It’s not the only resistance to authority I’ve ever encountered, but it sure is the dumbest.

I’ve bought an EasySMX X20 and will never buy anything else

You can check the spot price of GDDR6 it’s nit that expensive. Also valve most likely secured their supply contract and final specs a while ago.

There is no excuses for this.

They really dropped the ball with only 8gb vram, it’s not like GDDR is expensive.

As a deck owner, it’s not that powerful, you’re never going to drive it at full settings on most modern games, so the size of the vram does not matter all that much.

Also, the GPU already does the cache work itself if the vram is full anyway, and GDDR is much faster than regular DDR, which is why you see stuttering on 8gb GPUs when texture resolution is pushing the limits.

With the spot price if GDDR6 modules it’s frankly disappointing to only see 8gb.

Plus, add in the fact that FSR/DLSS models take up valuable vram size to work for framegen and stuff, it reduces even more the availability for actual data.

Use Bazzite, or ChimeraOS if you do’nt care about desktop mode

Bulk pricings has increased sure, but not to the extent consumer price did. Capitalism, ho!

How much jank are you willing to deal with?

I’m a bit concerned about the vram situation. 8Gb is not a lot nowadays, particularly if you start adding stuff like ai framegen and stuff which these types of machines tend to need further down the line.

An extra 8gb wouldn’t have killed the profit margins.

I need a controller that can tell how hard I am mashing the buttons and games reacting appropriately.

I grow whichever plants I want, which includes hot peppers, yes.

But also zucchini and rhubarb and strawberries and cherry tomatoes and…

I’d rather find toilets but when cities decide to remove them, all that’s left is walls.

Cities: “ugh, toilets are so expensive to maintain. Remove them.”

Cities: “everything smells like piss now :(”

If there is no toilets available, a wall or a bush does the trick just fine. I ain’t going to rupture my fucking bladder because some bean counter decided to count beans.

Because fuck you.

• middle management.

In general, one should not look at what happens in the USA and use it as a basis of reality for the rest of the world.

Weird ass country full of whackjobs who dedicate their entire lives into finding the worst possible solutions to problems nobody else but them have created for themselves.

“If it’s not an issue, how come we haven’t built a thing to solve it”

France’s 80 years of nuclear waste takes about the space of an Olympic swimming pool and half.

In a millena, it’ll be 150 swimming pools, and that’s assuming we haven’t found a way to repair/reuse/recycle it in 1000 years. Or not decided to just yeet it on the nearest inhospitable planet via railcannon or something.

Nuclear waste is a non issue.

I guess it also depends if you consider different lettuce/cabbage varieties as different plants. Which I guess is the point of the discussion! so fair. I also dind’t really think about stuff like soy sauce and oils as plants but I guess they are

Depends if you count spices I guess but most people only consume like a handful of different veggies all year long

It’s true you don’t own a selfish acre of perfectly farmable land instead you only survive because someone else is feeding you factory farmed, pesticide flavored, expensive monoculture food from their own acres moved into the city by the truckload :D so much better for the planet I agree :D :D
