Some arm sbc computers have schematics available. Could someone with equipment for bga components and a means of making pcbs theoretically make a backdoorless one and use it to do all the illegal stuff they want?

There are open source x86s now but homebrewers are just now getting around to making barely working, not even good 386 and 486 stuff so it’ll be a long ass time before open source x86 stuff becomes more viable.

I have to throttle the fuck out of my laptop cpu and gpu to keep it from blowing itself up. This is a more effective heat and stress test than fucking prime95. I’d rather get shitty framerates at 1080p than have to buy a new laptop 6 months from now when my laptop dies from overheating like the last 2 ones I owned probably did. For fuck sake why couldn’t they have done a better job optimizing.

Most AI pics seem a tad lifeless to me

Huh. That’s what people said about Hitler’s paintings. Interesting…

This. Nintendo is one of the least ethical videogame companies out there. Even when they come up with something new and innovative, it’s so locked down you’re better off waiting to play someone else’s copycat of it.

I bet it works fine on amd gpus right now. If you’re on a 10 series Nvidia card you’re fucked. If you’re on a newer Nvidia card it’s still kind of bad though but not every protondb report involving Nvidia 3xxx or 4xxx cards is complaining about performance. I suspect there exists some kind of performance fix for later Nvidia cards that is not yet well known.

The latest driver is 537.13 I think. Most of the time they only bother to put every multiple of 5 driver version in Linux distro repositories. Someone that was familiar with how exactly the low level parts of this worked could manually get driver 537 working on Linux probably. No idea if that would work or not but I haven’t seen someone claim to have tried it yet.

It seems self hosted ai always needs at least 13gb of vram. Any gpu that has more than 12gb of vram is conveniently like $1k per gb for every gb of vram, beyond 12gb (sort of like how any boat longer than 18 feet usually costs $10k per foot for any every foot of length beyond 18ft). There are projects that do it all on cpu but still, ai gpu stuff is bullshit.

As a die hard Windows hater that games (I haven’t had Windows installed on any pc I own since 2015) all of the AAA games always get absolutely dogshit performance when they first come out. It was like that with Cyberpunk and it was like that with Hogwarts Legacy. Today, those games play just as well on Windows as on Linux. I’m sure they’ll eventually work it out

But then people wouldn’t buy $1000 graphics cards all the time which isn’t very cash money for the industry

Nintendo better not send their lawyers after this guy.
