well, you heard the website 😂 now install waydroid and their mobile app

well shiet 😂 seems i got unexpected +80gb storage space again, let’s see which indie studio will get a new customer. bye EA

technicians just know what’s good. unfortunately every company becomes too big for its own good and inspirationless ghouls take over 😔 the palworld thing also just shows they could be so successful if they take off the shackles and make a good game, but now they want to shackle everyone else so no one can have good games

desktop icons will only render on 5090 😎

good that the employees are predominantly debating who goes to which toilet ☺️ god forbid they notice the pay inadequacy.

😎 not to worry, corpo has directed your tax money towards righting this wrong. all will be well soon!

one of the few upvoters here 😂 this is mostly not wrong. most people don’t give a shit, don’t be mad just because you don’t like the truth. however, I’m still gonna blame billionaires, or by extension anyone with the mindset of trying to become a rich person. all of these rats actively undermine democracy using highly effective lobby campaigns. you can only blame the plebs to some degree. they’re stupid but also too stupid to fix it. meanwhile most people with higher education have no sense of compassion and just afford themselves a few more blissful years. we’re cooked, guys, time to finish what you wanted to do in life and get ready for the bad days 😂

precisely. a few years ago i thought people will become more used to cyberspace and at some point revolt against digital blackboxes as much as if the builders or housing agents would put actual blackboxes into people’s homes. but no, digital literacy is going down, i guess the newest generation doesn’t even know that we had start menus without candy crush ads at some point 😔

billionaires and their super important opinions eh? having money is a personality trait apparently

your sis needs to make a dotfile git 😎

they look at how most of us seem to be able to pay landlords and got jealous 😂

I’ll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a “privacy infringement” onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn’t even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

I’ll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone’s skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.

That’s precisely the SSD PCIe solution that I bought. ^^ Yeah, might have to redistribute… Thanks for letting me know about the compatibility listing, I wasn’t aware of it. I’ll check if I can get one of those second hand.

Edit: I’m slightly worried about ASUS as a mainboard supplier though because of their recent rootkit escapades…

It’s a MSI X470 GAMING PRO. Tried both upper x16 slots. The second one seems to be x8, but the first one doesn’t work either despite being x16. I have other m.2 slots but they’re already used up - however those are smaller SSDs so worst case I could move my OS to a SATA drive and populate those m.2 slots with the larger and newer SSDs that i bought! 😂

as x4/x4, but PLX would divvy it all up essentially 4x M.2 at x2/x2/x2/x2, that kinda thing. If this adapter doesn’t have it and you can’t get this to work, and you’re willing to blow another hundred bucks, that other kind of adapter would def work.

Without knowing your motherboard I’d def download the manual and ctrl+f some promising keywords such as ‘bifurcation’ or ‘PCI’ and basically hunt for anything in the manual that describes settings to enable this. Sometimes on a 3 slot board the bottom ‘chipset’ slot can be toggled to run something different than PCH, like some other controller.

I’d also try running the adapter in every possible configuration, on the most current supported PCI-E standards and a previous generation if motherboard allows, ie: adapter top slot, GPU middle slot, GPU top slot, adapter 3rd slot (if mobo has one), disable PCI-E 4.0 or enable 3.0 each time just to see if some configuration works (kinda tedious but costs 0 dollars so

Thanks for the hints. I’ll try to put it in gen 3.0 mode and see if I get more settings there, good idea!

ur “main” NVME SSD. Your chipset typically has like 4 or 8 more (the very bottom slot). And you have to figure out some sort of combo where that works, and they’re not combineable. What’s worse is a lot of motherboards hard wire those extra x4 pcie lanes to the M.2 SSD slots so you get no choice.

I’ve put the bifurcation card next to the CPU now and it only offers two x4 lanes. I thought zen2 should be able to handle bifurcation, so if it was directly hooked up with the CPU, I should get all four. Seems chipsets still have some influence over the first PCIe slot.

This sounds like a path I could take - just buying a mainboard like that and making it a NAS. Which board do you have there? If it’s AM4, I could get a similar one and just reuse my old CPU.

don’t know about op’s claims but one time a crack actually affected my computer - in a really goofy way. it just installed a background wallpaper that was advertising for canned tuna, all in Russian 😂 the brand didn’t even exist where i lived. also i could easily reset the background, so it wasn’t malicious at all.

That’s precisely why I didn’t blame windows in my post, but the windows-consumer mentality of “yeah install with privileges, shove genshin impact into ring 0 why not”

Linux can have the same issue. We have to keep the culture on our side here vigilant and pure near the kernel.
