I never heard of Titan 3 before this post. It's would be no surprise if it turned out to be bogus.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti & RTX 5060 Surfaces Up at Shipping Manifests, Confirming 128-Bit GDDR7 Memory Configuration in c/[email protected]

A PCI-E 4x4 card would run on gen 3 at x4, cutting performance in half from a gen 4x4 connection.

CPU is not quite as critical for 1440p under 120fps. At 4K the CPU is almost irrelevent. There will be a difference from CPU but single but not a visual difference if it's at least on Haswell or Coffee Lake

A PCI-E 4.0x8 GPU in a 3.0 motherboard slot will run the GPU at 3.0x8 speeds.

How does Bazzite compare to Nobara?

That would be good for government to cut funding. Users should give away their own cash to support the projects.

Funders of any project can influence decisions, but users giving from their own personal money can keep open source software free from any influences.

The 4060 and Ti is PCI-E 4.0x8 which equals PCI-E 3.0x16.

If base 5060 comes in PCI-E 5.0x16, that means it runs at full speed. I would buy that as a gift for someone.

To make it easier and more flexible, I would suggest FreeBSD on desktop and servers. For routers or firewall, there's nothing else but OpenBSD.

Can people share their impression and opinions of using Fedilab app for its functionality and interface? Is the menuing system logical? Any issues navigating around between scrolling through posts and looking for a specific function or setting?

Using Whatsapp To Check Text Spam (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

I know Whatsapp several tenants of privacy, but outside of North America, everybody has Whatsapp. We need to unify to spread the message of Signal as an alternative, not SimpleX.

Anyways, I've noticed a pattern as I do have Whatsapp, when I get random texts that looks suspicious, I use the app "Open In WhatsApp" and enter the phone number from the text to start a chat in Whatsapp, and 99% of the time it says that phone number is not registered for Whatsapp, thereby showing it is most likely spam. Of course that is not 100% of the case, as some people don't use Whatsapp, some businesses do use Whatsapp, but it can be a safe bet if the text number is not on Whatspp, it's very very likely spam and best to block without replying

I saw a post on here months of someone posted their reply to a text that said something like "Hi, my name is Sharon, who will you most likely vote for in the next election?" with a list of options. and they boastfully got suckered to take the bait and fell into the trap. By replying, they showed it was a live and valid number to now sell their phone number to other spammers. Never ever reply to a random message until you can guarantee who that came from.

Tell DOJ to investigate nVidia fraud (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Hearing about the 5090 dies with missing ROPs, that sounds between misleading and fraudulent. Having 5090s with 176 ROPs, other 5090s with 168 ROPS, that's on the die of the GPU that gets send to board partners, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, Gigabyte, etc. Whoever made the GPU, that are not to blame, they got the die of the GPU from nVidia, but obviously didn't know that part of the GPU functionality if missing.

Having GPU dies or chips sent to companies that do not match publicly stated specs from nVidia merits a legal investigation.
