I might have a hoarding problem. Need to check what are good 8tb HDDs.

Whichever ones you can get cheap.

Some people shuck WD Easystores last I knew.

If you don't plan to do much rewriting to them, an SMR HDD might save a few bucks.

At some times I thought, wow, those 4TB will never fill up.
At some times...
Recently collapsed below 300GB, free space may have been divided by 4, 5 if not more.
It wasn't a waste after all, it was perfectly realistic.

From time to time, I see dumbasses on reddit sending screenshots of their computer monitor using phone pictures then I realize these dumbasses live their lives on their phones and uploading shit from the retarded reddit app is faster for them than a simple printscreen -> ctrl+v.

I have a screenshot tool (aimed at unix/linux) that I wrote myself that automatically saves a picture and avoids the 'paste' step. Also I think newer windows versions have a similar functionality under some different key binding.

The code is a terrible mess and makes a lot of assumptions that are only true on my systems, or I'd release it. But it works well enough for me.

Not sure about other browsers but opera allows pasting directly from clipboard to an upload window so I can skip the save to file part, which is neat since I hate having random files in my picture folder.

I guess if the monitor or gpu has issue itself, it can't really be helped.

Are there any routers that do not have hardcoded backdoors?

feel like for personal linux systems it works out better to just throw together a script for your personal needs. mine just calls maim -s -u then uploads it to personal file hosting and copies link to clipboard. theres an alternative binding that doesnt do the upload step and copies the entire image to clipboard.
on any good os it should take more than a couple lines of script

speaking of clipboard annoyances even on windows where its built in these days to do win+shift+s I still see people use some weird 3rd party garbage which links to horrendously js filled sites. some people just cant be saved

On win 10, super + print scr does it, though I honestly don't remember if that's default behavior. It saves a PNG in a folder in 'My images' and flashes the screen slightly darker for a second as the confirmation it did anything. As for my linux systems, hitting printscr brings up a dialog with a thumbnail asking where I want to save to, if I want it in the clipboard or piped to a program, or inexplicably a button to host it on imgur and give a link. xscreenshot in Xubuntu, default behavior again, I think, There's probally a way to make it always do the same thing without asking.

Ones where you run openwrt?

Unless you count being able to hold the reset button physically.

Mine saves a file and can optionally put a complete path to the file on clipboard so I can upload it with Ctrl-L Ctrl-V from the file chooser.

They're like the people who use nhentai instead of e-hentai.

I used to use a dialogue like that (which did not have an imgur button though). Ended up writing a wrapper around ffmpeg that takes a screenshot using 'x11grab'.
I could also make it use kmsgrab for retarded (read: Wayland) systems, but that requires root and so it actually manages to be less secure than an X server where anything can read the screen contents.

My script is nice in that it also handles situations where you just want to take a screenshot of a single window. It calculates the dimensions of a window you click on and then crops accordingly.

Actually, now that I look at my code, the CLI tool is pretty decent... just my UI that runs my CLI tool is shit. If you're just triggering it from a script and don't need to be able to specify a filename/destination path each time, it'd work fine standalone.

people who spend half their day on twitter, facebook, reddit.

umm.. i thought why latest desktop parts can't reduce power consumption.

Because people keep demanding ever higher performance and we already are hitting moore's law's end. So we repeat the Pentium 4 era.

Anyone know where these slides came from? (not the data; the presentation itself).

I just bought an 8TB 7200rpm Toshiba HDD. I had a few TB's free still but I think I'll use this one to back up my laptop onto, and maybe even make it my boot HDD as well (still booting from that 15 year old seagate right now).

Think I saw it on a youtube.

From memory the 13% difference in performance between 2080ti vs 3090 is with DLSS disabled. With DLSS enable it averaged a 30% improvement, at 4k and 1440p. At 1080p in many games there was not as much of a difference.

Though this showed how much chip real estate they were putting into tensor cores.

It gets murkier when you have the late gen higher model 2080tis that are power modded and the difference in performance becomes much less.

edit: Capping voltage so the boost clocks are limited to 1900 Mhz lowers the heat dramatically but hurts game performance relatively little. It hurts synthetic benchmarks dramatically though.

Edit: The 4080 series is just nuts for thermals and power. So I wonder if performance per watt will go negative lol.

Google is funneling the majority of traffic that they used to get into reddit. So they are probably trying to maintain engagement by implementing reddit like features.

That makes more sense.
