agrees. So opinions can differ.

  • The Arctic ocean photographed in the same place, 107 years ago vs today.
  • Or an Earth with Harsher winters and Massive Winterstorms followed by Scorching HeatWaves. Only cockaroaches will survive.

    Unless you are evolving into roaches, no human being will survive the Earth's mighty global climate swings.

  • Triggered
  • Truly, dinosaurs with guns ! Glocks to stave off the extinction of the species ! What a wonderful idea, I would have never thought of that, somehow I must have heard about it somewhere before, surely !

  • Study hack
  • If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

    If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .

  • Let me at 'em!!
  • Won't this cause nicks and dulling as sudden heating and impact lead to both knives becoming extremely useless ?

    Also replacing one of the knives with a sharpening rod, I can sort of suspend disbelief enough to believe it "possible".

  • Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening
  • they made a japanese game that insulted Japan and japanese people and japanese culture and wasn't even close to historical accuracy blending too many disjointed japanese eras including marketing Nuclear-bombing of Nagasaki ....

    :smh: Ubisoft is a "good" gamestudio from top-to-bottom.

    Im in favour of execution. The entire Ubisoft should be executed. i.e. fired from their jobs and company closed so that other game studios get the money to make better games than Ubisoft.

    Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUu7-i1kMyg <-- Truth that I have stated in this post confirmed.

    Edit2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYauJy9fJ0 <-- From a Japanese person's perspective.

    Edit3: Even Ubisoft Announcement states that they do poor "execution" of releasing their "products". My comment seems very prophetic since I wrote it without even knowing Ubisoft were cancelling/delaying AC:S. Sad but I told y'all so :'D

  • :: Spoiler discussion on DragonSteel Prime and also Way Of Kings Prime

    Has anyone read thoroughly DragonSteel and WayOfKings both as Prime-versions as well as the normal canonical versions?

    spoiler

    Spoiler WayOfKings Prime seems to be better than DragonSteel Prime.

    I found DragonSteel Prime kind of not a very good or even cohesive storyline compared to the WayOfKings Prime.

    WayOfKings-Prime reads almost like if someone tried to "Hollywood"-ify BrandoSando's WoK without really reading anything about Cosmere.

    But DragonSteel-Prime reads like some crazy drunk person tried to combine Pug/Magician and BelGarion/Belgariad(David Eddings ) and some more fantasy settings.

    I want more of these stories, the first drafts and the final editions ! It is very very fascinating how each story got revised, cut, re-written, re-arranged, etc.
