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.

I'm going to get one at the ~$300 level. Their discord channel is pretty active. David and some of the collaborators show up there pretty often. https://discord.gg/nS2PqEC

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

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.

I'm perfectly fine with blocking Meta, any megacorp really, but Meta especially. I have relatives who are still unvaccinated and afraid of 5G radio towers because of some nonsense they read on Facebook.

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.

You federated wrong. You're actually on Legume-ey.world

I'll see myself out.

I guess I'm just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn't disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I'm sure he meant to but forgot.

Or it would just be a random post.

I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.

Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe "news" that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won't get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.

So education funding rarely gets increased.

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.

Totally.

There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I'm glad to get away from that.

There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.

We've a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.

Lemmy doesn't seem to allow uploading them natively, and it's hard to create a Mustangs Crashing or Idiots in Cars channel without an easy way to attach video.
