So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • Honestly, from curiosity and messing around with stuff, playing with Crunchbang on an old Win9x PC. (this was eons ago as Crunchbang wasn't BunsenLabs yet at the time)

    Yes, really, the last time I actively ran Windows for any reasonable length of time was with Win9x, specifically 98se.

    I messed around with Win10 LTSB for a bit on a laptop (this was in 2016, so when Win10 was still new and LTSC was still called LTSB), but eventually went back to running Linux, and given Windows' current trash-fire state, I'm not touching it on my hardware outside of a VM ideally, or a dedicated burner box if a baremetal install is ever needed for anything.

  • You could still stick an NVMe drive on an older system as a secondary drive, eg. as a /home drive if you're running Linux on it, by sticking it on a riser card, although you'd still need to boot off a SATA drive, and you'd take up one of your expansion slots doing that.

  • Phoenix2 APUs like the R3 8300G and R5 8500G are the worst offenders in the 'cutting PCIe lanes' department.

    The R5 8500G only has 14 lanes, for example. The FX-8350 and 8370 from a decade earlier, would've had 32 lanes available on the 990FX chipset, and half that on the 990X and 970 chipsets per contemporary reviews from when those CPUs were new, but they were all PCIe 2 as AM3+ was a PCIe 2 platform.

    This is the specific review I'm going off of for this. FX-8350 review

    Per that review, 990FX would've supported 2 x16 or 4 x8 slots, while 990X would've supported 2 x8 slots, and 970 would've only supported a single x16 slot, but of course configs varied by the board makers, and there would've been nothing stopping someone from making a 990FX board with a single x16 slot, three x4 slots, and two x2 slots, for example, nor a 990X board with a single x16 slot or a 970 board with a single x8 slot and two x4 slots.

  • both Intel and AMD have historically been pretty bad about being stingy about PCIe lane availability

    • Hold up, I thought some of the nicer AM3+ boards using the 990FX chipset had a fair bit of lanes available both for their time and even now still. Like, the best 990FX boards on AM3+ had more expansion than the X370/470/570 boards on AM4 or the best X670/X870 boards on AM5 last time I thought.

  • Are you kidding me? AI doesn't make creative people more creative. Actually picking up a crayon or a pencil or whatever your jive is, and actively creating more, makes creative people more creative.

    Also, lol, a former Shark Tank host pushing a grift, the jokes write themselves.

    Also also, if you want to make art fast, cutting up some construction paper and playing with that is better, and more fun, than using AI by a longshot, and construction paper cutouts are the most basic form of art and one of, if not the first forms of art, that everyone in here has probably ever done.

  • Next step, modular desktops as a concept will die, probably.

    I hope people like locked-down black boxes they can't upgrade and can't run their own OS on in the future, so byebye Linux and BSD in that scenario outside of niche devices.

  • Even then, NVMe riser cards are a thing to just stick an NVMe drive in a spare PCIe slot.

  • So hardware that may still be perfectly usable but predates NVMe should be tossed out then?

    Although a counter-argument to that is aside from in extreme cases needing to boot from a SATA drive because if a board predates NVMe, it probably doesn't support booting from NVMe without a BIOS mod, is NVMe riser cards to add NVMe drives to a board which wouldn't otherwise support them, but that would of course fill up a PCIe slot.

  • Not really going to matter much when the vote is rigged anyways like it probably will be during the upcoming elections.

    For example, in my state, Independent voters are banned from the primaries, you have to be registered GOP or Democrat to vote in the primaries in Oklahoma now.

    I'd say that might come under constitutional scrutiny, but the Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead letters now.

    -sigh- If I can't feasibly leave this fascist-ass country, can I at least move to one of the Blue states which aren't complete shitholes yet?

  • Just consider that Netfliix and Co. don’t offer higher resolutions than 720p (?) on browsers that are not Edge

    • Specifically, on browsers that are not Edge on Windows. And yeah, I genuinely don't know the reasoning is behind specifically requiring Edge on Windows, when I'm sure Chrome on Windows supports the same DRM. Does Edge have some additional Windows-specific DRM on top of Widevine that's connected to TPM2 and VBS that the streaming services use for authentication or something?
