Report: Apple May Stop Producing Current Gen Vision Pro by the End of 2024
  • What innovation did they have? They too existing tech, made it fancy looking, and slapped an unobtainable price tag to it.

    If you have ever used a HoloLens 2 or a standalone VR headset, you’ll find what Apple did is nothing new.

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?
  • I can tell you that its behaviour matches the exact reported behaviour on the higher end chips. I updated the motherboard the moment my manufacturer released it. RMA it to get yet another faulty chip? Considering Intel will charge me shipping and a restocking fee? Nah.

  • What model do you use in your GPT4all?
  • Moistral is the name of the model. I do recommend it

  • Would you guys recommend getting a subscription for GPT o1 or Poe?
  • I’m sure there’s an uncensored llama somewhere but the ones I’ve tried weren’t truly uncensored.

    In terms of performance what it just means is that if I ask it something mildly sexual or inappropriate, it will answer it without giving an “as an ai language model, I can’t do…” speech.

  • Would you guys recommend getting a subscription for GPT o1 or Poe?
  • Llama is a solid choice. Or mistral. I use moistral which was made for porn but it’s pretty uncensored in general. Doesn’t have qualms about ethics or illegalities.

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?
  • My i5 13600 had this issue. I thought I was safe. It barely boots up now. I wasn’t even running it 24/7. Like maybe 1- hours per day for 3 months.

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?
  • I’ve been an intel boy since I first started building computers in 2014.

    Buy an AMD.

  • I have it on my bedroom wall.

  • Moistral.

    It has no qualms throwing ethics and legality to the wind :)

  • Dragons Dogma 2's performance dips were caused by the most relatable problem yet: NPCs who think too hard
  • Baldurs Gate 3 had a similar issue that they had to fix. Performance by Act 3 would be super bad and things would load very slowly or crash. Turns out it was due to all the NPCs judging every single crime you’ve committed over your entire playthrough.

    I thought it was really neat.

  • This gives Pajama Sam vibes

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • Agreed. I had no idea there was a possible third option outside of Firefox and chromium based browsers. We need competition.

    I just hope whatever they’re building works with all the webforms. I found once that a webform wouldn’t load on Firefox (some store’s checkout). I had to switch to chrome to check out.

  • You can look at it because it’s not available to use until 2026 according to their site.

  • What's your prediction for the 2024 US election?
  • Before all ballots are counted, Trump declares himself a winner and starts sounding the alarm about illegitimate counts. Trump then contests battleground states and has enough alternate electors that the final score gets escalated to the Supreme Court, who grants Trump the win while they “figure it all out”. They declare widespread “issues” with the election and localized protests ensue. Trump declares martial law and tells the police to “be tough”. Several injuries and deaths set more riots and protests. Trump orders the national guard to help with crowd control. An overzealous soldier opens with live fire on the crowd, killing several due to stampedes and general chaos.

    Trump blames chaos on Democrats and claims illegal immigrants were behind the violence, begins his mass deportation exercise. Numerous non immigrants are rounded up “as sympathizers” and taken to holding facilities in Texas and several other border states where they are held indefinitely without trial.

    Trump creates a tip line to report “illegal aliens” and people start reporting their neighbours and anyone else they find “suspicious”. People are always keeping their eyes out and keeping their lives to themselves out of fear they may be reported.

    Trump and his regime create a committee to oversee and overhaul elections “due to all that bad corruption” and suggests a moratorium on elections until “they figure it out”.

    They don’t ever figure it out.

  • AT&T tries to defend why it shouldn't let you unlock your phone sooner
  • Same! Except it was Koodo. Told me that they were “exempt” from the ruling.

  • Oh... I don't think there's a word for it...
  • Cowgirl.

    She came prepared, she took control and told me this was a hands off experience. I didn’t need to do anything myself. I just had sex and it was cool.

  • Okay buddy ya wanna get specific? Let’s get specific. Sea creatures are made up of protons and neutrons. So was Hitler. Coincidence??? Checkmate? Nah we aren’t done yet buddy.

    What are protons and neutrons made up of? Quarks! You know what else is made up of quarks? My average sized penis.

