- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 days ago:
No. That’s G-SYNC compatible, G-SYNC monitors require an “NVIDIA G-SYNC processor”.

They are not the same thing. GSYNC requires the monitor to be embedded with an NVIDIA controller.

Surely judges will rule against the police on every case that involved one of the missing recordings.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 week ago:
The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 week ago:
Yes. That’s why cryptocurrencies won’t work in a physical store because the customer would have to stay in store for several minutes until the merchant can release the product.
But this is not an issue for online marketplaces like Steam. Customers should be willing to wait 10-20 minutes to get their video game key, or for Amazon to start processing a delivery. Faster cryptocurrencies like Litecoin actually take around 3 minutes to confirm transactions. Mullvad’s model is pretty good, where your account doesn’t get updated until the transaction is confirmed.
It sounds like a good compromise, unless dealing with payment processor policies is not as bad as they make it sound.

Your debit card transaction does not happen in seconds, it actually takes days to complete.

If they claim it’s dead every year they’re bound to get it right.
- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 3 weeks ago:
If your PC doesn’t support Windows 11 then it makes sense to switch to Linux. But staying on an EOL OS when you could upgrade is plain stupid.

The only way AI wipes out humanity is if they put it in the control system for nuclear bombs, hallucinate (as usual), and blow everything up. Not due to some “eliminate all humans” mentality or whatever they’re implying in that website.

- Comment on Matrix is cooked 2 months ago:
Today I learned that VC funded companies are not allowed to invest in open source projects. Matrix would be nowhere near its current state if it wasn’t thanks to Element. It’s not the best, but it’s far from “cooked”.

- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 3 months ago:
You can allow guest accounts, although it’s disabled by default in synapse.
Call supports depends on the client you’re using. Element is usually ahead in features implementation, but you can get a list of clients and filter by features in the matrix website.
Also I’m not sure what the other person meant by easy to setup. Matrix servers are notoriously hard to setup when compared to anything most things you would find yourself selfhosting, specially with WebRTC/TURN. I think there’s an ansible playbook somewhere, but I never tried it.

- Comment on Framework ships RISC-V board for its 13" laptops along with "boardless" laptop chassis. 6 months ago:
You could make an ATX form factor ARM or RISC-V machine with a lot of processing power and run Linux on it, but who would buy it and for what? That question is why no one makes such a thing.
The same people who buy ATX form factor x86? The only thing making these platforms different is software support, which is getting better for RISC-V everyday. You wouldn’t buy a RISC-V computer today for high performance gaming or scientific computing, but it definitely works as a general purpose machine (web browsing, office apps, watching videos, etc.) This year shouldn’t see much progress in hardware since RVA23 just came out (maybe some RVA22 + V), but you can expect some nice things to come out 2026-2027 since now you have all you need to build a competent RISC-V CPU.

You are complaining about the photo monitoring functionality, which happens 100% on device. You can confirm this very easily by monitoring the app’s network activity when you receive an image. Android System SafetyCore does a lot more things than photo monitoring, one of which is providing emergency location data (ELS). This is required by law in the EU, India, and the USA.

Is there even an inkling of a plan to go from “dev kit” to “widely available consumer product?”
It’s not a dev kit, it’s meant to be a regular PC with upgradable storage, RAM, and PCIe slot for $120. Milk-V and other RISC-V companies already have widely available consumer products (Milk-V Mars, Banana Pi, etc.), they’re just usually SBCs because that’s what’s easiest to produce and RISC-V is early in development. Remember that the first standard with Vector instructions just came out a few months ago (RVA23), and there’s no point in trying to seriously compete with X86/ARM PCs until you have that.
Even a lot of x86 devices are going to the soldered everything approach.
That right there tells you this is not a RISC-V/ARM problem. It’s just that everyone knows on-SOC memory performs better than DIMM, and manufacturers are starting to offer these to compete with Apple M chips.

The app doesn’t connect to the internet, so it’s not that big of a deal. I guess that could change in the future though.

Milk-V Oasis Mini ITX board was going to have replaceable RAM, M.2 slot for SSD, and 4x SATA slots. The only reason it didn’t release was because of Sophgo sanctions (They make the SG2380 which was the Oasis was based on)
- Comment on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl | Review Thread 9 months ago:
I honestly cannot trust game reviewers after seeing some of the reviews for this exceptional game
I don’t understand your point. Do you want them to ignore the bugs and performance issues? Would you be happier if the reviews lied to you and said the game was perfect? If they took that route, I guarantee you’d be complaining about that as well.
where the fuck was that when Starfield came out?
“They didn’t complain about that game, so they shouldn’t complain about any game ever!”

Unironically, the Apple USB-C DAC is the best you can buy for that price. You’d have to go for something double or triple its price to get the same performance from any other dongle, specially at that size.
