2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
  • Is there any issue with buying a card that was previously used for mining?

    If used by a home user who didn't know what they were doing they might have run it hotter for much longer than a typical gamer so the thermal paste might need a redo.

    If used by some miner doing it even quasi-professionally or as a side-gig I'd much prefer it over a 2nd hand card from any typical gamer (most miners) they've kept the voltage/temps low and taken care of it far better than a gamer who might be power cycling regularly and definitely thermal cycling even more regularly.

  • Tumblr is reportedly on life support as its latest owner reassigns staff
  • It seems that way to us on the face of it but the lines that've been trotted out are firstly the worry that money is coming from an illegal source whether underaged or trafficked and secondly that money laundering could be happening, OF would be/is an extremely easy way to clean dirty money.

    They used to have to set up actual businesses that did actual work in case a genuine customer appeared, now they can buy feet pics and jars of farts or whatever.

  • Phones should have FM radio again
  • It's funny how the few who're totally sold on Bluetooth go "ugh, but then you'd need a headphone jack" as if it isn't an upgrade for others which wouldn't affect their ability to use Bluetooth at all.

  • What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?
  • Your timeline would almost certainly be a little less stupid if you did that with gusto, but people who've disagreed with you can also post things beneficial to you or post insights you hadn't thought of or post advice you'd find useful. I was a heavy RES tagger on reddit and I'd often come across well-meaning or useful posts and comments from people who'd been marked for saying jawdroppingly stupid shit about some other subject.

  • Basic human needs
  • As are crepes. Yankakes are kinda gross, the baking powder gives them a really weird squeaky mouthfeel, kinda like rubbing cotton wool between your fingers but for the mouth.

  • Deleted

  • I know in your example you're trying to give the right answer or explanation as you see it, but this is also very closely related to Cunningham's Law:

    The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

    So you're still providing a service even if it feels bad to have an expert steamroll whatever perception you had. Chances are tons of people had the same vague notion as you and your misguided logic eventually led to the correct path.

  • I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync.
  • I'd believe it's organic tbh, I was waiting for Sync or Boost to drop before I fully took the plunge. There are probably many others like me for whom those apps and others defined the Reddit mobile experience and the other apps for Lemmy (or the ones I used at least) weren't as feature rich so it's an easy choice to make.

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
  • Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.

    I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.
