Do you need to run the Intel cards with an Intel CPU to get the quick sync benefits? I upgraded my desktop last year and am going to convert my old Ryzen 5600x system to … something. Not sure what yet though. Just working on my options.
The real answer?
Data is transmitted in packets. Each packet has a packet header, and a packet payload. The total data transmitted is the header + payload.
If you’re transmitting smaller packet sizes, it means your header is a larger percentage of the total packet size.
Measuring in megabits is the ISP telling you “look, your connection is good for X amount of data. How you choose to use that data is up to you. If you want more of it going to your packet headers instead of your payload, fine.” A bit is a bit is a bit to your ISP.
This is why being pedantic usually backfires
No shit. You’re giving us a master class on it right now.
Across several accounts
I choose to believe those tankies are doing the same, and it’s just one tankie you’re arguing with. In fact all tankies arguments on Lemmy are just at argument between you and other said tankie dude on new accounts.
Type the right numbers in. It’s 4x
Well, my personal options on
literallyare that it is not being used to meanfiguratively, it is being used in a figurative manner for weight and effect. The same way thatyeahandrightare both positive/agreement words, but can be used in a figurative manner to mean the opposite. If someone says “they turned the frogs gay!” And someone responds “riiiiiiiiiight…”,rightstill means “that statement is correct” but it was used with an inflection that implies the opposite. That doesn’t mean the dictionary definition ofrightnow needs to be updated to fall in line with 21st century sarcastic smart ass linguistics.So, I dont actually think the definition of
literallyhas changed, and I disagree with any dictionary that says it has and now needs to include an additional definition of the word that means the opposite.The reason I was asking is because you, like me, seem to care about this more than the average person. So I was curious of your thought on the matter in hopes that I might gain some additional insight on the matter that I didn’t have before.
It mildly irks me too, however, I can’t remember the last time I was actually confused by the intent of the speaker.
That’s the same feeling I would have if someone told me a story where they were “habilitated by fear” instead of “debilitated by fear”. I know what they mean. That doesn’t mean the word they used means the same thing though.
What is the line for language evolution ?
If I start calling dogs “cats” tomorrow, am I wrong? Or have I just taken the first steps towards making my mark on the English language?
The correct usage is however people use it
If people use “literally” figuratively, does that mean that they’re evolving the language? Or are they just idiots?
My pet peeve is people using
lesswhen they should be usingmore
Shoulda woulda coulda
That’s because motherfuckers are idiots.
Chew that stem bruh
How often do you update your off-site backups?
Yeah. That’s perfect. Thanks!
That’s my next project now that I have my pihole set up. My basic ass router from my ISP does not support that though.
Side question: do you know of any openWRT supported routers in the $100-150 range with external antennas? Everything I’ve taken a look at is either an internal antenna, or like $400.

The gas didn’t have carbon monoxide. The gas released carbon monoxide as a byproduct when the gas was combusted to release the heat for the oven.
Same people that think “organic” = “healthy”
Didn’t think I’d ever see Waleska on Lemmy… but, yeah. This is just the story all over North Georgia right? No one wanted to live in the mountains until all of the sudden you could work from anywhere. Now everyone earning city and suburb pay is happy to live an hour farther out than they were before.
