    My 2018 Linux Test

    To be fair he has a point. I was mistakenly meaning the old Beginner's Guide, not the old Install guide. That said, note the differences between the old beginner's guide: https://web.archive.org/web/20100706145738/http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide And the present beginner's...

    My 2018 Linux Test

    This is an absolutely accurate explanation of why it is a pain in the hole to get help from the Arch community. There's a Linux server on discord that is run by one of the worst human beings I've ever encountered in my entire life. Now frankly that's reason enough to stay away from that server...

    My 2018 Linux Test

    Arch is a pain to maintain simply because there's not really any idea of a "known good" configuration shared by most users. Everything in Arch is customisable and they expect users to have customised it, potentially heavily. As a result, if they push a broken package, it's a lot less simple to...

    AdoredTV Analyzes AMD Engineering Sample Benchmarks

    I honestly find his accent perfectly simple to understand. If you can't grok it, the problem is you, not AdoredTV, and he's under no obligation to change it for the sake of your faulty hearing.

    My 2018 Linux Test

    I assumed with the thread being this old, you'd already have gone far past this point. I've used Rufus for everything for years at this point, including creating windows USBs. With a USB3 stick it takes a matter of a few minutes to completely recreate your install media if for some reason you...

    My 2018 Linux Test

    Manjaro is generally looked down on by most Arch users as Arch derivatives tend to, frankly, be far more broken. Arch is one of those things where if you're going to do it, you may as well do it properly. Manjaro and AntergOS are popular but as far as I can tell, they mostly form a diving...

    Final Fantasy 7 Textures Upscaled With a Neural Network

    The vast majority of NPCs also don't have battle models, so I contend that Cactusj's request is still very much satisfied by the mods :P

    Final Fantasy 7 Textures Upscaled With a Neural Network

    There have been mods to do this exact thing for years.

    No. Absolute and total horseshit.

    Influence Buying Comes Under Fire

    Did...some of you miss the actual words of the article or something? They're not cutting their ties with influencers. They're cutting their ties with any influencers that *buy* their followers - IE, people who pay money to shady characters on twitter and twitch in order to have a bunch of...

    DOTA Announces "DOTA Plus"

    Yeah, for anyone familiar with Dota this will be a non-issue. The learning curve of the game is colossal, and there are already public hero guides, the main flaw of which is how outdated they quickly become. Things like last hitting, creep aggro, proper farming in the jungle, controlling meepo...

    High-end Smartphones Killing Off High-end Smartphones

    Yeah, see, you chose to argue the utility of a $1000 device. I saw flaws in your arguments and stated so. Now you are relying on this asinine argument that because you made (or attempted to defend) a stupid decision, I am somehow obligated not to judge you for it. The world doesn't work...

    High-end Smartphones Killing Off High-end Smartphones

    So what you're saying is that you have absolutely no good reason to spend that money on something that gives you absolutely no tangible benefit but you're also so invested in continuing to do so and tell other people about it that you'll have extended arguments about it on the internet. You're...

    High-end Smartphones Killing Off High-end Smartphones

    I mean, why are you even mad that you don't have a better way to waste £800, than to buy a phone five times more expensive than is required to do any of the things you do? Do you genuinely not have any better reason to own the thing than this?

    High-end Smartphones Killing Off High-end Smartphones

    Again, my £200 Z3 fits this description perfectly. Why do you WANT to spend 800 extra to obtain the same capability?

    High-end Smartphones Killing Off High-end Smartphones

    My Z3 can and has done all of these. It's still capable of all of them. Literally all. If this is the best you can come up with to justify paying £1000 for a phone in 2018, then really you're making everyone else's argument for them - You can buy a Z3 or an equivalent current-model, midrange...

    Twitch is Watching You Even When You're Not on Twitch

    This is a non-story. All this means is that before, Twitch didn't have explicit guidelines about moderating a user that was, say, stream-sniping and talking about it on twitter. They had to rely on information within twitch. Now, if someone is doing something that breaks twitch rules, but...

