Teams still working, just tested a call as well, but Sharepoint is shot (Onedrive seems fine) , haven't tried any of the O365 applications. Do have some people that seem to have problems with Teams so maybe its hit or miss (I only know because they hopped onto webex teams since we have it as...

Teams most definitely not down for me, Outlook is. Still very quiet though, it's nice not being bugged much.

Well, I'm probably one of the few people that actually use Bing as my main search engine, but I still find this as a good thing Microsoft did. Kind of annoying it's mainly through a browser extension and not an option you can just do on the page, but just using the -ai flag is easy enough, if...

Honestly we're probably moving more to SoC stuff for future GPUs I'd imagine, I'm not sure how much longer we'll see add in cards, probably just a generation or two for consumers, if that much.

I finally tossed my WP2 on my 5090, had to do some HS swaps with my other box to get the offset D15 to make room for it, which i conveniently didn't think about when ordering. Fun little thing, definitely like it. I still run the 5090 at 80% power limit, but that's more because it makes my room...

Not currently unfortunately, I gave my 9070XT to my sister, but can help as needed or go to her place to test some stuff out as well. Oh, actually, while not a separate card and unsure how it would work, I could always give the install a go on the steam machine I suppose.

It doesn't really say it there on that overview website, but it is supported on AMD, just need to go to the github a bit more for the info. https://github.com/Niko1221/Strata/tree/main Amd specific instructions https://github.com/Niko1221/Strata/blob/main/docs/AMD_HIP.md

I'd personally echo the Openwebui + Ollama + Docling for a document engine/ocr, i have that running on a t4 as kind of a personal side thing and it works fine, I generally use gemma4:12b, gemma4:e4b or granite4.2:8b . I haven't actually used the dektop piece of Openwebui as I usually run...

I enjoyed my time with during the Steam next fest playing it, I'll probably wait a bit to buy it.

I've thought about grabbing another 9070xt as a backup for the 5090, but they are minimum like $900 now, so I doubt it. If a good deal comes around maybe, could also maybe talk myself into a Radeon AI Pro R9700 if the price is ever right, but most likely I'll just have my 3090 as a backup

Still have my BFG 8800gt, card lasted me for a long time till I got the radeon HD 6970, then I ended up using the card as a PHYSX accelerator for the computer.

Well that was unexpected, new GW1 DLC https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-guild-wars-afterlife-prepurchase-available-now/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaHUtkayKzk

I wouldn't be surprised if there is one out there for that, or if not it probably wouldn't be the worst thing to build out with a distributed architecture that's already built (probablhy wouldn't work for something like this, but something like boinc) While they were bought by HP and it's now...

Good one on the topic. SpaceX’s $2 Trillion Bet Has a Physics Problem

Saw this on Phoronix, thought it was pretty cool to see. Still in it's Alpha stage, but a nice thing to implement. https://www.phoronix.com/news/GXVK-3Dfx-Glide-Vulkan https://github.com/WinterSnowfall/d7vk/releases/tag/v2.4
