    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    I've started messing around with Proxmox, which means I've been having to learn more about Linux than I ever really wanted to. 😅

    Steam 2024 Spring sale is here! Spring sale runs from March 14 to March 21 2024, 10 AM PST

    It's still selling like crazy, why would they discount it even more? Overall, pretty meh prices on all my wishlist items.

    4090 laptop at 4k/120hz

    Sounds like a nice machine. How is the MiniLED for input lag when you get down below 60 Hz? That was one of the main things preventing me from getting a MiniLED monitor, they tended to be about double or triple most other monitors in that regard.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    You're not wrong, but gamers are not the ones selling these out. It's already been said, but it may be time to admit that nVidia is not a gaming company anymore. Hopefully the other two competitors can step up and actually give a crap about gamers.

    How do your eyes not hurt from HDR?

    HDR isn't for office work, it's for gaming/movies where it's often really dark with bursts of brightness. The point is to have a large range between black and white, so yeah, sometimes it's gonna be really bright.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    The kind of people spending $2000+ per speaker is a really niche market. The vast majority of HT/audiophiles are not spending that kind of money. $2000 on an HT setup *total*, sure. I don't think the market for $2000+ GPUs for gaming is as widespread as you seem to think.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Seems reasonable enough. I actually pre-ordered this, I've been waiting for a PC port of this forever.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    It makes me wonder how many total sales to actual gamers (not people buying to scalp or companies buying for AI stuff) are made here. I don't know anyone personally who would pay even $1000 for a GPU, let alone $1600 or $2000+. I just can't imagine there being that huge of a market there...

    HP wants more of your money

    I had to help install drivers for a home HP printer for a remote user recently. Apparently, you now have to use the HP Smart app, which is meh at best, and you have to make an HP account for the printer to allow you to scan locally. That's, of course, on top of the ink DRM chip lockdown. I'd...

    Switch emulator Yuzu is in Nintendo's crosshair

    You know what helps piracy flourish? Nintendo pulling crap like this and making me not want to give them money in the future.

    XBOX ONE X: A viable 4K UHD Disc Player?

    Shortly after my last post I actually found a pretty great deal on one with a damaged box, but new/unharmed otherwise, so problem solved!

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Probably all depends on what AMD is releasing next. Performance claims could be true, but a $1000 uplift over the 4090 seems pretty excessive. Wouldn't put it past nVidia, though.

    XBOX ONE X: A viable 4K UHD Disc Player?

    I have quite a few normal Blu-rays, so the upscaling might be nice. I'll just keep an eye on it and see if I can pick it up on a sale. Apparently it's gotten down to $370 or so in the past. I think recently it was going for around $425 or so.

    WTB: Nvidia Shield Pro

    I've heard it's one of, if not the best streaming platform as far as support for things like Dolby Vision. Right now I have an mini-HTPC and Windows 11 kinda sucks for that purpose.

    WTB: Nvidia Shield Pro

    Seeing if anyone is looking to get rid of one. 2019 model I believe? Goes for $200 new on Amazon.

    I mean Teams is just janky anyway. The New Teams will just close without error for me constantly on my work laptop.

    Looks decent, but between other games and Palworld I don't really have time for yet another survival crafting game.

    Get Ready for "Gamerlicious" Nvidia Control Panel

    I remember when not running a game full-screen caused a huge performance hit. Doesn't really matter much anymore, most games default to borderless window these days.

    Get Ready for "Gamerlicious" Nvidia Control Panel

    Seems fine to me. Seems like a good move toward what AMD has, which is far superior in terms of functionality, currently. You can still access the old Control Panel, if you go to Settings and then scroll all the way down to the bottom in the app.

    XBOX ONE X: A viable 4K UHD Disc Player?

    Yeah, I was sort of pissed when I discovered that. Looking to get a UHD player that supports the latest formats, but I'm not paying $500 for it.

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    I mean, here's the thing. I only have so much money that I'm willing to spend monthly on recurring costs. Utilities and internet/phone are already a large chunk of that, so I'm not putting money into 10+ subscriptions for various crap. I think right now I only do Mullvad and Spotify. Used to...

    [Epic Game Store] Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! & Lost Castle FREE till 2-15-24

    I didn't think it was that scary, more weird than anything with some vaguely creepypasta stuff. In any case, I'm a wimp when it comes to horror games, and this didn't bother me at all.

    Have you ever played Pony Island? It's kinda like that, in a way. And if you haven't... you definitely should. But no, it doesn't actually do anything malicious.

    Pacific Drive

    Yeah, it's a real shame because I really like the concept and I really *want* to like it. Maybe after a few patches if they decide to add some QoL changes.

    HELLDIVERS II

    WAB has some really bad takes sometimes. I used to watch him pretty frequently, but it seems like over time he's gotten worse and worse. Unsubbed quite some time ago.

    Pacific Drive

    I tried the demo...not sure how I feel about it. It seems decent but I don't like that I was 20+ minutes into an area and it wouldn't let me save mid-mission. I could have spent way longer but I'm not going 30+ minutes between saves. I also found the UI to be really difficult to parse...

    They're pushing on value, for sure, Not so much on RT performance, but the jump from 6000 to 7000 series was pretty good.

    No audio on some programs but not others on two devices using Yamaha RX-V385... I have no ideas?

    So are you using external speakers with the receiver? If you're doing Roku -> AVR -> TV then it's not using eARC, unless for some reason you're pushing audio through the TV speakers. But in that case, why even use a receiver? Are there differences in the audio type between shows (Dolby, DTS, etc.)?

    Palworld

    Yep, imagine being a fucking Nintendo bootlicker in the year of our lord 2024. Crazy stuff. I've played the game a bit, it's pretty fun and seems like a lot of content for the ~$26 price tag. Supposedly only 60% of the game is complete, according to the dev, so maybe more coming.

    5.1 (or 5.1.2) speaker set sub-$600?

    Nope, you're good, I said I *could* get a set locally and didn't really specify if I did or not. They were down in Seattle and I ended up needing to head down there last weekend anyway, so I picked them up. It was a really good deal, less than half of what the lowest sale prices generally are...
