Fri 20:28:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: This 2016 laptop is still fast enough to game on for the most part.
Fri 20:28:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got GTA Vice City and San Andreas Definitive Edition working.
Fri 20:28:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ San Andreas looks a lot better than it did in 2005.
Fri 20:29:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought Vice City looked impressive in 2002, but it looks terribly dated now and most of the map is pretty non-interactive.
Fri 20:40:38 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ At the moment I'm playing Open TTD....great game, one of my favourites.
Fri 20:48:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I disabled all the CPU mitigations and updated to Kubuntu 26.04 LTS even before the release.
Fri 20:48:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Canonical backed out a Intel GPU mitigation that was bringing down performance by about 20%.
Fri 20:48:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's how bad Intel has gotten.
Fri 20:49:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That people would rather live with the vulnerabilities than see their computer sandbagged like this.
Fri 20:49:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There were two options on this computer. The Iris 540 or the Intel 520, the Iris 540 being about 40% faster than the baseline option.
Fri 20:49:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have the 540 on this.
Fri 20:50:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ With Intel's security patch, the performance is more in line with the 520.
Fri 22:15:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Microsoft has clarified in its terms that Copilot is intended “for entertainment purposes only,” warning users not to rely on it for important or real-world advice.
Fri 22:15:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Microsoft made this clarification in its official Copilot terms, stating: “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.” The company emphasized that users should treat the tool as experimental and avoid depending on it for critical decisions."
Fri 22:16:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: ^
Fri 22:22:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wonder how many businesses pay a recurring fee so that their workers have continued access to copilot "for entertainment purposes only"
Fri 22:22:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and how many of them force their workers to use it regularly
Fri 22:36:45 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Yesterday I asked my friend...
Fri 22:37:34 │ 〖TMF〗 │ "Do you know the difference between Citric Acid and Sulfuric Acid"
Fri 22:37:41 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Then he said "No"
Fri 22:37:52 │ 〖TMF〗 │ I asked him again...
Fri 22:38:10 │ 〖TMF〗 │ "Which one would you consume, Sulfuric Acid or Citric Acid?"
Fri 22:38:44 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Then he thought for a few minutes and told me he'd chose Citric acid, since Citric would just mean It's sour
Fri 22:39:29 │ 〖TMF〗 │ This made me laugh like a schoolgirl, but also a little bit scared for him
Fri 22:40:11 │ 〖TMF〗 │ What do you guys remember in science class? Apparently, you're not allowed to experiment with chemicals
Fri 22:40:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd rather not consume either pure
Fri 22:41:21 │ 〖TMF〗 │ I'd rather consume pizza
Fri 22:41:25 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Mmm... pizza
Fri 22:41:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
