Very interesting.

Didn't think such a "dirty" method of moving from Lemmy to Piefed would work

Thanks to PCIe bifurcation, the card splits a standard x16 slot into eight lanes for the GPU and four lanes for each SSD, so neither graphics nor storage performance is compromised. Given that the PCIe bandwidth is more than enough for this GPU SKU, even an x8 lane is enough for performance to stay intact. By placing SSDs near active cooling, Colorful ensures they stay cool even under heavy workloads.

This is a very smart approach. x8 PCIe 5.0 is more than enough even for the latest GPU, you might as well put the remainder to good use.

Arch from scratch sounds like an adventure.

I enjoy front-end configuration (Win11 doesn't allow the taskbar on top, a non starter for me), for everything else around the OS/DE, I want zero adventures. I want it to be as boring as possible.

One other big issue for me is that it seems the last version of Office that works somewhat well via emulation (Codeweavers) is Microsoft Office 2013. This is ancient release and there are lot of must have features in later releases if use Word/Excel/Powerpoint in a professional capacity.

The whole post in general is a good non-polemic piece on why we should not be using ICT services from commercial American organizations (the we includes sane Americans).

We are dealing with people who are not capable of honesty.

is something I’ve never seen in any other online platform

It's not that common, but I've seen it in other forums. One example would be Somethingawful, it even has a comedic bent to it.

I am assuming the modlog concept for lemmy was taken from SA.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

I am Ukrainian. I hope the lemmy devs and all tankies get to experience russian genocidal imperialism firsthand.

Do you why this is "literally" an issue?

Agreed, PCIe 4.0 SSD temperatures seemed very high when I first built my PC.

This is why it's best to avoid any IoT devices that are dependent on the cloud (and cannot be hosted on your own infrastructure).

If you have a genuine need for IoT, then it's best to learn how it works and avoid dependency on external cloud services.

We shouldn't expect any PCIe 6.0 SSD news on the consumer end till at least the end of this decade. Even Gen5 SSDs are yet to be the mainstream success that many hoped for.

I am still on PCIe 4.0 SSD and I am often bottlenecked by the local network (still on Gigabit) and HDDs in my system (they still make more sense if you need 10+ TBs of storage).

Although for my next build, I would probably go with a PCIe 5.0 SSD.

Great timing for RealSense, Lip-Bub Tan didn't get a chance to gut them.

AFAIK, GF doesn't even have nodes below ~10 nm or so. One would think such friction is a much bigger issues on leading edge nodes. E.g. like in the case of Intel which both designs CPUs and is trying to sell fab services.

Qualcomm has historically put minimal effort into smartwatch SoCs, it's likely the margins and revenues aren't appealing for them.

I don't see this changing. Qualcomm are pretty sketchy with their PR, even by the standards of US technology companies.
