28GB? Are they really that stingy that can’t can’t pull the trigger on 32gb for their top of the line card? The 3090 had 24gb, the 4090 still had 24gb, and now they add a measly 4gb more? This tells me that they are probably going to keep vram mostly the same on the lower cards as well.
That looks like a fairly balanced system to me. Are you sure the CPU is your biggest problem?
Can’t go wrong with pizza.
Yeah, some good points there. I totally agree about the problems with meaningful political discourse. I honestly believe most people don’t want to have a discussion on things, they just want to post their take and then feel validated by people up voting them. Add in bots and trolls, and political discussion just generally doesn’t work on platforms like this (or most of the internet at large).
Yeah, I can see how you might arrive at some of those things. I think in general a lot of people want mostly the same things, but by looking at a problem from a slightly different angle, you can arrive at largely different conclusions. Just as one of the things you stated, you think the government often doesn’t do a good job at the things it does. I can agree with that to a certain extent. However, I don’t believe that it is just intrinsically because the government is crappy at doing their job. I constantly see opponents fighting against these very institutions, trying to defund them, trying to make them ineffective. So yeah, its kind of hard for stuff to be done properly when certain people are trying to dismantle you every step of the way. But to that point, maybe the very fact that this is possible is proof that the American government doesn’t work well? I’d still think a functioning government is something worth working towards though.
When I was first becoming an adult (in the USA), I got into politics from talk radio. I became staunchly libertarian, perhaps a bit conservative learning. Over the years, as I started to gain more life experience, started to actually think about certain issues some more, hear more opposing viewpoints, and actually see how stuff played out over time, I slowly began turning more liberal. These days, I would say that I am left of center and mostly align with the Democratic party for voting purposes.
I love me some darknet diaries. I haven’t checked out hacked, how would you say it compares?
Yeah, google results suck these days. It just usually shows you a bunch of different pages from 5-10 sites, many of which are just blog spam or require you to sign in to actually view the content.
I loved just browsing the web and looking at random sites. Back in the late 90s, everyone made websites for anything they wanted. The internet wasn’t consolidated into just a few big sites then, there were personal websites for literally everything.
There were even meme websites… like in the sense that the sites themselves were the meme. For example, there was a website “Mr T ate my balls”, and then there were a ton of other similar sites like “Chewbacca ate my balls” or “sailor moon ate my balls”.
If I wanted to find info about a specific TV show or something, there were likely multiple fan sites set up that were dedicated specifically to that show.
It was such a different experience from the internet today. I kind of miss it.
It should probably last you several years with no issues. Look at the warranty on the model you are interested in, and assume that it should last you at least that long.
If it does fail, well at least it’s just your render cache.
