I sold my covid 3090 for slightly more than I paid new a couple months back now. VRAM hunger is real. I fell on the very VRAM hungry creative hobbies so selling made sense.
Went with the Radeon 9070XT now as I starting using Fedora primarily and I'm staying on 1440p long term.
I've been following Intel's progress but it's enough headache learning to use linux without dealing with immature video drivers. Although in a couple more generations I'd be confident with them if Intel doesn't fumble. Their in depth driver talks with GamerNexus gave me confidence in their rapid dev progress.
We already include fsync, which should be as fast or faster as ntsync. We developed ntsync as a general solution that'd be acceptable in upstream Wine, but there's no urgency in including it in the Deck / SteamOS kernel.
Someone glimpses Dark Theme enabled Outlook with custom rules to auto sort email and suddenly you're Neo and can undo longstanding problems caused by nepo IT hires even though you're a plant operator like them with the same user privileges.
Ace covered it well enough, and I think you can find their "shelf life" using the math Hawking came up with to predict when a certain mass black hole will be fully evaporated. How accurately I'm not sure.
The actual form of the radiation emmited back into space from evaporation depends on the mass IIRC. So stellar to supermassive would show up as photons and neutrinos. As they shrink they get hotter for some reason (I'm just a layperson too) and then could emit stuff like electrons, muons, etc. Evaporation also accelerates as the black hole mass shrinks.
Not sure what happens when the black hole reaches the mass of something that's not a black hole like a Neutron Star. Does the black hole singularity explode? Don't know. That's one idea vs just shrinking until it winks out of existence.
Lower end of Earth being in the habitatal zone being just 1 billion years left. Our consumption of the easy to reach resources before them arriving to the scene, I think you're likely right.
Upper estimates are ~3 billion for habital zone, and Red Giant phase being ~5 billion years from now for factoid funsies.
I couldn't because really bad astigmatism, but after ICL surgery I could. Magic Eye is really cool, binged the greatest hits after I found out I could see them.
Food is food. After a night shift I'm having dinner and will BBQ at 6 AM. I do get weird looks from neighbors, but that's just fun.
