Anything made before ~2015. You have a lot of great cars to choose from.

Furthermore: Slashdot still exists? And it still has an active community in the comments!?

Lemmy alone hasn’t been enough to replace reddit for me; I should see if I still remember my old password…

I thought this article was going to be about the microphone that comes included with aftermarket radios. I had no idea that dedicated cigarette lighter mics were a thing. No wonder why they’re shutting it down. Between the mic(s) on your phone and the mic that came with your stereo, it’s a twice redundant product. Why did it even exist to begin with? Who is this for? Someone who doesn’t own an aftermarket radio or a car made in the past decade, who also doesn’t have a phone but somehow has access to Android Auto? What were they thinking? Why would anyone buy this?

What I’ve learned from this whole fiasco after owning a problem-free 4090 for over 2 years:

1. Don’t use 3rd party connectors, and don’t use the squid adapter in the box. Use the 12VHPR cable that came with your PSU or GPU. If your PSU doesn’t have a 12VHPR connection, get one that does.
2. Don’t bend the cable near the connection. Make sure your case is actually big enough to avoid bending.
3. Make sure it’s actually plugged in all the way. If you didn’t hear a click, it’s not plugged in all the way.
4. Don’t keep disconnecting the cable to check for burns. The connection is weak and designed to fail after only a handful of disconnect/reconnects. If you followed the 3 steps above perfectly, you have nothing to worry about.

That said, I’m skipping this GPU generation (and most likely the next one as well). Hopefully in 2-4 years AMD or Intel will be on more level grounds with nVidia so that I can finally stop giving them money just to have good ray tracing performance.

I just installed it and was immediately annoyed by the auto-scrolling feature being turned on by default. Is that really how TikTok works? How does anyone put up with this shit?

That’s nothing; my Ryzen 7000 machine uses 150w at idle. Modern high-end desktops draw a lot of power.

My X670E system also uses a shitload of power. Literally 150w at idle, no matter what I do. Tried disabling every unnecessary feature in the BIOS and enabling all the energy efficient settings I can find, to no avail. Drives me nuts.

Just checked and all these supposedly “banned” subs are up and running.

Bro. Do you not know what the words “not interested” mean? I wasn’t going to read your first wall of text, and I’m surely not going to read that second one. I can’t handle the ignorance from bigots and bootlickers.

It’s literally just Shower Thoughts: The Website.

I really don’t understand the appeal.

Any post that starts with “listen up libs” immediately makes me ignore the rest of its contents. Not interested in your MAGA and/or tankie bullshit.

No not the same. Forums didn’t revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.

And I’m 37, thankyouverymuch

You’re literally using social media right now.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Lemmy is social media. There’s media on here, and we discuss it in a social setting. Literally the definition of “social media”.

And nothing of value was lost.

Thanks for giving me the idea. BRB, making a keyword filter for the words “slams” and “slammed”.

Because none of those keys are useful. AI is useful and isn’t Microsoft exclusive.

Once keyboards start adding the key, I’d be legitimately surprised if the major Distros didn’t eventually follow suit and integrate AI into their platforms as well. Hell, it might get built right into your favorite desktop environment in a couple years.

Yeah and I already do. But why make it a key combo when you could just have a single dedicated key instead?

It’s not like anyone actually uses the menu key or the right Start key anyway. 'Bout damn time Microsoft remaps them to something more useful. Next they should do the Pause/Break key. That one hasn’t been useful since the DOS days.

Actually, a dedicated key to open ChatGPT seems convenient. I don’t hate it.
