Picked it up, excited to try it out. :)

For linux people, if you are having troubles launching it, add the following environment variable to the game (if you are using the Heoric launcher, it’s in the game-specific settings menu under Advanced): WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b

This game looks pretty solid. Worth playing?

Exactly. Ukraine gave up land for peace in 2014. Putin said thank you and came back for more.

No, the only solution is to assist Ukraine in stopping Russia.

There are lots of places where the only impediment to additional usable water is simply building a facility to treat more water, facilities which these AI data center owners are themselves paying for (usually indirectly via a bill from the water utility). The article also doesn’t mention any reasons whatsoever why water usage is an issue. It isn’t like dehydrating crops in the Sahara will be impacted by water cooled data centers in Columbus, OH.

Can we not have the lying bots teaching people how to run a nuclear plant?

All I did for that one was search “Threadripper” and look at the pictures for ones with 4x x16 slots that were not hella expensive. There are technically filters for that, but, I don’t trust people to list their things correctly.

For which chipsets, ect to look for, check out this page. If you click on Learn More next to AM5 for example, it tells you how many PCIe lanes are on each chipset type which can give you some initial search criteria to look for. (That is what made me point out x670E as it has the most lanes, but is not newest gen, so you can find used versions.)

Yeah, adding to your post, Threadripper also has lots of PCIe lanes. Here is one that has 4 x16 slots. And, note, I am not endorsing that specific listing. I did very minimal research on that listing, just using it as an example.

Edit: Marauding_gibberish, if you need/want AM5: x670E motherboards have a good number of PCIe lanes and can be bought used now (x870E are newest gen AM5 with lots of lanes as well, but both pale compared to what you can get with Epyc or Threadripper).

Basically no GPU needs a full PCIe x16 slot to run at full speed. There are motherboards out there which will give you 3 or 4 slots of PCIe x8 electrical (x16 physical). I would look into those.

Edit: If you are willing to buy a board that supports AMD Epyc processors, you can get boards with basically as many PCIe slots as you could ever hope for. But that is almost certainly overkill for this task.

The good news is it looks like it is only the 13" systems being paused for now. And they likely can get them going again once they figure out the new tariff reqs and get the new prices integrated on the website.

Even in that scenario it will complicate the setup. Now your Roku will also have to power your TV? No, any sane setup will have a separate power cable for the TV.

The part that annoys me the most, is people will doom about huge swaths of humanity dying in the future due to climate change, then bemoan and rage against building nuclear plants today, thus solving solving a huge portion of the issue.

I just do not understand people’s priorities, or if they really believe everything they say.

Does Microsoft make Halo? Halo’s developer is owned by Microsoft, just as Xenoblade’s developer is owned by Nintendo.

Xenoblade

The Xenoblade series is made by a developer that is owned by Nintendo. If Nintendo doesn’t want people to rag on their products, they should make them better.

China is becoming an increasingly unreliable trade partner. Preventing them from completely taking over a segment is prudent.

It disturbs me that people would consider TikTok an accurate source of…anything.
