Plasma Bigscreen is scheduled for its first release next month: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

Same, 8 heads is way overkill for my simple 0.4/0.6/0.8mm nozzle swap use case but I wanted to build something. :)

I am happy if someone uses AI first to come up with a coherent message, bug report, or question.

LLMs do not add anything of value to bug reports, they add unecessary padding requiring me to filter out the marketing speech to get down to the issue. I would much rather have the raw brain dump of theirs.

If somebody sends me their ChatGPT text I now ask them to send me their prompt instead so I don’t have to waste my time on their lengthy text that has the same amount of information as the original.

I am annoyed if it’s ill-researched/understood nonsense, AI assisted or not.

Being coherent is rarely the problem in bug reports, it’s the user not properly typing out what the actual issue is.

I have gotten bullet point list bug reports that read like they were written by an insane person that were more useful than a nicely written ChatGPT message with 0 information in it.

Fedora 43 with the Rawhide kernel.

gpt-oss is pretty much unusable without custom system prompt.

Sycophancy turned to 11, bullet points everywhere and you get a summary for the summary of the summary.

Of course, self hosted with llama-swap and llama.cpp. :)

I have a Strix Halo machine with 128GB VRAM so I’m definitely going to give this a try with gpt-oss-120b this weekend.

Indeed. Connections to my Tor bridge dropped by 80% when Iran disconnected.

I bought a used Tesla model 3 just before Elon started donating to the GOP and I’m going to disconnect the WiFi and 5G antennas this weekend

If it’s old enough you can even strip out the entire connectivity module or the physical SIM.

How drunk are these guys?

Ask the dude that renamed Twitter to X (formerly Twitter).

PipePipe/NewPipe also have support for streaming directly from CCC.

Haven’t heard anything yet.

Same, still got the devkit 1 and 2 in my cellar.

Really looking forward to the Steam Frame to finally get standalone VR without Meta involvement.

So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge.

If you drop the “cutting edge” condition instead, you could grab a Fairphone, which ticks all the other checkboxes.

Unless you game on your phone, you won’t notice a thing between modern high end and low end phones as long as they put enough RAM in.

Samsung is the opposite of everything you mentioned besides cutting edge.

Their measurements are correct but not surprising, Wayland triple buffers everything on desktop. Currently triple buffering is only disabled in fullscreen applications, when the compositor supports it.

I wanted to take my own measurements with the newer tearing control protocol but didn’t get to it yet.

My comment starts with “Except accessibility”. I’m not downvoting anyone because they say accessibility on Wayland sucks, because it does.

I’m downvoting the other person that compares Wayland to Star Citizen, because they paid so much for Wayland and they take so long.

Except accessibility, Wayland has been a huge upgrade over X11.

Much better security isolation, proper HDR, full multi-monitor support, full VRR support, better application scaling, no screen tearing and reduced latency. (The clipboard also works fine)

Without Wayland I would not be on Linux right now.

There is zero market for an underpowered “PC” console with less VRAM than literally every other current console including switch 2

The Switch 2 only has 12 GB of LPDDR5X shared memory between CPU/GPU. 3 GB are reserved for the system, that leaves you with about 9 GB shared between CPU and GPU.

The Steam Machine uses GDDR6 and has 8 GB of dedicated VRAM.

Stolen from https://www.eurogamer.net/skyrim-golden-claw-door-puzzle-solution-bleak-falls-barrow :

Gemma 3 27b:

 Egg:  The stone with the coiled serpent (looks like a dragon egg)
 Hatchling: The stone with the dragon head emerging from a spiral.
 Dragon: The stone with the full, flying dragon.

Correct game, wrong puzzle. Did detect that it is a puzzle though.

ChatGPT:

According to the Eurogamer article, that is correct.

But… today, can one genuinely imagine playing Dark Souls (or any other game) without… knowing it?

Absolutely not, but I would love to see someone do a challenge run where they play through the entire game just with Copilot. No thinking allowed.
