Until my medication runs out. :(

Manos: The Hands of Fate

I’ve seen it mentioned many times that it’s the worst movie ever, I think it got a 1.7 on IMDB.

Telodzrum, in What does this icon mean?

It’s the old Atlanta Hawks logo.

JustZ, (edited ) in Would you say enthusiast grade or business grade products are better quality?

Business model or commercial model?

Business computing such as word processing and spreadsheets, database software, requires very little processing power. So you’re making an apples to oranges comparison.

For apples to apples, check the specs on pro stuff for yourself: www.amd.com/en/graphics/workstations

The pro stuff is essentially double the processing power, and double the price. The difference is in process threading and number of cores. Rendering huge video and CAD projects, for example, would take forever on a gaming rig, because that kind of rendering software is optimized for threading, game processes are not usually optimized or not as optimized. For example, there are some games that will only use one core of even a dual core processor.

I’m sure someone that knows much more about this stuff will correct any errors in terminology. Anyway, that’s my take on the question.

Initially I thought, well, what graphics processors do they have inside commercial gaming systems, such as a high-end training, flight simulator, or racing simulator. They use the RTX 30 and 40 series.

Generally, hobbyist and consumer grade products are not meant to be used 40 hours a week, such as commercial products are. It’s easy to see huge differences in these sort of products on things like lawn mowers, refrigeration. Even in televisions. Your television in your home is likely not meant to operate 365 days a year like the ones you find in a hotel lobby or airport. They just have higher quality components and engineering, designed to withstand long-term, high volume use. They use better glue.

Those workstation GPUs are also usually not very good for gaming, for the same reasons. Optimized for the professional use case and not the enthusiast one.

Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

B&W, german production, bad dubbing, 10 girls 1 guy, Stanley Kubrick’s cinematographer, uranium, exploitation flick, plane crash, plenty of WTF, island, oh and some spiders.

Step into bizzaro world.

A few versions on archive.org. Apparently the restored one includes the original German adult content that was cut for the 1962 rerelease.

backhdlp, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

A common one is # or + while trying to hit Enter. Also annoying is Caps Lock instead of Shift.

Krudler,

First thing I do with every new keyboard, at home or at work, is literally remove the CAPS LOCK key and throw it in the garbage.

Yes I know that there is software solutions, but it’s just easier this way, especially when I don’t necessarily have admin privileges

    “That” and “green flag” in this instance are implicitly referring to the act of having a particular person as a role model, not the role model itself.

    English is stupid.

    Reserve your ire for the abuse heaped upon “unique”, fellow pedant.

    Unique means one-of-a-kind. I die a little more inside every time I see someone slaughter it with “very unique” or “most unique”.

    tallwookie, in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza

    oh Israel will do it. there’s probably enough space there for 5 or 6 settlements. over time it will grow, organically, into a thriving city full of happy and productive citizens, far from the den of squalor and poverty that it is now.

    tallwookie, in How is your part of the world doing?

    cant speak for the greater country but my part of it is pretty good though not so much for me personally. America, PNW.

    there’s a lot more jobs here - mid 1980s was when the tech boom hit our area, but real estate prices are very high as well, ~$600k for the area, ~$800k for where I live. it’s basically unaffordable to live here unless you make 6 figures - anything less than that is struggling.

    I’m working on a van build so I can move to a more favorable state as I do not make anywhere near 6 figures. got about $40k in it now and probably another $25k to go, roughly.

    zeroxmr, in How is your part of the world doing?

    Too young to know definitely, but America has lots of room for improvement. Least freedom for everyone I’ve ever witnessed rn

    AtmaJnana, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

    I use Nextcloud to sync them from my phone/laptop/pc to my server then sync to my NAS, then monthly backup to a hard drive, which i rotate out off-site. In progress switching this to another NAS I store off site.

    corroded, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

    Everything gets backed up to a Nextcloud instance running on my main Proxmox hypervisor. Every 24 hours, each VM gets backed up to my NAS. In addition, my Nextcloud VM runs a script every night to upload its entire database to Backblaze.

    Robot Monster is the epitome of a 50’s low budget B-class horror movie.

    worf, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

    It's a bit overkill but I use Google Photos + iCloud + Local backup to an external HD + Backblaze cloud backup of said backup drive.
