Nice to see news from Thailand that isn’t about their shitty royals.

Is a funny joke, but Yoda speaks in a consistent OSV as opposed to SVO used in English. 🤓

I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I’m forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven’t tested it under full load, though.

Can’t speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.

I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don’t need one as powerful as I’d thought I would.

Boiled?! I’m not made of money.

When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

When it comes to 3D games, if they tried for realism, they can’t, IMO. Stylized 3D can look pretty good even when fairly old, but old 3D that tried for realism just looks dated. Even a lot of 3D games now that try for a more realistic style (outside of the huge AAA studios) look kinda bad to me, but I’m very sensitive to the uncanny valley effect. I mean, even before they updated the models and world, WoW still looked pretty decent long after release.

I highly recommend Dankmus on YouTube for anyone. You can listen on other platforms but they also have accompanying videos.
