It’s open source, so I don’t know what the scam is exactly…

It’s just a less than ideal piece of software that only runs on iOS, but I assume somebody will address that.

Sure seems like they just released one last month: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/bios-and-drivers-downloads-rJ3PaCexh

Well this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen around here 🤣

1. Not sure where you’re getting this from. The value comes from buying a known Linux compatible platform at a similar price point to any other manufacturer. The Desktop is the first AMD Ryzen Max+ platform on the market in that form factor, and those chips are well above the performance of any other Ryzen chip on the market. Fair price as well.

2. This comment is disingenuous at best, and just wrong overall. They were slow on their firmware updates during their initial pilot shipments while the platform was still in validation, so they were making delayed changes to firmware in light of that until they cleared that hurdle. Been regular updates since. Also, firmware rarely decides the overall security of a hardware platforms unless known vulnerable portions are found and then intentionally NOT fixed, which is not what happened with all of that.

3. Absolutely wrong. The price point is the same as any other machine in the same segment, which is not the general consumer crap Lenovo kicks out, but the slightly elevated professional segment. If you’re not looking for that in a new device, guess what, they have refurbs at have the price. Both conditionals right there completely invalidate whatever point you’re trying to make, especially when you’re buying for the stability on Linux as OP mentioned, and it’s a crapshoot at best with any other manufacturer in their cheaper segments of machines.

I don’t know if you’re shilling for some specific point here, but you need to get informed.

Describe more about your use-case. Tuxedo is just alright, but a bit overpriced IMO.

The he absolute best performance and value laptop or desktop on the market is going to be a Framework, for instance, but maybe that’s not exactly what you want.

This should be an arrestable offense. Fuck these pieces of shit.

The docs I linked to LITERALLY explain what it is, how it works, and the mechanics behind it. Not until DLSS 4 released earlier this year do the docs mention any kind of way to employ the use of of models to anything at all.

I mean…I guess thanks for the stepping off point? Android has the Briar Project, which couldn’t be distributed for iOS due to Apple’s license fuckery. I’m at least curious enough to look through this and see what they’ve done different.

I think the most useless part of this is using BT only which has a range of what…40ft?

You didn’t read up on it huh?

Hilarious.

I’m well aware. You’re proving my point at mount.

If course you don’t. That’s why you side with Trump. The fact that “trickle down economics” has been disproven time and time again means nothing to you folks.

How are you going to boot something that’s encrypted without input to unlock it?

N

Nope

And yet…

EV’s only become popular when cheaper. It’s a fact.

Not everyone lives in areas where solar installs at ean option. The offset doesn’t make sense when you go north or south of the globe where the sun don’t shine.

I 100% know what DLSS is, though by the sounds of it you don’t. It is “AI” as much as any other thing is “AI”. It uses models to “learn” what it needs to reconstruct and how to reconstruct it.

No, you don’t. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Super_Sampling

This is blatantly and monumentally wrong lol. You think it’s literally rendering a dozen frames and then just picking the best one to show you out of them? Wow. Just wow lol.

Literally in the docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/main/doc/DLSS_Programming_Guide_Release.pdf

What it does is allow you to run a game at higher settings than you could usually at a given framerate, with little to no loss of image quality. Where you could previously only run a game at 20fps at 1080p Ultra settings, you can now run it at 30fps at “1080p” Ultra, whereas to hit 30fps otherwise you might have to drop everything to Low settings.

No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all, instead of dropping to a lower resolution that your card can handle natively. That’s it.

Keep claiming otherwise, and you’re just literally denying reality and the Nvidia link to the docs right in front of you.

Attackers with physical access to a Linux system can access a debug shell simply by entering the wrong decryption password several times in a row.

Yeah, no duh. This isn’t a critical security flaw unless you have the worst partition scheme on your encrypted volumes imaginable. It’s not even a process flaw at that point, just “possible”.

This is essentially what the Israeli government did to Android a decade ago with Pegasus: if you can get in front of the bootloader, you can compromise disks once encrypted because everything is happening in an in-memory boot process.

Same way you can hotwire cars. It’s not new.

An AOC/Sanders ticket is starting to make sense, aside from Bernie’s age.

Harris needs to stay away from this next race.

Newsom is a fucking snake, and I wouldn’t for him to be prez.

Whitmer and Gillibrand both just did a fast turn to fascistic and racist bullshit.

Pritzker is a billionaire, but says the right things.

If Mamdani does great shit really fast, he could be a VP pick in 2032, but he needs to prove some shit and can’t be president.

I just feel like the field is pretty limited right now. We don’t have all the good ideas at all the right times from any candidates, but we have the best ideas right now through just a few people. Voters are desperate to displace all this bullshit that is happening right now, and we just need a better crop of candidates overall. This isn’t even on the left, but the right leaning people need to get some sane fucking choices back as well.

As much as I fucking hate Musk, he does understand two things:

1. EVs will never be the mainstream without federal and state project support
2. Funneling money from the government to billionaires is the worst thing for an economy

What I find fucking mind-blowing is that this idiot is selling a shoddy EV and solar product at premium costs to other idiots, but very much aligned with Democrats on the two points above. Not only did he back the wrong horse, he straight up accidentally got on the wrong horse, and rode it threw towns away from where he was living very comfortably.

Now this fucking moron needs to invent new ways to make Tesla appealing to the “normies” because nobody is buying his bullshit stalling tactics or premium pricing for sub-par products.

I’ve got my popcorn ready, but the siphoning of votes away from Trump is just the butter on top.

Like I said…you don’t know what DLSS is, or how it works. It’s not using “AI”, that’s just marketing bullshit. Apparently it works on some people 😂

You can find tons of info on this (why I told you to search it up), but it uses rendering tables, inference sorting, and pattern recognition to quickly render scenes with other tricks that video formats have used for ages to render images at a higher resolution cheaply from the point of view of the GPU. You render a scene a dozen times once, then it regurgitates those renders from memory again if they are shown before ejected from cache on the card. It doesn’t upsample, it does intelligently render anything new, and there is no additive anything. It seems you think it’s magic, but it’s just fast sorting memory tricks.

Why you think it makes games better is subjective, but it solely works to run games with the same details at a higher resolution. It doesn’t improve rendered scenes whatsoever. It’s literally the same thing as lowering your resolution and increasing texture compression (same affect on cached rendered scenes), since you bring it up. The effect on the user being a higher FPS at a higher resolution which you could achieve by just lowering your resolution. It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.
