I don’t know about the others, but Arduino is literally just C++ with some macros/library functions.

My confusion isn’t why they’re decorated, but why the decoration is always on the downwards facing side so you can’t actually see it once installed.

I’ve never understood this about GPUs, why are they all designed so that the cool-looking decorated part with the fancy heat spreader and fans and LEDs and stuff are facing downwards?

iirc British plugs do have a fuse built in to every plug, but they are also the only ones who do that

I’m confused, is this the new version of the “Nobody:” meme format?

“If everyone could see it”

Proceeds to show an alternate future where having seen it is apparently a status symbol, which implies that not everyone is able to see it

I guess the artist just wanted to make a “haha rich people bad” joke, but surely there are other ways to make the same joke without completely ignoring the hypothetical scenario you described literally one panel before?

The longer I look at this the more uncertain I am whether or not this is AI.

The fingers look weirdly long, but all of the text is actually written and oriented correctly, but the shading across the surface of all the cards seems to change brightness randomly, …

Debian-based distros (and probably most othera as well) actually have a package called “intel-microcode” which gets updated fairly regularly.

My new laptop doesn’t support S3 sleep, it can drain the battery from 100% to 0% in less than 16 hours while supposedly “sleeping”.

GeForce GT 610.

It was the cheapest GPU available at the time, imagine my disappointment when I tried to run Minecraft with shaders and barely got more than a slideshow.

Traditional graphics code works by having the CPU generate a sequence of commands which are packed together and sent to the GPU to run. This extension let’s you write code which runs on the GPU to generate commands, and then execute those same commands on the GPU without involving the CPU at all.

This is a super powerful feature which makes it possible to do things which simply weren’t feasible in the traditional model. Vulkan improved on OpenGL by allowing people to build command buffers on multiple threads, and also re-use existing command buffers, but GPU pipelines are getting so wide that scenes containing many objects with different render settings are bottlenecked by the rate at which the CPU can prepare commands, not by GPU throughput. Letting the GPU generate its own commands means you can leverage the GPU’s massive parallelism for the entire render process, and can also make render state changes much cheaper.

(For anyone familiar, this is basically a more fleshed out version of NVIDIA’s proprietary NV_command_list extension for OpenGL, except that it’s in Vulkan and standardized across all GPU drivers)

“Better” in the sense that it actually has the ability to check for corruption at all, as all metadata and data are checksummed.

Okay, but the commenter said “my laptop with jts integrated GPU”. Obviously, laptops with a dedicated AMD GPU would be affected by this change.

Wow look at mister long dong over here reaching all the way into the water

It specifically says the change only applies to dedicated GPUs, not integrated ones.

I had a double root canal a few months ago, no anesthesia, and literally couldn’t feel anything. The nerves on both teeth were already completely dead, there was simply no sensation at all.

Paint.NET is the only Windows-only software I really miss. The closest replacement I’ve found is Pinta, but the interface is a lot clunkier and it hangs/breaks often.

The joke was that Biden is really old.
