I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again! ( i.imgur.com )

Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....

This is also how it is in America, but a lot of people get pissy with you for “stopping” in the sidewalk even in the right turn lane (I assume left for y’all)

Probably so, but Apple is the only one I’ve encountered actually using it. The whole point is it’s supposed to be backwards compatible and it’s just not

Not an android user or anything, but I would assume there are apps to disable charging the battery. Or apps to allow you to use a phone without the battery.

If you can disable charging then I’d discharge to 20% or so then disable charging and connect it. 20% should be a fairly safe storage capacity for the battery. Maybe 30-40 to be on a bit safer side.

Then you could just go through a battery cycle once a month or so to ensure different cells get used. I’m sure you could figure out an automation for that mr tester man.

Why are Ryzen 7040 and 7045 series based devices still not out in the market, despite being released almost a year ago?

Ryzen 8040 series is already out. There's hardly any device available on any e-commerce or local shops with the above chipset? In fact, there's hardly a few 7030 and 7035 series based devices available? What is happening?...

It’s called the Z1 Extreme. They have absolutely come out with 7840U SKUs as well (the Z1 Extreme non binned)

Also https://frame.work/products/laptop-13-gen-amd has the 7x40U SKUs lol

Both Lenovo and ASUS are using the Z1 in their handhelds

macgyver ,
@macgyver@federation.red avatar

The Z1 is likely a 7540U but the Z1 Extreme is definitely a 7840U. The thing is they’re likely binning a good portion of the 7840U chips and the ones that perform well at lower wattages get to become Z1s

I can tell you it really is a compute beast all things considered TDP wise and such. I have an Ally with the Z1E and the compute performance under plugged in turbo conditions is out of this world. Perf is very similar to a 5700 it blows my mind.

4/6/8 have all been mobile/APU versions of the previous gen fwiw. They changed that up some with the 7000 series and their naming scheme as the 4x indicated Zen 4 (as you likely know). I think (could be wrong) 8000 will indicate Zen 4 by default.

Additionally, technically the 7950x3d is an APU lol. AMD isn't helping with the schema

Go to Shellix.xyz and buy a site membership cheap. Or just google “x.com shoppy.gg”. Great for more than porn accounts but yeah. That way you can get it in 8K or w/e.

Private/public torrent sites are good for those things though

Absolutely, you can pretty quickly grind ships. Salvage is paying a lot right now so, rent a Vulture and have at it.

You can rent ships in game for much less than the in game cost of the ship and every flyable ship is buyable in game that didn’t come out for the current patch. There are three new ships this patch but all 40-50 others are buyable in game.

macgyver ,
@macgyver@federation.red avatar

It’s not my fault they haven’t at least tried the four times a year free fly events lately. Some of them have good reason to be salty, I still have ships I’ve been waiting years for and I’m not in the honeymoon phase with the game anymore.

Overall it’s a smart way to fund development of a server meshing software you can license to other companies later. The game has technologies behind it specifically made to do this at business scale, and they are just applying them to a video game. (Kubernetes, microservices, containers, etc.)

I wish the game would be finished already but as long as squadron 42 comes out idc. That’s originally what I backed.

Honestly that is a fair point, it is a nice way to get people in that have been on the fence when you’re sherpa-ing them around

Ask in chat to be in a reclaimer crew and the answer is a couple hours. If you really play by the gameplay loops, it all depends on what you want to grind. It takes 100 or so bounties to get to around a million credits but less for the next set as they get harder you make more money. There’s also plenty of illegal ways to make money but those have their obvious drawbacks

macgyver , (edited )
@macgyver@federation.red avatar

Haha you’re right sorry. Bounties take about 15 min or so if you’re taking your time. So 4 bounties an hour and you can easily get to the 15k+ bounties so 60k/h so like 20 hours.

Thats pretty loose numbers as well, you can make more money with A Call to Arms to make extra cash with bounties and better bounties give you up to 70k (but starter ships can’t really do those hence not being included in my math).

You can get the money faster salvaging currently. Vulture can be rented in game and scraping a ship will net you ~$100k a run and cost about 30 min of time.

This means about every 15-20 hours of normal gameplay can net you 1-1.5 million with HRTs and a light fighter. There are many other ways to make money faster, but this is the fastest established gameplay loop (not salvage). Most ships are 3 million or less credits with ground vehicles being 750k or less. You absolutely do not need to spend real money on ships.

If you play a few hours a day for a week you’ll have enough money for a ship. Worst case you can literally just say you’re new and ask for money in chat, people are very generous and welcoming on SC. The Reclaimer is making me about $2.5mil an hour sharing profit with my box boy lol.

What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?

Just recently I was in a conversation with a number of UK mainlanders and we had a debate over what "tories" meant, apparently disproportionately ordinarily it refers to a political party and it's not usual to use it as short for "territories" as I've used it (according to how the debate ended, it was half and half between...

Understatement would be like “it’s just sprinkling” when it’s actually raining really bad. Typically used sarcastically when someone tries to compare the situation to something that is normally comparable but to a lesser degree.

Unless I am unclear on what you’re misunderstanding :)

You’re basically making the exact same Betamax vs VHS argument. The only different is Apple is the Porn industry embracing Bluetooth in favor of wired products.

macgyver ,
@macgyver@federation.red avatar

How is this not technically also the same? WiFi can replace Ethernet all of the time with degraded connectivity outside of super secure offerings. The same argument is made for production quality vs home release quality.
