The Asus EeePC 1000H that I bought back in 2009 is a 10 inch monitor netbook. 160 GB HDD because I didn't go with SSD, only came with 1 GB of RAM and cruicially was offered in both Windows XP and Linux flavor which was a bit niche at the time.
Its 32-bit single core (hyperthreading) atom processor is very slow at 1.6GHz, but it can still be used with antiX for my usecase.
If you manage to get hold of one of these old dinosaurs, I'd probably opt for an SSD solution, that's a pretty big bottleneck.
I use an extension which bundles 5 different solutions in one called PaywallHub. I hasn't been updated for a while because it got hit by takedown notices, but the chrome extension and firefox addon repos are still available, you just have to install it a bit more manually: https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub
Maybe it's because I grew up with 60hz CRT monitors in the 90s, the ones that'd give you a headache if you sat in front of them for too long 😅 Or maybe you just get so used to 144 fps once you make the switch that it's impossible to go back.
GOW running at 40'ish fps as you say even at ultra must mean they cared to make a good game. I ought to give it a go just for the "Boy" meme.
And if you want to up your game a little, there's Jackett and/or Prowlarr, there's even an official guide on how to set up jackett to work as a search engine within qbittorrent.
There's a reason I only upgraded to a 2k monitor and not 4k, I'm not willing to sacrifice that much performance to just play at a higher resolution, 25 fps is way too low for me.
108 fps is what I play Fallout New Vegas at (to avoid physics behaving too weirdly) and I think that's fine. I think I've gone down to 90 and been somewhat ok with that, but anything below that is no bueno.
Non-fps games I'll cap lower, like 72 fps for a civilization game is perfectly fine.
But if you want beautiful games like God of War (or do you mean gears of war?) and are fine with a lower framerate, that makes sense to me.
I was thinking so as well. Mostly because of the left pupil not looking like the right pupil, but also the style. The style of shadow below the chalkboard looks like a really odd choice.
Here is how platforms die:
first, they are good to their users;
then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers;
finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.
Then, they die.
First half of my life it was completely by accident I didn't own anything nintendo, but I'm glad the second half of my life I've actively avoided it, so not a single cent has gone to those greedy motherfuckers.
If we're sharing silly useless projects, I quite like "activate linux", the configurable watermark inspired by "Activate Windows".
It's unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway.
Roughly 250 Israeli soldiers and civilians were captured by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups, in what they called Operation Al Aqsa Flood.
Israel’s response was to reactivate and unleash the Hannibal doctrine, extending it to Israeli civilians, as well as soldiers.
Fire from Israeli helicopters, drones, tanks and even ground troops was deliberately unleashed, in a failed attempt to prevent Palestinian fighters from taking live Israeli captives who would then be later exchanged for Palestinian prisoners.
Roughly 1,100 Israelis were killed. It is still unclear exactly how many of these were killed by Israelis and how many by Palestinians. One year on, an investigation by The Electronic Intifada found that at least “hundreds” were killed by Israel.
Official figures, published for the first time last month, revealed that the Israeli Air Force fired 11,000 shells, dropped more than 500 heavy one-ton bombs and launched 180 missiles “during the fighting” on 7 October.
This reminded me to install onedrive for linux. I mean, I have 105 GB of free cloud storage on my OneDrive, it'd be dumb not to take advantage of it even though I've moved from windows. CLI and systray GUI. The GUI makes it very easy to log in and setup, no need to touch a config file.
As someone fairly new to lemmy, I had to look into this drama with lemmy.world, lemmygrad and hexbear. It has definitely shed some light on who has the big stick and who likes to play police.
The good thing about an nvidia driver update is that it forces you to take a backup. And hey, I figured out how apt-file works just so I could figure out where the nvidia driver put nvidia-settings (as it forgot to put it somewhere $path could find it, and no .desktop files were made).
Talk about doombragging..
