- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 1 week ago:
Creative labs made shit audio chips, at least post isa, they never figured out pci at all. Haven’t forgiven them for killing aureal either.
Turtle beach was quality, but overpriced and they completely focused on the pro market after a while, ignoring gaming.
Realtek makes garbage, I always bypass it with a good USB DAC (fiio usually) because the mobo manufacturers always route lines so it buzzed when the GPU started using power.
You are right that they killed the market, but only for people who don’t care, and you can pick up a banging used mellanox for cheap that gives you excellent sriov.

If only they were also monsters of incrementing the pcie device id when their chip revision breaks compatibility.
So you don’t spend forever trying to Google on your phone or other laptop that you have to pull and rebuild the latest kernel, without an internet connection, because only that one knows that revision K needs power management set before the link will come up.
- Comment on Fire Warrior (2003): Warhammer’s First Dip into FPS 1 week ago:
I’m sorry, but it was so un-wh40k.
I think they tried, but the soul was not there at all, you were basically doomguy with a different gun.
- Comment on Pocket shutting down 1 week ago:
It also means Firefox loses another revenue stream (that nobody ever used) keeping it going.
- Comment on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Delivers Best Performance On Linux Over Windows 11 - Even With Gaming 2 weeks ago:
No!
I have a framework, and it’s fine (upgradability is nice), but the desktop has fixed dram (guessing they’re mated to the cpu for more bandwidth) but no thank you
- Comment on There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic. 2 weeks ago:
That’s not why the left should be concerned.
This was 1 k-hole induced event by a moron.
Which is why it was done so badly and so blindingly obvious.
The next Gen of LLMs WILL be sanitized politically, they will make deepseek look neutral.
And they will slowly (or actually quite quickly) take over larger and larger parts of our world.
This is neo-feudalism, people, and we aren’t even the Gentry anymore, now we’re clawing to hold on to being serfs.
- Comment on Nvidia seeks Shanghai R&D site after US chip curbs, say sources 2 weeks ago:
I mean… At that point why don’t you just give them access to your git repo and verilog?
- Comment on Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds 2 weeks ago:
Great, except teams still need consensus, otherwise they’re more of a mob.
- Comment on Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds 2 weeks ago:
My bad, post-sarcastic world.
- Comment on Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds 2 weeks ago:
It’s also a way to manufacture dissent and foster division.
- Comment on Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds 2 weeks ago:
Omg no it isn’t!
This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.
Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.
- Comment on Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates 2 weeks ago:
Vvc is h266, the spec is ready it’s just not in a lot of hardware, or even decent software yet, that often takes a few years.
Av1 isn’t much better than hevc (h265), it’s just open and patent free and Google is pushing it like crazy.
It has iirc 1 major feature over hevc, non-square subpictures, beyond that it has some extensions for animation and slideshows basically.
- Comment on OpenBSD 7.7 released with updated hardware support, 9Front ships second update of 2025 2 weeks ago:
Yay a new 9front.
But I’d like to see a Linux compat layer, which should be possible between syscall intercepts and a glibc build.
Source first, of course, but then maybe binary, sockets are easy to wrap, the rest should be even easier.
Running a Linux chroot under plan9 like I run lxc containers or BSD Jails now would be awesome.
- Comment on Market Structure Rules for Crypto Could End Up Governing Core of U.S. Finance: Le 3 weeks ago:
This has nothing to do with that.
Crypto has only 1 purpose:
To free the rich from all national obligations and make them truly independent international powers, above all laws and taxes, because their money is an independent entity beyond the reach of anyone.
- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 3 weeks ago:
I know people who actually do contribute positive changes to the world.
They don’t sound like you.
You’re a keyboard warrior trying to spin narrative such that a hegelian dielectic becomes an all consuming manichaean .
If you ever actually read Marx, you clearly never understood it.
- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 3 weeks ago:
Not calling you crazy.
I’m calling you someone with serious emotional issues.

This is what happens when your country skimps on mental health care.

Might need recapping, think vblank and blank are drifting.
- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 3 weeks ago:
Jesus christ, it’s like you read the headline and desperately wanted to provide supporting evidence.
Next time? Just for like 1 second?
Imagine that other people don’t give a shit about you blasting your toxicity at the world. Maybe the world would actually be a better place if assholes like you shut up some times.
BTW, this has absolutely nothing to do with trans rights, this is just you personally acting like every other .ml out there.
- Comment on Skype was shut down for good today 4 weeks ago:
Microsoft has 1 massive disadvantage when it tries to enter new markets.
It has to deal with brutal cutthroat competition from its worst enemy: Microsoft.
Ms internal politics destroy almost all its successes, their politics are why theyve never really been a threat, for every skype there’s a teams which cuts them off at the knees lest it cost a division head their chance at a promotion.

it’s probably going to be so bent out of shape that it’ll be incapable of telling anything remotely truthful.
Mission accomplished for them.

- Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 4 weeks ago:
Meh, it’s going.
I might do the rest at once, it’s about setting up a link between the two first (wireguard etc), then bringing servers over and up.
What terrifies me is trying to move my monitors, those are massive and beautiful with 0 room for error.
Used metal carriers with foam inserts for storage, but the balance is still back home.
Fiber in Europe is glorious, so that helps.
- Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 4 weeks ago:
Trying to move my fully populated 42u rack to Europe.
So far been doing it piecemeal, but that will have to accelerate at some point.

Nvidia, when the doom music kicked in.
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 4 weeks ago:
Seriously, gimp is barely usable for anything, they need to put the damn thing our of our misery.
And it spawned gtk, which is yet another monument to software masochism.
Will give krita a shot, this shouldn’t be that hard.

I honestly never played Dune, just Dune 2 which was awesome.
Ultima underworld, that was the shit.
