Reminds me of the story about Ethiopia a few weeks ago. EVs can help poorer countries to get rid of oil.

Funny though that Nepal has a higher share of EVs than most developed countries.

Definitely better than some of the DRM-riddled proprietary eBook formats.

I don’t believe he really cares about Twitter anymore.

At this point, an integration with x/twitter seems really odd.

It seems sort of a waste of resources to use a steam deck as a stationary device. However, I don’t think there is a really large market for a console-like steam machine.

It’s obviously safe then, the graphics says so.

Oh, a new post in the community for my favourite reddit app… And It’s offtopic :(

Nice app, I’m using it for a while now.

As of this source, the difference is merely 3% in performance. Not worth it, IMO.

I found a price info in the forums:

What price I can expect? Base Model 7840u 16GB/512GB will be 499$ or 4099 CNY Base Model 8840u 16GB/512GB will be 599$ or 4499 CNY

Edit: The same source says there is a touch screen

Yes, and additionally they look like human fingers

The feet look extremely creepy.

I think this is the real question. From the stats you posted, I’d say that at most 10% of Plugin hybrid owners charge their vehicles.

Which is such a waste of ressources. Why does someone buy a car with 10 kWh battery and never even use it (beyond what the car charges itself)?

Now I’m curious, in which parts of the world is the usual city speed 60-80 kmph? In the united states, most citys have a speed limit of 25 mph (40kmph), while in Europe, 50 kmph seems more common.

Thats true when the cars are driving fast, but don’t forget that much of the time cars are driving slower through the city than most bicyclists.

As expected, the Core i9-14900KS only shows marginal gains over the vanilla 14900K, with a 3.8% lead in single-threaded work and a 1.5% lead in multi-threaded work.

And all this with more than 25% TDP increase. That’s insane.

You’re right, the new open source driver does not support the 1000 series and older, only Turing (2000 series) and above.

The autotldr-bot only summarized the first page, so here are some more quotes. Basically, the performance was almost identical, with two notable exceptions.

Across a variety of demanding GPU benchmarks the NVIDIA R550 open kernel driver continued to perform on-par with the proprietary driver for these GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards.

While running Blender 4.0 the proprietary kernel driver seemed to yield slightly better performance. It was just fractions of a second but was rather consistently showing the proprietary driver having that slight advantage here, unlike in other workloads.

There was the small advantage too that during periods of brief downtime using the open kernel driver appeared to deliver slightly lower GPU power consumption than the proprietary driver.

Does anyone have an idea what’s the point with the proprietary driver now? Does it have any features missing in the open driver?

Etherpad is my personal recommendation.

Racoon is decent, free and open source.
