- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 13 hours ago:
I squeezed 7 years out of my 1070 before I replaced it.
You can easily get another 2-4 years out of your GPU. A 3060ti isn’t even old.
- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 13 hours ago:
Yeah seriously; never understood why a certain sector of people obsess over backing up their personal media, when you can literally download a perfect copy straight from the internet with no effort on your part. Especially when it comes to widely-available media like popular Hollywood films or video games that sold well. Just grab a torrent and toss the disc.

I really wish that they would hurry up and do an Oops! All Marshmallows version of Lucky Charms already.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 day ago:
Flat asphalt.
Like for example when you need to accelerate quickly to get around/avoid something. Most automatics I’ve driven will often shift into second too soon and absolutely refuse to drop back down to first gear—no matter how hard you stomp the acceleration pedal—even if there’s still plenty of room left in the rev range.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 1 day ago:
Unlike most of Lemmy, I actually like AI and even I don’t want this.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 day ago:
Not every automatic has that. Not to mention that there tends to be input lag when you hit the paddle, and there’s the fact that they won’t hold a gear when you need them to (instead they tend to automatically upshift right before redline). Manual mode is no substitute for a real manual.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 day ago:
Person with back and knee issues here: worth it to not have to deal with a slushbox that won’t downshift when I need it to. I’ll never give up my manual.

You picked a decent, reliable instance. Good choice.
Don’t forget to block Hexbear and LemmyGrad!
- Comment on Mullvad's privacy-focused search engine Leta is now free for all users | Leta acts as a proxy for Google and Brave search results 2 days ago:
Thankfully I don’t rely on it for “facts”, just for a quick summary on something or to get a definition of a word. Something like that.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 days ago:
Because small phones have a small viewing area, which is a pain in the ass to see, especially as you get older. Which is why I prefer foldables. The more screen real-estate I can fit in my pocket, the better.

Funny you say that, because my only complaint about this search engine is that it’s missing the AI “garbage”. I suppose I could just go directly to Gemini but it was convenient getting a quick answer without having to use two separate websites.

And to this day, people still won’t shut the fuck up about this fact in every comment section of every Speedy Gonzales video on YouTube.
- Comment on It may be true but doesn't help me today 1 week ago:
My first car was a 1986 Toyota 4Runner that I bought for $1200. It had 4WD, manual transmission and a removable top, effectively converting it from an SUV to a pickup truck with a back seat. It was an absolute blast romping through the desert with the top missing and my cousins in the back.
My biggest regret was selling it when I was 18 so I could buy a Mitsubishi Lancer because of the Fast and Furious films. Biggest mistake ever. It wasn’t even an Evo. Ended up crashing it a few years later. Now I drive a 350Z Roadster. Those stupid movies permanently changed my taste in cars (at least it’s a convertible).
Someday I will again own an SUV with a removable top. But they’re not exactly common. Broncos are too expensive and I don’t want a Jeep. Maybe in 10-20 years…
- Comment on What is the difference between same brand or different brand different 5070Ti gpus? I mean prices vary quite significantly 1 week ago:
Cooler designs vary and some GPUs may have a mild overclock. So if you wanted a vapor chamber or liquid cooling for your GPU, then it might be worth it to spend extra. Or if you wanted RGB/no RGB. Or maybe you want a white GPU to match your white motherboard.
Dont know if this is still a thing, but the Strix series of cards have/had hand picked chips that are/were guaranteed to overclock better than the average GPU of the same type. But Asus has done a lot of fucked up shit in recent years so I’d advise avoiding that brand.
Honestly, though. It doesn’t really matter what GPU you get. They all generally can reach the same clock speeds, regardless of whether or not they have a factory OC. Furthermore, it’s not 2010s AMD anymore; even on the cheapest cards, the coolers are designed to adequately cool the GPU.
Personally I just buy whatever’s affordable/available.

Fuck that noise; they’re absolutely delicious when added to Mac & Cheese.
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 1 week ago:
Yes lol. You’re still a baby. The cutoff is in your mid-to-late 30s.
- Comment on Why Are People Surprised When Trump Actually Follows Through? 1 week ago:
Because most Americans don’t pay attention to politics. Like at all.

Sliced in half and deep fried—in case anyone was wondering.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 1 week ago:
To be fair, a lot of anticheat tools don’t play nicely with Linux.
- Comment on Anyone remember this? 1 week ago:
Agreed. 1999-2000 was also peak internet for me. Netscape, Napster, Neopets, and Nick.com (and StarCraft multiplayer). It didn’t get any better than that.

“Throbber” animation? 🤔
- Comment on Based 2 weeks ago:
Or maybe they can stop being so god damn racist and start letting people from other countries become citizens.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel an inexplicable urge to talk to people early in the morning/late at night? 2 weeks ago:
I actively avoid speaking to people at all hours of the day.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 weeks ago:
Nobody engage with this person. Just do what the other person is doing and block them. They know deep down in their heart that Republicans have always been Nazis.
- Comment on The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry? 2 weeks ago:
I love my Toilet Paper-Link router. It’s the only one I’ve ever owned that didn’t start randomly losing the internet connection after two years. I don’t know why every router starts acting up like that; I’ve had issues with literally every brand except this one.
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 2 weeks ago:
I disagree; people on the internet were a lot more helpful back then. These days it’s difficult to get people to care about anything, let alone compel them to help.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 2 weeks ago:
Edibles are actually weaker. They last longer, yes, but the stomach can’t process THC as effectively as the lungs can.
The reason why you got higher is because you don’t normally smoke/vape 200mg of THC concentrate in your sessions. That is a lot of THC; I can assure you that if you were to dab almost a quarter gram in a single session, you’d get a lot higher than you would from eating the same amount. It just wouldn’t last as long, but would be a lot more intense.
