As per the link (YouTube) in the other thread, it seems like iGPU + increased allocation of VRAM is better than using the CPU, though it also seems APUs max out at 16GB. Maybe something AMD can improve in the future then...

I run exllama on a 24GB GPU right now, just seeing what's feasible for larger models -- so an intel CPU with lots of RAM would in theory outperform an AMD iGPU with the same amount of ram allocated as VRAM? (I'm looking at APU/iGPUs solely because you can configure the amount of VRAM allocated to them.

The question is, though, would it be better than just a CPU with lots of RAM?

All the time, it doesn't happen when you sort comments by Old or New, though.

I was really confused at first (new to this community), but they seem to be asking about a FOSS mobile keyboard for Android.

Looks like it is a bug: https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/60, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

I don't know why but out of all of the alternatives I found Alexa by far the easiest to say (sorry to all the people named Alexa out there). Okay google, hey Siri, Bixby, Cortana are just hard to pronounce.

Maybe try turning steam input on or off? That's the first toggle I'd reach for with controller issues (like when Elden Ring came out).

People said this about Linux before the steam deck and well, here we are.

I posted about it here: (sorry not sure how to do a cross-post from its instance) https://lemmy.ca/post/1123689?scrollToComments=true, but SDL version 2.28 is broken for 8bitdo controllers in Xbox mode, downgrading to 2.27 fixes that.

I mean going from Unilever to CeraVe which is owned by Nestle might be a sideways move at best.

Hibernate is it's own challenge in Linux right now as lockdown mode doesn't work with hibernate (and I think a lot of distros use lockdown mode by default for security). I had to patch the kernel to enable this: https://gist.github.com/kelvie/917d456cb572325aae8e3bd94a9c1350

I've worked with both s76 and framework's support and they've been great. Community support for framework is also especially good (for Linux)

Another alternative is you can get one of those phone controllers, and stream from your desktop PC using moonlight (client) and sunshine (server).

If your home internet has okay latency it works for a lot of controller-centric games just fine.

I pay them to not get ads and not sell my data (and for higher quality searches than DDG) -- you know how they say if you're not paying, you're the product?

Given that search actually costs X, once you're cogniziant of it, you have to decide whether or not you want to pay X for a search, or find alternatives.

But the problem is that this is what it costs for a search that doesn't sell your data or advertise to you. Search is expensive.

Fortunately you do get into the habit of just searching sites directly, like wikipedia, MDN, archwiki, etc., rather than using up your general purpose searches.

It's this, or sell your data to Google for free searches.

And maybe you're right. Maybe it's just not sustainable for searched to be paid, but Kagi is really transparent about their pricing. It's just expensive unless it's subsidized by ads or data collection.

Hah. What prompted this post was I actually just discovered ventoy and was looking for more images to put on there.

It seems like it can even do a Windows one for when I need to do odd 3rd party firmware update that of course doesn't support Linux.

Depending on what you're using it for. For companies it feels like the tide is shifting toward using k8s and not caring what actually runs your containers.
