“Does it have an attached garage?” “Brother does it ever”

ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one “Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat” sign really says who the target market is.

I always thought GPD made some cool little devices. SteamOS seems like a good fit for them

A used i5-8500T or similar sounds pretty good, actually. Idk about Europe, but in the US you can get them second hand for like $30 on ebay. Seems like you can also find Passive coolers for that socket too on ebay, if you really want.

If you can find an ITX board that has the correct socket second hand, then you’d be good to go, and have options for expansion, if its got a pcie slot.

I’ve got a NAS built with used parts and its been fine for me so far. Its not as low power as yours, but the components were cheap enough that I could spend more on storage. And when its just idling, I don’t think it uses that much power (Never actually measured the power consumption at the plug. Its a Ryzen 3200g) but it sits at like 2% CPU usage most of the time with the host OS and 3 VMs running.

Why??? who thought this was a good idea?!?

Star Fox designer Takaya Imamura posted on X (Twitter) to say “I don’t think Nintendo would tolerate this, but I’m personally very happy about it.” (translated from Japanese).

lmao i kind of love this quote.

Never actually tried one of these PC ports before. I loved Starfox 64 so maybe i’ll try this one

Next its gonna be “Amazon instates RTO mandate, but employees must rent their own office space since Amazon doesn’t have enough. Anything but working inside of your own home. This will not be reimbursed”

you come across headlines nowadays and have no clue this was even a thing people were grifting children about, man…

eh? really? I never would have guessed

I’m glad that of all the things, the Sonic movies are what really sparked his passion for acting in recent years

“Don’t worry guys, no one will ever buy opera tickets on their phone”

they’re using the Wi-fi radiation to cook your meals /s

Thats really, really dumb. I can understand maybe wanting the option of having your oven ping your phone when the timer goes off, but what could it possibly need internet access for in order to turn on the heating element and a fan for a set period of time??

wait till they hear from the 5.25" Floppy Disk lobby

man, get the executives to man the garden center during peak Christmas Tree season and i’ll go there with a bucket of popcorn just to watch.

Legit tho, this sounds like a pretty interesting way to hopefully reduce the disconnect between corporate and whatever goes on in the public facing parts of their company.

Moon’s haunted

just in time for GTA6 to come out and be 3TB in size

yt-dlp is what i normally use, tho its only got a command line interface. I think someone’s made a GUI for it, but I’ve never tried it.

oh really? I didn’t know that

Eyyyy lets go Jimmy!!

I was about to be real sad seeing his picture and reading the first 5 words of the headline, but the last two really made my day. I feel like no one makes it past like 3 weeks in hospice care, but he’s still going

I personally don’t do a lot of Blender work outside of a super basic render with like one or two light sources and never really used it much when i still had an Nvidia card so I can’t really speak to it, unfortunately. I’ve never really experienced any crashes or issues or anything, outside of a regression in one of the versions of rocm-hip that was eventually patched.

I’d avoid a 13th or 14th gen Intel processor right now because they’ve had a lot of problems with their manufacturing process. Otherwise, there’s not really much difference between AMD and Intel in terms of like, OS compatibility or anything.

I’ve done some basic work with Davinci Resolve on linux and I haven’t really had any issues with my Radeon 7800XT. I can’t really speak for using the proprietary drivers for AMD, but with the open source drivers, as long as you install rocm-opencl through your package manager, Davinci Resolve should be fine. Overall, I’d recommend an AMD GPU. Edit: You mentioned blender in a comment. For AMD’s open source drivers you’d need to install rocm-hip for Cycles to work

Edit 2: I hadn’t tried blender in a bit and I realized apparently at least on Fedora 40, you also need rocm-hip-devel at least as of 09/24/24 for supported AMD GPUs to show up in Blender. Idk how that would translate to other distros

PC Part Picker is good cuz when you start a new build, you start with the CPU and then it’ll only show you parts compatible with that CPU. As someone else mentioned tho, its not perfect and you still may want to check clearances between parts, like that your CPU cooler isnt too tall for your case, or that your Power Supply isnt too long (been there, lmao)

From my own personal experience with buying brand new RAM and it being bad a few times, I’d probably run memtest86+ for a few hours once the computer is together to make sure that the RAM actually works. You can download the linux ISO w/ GRUB option and make a bootable flash drive out of that and let it run. Afterwards, I usually install my OS. Might save you a few headaches down the road if you get into your new OS and things behave strangely, but its up to you.

Other than that, the setup shouldn’t be too hard.
