I tried fusion360 last week and it was broken; some big update they released broke it and now I just gagged to wait for it to get fixed, I guess. Will try it again in a month or so asked are if it’s fixed… but I’ve always had awful luck getting wine working. Same w/ photoshop
Honestly, kinda glad that my win10 PC “doesn’t have the specs” to run win11. Stupid, because I’m running an 18-core Xeon w/ 128 gigs of ram and a 2070 super, but of course the stupid TPM chip. But oh well, guess I won’t be able to get ads on my own product.
The bummer is I’ll likely need to install it on something because I occasionally need to go back to windows to use certain programs… maybe someday wine will work well enough to actually use reliably…
I’ve tried out FreeCAD and it’s decent - but it’s really tough to get a hang of. Ondsel has a bit of a better interface imo and is based directly off of FreeCAD. Maybe give either of those a shot?
Huh, that’s certainly interesting! The hacky solution ended up having to do with power states which is kinda annoying - I have to set the GPU to use max power state because if it goes into the min state and then I walk away for 5-10 mins, it drops out of the PCIe slot and I need to reboot. SSH still works but you can’t reattach it w/o a reboot. I’m running a PCIe gen 5 mobo though and I heard about some potential problems with that, so maybe that was related. Could also be the fact that I ran a Quadro RTX 4000 on the same system/OS for a year or so and didn’t want to do a full reinstall, so it probably had somewhat to do with leftover drivers and crap
I set up my 4070 TS (the brand new one) on Ubuntu 22.04 about two months ago and my god was it a pain in the ass. Took like two days to do and even after that it would still hit a screen freeze issue every thirty minutes that took another week to find a half-assed solution for…
ELI5 what does this mean for the average Linux user? I run a few Ubuntu 22.04 systems (yeah yeah, I know, canonical schmanonical) - but they aren’t bleeding edge, so they shouldn’t exhibit this vulnerability, right?
You hit the nail on the head with that last sentence - too big to give a f**k. Gotta love the big corpos.
lol, I wish. Luckily I have plenty of computing power at home already! But unfortunately we’re definitely not allowed to take anything - have asked a number of times :/ has nothing to do with storage and everything to do with capital BS
At least in the enterprise sector, you’re absolutely right. My company’s already got a massive list of all of the PCs that need to be discarded due to Win10 EOL. It freakin sucks because they’re very powerful PCs, but the damn lack of a TPM2.0 chip means they are basically garbage for our uses. And they don’t let employees take anything home :/ what a waste of
If you’re not running with a battery, the maximum wattage of the charging brick should be shown on the brick itself. Either that or you can calculate it with P=I*V (amps * volts). That won’t give you what the laptop draws on average (likely much less than the calculated value) but it will give you a maximum.
Even if you were able to make your own PCB and somehow solder everything onto it, one of the things that makes complex boards like motherboards so tough to make is signal path lengths. Ever see how some of the traces on motherboards are squiggly and take up more space than the straight ones? That isn’t just for fun - all of the traces have to be incredibly specific lengths for a whole number of reasons, including signal timing and interference with other traces.
Freak out and force-power-down your PC, and never accidentally open vim again
RAID 1. Raid 0 stripes data between disks, meaning you get much faster I/O speeds but if one disk fails, you lose it all. RAID 1 is when you have 2 (or more) disks and the data is mirrored between both. So if one does, you’ve got a perfect copy of it on the other disk. RAID 0 = “striped”, RAID 1 = “mirrored”
