Aircela is targeting >50% end to end power efficiency. Since there is about 37kWh of energy in a gallon of gasoline we will require about 75kWh to make it. When we power our machines with standalone, off-grid, photovoltaic panels this will correspond to less than $1.50/gallon in energy cost.

Meanwhile, an electric vehicle could go hundreds of miles on the same amount of energy input...

If people are ostracizing you for struggling with depression, you're hanging out with the wrong people. And if you only think that's what's happening, you probably need to stop listening to your liar depression brain

At risk of oversimplifying, I think you should just post things that interest you and join discussions where you have something worth saying. Sometimes there won't be any conversation, because the fediverse is relatively small, but conversely you never know when some super niche subject will happen to be someone's interest, or their area of expertise.

Out of curiosity what were the old and new GPUs?

That's a particularly lengthy effort, even for Windows, so I'm wondering if you switched from nvidia to AMD or something major like that. Only thing I would have done differently is uninstall the old graphics driver before switching the hardware - but that is perhaps a very old expectation, so I don't know that it'd be reasonable in your case

The giant "section heading" every 5-6 sentences is odd. Did a human really write this?

Kingdom of Loathing had (has?) a basic English literacy quiz that was required before you can chat with other users. I am continually disappointed that we don't see more of that.

This meme was worse when I thought that was a poorly drawn Susie

 

I'm thinking about buying a new PC in the next month or two. I don't play a whole lot of recent games, though it'd be nice to have the option, and I think I'd probably end up with a capable GPU anyway if I want something capable of 3d rendering like Blender, and possibly fooling around with local LLMs.

Function wise, I'm thinking I want a solid CPU, and to stack it with RAM, VRAM, and storage. and I think liquid cooling might be overrated if I don't plan to OC it. It'll also likely be migrating to Linux in a year or two when Windows 10 finally dies, if there are hardware concerns with that.

Aesthetics wise, Mainly I am not too interested in having everything be RGB. I would also prefer plastic paneling over glass; my computer case hangs from a desk mount and in the unlikely event that it has a structural failure I'd like to be more worried about the computer hardware than picking shards out of my skin.

I'm not opposed to building something myself from parts, but I wouldn't mind looking at builders / pre built as an option.

 

Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money. I want to explore any realistic options for increasing my earnings before I have to resort to taking on debt, and I suspect that soliciting ideas in a semi-public place like this will turn up a lot of ideas I would never have considered myself.

I'm not very physically fit, but I am pretty good with computers generally, and I've picked up a little bit of programming in my free time this year, though I wouldn't sell myself as a freelancer in that department or anything. I am also pretty good at proofreading / nitpicking things, my regular job is in QA.

Thank you in advance for any input.
