Funny enough, for local downloads of video game OSTs (which I like way too much), I’ve been recently turning to Steam of all things. Often cheaper than Bandcamp and DRM-free!

• Can do stuff that isn’t just for gaming or content consumption

Vulnerabilities are flaws in software that may allow an attacker to gain control of or eavesdrop a system.

They are categorized into low, medium, and high severities based on how easy it is to exploit the vulnerability and how much damage a successful attack utilizing that vulnerability would do.

I’m not the type to run super intensive games, and even those games have plenty of warm up time in the form of a loading screen.

That being said, I have had instances of my entire system shutting down due to a graphically intensive game, but it’s much rarer than when running a local LLM.

How do I do that?

So the system is a gaming laptop which might explain things. The CPU has liquid metal for cooling and a lower TDP so it’s fine. Whereas the GPU has a higher TGP and if ran hard draws like 120W. If the GPU fans are not already on this quickly overwhelming the GPU thermally.

I have a memory consumption issue with Ubuntu, because I stupidly set up the system to have 0 swap. This means under high memory pressure, the entire system could suddenly crash.

To be fair, Windows isn’t a shining beacon either because whenever I attempt something very GPU intensive like running local LLMs the GPU overheats in a split second before the fans have time to spin up and the entire system shuts down.

Wait, this isn’t satire?

The download link returns a 404, is it already down?

Definitely boycott paying real money for lootboxes or games with real money lootboxes.

If you’re not paying, then it’s just a factor to consider, the companies won’t care about you much

FedEx if you only need to print once in a blue moon…

Not to mention, for a naturally aspirated IC engine, you actually make more power in cold weather due to it being more thermodynamically efficient with a colder intake. (This is the reason why an intercooler increases the power output of a tuner car.)

Pro-developer never needs to be anti-consumer. They are staunchly both right now.

When was the last time you used it?

Also use Heroic launcher to bypass the bloat.

I’m gonna have to agree. It used to be about the most slow and bloated thing in existence, but they actually fixed a lot of performance issues last time I checked. It’s still slow, but in the same time period Steam on Windows decided to add a pointless splash screen increasing the load time by 4x, letting Epic take the W by a wide margin in load times, while responsiveness is a draw.

Yes, I know that Steam is more feature complete and consumer friendly which is why I still prefer to buy from Steam when possible.

Does this version of Windows 11 feel as snappy as normal Windows 10? And do the fans randomly flare up like on my installation of normal Windows 11?

We had most of this with Windows 7 and probably XP as well. Those used a fraction of the RAM, disk space, and CPU time for largely the same effect as today.

$259/mo??? I expected the price of a couple streaming services, but this is more like car payment territory.

2024: What are you doing with 16GB RAM and 300% CPU at 5.4GHz?

I just want real Pokemon battles and an easier way to sort by appraisal.
