To be fair, I’m in my thirties and can’t make it through a full story without veering off and getting lost as well. ;)

It was real difficult to watch, though. As a parent, I fear for my children’s future. I’d love to bounce, but where is there to go? The US has screwed the entire planet.

I purchased both the 7900xtx and a 4090. Kept the 7900xtx. Absolutely adore this card. Being a Linux nerd made it a no brainer, but the performance vs price ratio wasn’t there.

Maybe firewalld is getting in the way. You can temporarily disable it:

sudo systemctl stop firewalld

If that doesn’t work, you can see if SELinux is the issue. Temporarily disable:

sudo setenforce 0

Be sure to re-enable SELinux:

sudo setenforce 1

That explains the consistent decline in performance. Thanks for the info.

My kids, unfortunately, love the game, so I’ve kept up with performance a little bit. It seems they’re trying their best to make it run like trash. They can’t even support the few operating systems it does run on. I haven’t noticed any mind blowing graphics updates, but fps is around a third of what it used go be. Such a garbage company.

I can’t wait till those regulations get enforced.

Tech to make day to day chores easier have had the largest impact for us. The automated self cleaning liter box for the cats, the cordless vacuum, the cordless electric mop (such as Tineco), electric lawn mowers (no maintenance), smart outlets and automations via home assistant.

Another big one is the RO water filter at the kitchen sink. No more bottled water. Bonus points if you get one that tells you when fillters need to be changed. So nice.

I don’t mean to be that American that always brings up America, but this all sounds very familiar.

You don’t want to hear about how many American football fields are in a mile?

This majority of this article is about how the US is trying to harm China.

I wish they’d add touchpad scroll speed adjustments.

Texas or too much porn?
