Well at least it’s “just” software issues, software can always be fixed, but hardware issues are usually only fixable by needing to buy a new version lol

You’d think Intel would see it the same way, but no, they’ve done shit like literally just move a couple pins around to justify a new socket LMAO

Don’t you dare tease me with a good time!

Seriously tho, props to AMD for not changing the socket every other proc just for shits and giggles to make line go up. Fucking Intel.

LMAO, I was just digging in a box of parts leftover at my folk’s house the other day and got sliced on my fingertip, it felt so sharp I thought for sure somehow a razor blade had gotten in there.

Nope, it was one of those fuckers

5 years ago, that sentence would have been said jokingly or you would have been laughed at lol

Who would have guessed Intel would actually end up putting out good GPUs LMAO

You’re not dealing with a main breaker panel or something, the worst thing is probably the big smoothing capacitors which would be a hell of a shock, but unlikely to kill you.

Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you’ll be fine

watching dust accumulate in places you can’t possibly clean.

Wdym? You can take apart a PSU somewhat easily

Well we can’t risk some startup somewhere using one of those fancy distributed AI projects and a bunch of cheaper laptops with decent GPUs after all! You’re not thinking of the poor poor NVIDIA shareholders!

Yea the filename issue should be fine, there’s a risk of corruption with exFAT though as @tal@lemmy.today mentioned, but if you’re just storing steam games or other easily replaceable data, I wouldn’t worry about it to much IMO

It does look like there has been major improvements since the last time I tried this kind of shenanigans. Which admittedly has been many years, these days I just don’t bother with dual booting so I’m free to just use the native FS wherever needed for the OS I’m using OR I have an intermediary like a SAN or it’s on a VM or something

Still though, using a non-native FS in this manner is always more headaches than it’s worth, the no journaling is a corruption risk true, but so is using a non-native FS just in different ways lol

IMO, the use case for this drive is storing re-downloadable data is perfectly fine for exFAT, worst case it corrupts and you have to redownload games from steam

NTFS support on Linux has never been good, iirc it still mounts NTFS as read-only by default. You can remount it as R/W, but it isn’t exactly recommended

If you absolutely want to share the steam library between windows and Linux, id recommend either a second disk formatted as exFAT or a new storage partition on the same disk formatted as exFAT

The key here is exFAT, one of the best options for cross-OS compatibility

Edit: @biofaust@lemmy.world I just saw your reply to someone else in the thread that your steam library is on a separate drive already

So that’s perfect! Just move everything off it temporarily and format it with exFAT filesystem and you should be fine

It only took 3 hours for someone to upload the first Oblivion Remastered gooner mod

lol, I’m from a time when “official mod support” was but a dream

BOOO

Some people just want to watch the world burn

Hmm okkk lol

But yea, that’s been true for decades now, if you could find an OEM that sold the model you wanted sans windows AND offered a discount for it it’d be about 100 bucks cheaper

would be cheaper to buy the steam version and put your own windows license on it.

HERESY!

MODS!! MODS!!
