Pbecause we don't give a shit about industrial design anymore and just chew through a new set of off the shelf hardware every 5-10 years
Pthere's no reason for those machines to actually become ewaste except we want people to buy newer shit
LMy dad still has one in his garage.
Pyou can replace one of those systems with much more rugged system and we won't
Pwe'll just buy some lenovo shit
CHow much compute per watt do you get with a new PC vs decade old?
Is a decade old HDD a good place for critical data compared to a recent SSD?
Is a decade old HDD a good place for critical data compared to a recent SSD?
CIs it good security to have privileged drivers abandoned a decade ago on a networked computer?
Pwhat argument is there to make on that if we're still wasting orders of magnitude more power running commodity hardware instead of purposefully designed systems
Pthey're not going to do the right thing and replace it with something built to last when it's easier to just partner with some company like lenovo that can shit out general purpose crap on demand
FCommodore has less attack surface though due to it's light size of components
P. what
Pyou mean from the perspective of a rubber mallet?
Vhow about we raise the efficiency of coal generators first?
Vif possible
Pbeing serious i don't think you can aptly compare the security methodology of a commodore versus modern compute
Pthe whole reason those places are still using something like a commodore is because it meets their demands without playing to the whims of another industry at-large
Jreplacing my windows machines with TempleOS because it has no networking and thus a lesser attack surface
Vwith a commodore you'd have to actually be physically there to hack it
Preplacing my starlink with a serial cable because i keep hearing captain crunch in my head
JI mean I think there were modems for the commodores
Pthere were lol
Jgonna ring you up and hack ya
Pidk what you would actually do with a commodore modem
JWargames time
Pi guess it mightve been good for BBS? idk i'm not 9000 years old
J
Pi am pretty sure that was used in industry so you could supplant traditional backend machines with.. another commodore
Pthough
SAnyone use Bazzite/Linux in general with a KVM switch? Wondering if it's an issue specific to my setup, but after switching away from Bazzite and back, my display is stuck at 640x480 and system settings just calls the display "Nvidia"
JI don't use a KVM but if
kscreen-doctor -othough it kinda sounds like that's not the case there, especially if you can't set it through the GUI system settings
SI'll have to check it out next time I'm in. I've unfortunately spent way more time just trying to get some basics cooperating than playing games. Thank you for the clue, though like you I'm not super hopeful.
SMaybe 2024H2 will be year of the Linux gaming desktop [:
JSoon 
JAlmost there with my 1080ti just got a few quirks left
Jgsync and a few freezes get sorted and I'm solid
SI actually had left it in a pretty good place - 4080 Super working around Explicit Sync for Firefox, got 1Password connected to Firefox with native messaging, and my game even running. Really hurt seeing the KVM just ruin the entire thing; that's kind of a major component of my setup for slacking off at work
JMight be able to use a hdmi dummie plug or something to keep the display alive
Jbut dunno if that would work or not
S(joking about slacking, but if I wanted to send a simple Slack message in the middle of the game, I don't want to restart the entire OS/DE >.<)
MYes. And with Nvidia.
SThat's comforting, I suppose. Hopefully a future driver fix, like the explicit sync thing
VMan I just realized people couldn't even use their cards... Thank god I could
VOtherwise I wouldn't of gotten 3 classic movies

Vsame
VHow to train your dragon still hold up to this day... And lord of the rings? Well that's very difficult to beat.
Zanyone can help with 🛟bazzite-helpkwallet GPG error was No secret key (Again) having to constently reboot every time I power off then on my pc is driving me mad
LAnybody know how to optimize performance on bazzite?
