  • Man, you know why you’re getting downvoted so much? Your comments fall of as EXTREMELY egocentric.

    It’s like right-wing people are going around imitating me to confuse people or something.

    On the internet, you are not special, just one of the many billions of usernames around. It’s not that right wingers are imitating you, the problem is that so often someone will make a post like yours saying “I get banned so often, this place is impossible”, and when people ask what they did to get banned, they’ll receive some vague bullshit answers like “for saying the truth” or “for any word I speak”, then you see their history and they say the most hateful, racist or mysoginist thing you can think of and they’ll act as the most persecuted of victims. It appears you are doing the same, even if that’s not your intention.

    I don’t want to be associated with a place that says “fill out an application and wait to be approved.”

    You are on the internet man, if people don’t do that, spam happens and instances get flooded with bots trolling everything until they shut down. If you don’t want to “be approved” you won’t have an account anywhere. Deal with it.

    I’m not trying to insult you, just trying to help you, because it looks like you are slightly oblivious to how you present yourself.




  • Have been to Los Angeles for a short time with friends and of course we tried several fast foods. We decided to go to Hooters just for fun, but the food was surprisingly the most decent of those we tried, and also reasonably priced. Of course we could see a lot of creepy around us and it was a little unconfortable seeing some clearly underage(apparently >18 yo) girls just being there for their boobs.

    The US really is a weird place…







  • I would hardly consider “one or two trump supporter in two years” a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?

    Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It’s just a place where there’s no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.


  • Not hating, I don’t know from which year this is from, didn’t even know it’s a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.

    You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn’t really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.



  • USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

    As for the cable length I wouldn’t really know, probably it’s possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn’t change much because the current os always rather low, it’s the voltage that increases.



  • Can’t really advise you on what to do, but here’s some conaiderations:

    • I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn’t really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it’s forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you’ll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I’m guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it’s gen3 or gen5.

    Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we’ll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.






  • Your country is going to elections and a leaked video of one of the candidates happears on social media that shows them raping a child or whatever einous stuff.

    Would you like to know if that’s a real video or a foreign country is trying to manipulate your elections to favour an emerging pseudo dictator that will sell your people to someone else? I would like to.

    We are not talking about ai memes or trolls, virtually everybody get news and is influenced by stuff found on the internet. Knowing what is real and what isn’t is fundamental to your functioning as a person.
