Iirc any 3D card capable of running Q2 (ie you weren’t rendering it on your CPU) would display the transparent water (unlike Quake 1), so something like Riva 128 or Voodoo 1 at the time Quake 2 launched.

Later cards (Voodoo 2 and onwards) gave you the advantage of a significantly higher frame rate and resolution.

Yeah!
(You mean software vs openGL api rendering?)

Biggest difference was in Glide games, like Unreal.

Also SLI unlocked 1024×768 (instead of just 800×600) bcs each card rendered half of the screen.

Nooo, my SLI Voodoos (2×12MB)!!

(I assume for 20k it’s one of them big ones for fast sports or wildlife photography. Random examples: 600mm youtube/OpwwacC1H4w, 1200mm youtube/_-0XCNK_H0I)

They were sleeping together, the gun just wasn’t a morning weapon and still in bed at the time.

Yeah, my multimonitor experience is better under x11, especially gaming (also Lutris has more features for x11 too in that regard). I only use it on that machine tho.

Yes, I agree with that sort of caution, but the tech giants have already been successful (MS in particular with their OneDrive locations).

A full revolt is a strong word, but perhaps a campaign to help EU bureaucratic workers (idk, the ones working professionally on legislative docs that don’t have political jobs - so eg various review agencies) bcs they are doing amazing job.

And with public understanding why privacy & digital ownership rules matter we make their jobs easier (otherwise they are between a loud lobby & a quiet public trying to do their best for the public).

Never too early to revolt - why should we be paving the road for megacorps to own/enslave us even more?

At least educate the consumers on what is at stake, it’s a very complex subject.

Lol (but ppl do that).

As a PSA: depending on your needs (bcs I see a lot of simple homelabs RAIDing), consider second server or even second location simple snapshot backup vs same-machine duplication.
Like, which would you want to set up first depending on your specific risks profile.

The later is like like a proper backup, the former more of a low-downtime strat (that most smol homelabs can do without - “just wait a day, mom”)

Eg as the most basic example - instead of local duplication you could have a small PC (even like some old Pi), big HDD, and rsync once a day.

(Ofc, with duplicated serves, finances permitting, you can also provide backup services which helps that downtime issue. And by finances I mean the rest of your server group stuff, which in my cases is mostly HDD cost anyways.)

Not yet!!

Armor, some PCBs can get pointy.

Go to a lil market, discuss politics, chat in coffee shops, etc … all in a friendly manner between two species where one is 4× larger (in body-length alone) than the other. Basically like humans & cats.

Amazing!

This finding is the first documented case of colonial behavior between two solitary species of spider

And one species (Prinerigone vagans) is 2-3mm, the other (Tegenaria domestica) 7.5-11.5mm in body length.

Like a bunch of introverted humans and cats prob.

Yes!

Half of these at least.
The rest are prob a bit tiny.

It’s making me want to go to there.

Spiderlemmy! Spiderlemmy! Does whatever a Spiderlemmy does!

Also you fine folk wear your disto-wear over or under your Gimp-wear?
