I just got GPU temp monitoring working on my old dell laptop. "Heat management" for the GPU is pretty much just an extra chunk of steel tacked onto the heat pipe halfway between the CPU and its radiator, so GPU temps are always in the red.

I might as well just turn off monitoring and remain ignorant 🀷

It's a 1/4 wave antenna with a groundplane. Physics dictates the size.

Compared to the PCB antenna in your average USB dongle, this would have at least two to three times the range, and likely more than that, because you can put it somewhere more optimal than just poking out the back of your device.

entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology

Or some math nerd will come up with an algorithm for general AI that is embarrassingly simple, and before you know it the "but can it run Doom?" crowd are implementing AI in toasters and watching them have existential crises for the lulz.

promises improved support for Wayland users by raising the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20...

What a nice fluff piece for NVIDIA. How does ditching users below 1.20 and fixing an issue in their own UI improve support for Wayland exactly?

I do wonder if ditching < 1.20 support just so happens to fix the drop down issue they were having in their UI....

Some of the biggest jumps in house prices were when interest rates were less than 2 percent and you could get a million bucks from the bank just by asking to see the manager and giving them a firm handshake.

I can agree Pauline Hanson is a problematic individual

So problematic individuals shouldn't be punished by the collective? You know what happens then? A few problematic people muddy the waters and generally make it very difficult to actually get shit done.

just for that one stunt with that burqa

There are rules in the senate. They allow for structured and robust debate, but there are limits. You don't become a "problematic individual" with just the one stunt.

Ms. Hanson is - in my humble opinion - a shit-stirrer presenting views stuck in the 1950s that do not mesh well with 21st century geopolitics. Those views are popular with a small segment of the population and she knows it. Stunts like this give disproportionate attention to that small segment at the detriment to everyone else.

I don't see that at all. Perhaps you are just projecting your own issues onto Lemmy at large. I think you need to have a good hard look at yourself and your internal biases and then come back and apologise to all of us.

they're presented in the time and place you're more likely to interact with them.

Normally about 4 to 6 days late so you're "forced" to urgently like or comment after " missing out" on something in their life.

As is tradition.

I'm not a fan of people expressing views, even when awful, having machinations of the state used against them.

Welcome to the paradox of tolerance, enjoy your stay.

Search engines should have an off button for ai,

Techbros won't let that happen, because they're all terrified that consumers will just shut off all the AI being crammed into everything and all their money will evaporate.

If you're just simulating the temperature there's pretty much just three options:

  • The thermostat will simply command the HVAC system to maximum cooling, just like with any temperature well above the setpoint.
  • The thermostat will treat that value as a faulty sensor, report "error faulty sensor", and not do much in particular.
  • The thermostat will crash due to an overflow of some sort as its software was never tested with inputs like that.

Personally, I'd go with, "error faulty sensor" as the most likely outcome.

(Edit: you can stimulate the temperature by setting your house on fire. Better to just simulate it)
