I think all polls are bs but even if they're not, Carney has to feel like the luckiest guy alive right now. Liberals were dead in the water a few weeks ago.

When the 10 comes out, those will be two phones at very different price points and capabilities. I don't think it'll be fair to compare them.
this might be the last opportunity for a lot of people to buy cards for the foreseeable future.
That and my regret over not upgrading early in the covid era were the driving forces in my decision to build a new machine last month. I wasn't expecting the 9070 cards to reset the gpu value charts. I was surprised when they did for a short time at release but they were still outside my price range. I was lucky enough to snag a used 6900xt at a good price which should be enough for my needs for at least a couple of years. Hopefully by then, the 9070xt will be well supported in linux and easier to buy.
I appreciate the hw unboxed and gamersnexus style videos, where they give us all the information in context, and we can choose what is relevant to us. It's not for everyone but I like how they cater to enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, as someone who isn't looking to upgrade atm, the only thing I get out of this video is that the current climate for GPUs is terrible with no relief in sight.
I don't think they're saying it's good economics and yes, for the most part, we understand how these tariffs will affect us.
But there's a lot of anger at Trump here. Booing the American national anthem is not something we do lightly. I haven't seen people this united for a common cause for a long time. I regularly see people checking labels at grocery stores to avoid buying American even if we have to pay more.
We know a recession is likely for both countries and we'll be hit harder by it. It's a small price to pay for our sovereignty.
I think kickassduke42 and I have been using the same source of info. It's all thanks to mrrobvs at the other site and started with this post. Prior to that, I had always used various resellers at 2x-5x of what I'm paying now.
I'm surprised that group hasn't been taken down yet. Maybe we could find a way to post reviews of the various services, something that doesn't clutter up the community and makes it easy to search for relevant info.
So what exactly are the rules here about discussing various providers and sources. I'm not a reseller (have no intention of becoming one) but I do have useful info to share. Would be nice to have a dedicated lemmy community that is safe from the usual takedowns & spam.
That listing is for a Sandy/Ivy bridge processor from 2011. I would really recommend something newer than Skylake at the minimum. For reference:
Something to also keep in mind is the codec support of the GPU for hardware decoding and transcoding if that's important to you. The Optiplexes will mostly be fine in this regard but if you see yourself needing AV1 support anytime soon, Intel's N line is an efficient and relatively cheap option. Getting HDR tone mapping working at the hardware level might also be something to look out for.
Agreed but that's just life in Linux in general. If epic and gog don't want to do the work to have a legitimate option in Linux (makes sense given market share), we'll keep doing the best we can with the hacky options while supporting the platform that is putting in the work.
Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you're having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.