    France Does Not Want You Texting And Driving, Or Parking

    Then I guess it's a good thing that literally the first post in this thread clearly states: "Translated: According to the Court, it is therefore not enough to stop and shut down the engine to make sure that you can call the phone in your hand. You really have to park your car on a planned...

    France Does Not Want You Texting And Driving, Or Parking

    "According to the Court, it is therefore not enough to stop and shut down the engine to make sure that you can call the phone in your hand. You really have to park your car on a planned location. Judges, however, make an exception: a motorist who sees his car fail in the lane, can use his mobile...

    help me understand hard drive speeds, 2 hard drives

    Yeah, the only person wrong here is OP. For a SATA 1 link, some extremely high end mechanical hard drives can move data from the platters at a rate of more than 150MB/s. At that point, the 150MB/s speed limit of a SATA 1 link becomes a bottleneck in performance. A SATA 2 link has a higher...

    Smart Stupid People Click Phishing Links

    Stop being so obtuse. If the convenience of not having to think about it is there, someone will take convenience over safety at some point, no matter how informed they are about what's actually safe and proper to do. Smart users will do it just as much as stupid ones if they're busy enough...

    Crypto and gpu price going back

    So what you're saying is that you accept Free Market fucks over the majority, you just want to keep you and yours safe from that. Also, Noko, you are clearly, cleary unable to deal with reality. The reason there are shortages is because every manufacturer sees miners as a short term customer...

    help me understand hard drive speeds, 2 hard drives

    Stop making a hash of this explanation. OP, what you're looking at is the interface speed, not the actual data transfer rates of those hard drives. The 7200RPM drive will be faster than the 5400RPM one, but neither of them can send data through the interface at speeds anywhere near 3 Gbps, let...

    Big Question - After 40 years do I abandon tricked out rigs for GeForce Now et al

    What are you doing on [H] if you think overclocking is just a button in the UEFI? UEFI overclocking is just a lookup table. It overvolts and underclocks the chip compared to what it can actually run stably 24/7.

    Serial Swatter Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    You can't test for it. End of story. Because you can't test for it, you can't legislate around what would happen if you could test for it. This is why death sentences are stupid - because any risk of killing an innocent man is too high a risk to contemplate unless you have a warped perception...

    Serial Swatter Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    People who want their tax dollars to go towards stopping crime and rehabilitating those who can be rehabilitated, rather than paying for arbitrarily extreme punishments that only satisfy people's outrage? Lets be perfectly frank about this - People who say shit like this, in the majority of...

    CPU Usage Differences after Applying Meltdown Patch at Epic Games

    Can you please provide the source that told you Intel have known about this for ten years, rather than the 6 months Project Zero says? Or at least, can you confirm that you HAVE a source? Cuz without those, I'm just gonna have to throw your post in the "Conspiracy bin". I don't like Intel...

    CPU Usage Differences after Applying Meltdown Patch at Epic Games

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    Exactly, and the fact he is so determined as to waste HOURS of his time trying to disprove the fact I had the OS literally break itself is very telling as to just how completely unable to think rationally, Bulletdust actually is.

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    A 1070, however that has nothing to do with the system nuking itself because the nvidia drivers weren't installed when it did so. Also, are you aware that your one example does nothing to prove how "common" or not common something is? What you should be concerned about is what caused my...

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    You can screenshot as much as you like. I experienced an OS that nuked itself via it's own update utility. Whatever your install does is irrelevant. You're literally not making a point by doing this, apart from that you're so desperate not to admit any flaw in Solus, that you're willing to go to...

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    You saw a cross indicating that "something" about the username you had entered was inadmissible.

(As in fact, the SAME INSTALLER does...

    Why Hasn’t the Year of the Linux Desktop Happened Yet?

    Except, you know, the fact it completely nuked itself because I had the audacity to run updates. That minor issue. Also I'm sure you will have no issues installing it - I didn't either? The lack of clarity regarding case is a quality of life improvement the OS should have but doesn't. It was...
