$20 doesn’t make sense for AAA games with budgets in the $100 million range. Maybe we need fewer of those though.

Be aware that Bazzite is an immutable distro. Your home directory is write enabled, but the rest of the filesystem is read-only.
If you’re used to apt-get and such, it’s a bit of a change. Most of your apps will be flatpaks or appimages.
Also it means system updates require a reboot.
You shouldn’t need to do that, but a lot of people do.
Instead, when you apply the tape, roll it away a little bit to get the end to stick, and then pull on it to unroll. When you’re done, press the flat end down and twist the tape gun into the tape to cut it cleanly.
Once you’ve the the technique down, it’s very efficient.

Every step is a loss of efficiency.
The main advantage of water loops is that you get to use a different form factor for the radiator and fan by moving it away from the source of heat and aren’t limited by the case dimensions.
scutiger@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill controversial Data CenterEnglish0·1 month agoClosed loop watercooling is really just air cooling with extra steps. The water is heated by the devices and cooled by a large radiator with fans. Or it’s cooled with a chiller which in turn is cooled by a radiator with fans.
Replacing the water is the most effective (yet wasteful) way to remove the heat.
scutiger@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.world•I need help advocating for privacy in my HOA, which wants to set up cameras in common areasEnglish4·2 months agoAnd much like video games, a lot of this type of hardware is only supported as long as the manufacturer decides that it’s worth their time.
What’s going to happen to all this surveillance equipment when the cheapo manufacturer declares it all obsolete? Because no HOA is going to dish out the big bucks for high quality equipment from a reputable supplier and monthly fees for maintenance by a qualified specialist.

They want to hurt everyone but themselves, and sucking up to them only delays the harm they will cause to you. They don’t care how they’re remembered, as long as people keep saying their names.

scutiger@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?0·3 months agoIn the same vein, Iron Sky is a movie about Nazis having secretly built a moon base and being accidentally discovered. The first one is dumb but actually an enjoyable movie. The second one is truly, truly awful and shouldn’t even be watched out of curiosity.

The story is that Paris was taken in 6 hours, and that’s often used to mock the French for not resisting much. The truth is that Paris wasn’t damaged in the way London or Berlin were in WW2. Seems like a decent tradeoff in the end.
scutiger@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I believe that the "Nicole" images being sent to Threadiverse users may be intending to deanonymize accountsEnglish0·6 months agoI’ve received 4 of them so far, and the images were hosted on lemmy, including reputable instances, but never on the same instance as the message itself came from.
The larger the scale of games gets, the more people need to get paid to get them made.
Sure, you can argue that the scale doesn’t need to get bigger, but people vote with their wallets.
