how about my geforce 9500 for your vega 64?

I’m confused, is this the new version of the “Nobody:” meme format?

Tangentially related, but I recently stumbled upon this GitHub repository and seeing this same xkcd in their README had me giggling for like 5 minutes

“If everyone could see it”

Proceeds to show an alternate future where having seen it is apparently a status symbol, which implies that not everyone is able to see it

I guess the artist just wanted to make a “haha rich people bad” joke, but surely there are other ways to make the same joke without completely ignoring the hypothetical scenario you described literally one panel before?

Debian-based distros (and probably most othera as well) actually have a package called “intel-microcode” which gets updated fairly regularly.

I search for stuff in qBittorrent and download it directly onto my home server using the web UI. I’ve got most of my family’s devices set up to be able to access it either via an NFS or SMB mount, and then it’s just a simple matter of opening the corresponding video in VLC.

My new laptop doesn’t support S3 sleep, it can drain the battery from 100% to 0% in less than 16 hours while supposedly “sleeping”.

You don’t have to dig up the roads to fix buried power lines any more than you have to tear up your walls to replace power lines in your house: you install a conduit (basically a pipe) under the road once and if the cable somehow gets damaged and needs to be replaced you can just run new cable through the existing conduit by simply pushing it in on one end and pulling from the other.

Transformers and other non-cable equipment are typically housed aboveground in little boxes or built in to the house, so they’re actually easier to maintain than if they were installed aboveground on a pole since you don’t need a cherrypicker to access it.

Obviously in a less wealthy small town with existing overhead infrastructure it doesn’t make much sense to move it all underground “just because”, but if you’re already trenching under the road to install water/sewage/gas mains, it won’t cost much extra to throw down an additional one or two smaller conduits for running power cables or telephone/cable/fiber lines.

Traditional graphics code works by having the CPU generate a sequence of commands which are packed together and sent to the GPU to run. This extension let’s you write code which runs on the GPU to generate commands, and then execute those same commands on the GPU without involving the CPU at all.

This is a super powerful feature which makes it possible to do things which simply weren’t feasible in the traditional model. Vulkan improved on OpenGL by allowing people to build command buffers on multiple threads, and also re-use existing command buffers, but GPU pipelines are getting so wide that scenes containing many objects with different render settings are bottlenecked by the rate at which the CPU can prepare commands, not by GPU throughput. Letting the GPU generate its own commands means you can leverage the GPU’s massive parallelism for the entire render process, and can also make render state changes much cheaper.

(For anyone familiar, this is basically a more fleshed out version of NVIDIA’s proprietary NV_command_list extension for OpenGL, except that it’s in Vulkan and standardized across all GPU drivers)

Only if the old software happens to have drivers compatible with the new hardware, which it almost certainly doesn’t.

“Better” in the sense that it actually has the ability to check for corruption at all, as all metadata and data are checksummed.

Okay, but the commenter said “my laptop with jts integrated GPU”. Obviously, laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU would be affected by this change.

It specifically says the change only applies to dedicated GPUs, not integrated ones.

I had a double root canal a few months ago, no anesthesia, and literally couldn’t feel anything. The nerves on both teeth were already completely dead, there was simply no sensation at all.

Paint.NET is the only Windows-only software I really miss. The closest replacement I’ve found is Pinta, but the interface is a lot clunkier and it hangs/breaks often.

The joke was that Biden is really old.

Yes
