It should probably last you several years with no issues. Look at the warranty on the model you are interested in, and assume that it should last you at least that long.

If it does fail, well at least it’s just your render cache.

28GB? Are they really that stingy that can’t can’t pull the trigger on 32gb for their top of the line card? The 3090 had 24gb, the 4090 still had 24gb, and now they add a measly 4gb more? This tells me that they are probably going to keep vram mostly the same on the lower cards as well.

I don’t understand what you are asking. Do you mean you give it a picture of a cat and it speaks to you in a voice saying “this is a picture of a cat”?

I'm not referring to Diablo in particular. I am just using "level" as the standard video game nomenclature to mean separate areas or content.

Because when you are in level 1, you don't need all the assets from level 10, and it can just download what you need first.

There is an app called Object Detector which does this. It's not particularly accurate and can't recognize a lot of objects though. It does run on phones in realtime though.

Did you look at the list? It’s there.

When Japan began interacting with China, Japan did not have a writing system. So Japan had to adopt Chinese characters and shoehorn it into their own language, in order to be able to trade with China and stuff. They later invented their own writing systems. But kanji kind of just continued to hang around. I imagine that part of it is just because kanji was already so ingrained that it became difficult to get rid of. It’s kind of like saying why don’t we fix English to get rid of all the weird letter combinations and make it more phonetic? It’s kind of a big undertaking.

Kanji is also very economical from a perspective of how compact it is and how quickly it can be read. You can fit a ton of information in a very small space, and you can understand the words at a glance.

There is a funny thing among Japanese learners. Ask a beginner their thoughts on kanji, and they will often complain about how difficult it is to learn, and how it doesn’t make sense to keep kanji around. Then take someone who has spent several years studying and become fairly proficient, and ask them to read a passage that is entirely in hiragana or katakana. That person will likely complain about how difficult it is to read, because they have to look at each individual character and sound out the words.

A lot of people don’t see what their parents had to deal with, because by the time we are old enough to notice those things, they have already had a chance to work their way upward. Not to say that certain things might not have been easier back then, because in some ways it certainly was. But I hear about how my grandparents worked in a factory or joined the military because it was their only option at the time, and then I hear about how my great grandmother had 8 children to take care of as a single parent, and she walked miles to get to work in her factory job. Things have always been difficult depending on circumstances.

It varies from person to person and place to place. But generally, I would say that America is a pretty good place, but not perfect and has a lot of room for improvement.

Yes, healthcare is expensive, but we have some government programs to provide cheaper care for certain groups, like the very poor, the elderly, and veterans.

Violence varies from place to place, but I feel like I live in a safe area, and I have never seen or heard a gun fired at someone in a public place.

A lot of the bad laws typically involve disenfranchising certain minority groups. I am lucky enough to not be affected by most of this, and a lot of people are fighting back against it by trying to vote in better politicians.

I bought a cheap one a while back, and I didn’t like it. It was not a heated model, and I did not enjoy cold water spraying on my butt, especially in the winter.

At the time, I also had some painful anal issues that I was dealing with. The water pressure on mine felt quite strong and was painful for me.

I ended up switching to wipes, and they have worked wonderfully for me.

What banking or e-commerce sites don’t work through a web browser? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

At least it has a great and well recognizable name!

Everyone has their own code of ethics, but I think almost every company has some things that might be controversial or that people don’t like. Even some of my favorite companies have done things that I am really opposed to.

I would not work in a job where I had to directly do things that I was morally opposed to. But we live in a society where huge companies touch our lives in a lot of different ways. If you are too strict about it, you might find that there aren’t many jobs available for you.

Wow, it’s been like 15 years since I last heard about I2P.

Many people have become accustomed to life without ads. I have used adblockers in my browsers for probably the past 20 years. So the experience that you are talking about (just scrolling past them), is an experience that I don’t really know, unless I am suddenly using some other computer that belongs to a friend or something.

People have also gotten away from ads in their entertainment by subscribing to things like Netflix rather than cable.

Once you don’t have advertising shoved in your face 24/7, then suddenly being bombarded with it is incredibly offensive.

So instead of trying to get it running at temperatures 300 degrees warmer, just focus on trying to run it about 250 degrees warmer? Should be much easier, right?

Doesn’t it sound a little ridiculous like that?

5mb to 100kb is not a typical result, so I would imagine that you are comparing apples to oranges (e.g. a very high quality jpeg vs a low quality webp)

I use the subscription feed and it’s how I’ve always used YouTube. I certainly don’t want it giving me random notifications. It’s not like I need to drop what I’m doing during the day just because someone published a video. When I want to watch videos, I’ll go check my subscriptions.

A ton of new tlds became available a few years ago. A lot of newer sites use them, not just Lemmy servers. Older sites that have already been established for a while will obviously be using the standard endings, so if you compare lemmy sites vs well-known sites that have been around for a while, then that’s the reason.
