  • I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

    Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.




  • This dude specifically had a hate boner for linux because they got absolutely shredded in the server space and the only reason MSFT survived in the end user product line was because they were already an established monopoly capable of forcing and coercing OEMs to never to offer an alternative OS from the factory lol.

    But yes, at least they had some actual marketing ideas and design talent and not an infinite stream of slop.

    Although even Ballmer gifted us the crapshow that was windows 8 before he conveniently dipped.


  • tbf I got one that was trying to warn me of incorrect tax info which needs to be resolved only a month after I started lol.

    Wasn’t gonna click the link but I did do a double take because they formed it really well like a proper spear phish email would.

    Of course my job at some point involved memeing with gophish templates so I don’t think they’ll ever get me, especially when I’m using a proper client that lets me immediately swap to HTML and see the blocked image tracker tag lol.



  • Gonna do this soon as well. Used to use syncthing for auto photo transfers and I’m tired of Bitwarden’s crappy UI and terrible interop with autofill/autogenerate.

    It’ll probably never happen due to the nature of KBDX, but I would kill to make a resilient native sync feature so that orgs wouldn’t be locked into proprietary vaults which drags you into vendor lock in when one of them starts to tank.





  • While I’m sure there’s some level of quality to the ranking of a 1 year old ranking organization, these ranks are almost always completely useless in the face of reality because of the sample size and criteria.

    JFK Airport patted itself on the back for earning the “best airport in America” award which anyone can tell you walking through JFK is like a ghetto warzone.

    Similarly the game awards or the oscars choose many of their winners based on connections, sponsors, or market pressures. And many don’t even get nominated.
