    Game discs and PS5

    It is. Generally, after the game is installed, nothing is read from the disc after verifying the correct disc has been inserted.

    Think Asrock's B650 Pro RS is about as close as you'll get:

    DIY DC-DC UPS (was: PoE Splitting?)

    Well, among household DC devices, there isn't really a standard voltage (or polarity). Sure, there are more 5v/12v devices these days, but there are still a lot at 7, 9, 14, 15, 18...my laptop had some stupid high voltage, iirc. Having one for each voltage would be stupid, but designing a...

    Do pro cards/drivers not report correctly on afterburner?

    The wx 4100 is a Polaris chip (baffin xt, specifically), The rx 460 is Polaris as well, but baffin pro. Looks like the 460 has fewer shaders/TMUs, dunno if they're physically different, if it was disabled, or if it was locked via firmware. The rx460 1024sp is baffin xt, so you might have better...

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Need the plasma-workspace-wayland package, which isn't default on kde5 I guess. I find it's a bit buggier anyway, but that may be specific to my hardware/drivers.

    Forgive me father, for I have moved to team green

    Going from an x50 to an xx70 should be a fair upgrade even in the same gen, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one !

    Anyone use or have used Cockpit? Seems like a pretty neat system management interface, might be good on a stripped down arch install. Edit: Handy article discussing installing cockpit on Archlinux.

    Need advice finding a used card for 2d.

    ASUS GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 HDMI DVI Graphics Card (GT1030-2G-CSM) https://a.co/d/dsNTKby That's about the only fanless option. Next best would be to remove, unplug, or disable/set lowest speed the fans on a higher end gpu with a good cooler and reduce the power limit -- long as your case...

    What are the most strange or weird or you-never-thought-of it-or imagined PC parts on Amazon

    This thing is pretty cool. Wish they made a 2.5" version with two or three drives, though. SilverStone Technology 3.5" to 2 x M.2 SATA and 1 x M.2 PCIE NVMe Adapter SDP12 https://a.co/d/coZXudv Edit: There's another model, also 3.5", that supports 4x sata m.2 drives.

    Whats the smart play in 2024 for multiplayer gaming over wifi (ad-hoc).......

    I think more likely you'll run into issues with games not supporting it. But assuming you play a game which supports local servers/ad-hoc discovery, and if Steam doesn't have UI for ad-hoc setup, you can access the network settings via the Network-Manager applet in the Gnome desktop like any...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    If you really believe btc is gonna drop significantly (soon), might be worth putting a few dollars toward BITI (or another inverse ETF). Just don't bet the farm on it -- those types of etfs tend to creep down constantly, and only swing up briefly when the value does crash. See also...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    For one thing, ETFs have to stop trading when the market closes, but you can still trade btc (and other crypto) during market close. crypto ETFs are also quite young, so they probably have a lot of money flowing in and out at any given time, which will affect price.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    That's because they're a corporation and they sell customer support, not the OS. They do things which make their job easier, and make it open source by the way. Sometimes those things are adopted by other communities, but often it's just something neat but weird that ubuntu has.

    Brushed Titanium PC Cases

    Much doubt. Also, Ti scratches easily, so while it'd look beautiful at first, it'd quickly become a shit-show if you aren't careful with it. Besides, Ti is expensive and requires special tooling, so more $$$.

    Hey guys, what PCI Express version is my motherboard?

    The first two slots are almost going directly to the CPU, but there's a switch inbetween. I'm not certain, but I would think if it's a pcie gen 3 switch it would limit cards to gen 3 speeds even if the CPU were capable of gen 4.

    Hey guys, what PCI Express version is my motherboard?

    If you look at the top, the bus is running at gen 3 speeds. The bottom is just what your card supports.

    USB Keyboard randomly disconnecting

    Well, the reason it acts like the key is held is because each keypress generates two events: keydown, and keyup. When the device disconnects with a key down, and reconnects after the key is up, it never receives the keyup event so windows assumes it is still being held. Did you try a new cable...

    It did the same thing on the 5th before continuing it's march upward. It's either a good time to buy or you should've sold already, but it's never too late I suppose.

    What are the most strange or weird or you-never-thought-of it-or imagined PC parts on Amazon

    Yeah, even back in 98 it was pretty solid. Transfer rates have skyrocketed, however, especially compared to serial. Still not as fast as a full pcie slot, but probably sufficient for 98% of devices.

    Any low profile Intel cards worth getting?

    Here's GN's benchmarks of the A380, should give you a general idea of performance if you have any of those games to compare with: https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/intel-arc-2024-revisit-benchmarks-a750-a770-a580-a380-updated-gpu-tests#intel-arc-rasterization-game-benchmarks

    Any low profile Intel cards worth getting?

    Yeah, the asrock is "single slot," but it's 2.5-2.75 slots wide. My Sparkle A380 is the same, had to remove the fan shroud to get it to fit in my milo 5 case next to the PSU. But it is a pretty low power gpu. If you can get sufficient airflow over the heatsink, then running without the shroud...

    Intel Arc A770m - Current state of drivers and game support for Arc in general?

    They're usually pretty capable units. The better the power delivery the less likely you'll have to fight with power related issues during a test, after all. Even more important when the hardware you are testing might have buggy drivers or be buggy itself.

    Parallel/multi-threaded race condition - can kernel tweaks help?

    Noctua NF-A12x15 flx arrived, fits with room to spare. I would install without the bracket, but really I just want it there to encourage air to up more, and I don't feel like bending the wires to fit a slim fan right now. And it puts the fan dead center of the holes in the top panel, that too...

    Which fan/pump motherboard header should I use?

    Call me old school, I use one of these, removed the power pin from the cable going to the motherboard just in case. Allows PWM to 7 fans as long as your motherboard can drive that many with it's fan controller, and power comes from the PSU so you don't have to worry about melting your...