    Do you think my penis is considered safe? What about sea creatures? I think you have a lot of research work to do in physics and polymers.

  • Not the case for everyone. I’m regularly throttled watching a long 4k movie on Netflix or trying to download a big game from Steam.

  • Has anybody had a root canal?

    I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.

    I’ve never even had a cavity before. I’m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.

    How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(

    How do you get over the fact that not everyone will like you?

    It’s obvious and you would be deluded into thinking everyone you interact with likes you.

    But how do you feel it?

    Context: I’m a course instructor and I get direct reviews on my lessons and around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.

    There’s less than 5% of my reviews that have real negative and non-constructive comments. Things like accusations of being incompetent or unprepared or full of shit, etc. They mention times I had technical difficulties or made a mistake (like giving an incorrect response)

    Just by the numbers alone this is a very small minority overall. Yet these comments stick in my head and make me doubt my abilities.

    So what are your strategies or ways you drown out this stuff?

    Switch from Ubuntu to something immutable?

    Sup penguin people.

    I’ve been running various flavours and variations of Ubuntu for a while. I find I have to nuke and reset my laptop every 6ish months because things eventually stop working or I get weird bugs.

    Recently I’ve been having this on and off problem where the computer just shows a black screen after turning it on. The only way to fix this is to tap keys repeatedly until a console shows up and it seems to kick the computer into gear and log in. Other times I have to restart 2-3 times before it logs me in.

    I’ve had a lot of small issues like that (like having to jiggle the volume knob in the sound mixer to get sound working) and I’m wondering if switching to an immutable distro (like bazzite) would solve this apparent config creep.

    I have a Steamdeck and it’s been solid and stable ever since I got it. I know it’s running an immutable distro and after researching a little bit it sounds like they can be more stable.

    I’m no power user but I play some steam games and run a local 7b LLM and like to have a virtual machine or two for Windows XP emulation for some retro gaming.

    Anyone have any opinions? What are your thoughts on immutable distros (like Bazzite)? Pros? Cons? Success/doom stories?

    Edit: I’m back baby. 4 months later and still kicking it with Bazzite. Go immutable if you’re a former windows person and needs a computer to just work the way you’d expect without any configuration. I’m running all my steam games and plugging into my usb c dock for mouse keyboard webcam and 2 1080p monitor. I could never get that working on other distros. The future is immutable 🙌

    Switching from GNOME to Plasma 6 on Ubuntu - what makes the most sense?

    Hi all!

    I have a laptop running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and I want to switch to KDE Plasma 6.

    How should I change over and why?

    Option 1: Install KDE Plasma 6 alongside GNOME

    Option 2: Backup and fresh install KDE Neon.

    Can’t log into my Nextcloud

    Hi all!

    I’ve had Nextcloud installed on Docker and it has been working for a while until now.

    I had to change my server from wifi to Ethernet and gave it a new static IP. I also uninstalled docker and reinstalled it so I’d be starting fresh.

    I have Nextcloud working and when I go to localhost:8070, Nextcloud works properly. When I use another device connected to the same network by wifi, it doesn’t work.

    I made sure the config.php file has the server’s static IP address listed in the trusted domains category.

    This used to work before but now after hours of troubleshooting, I’m all out of ideas and frustrated 😩 Any help is appreciated.

    EDIT: My wife to stroll by and casually was all “did you check Windows Firewall?” and lo and behold, Windows Firewall chose today to block private connections on Docker Desktop backend -_-

    Once I enabled it everything worked perfectly. Leaving this up here in case someone else stumbles upon this exact issue.

    KDE in high res screen with Wayland?

    I’m running KDE Wayland session on a Surface Pro 6 and the UI is much too small.

    I changed the UI scale in System Settings which works for all my apps except for the system text (panels, menus, Dolphin). The text in my system UI is super blurry.

    I’ve done a bit of research and it looks like Wayland may not support fractional scaling properly, but I’m finding conflicting info on this.

    At this time, is it possible to run a Wayland session in KDE with 150-200% UI scaling?

    I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window

    Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.

    I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.

    I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.
