Seriously.
All AMD had to do here is create a 12GB and 16GB version (instead of 8 and 16), then gesture at all the reviews calling the RTX 5060 8GB DOA because of the very limiting VRAM quantity.
8GB VRAM is not enough for most people. Even 1080p gaming is pushing the limits of an 8GB card. And this is all made worse when you consider people will have these cards for years to come.
I’m gunna guess maintenance issue on this one. Russia has been pushing their equipment very, very hard this war and they don’t seem to be fully keeping up with maintenance.
Imagine going about your day and a rando military chopper just goes down lmao.
Yeah, no joke! That would certainly be the event of the month for me.
It’s also fairly cheap to buy 32+ GB of RAM, lots of choices for under $80. Meanwhile, I’m not even sure how you find a video card with 32GB of VRAM (not that you really need this much, 12GB and 16GB are pretty solid for a video card nowadays).
Crap, you are right, units should be in Wh not W/h and as a result I put the conversion to hours backwards. Well, that turns the whole thing from an impressive amount of energy to basically none!
Edit 2: Eheran pointed out I screwed up the math. Correct total energy output is 13μWh. A very, very, very small amount of energy.
(2x1015 W) * (25s/1x1018) * (1 h/ 3600 s) = 13μWh
Previous bad math:
The key thing here is the burst lasted for “25 quintillionths of a second long”. Meaning it had a total output energy of 180 W/h, or how much energy a standard US space heater (1.5KW) outputs if it was on for 7.2 minutes.
That is a pretty impressive amount of power coming in instantly to a small spot. Would leave basically zero time for it to dissipate into surrounding materials.
Edit: Fixed the math. (I hope)
(2x1015 W) * (25/1x1018 s) * (3600 s / 1 h) = 180W/h
I was wondering why they were circling around it when it’s low-armor butt is right there. Then it zeroed in on the open hatch. Can’t go lower than zero armor!
Trump has been much, much too friendly with Putin. However, even Trump seems increasingly pissed at him. For example two weeks ago there was news the US is sending a Patriot battery to Ukraine.
Estonia shouldn’t have demonstrated weakness by letting the shadow fleet tanker go a few days ago just because Russia flew a jet overhead. If you show weakness, if you appease dictators, you will get stepped on.
The UPS should have a USB plug in the back. Plug that into your computer and it will read the battery status as if it was a laptop. Then in your OS, set the standard shutdown options when low on battery.
especially if you wanted to play Halo on PC
I still giggle that after years and years of Halo 3+ being a console exclusive, and Halo 2 sucking on Windows for years*, the entire Halo collection now has a Gold rating on Linux. I have very specific memories of being annoyed for years that the most prestigious Microsoft game doesn’t work on a Microsoft gaming platform (Windows).
*God damn does Games for Windows Live suck
Works perfectly fine on my machine I bought over two decades after the game came out, looks significantly better than when the game came out too. Not sure how much more upgradability you could possibly want.
Yeah, and as long as these things never touch the internet, there really isn’t an issue.
They are spending shitloads of money on weapons that immediately get blown up, this pushes up GDP figures. What doesn’t go up is productive work/investments that further the interest of the people of the nation, investments that would continue to reap rewards in the future.
Obviously this isn’t to say that all military spending is bad, far from it, but Russia is dumping piles money into a war they started and never needed to happen. They aren’t defending themselves from some threat, they are simply burning money and resources.
Ah, only the dozenth time this has happened and been fixed…
I’m sure Microsoft doesn’t do it on purpose all the time!
Jesus, talk about luck for the first guy. An anti-tank weapon literally rams you, then goes for someone else nearby.
Well you see, space isn’t flat in this very localized area!
You can make such a thing!
The ramps and the black and white makes me think of the pictures of the old V-1 launchers.
Yeah, it’s pretty annoying. Best thing you can do do is sub to communities that don’t have it. As an example, the linux communities are pretty big and low on politics.
Yeah, grease is a big deal. After things like bacon, drain the fat into the trash (or into a bowl and later the trash), then wash in the sink. This minimizes how much grease is entering your pipes and thus vastly reducing the need to unclog your pipes.
