That's personal preference tbh. I'd pick a shit box I can fix in an evening if it ever needs it to a finicky machine that requires years of antiquated experience to work on. I never wanna touch a mechanical fuel injector or have to take half the car apart to change a pulley.

Then again I own a modern Honda with a turbo snaked through the engine bay.

Honda is a close second, I almost got the GR Corrola but my Integra has so much more space inside. I guess it makes sense seeing it's almost the size of an accord.

Get something similar but cheaper. Those things spend decades in the sands and humid cimates and they're still rolling around. That Toyota will probably outlive you and your kids if you treat it well.

They're like those Diesel powered Mercedes from the 90s but much cheaper and easier to fix.

Before anyone says it's so stupid it might work, makita beat you to the chase. It has a real heat pump (reversible refrigerator). I really want one though.

makita 18v heater cooler

Probably lost about 10% or more to heat.

And it turns out to be an ac motor in the compressor causing the fridge and the battery to short out If it stalls on a coil. The ac motor burns up with the battery. The electronic, water dispenser, and the ice maker would probably be happy assuming it's a full bridge rectifier otherwise polarity would matter but most likely wouldn't break it.

I'm not an engineer just a guess.

I'm probably not the best source for that, sorry. I've heard about this or than on sway but I haven't really been able to use sway until recently because my desktop has Nvidia. (I have a laptop now)

But I've heard Hyperland being compared to awesomewm but with fancy animations and quality of life changes you probably wouldn't find in any other wayland wm.

There's better window capture where you can focus on individual apps, there's the ability to pass hotkeys to x11 apps by adding it to the config, there's whatever the latest feature wlroots has before it is included in the release, etc..

You might be able to install it along side sway and use all the same software bar the config file. You could probably do foo -c /point/to/different/config in most apps to keep things separate and set up a script to kill xdg-portal-wlroots and start xdg-portal-hyprland. Or you could just use portal-wlroots they are almost one to one minus the screen capture tricks.

The documentation is top notch so it should be easy to get into. If your system has to be rock solid stable I'd be weary because the project moves at a breakneck speed and is largely done by one guy with help but I haven't had any issues so far. If touchegg supports sway it should support hyprland because they're both based on wlroots.

Why do you keep linking the creative commons copywrite websiter? It's not music, a movie, or a piece of art.

I've given up on whatever you're talking about because I don't think you even know what you're talking about.

Both open source drivers from Nvidia and AMD have an MIT license, so what's your point. Both firmwares are still proprietary. You have the option of Intel arc now so it's not even a duopoly anymore.

nvidia-open license

AMD driver license

Thank you, I hate it.👍

Put down the terminal and touch grass with the hippies!

I guess it is the central processing unit!

My mother still calls her desktop the CPU. Infact you could make this chart with everything inside the computer called CPU except for the ram and the hard drive and your pretty much there.

Edit: I was upgrading her graphics card and she asked "Is the CPU going to work?" The first thing I said was "what's wrong with the computer. Does it still turn on?"

Thank you for this, now I know I have 26+ registers to store stuff in as well as the system clipboard! Honestly been so busy I haven't touched my computer in over a week.

Wasn't there an issue with memory transfer latency across the connector? I thought they killed it because the latency was too high for higher frame rates causing a consistent stuttering.

They tried to reuse that enterprise connector with higher throughput but last I heard they never fully developed support for it because of a lack of interest from devs.

Have you tried window rules to make RDP automatically spawn onto a different workspace? Or you can set it to float and keep aspect ratio with window rules and maybe with minimum size so it doesn't get too small.

I haven't played with pseudo tiling, by default it's super+p I think it keeps aspect ratio and size but I haven't messed with it that much. If pseudo works you can set that as a window rules probably with size.

I think it's called manual wm, my bad. I think there's a way to define a layout for arranging the windows in a certain way. Regardless you tell it to either vertically or horizontally split the currently focused window when you spawn a new window.

There might even be a way to define how a dynamic wm extension arranged windows by creating a pattern or set of rules. When I have more free time I want to play with it on my laptop because they just don't want to bother with Nvidia like Hyperland has.

Edit: now I wanna play with window rules and find a solution to your RDP problem.

You'd be surprised it happens quite a bit, especially when your trying to help an Nvidia user with technical issues.

The problems I see people have are kinda trivial and is usually fixed by installing a package or changing a kernel parameter. Stuff you spend a few minutes researching for a half second fix. It's like saying "Apple pages unintuitive to use? Throw out your MacBook and get a PC!"

I don't like MacBooks but I'm not going to tell them to replace it.

I'm tired of people taking sides like companies give a shit about us. I wouldn't be surprised to see five comments saying something like "you shouldn't buy Nvidia AMD is open source" or "you should sell your card and get an amd card."

I'd say whatever you have is fine, it's better for the environment if you keep it for longer anyway. There are soo many people who parrot things without giving much though to an individuals situation or the complexity of a company's behavior. Every companies job is to maximize profit while minimizing loss.

Basically if everyone blindly chose AMD over Nvidia the roles would flip and AMD would start doing the things Nvidia is doing to maintain dominance, increase profit, reduce cost and Nvidia would start trying to gain more market share from AMD by opening up, becoming more consumer friendly, competitively priced

For individuals, selling your old card and buying a new AMD card for the same price will net you with a slower card in general or if you go used there is a good chance it doesn't work properly and the buyer ghosts you. I should know, I tried to get a used AMD card and it died every time I ran a GPU intensive game.

I also went the other way upgrading my mother's Nvidia card with a new AMD card that was three times as expensive as her Nvidia card ($50) would be on eBay and it runs a bit slower than her Nvidia card did. She was happy about the upgrade though because I used that Nvidia card in her movie server resulting in better live video transcoding than a cheap AMD card would.

At the very least you can use a display port to HDMI adapter!

Playing old games with Ray tracing is just as amazing as playing new games with Ray tracing. I know quake rt gets too dark to play half way through, they should have added light sources in those areas.

Then again, I played through cyberpunk 2077 at 27fps before the 2.0 update. Control was pretty good at 50fps, and I couldn't recommend portal enough at about 40fps on my 2070 super. I don't know if teardown leveraged rt cores but digital foundry said it ran better on Nvidia and I played through that game at 70fps.

I love playing with new technologies. I wish graphics card prices stayed down because rt is too heavy nowadays for my first gen RT card. I play newer games with rt off and most setting turned down because of it.
