I gave up on waiting for sane prices and next gen cards. Just literally bought a 9070xt five minutes ago. Hope it lasts me until 2030, when prices and availability might be sane again. Even if next gen cards come out in Jan'2026, I doubt I could afford a nice one with the jacked DRAM prices.

>>107561166
People willfully forget that after RTX3080 were selling for 14-1500 euro by scalpers, prices almost didn't recover and 4080 and 5080 sell for pretty much the same price now. Sure, inflation had a bit of a hand in that, but for the average consumer that doesn't really matter - he just experiences ridiculous price bumps.

Unfortunately the beginning of having to change defaults post-install to make Windows usable.

Still, with Start8/Classic Shell it may have been the fastest windows version released to date.

So much was done after Windows 7 to improve the driver model and speed the OS up even on HDD. All this was lost again in Windows 10

Oh and I should have mentioned anon. It isn't being used widely in embedded because they lie through their teeth about platform support. If you read their propaganda they claim it supports all sorts of platforms. In reality, it can not natively compile software on anything outside of AMD64 and _some_ ARM chips. Need 16-bit/32-bit platform support? Too bad. Can't do it. Even on modern 64-bit platforms your only option is often cross-compiling and for anything that isn't AMD64/ARM its not going to work.

This excludes its use in a lot of OSs that require being able to natively build the software on the machine you're bootstapping. Projects like OpenBSD can't use Rust at all in its base system due to this. Since all supported platforms must be able to build from source.

Even Gentoo on AMD64 was forced to switch over to using a binary by default because only recent top-end machines with more than 16GB of RAM can build anything Rust based if you opt to use the source based package.

When they've (the Rust people) have been asked about this in the past their answer is always the same;
>Use our -bin LOL
In other words: You're forced to trust what we're shipping. Basically, the plan they have going forward is requiring anyone wanting to ship Rust based software to end users to have their own large server farm churning away 24/7 or renting computing resources from them. Which they are all too happy to provide for money of course.

Compare to C: Portable to just about everything and can build stuff from source on your machine in a timely manner. In return for burning all these computing resources for switching over to Rust you get a promise of "memory safety". When anyone with half a brain knows you will never be able to prevent security bugs using a compiler. It will never be a replacement for writing good code.

Now C isn't great of course and has its problems. But at least it's truly portable and allows users to build from source on their own machines.

Yes I'm aware and that's a big part of the problem too. This was not how things were before the 2000s and it should have never been allowed to happen. Both Linus and Stallman have failed us and broken all their promises. They both sold out a long time ago for money along with many other people in the so-called "FOSS community".

There were many people that fought against this and tried to prevent this from happening. All have either been anhero'd, falsely arrested on trumped up charges or gave up and fucked off forever because they saw the writing on the wall. Meanwhile, people like Linus and Stallman went along, have made 100s of millions of dollars and blew smoke up everyone's asses while allowing things like binary blobs and DRM into the kernel.

>>107565988
>Stallman
Before anyone comes along and claims I'm anti-FOSS because I pointed out Stallman is part of the problem. I will remind you that he spent years making millions in grant money while sitting in his comfy office at MIT doing nothing but making the odd blog post and ranting about shit without ever doing anything to legally back it up. He pushes a "FOSS license" (the GPL) but have you ever seen him go after any major big tech company for using GPL code for evil? The entire claim he made for working within the IP/Copyright legal system was that the GPL would become a virus and turn it against the people that would take our code and use it against us. But he did nothing of the sort and never used his influence and large yearly salary to go after these large companies that use GPL code everywhere without giving back and use it to spy on end users through various means.

Then he was very happy to go along with a manufactured scandal that boiled down to a PR campaign to kick out and deplatform many long time contributors to FOSS projects. After he'd sat in his comfy MITnigger office for decades getting rich off the grant money he was paid directly from the US Government/DoD along with many of his fellow MITNiggers.

A real idol of FOSS would have encouraged people to do the following things;
>Release your code to the public domain
>Leak any source code you have access to anonymously from big tech companies being used within closed source software
>Follow the hacker ethics laid out in the 60s-90s and never code anything that would be used for evil. Like spying on your friends and family
>If something you coded was used in such a way do everything in your power to expose it and make whomever used your code in that way pay for it

Among other things. But what do we get? Blog posts ranting about shit everyone already knows about. Stallman hasn't even wrote any code in decades now. But he's been more than happy to collect that Government grant money.

Here's the truth, Linux is absolute dogshit. But it gives you the tools to cope unlike the other options. Use those tools, install something like Arch and just learn the nuts and bolts of your system from the very beginning. You'll find all you really need is DWM and some terminals, and that it's the only viable way to use Linux on the desktop.

Agreed 4chan sux

PBT shine as well. All keycaps shine. Some PBT can shine as fast as ABS... some take longer. Depends on the mix.

Maybe, however the chemical resistance of PBT is better from the start, so I would say it is safe to assume most blends of it will be too. Plus it is semi-crystalline polymer, which usually are more resistant to solvents in general when compared to their amorphous counterparts

My GMK set started to shine in its second year of daily use,my hand oil must be very mild

>>107566432
Yea if you mix in ABS with your PBT then it shines up faster, no shit. Pure PBT takes several years to do so instead of months like ABS.

For some reason I can't blacklist the nouveau driver, despite having tried seemingly everything. Either that, or my nvidia drivers aren't working, so the system keeps using nouveau(?). Can anybody help?

How do I disable the cursor drop shadow on KDE? My custom cursor already had a prebaked drop shadow, so adding another drop shadow on top of that just makes it too dark.

>>107566358
Just add something like:

modprobe.blacklist=nouveau rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

to your grub config and re-generate it.

You need both to blacklist it properly at least this was the case when I used Nvidia years ago.

I already blacklisted it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. isn't that sufficient? Suppose not...

>>107566403
If it gets loaded in the initramfs rather than after boot then no, that's not sufficient.
