Last month The RADV ray-tracing pipelines support was enabled by default but then later disabled for VanGogh APUs, notably the Steam Deck. Now though with the latest ray-tracing code in Mesa 23.2-devel the RADV driver is no longer blocking the support for VanGogh.

Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.

Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a--holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.

Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?

I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.

I've been looking for a TV for awhile now, and I've found that there aren't really any practical dumb ones. There are a few models, but they're more expensive and have lower specs, cheaper panels, fewer menu options, etc.

Overall, the smart TVs are going to be cheaper/better because the company plans to make money on target ads, data mining, etc. Just don't connect it or enter a wi-fi password. Sadly that's where we're at now.

Well, if you're on desktop and you don't mind installing scripts on your browser, there's a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

Well, to be fair, Mike Brady was a hot-shot architect and he had 6 kids sharing one bathroom. Maybe OP would be better off with stable diffusion.

I think in the early days it was because most here were left-leaning or libertarians, but now that the general public is starting to move in, it's more neutral/slightly negative.

OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven't looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.

Ahh, I get that reference. I fell asleep when I tried to watch the actual movie. Thanks.

I don't get it, but I'm upvoting.

Yup, just the cheap antenna that came with the TV stick. But it did work with cable before Time Warner / Spectrum switched to cable boxes.

I dual boot Kubuntu ~~22.04~~(edit: 23.04) on the SD. Using a Pinnacle 801e TV stick and NextPVR for viewing.

The TV stick does most of the heavy lifting, CPU usage was really low. Drivers weren't an issue. It's already supported in the kernel.

I just got sick of that damn hedgehog struttin' around like he owns the place.

Craft Computing - Hooooo boy... The nVidia RTX 4060 has been launched to an absolute $hit storm of hellfire from hardware reviewers big and small. And the numbers they're coming up with ARE accurate, but do they tell the entire story? If everything your review is garbage now, it might be time to re-evaluate the way we review hardware.
