Jpg at 70% will lose a significant amount of detail. It is a "lossy" format, you cant judt compress data for nothing.

AVIF is significantly more efficient than jpeg, so it loses less image data for higher compression (smaller file sizes).

JXL supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is supposed to be more efficient yet over AVIF. However it's got proprietary all over it because Google et al. For thst alone I would shy away from JXL and go AVIF.

Video exists showing such an event? Hurry up and link it then. No balls. Support your own argument or fuck off.

They still do. There's so much shit in Windows 10/11that could phone home and shut down your install if you don't have a valid license, but Microsoft doesn't actually give a shit if you have a license or not. They just want to make sure you have their botnet installed and not any other OS.

Sounded like you'll be lucky to get it running even on a normal Windows rig let alone via proton lol. Paradox doing Paradox things

There's no such thing as overkill, only extra overhead to do more things with. Hell, if you found yourself with a ton of excess resources and good cooling, you could run a distributed computing project like BOINC on some of the spare cores and help out some scientists.

You wouldn't see much of a bump in CPU performance, 6cores to 8 cores with a 200mhz clock speed improvement isn't ground breaking.

Going to 8gb of memory will give caching benefits.

But... That's all well and good. However. What I found the most beneficial on a OPi 5, and the entire reason I bought it over other boards, is the onboard NVME m.2 slot. Yes, the orange pi 5 can support 2230 and 2242 M.2 NVME drives at PCIe3.0x1 speeds, and it makes a WORLD of difference in performance. Like you would not even believe how fast compiling and installing software becomes when it's not bottlenecked by the ~500 iops an SD card can struggle through. SD cards are ungodly slow, and OS level writes tend to kill them every few months (they're not designed to handle that kind of work). Even the cheapest aliexpress M.2 drives, which I bought a 512gb KingSpec one for like $16, blow SD cards out of the water, and will last for YEARS with a typical pi's workload compared to the few-months of an SD card. Plus they're big enough to even do a bit of file hosting on.

Ah fuck. Hazbin Hotel is being produced by A24.

Guess we can kiss that quality goodbye.

Because in the words of GabeN, piracy (in a 1st world country at least) is a service problem and not a pricing problem. Many things are worth paying for, especially when you are supporting smaller creators, artists and indie game devs. But when heavy-handed DRM's and corporate shovelware and services that actively remove content I pay for makes it a shit experience. I'm gonna just torrent that shit, fuck 'em

Why's it always end up being fucking ads?

I hate late stage capitalism. I want off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.

Thanks, Steam Deck.

Except you've actually changed nothing. Apple forces all third party browsers on their devices to use WebKit (the Safari engine) for the backend, so really all changing browsers does is give you a reskin under Apple's thumb.

Get. Rid. Of. Their. Router.

ISP provided networking routers are inherently garbage. They don't want users messing with that, because your average user doesn't even know what the fuck an ethernet cable is and will break everything by fucking around in it.

Run your own router and put theirs into modem only mode with routing and wifi disabled. If that's not an option ask their tech support if you can buy your own DOCSIS/fiber modem (or whatever hardware you use) and return their hardware. If they also don't allow that.... well, switch or just suck it and deal with it while the ISP rubs their nipples some more.

Doing the lord's work. What a shitfest of a modlog, real winner this guy is

Edit: dear God he keeps MAKING MORE. This dude seriously needs to get a life or something

 

The high idle power bug with the chiplet RDNA3 GPU's has been plaguing AMD since the damn things were released. I, too, ended up experiencing desktop idle TBP's of 100W or more, which is absolutely ridiculous.

I discovered that in my system, it occurs in this configuration:

  • Two monitors connected- one via DP, one via HDMI.
  • The HDMI monitor is set to HDR mode in Window Display settings.

Disabling HDR, or disconnecting the second monitor, both fix the bug. Disabling HDR sucks if you have a monitor that supports it, but yknow... saving 80W when watching youtube or writing a document? Worth it.
