A phone CPU challenging a top of the line desktop GPU is crazy.

This attack comes less than eight months after another incident where a Ukrainian newcomer was stabbed and killed on his way to work at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Watt Street, several blocks from where Sokolova was attacked.

I'm starting to think those attacks could be ethnically-motivated. Especially asking if they are Ukrainian before attacking. I wonder if the two events are connected.

Tbh this is probably for things like DLSS, captions, etc. Not necessarily for chatbots or generative art.

I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

Fire to improve productivity???

Might look good, but with price of mobo and ram it's not worth it (i.e. might as well spend more to get a better CPU).

You want people to go downtown more? What about making it easy and safe (from stabbing) to go downtown via public transport? Rather than trams that takes 1h+ when it should be taking 20min?

Opening up the tools for becoming competitive in the market would be a good start. Crazy that it's harder to start your own farm or restaurant than to build your own web service company or open your own online clothing brand.

“The total all-in cost was about $1.7 million," says Victoria fire Chief Dan Atkinson.

Two grants from the provincial and federal governments – totalling $660,000 – bring replacement costs in line with a new diesel truck at around $1.2 million.

“Total cost to ownership is definitely lower so when we look at that total lifecycle of say a 20-year vehicle, we’re saving a lot of money in fuel over that 20 years,” said Simon Upshon, manager of fleet operations with the City of Victoria.

Seems to be a fairly financially sound decision to make. Fuel is a massive cost for a car of this size.

Take the recommendation from reddit with a grain of salt: if you are looking for a Mac alternative, you should look into the battery life before deciding. This also has a touch screen and pen, so I'd say its much more an iPad/yoga/surface alternative with better keyboard than an alternative for Mac.

Yeah below 250 would make sense. Perhaps it's better than connecting 3 screens to a laptop

What's the point of an egpu if it's an under powdered low end mobile GPU?

 

I have updated some dependencies and refactored the posting mechanism, now the bot should correctly post to Lemmy. Previously Reddit's RSS was broken, then the lemmy Python dependencies became outdated, which caused the bot to be out of commissuion for a while.

 

This trailer looks pretty promising, the art style looks somewhat similar to Monster.

 

As you might see, we've had a multiple spam posts that made it through Reddit and got reposted by the bot. There was no way to determine if a post was spam or not.

To partially alleviate this, I added a ignore list here: https://github.com/poutinetown/reddit-sales-repost-bot/blob/main/ignored.txt

If you want to add something, please make a pull request (very easy with GitHub UI, you can learn here) that only modifies the ignored.txt file by adding a new line, and briefly describe the reasoning.

If you feel a URL has been unjustly added there, please open an issue and I will remove if it makes sense. So far, the URLs were based on the removed posts.

 

A popular subreddit like /r/gamedeals is a good place to find game deals. In the BAPCS Canada subreddit, game deals are forbidden except for free games.

However, since the other game deals community are smaller/less active, would it be a good idea for this community to be a place to share Steam/Epicgames/Prime Games deals? Should there only been free games (like the subreddit), or is any discount okay?

Not sure about GoG and other platforms, but happy to hear thoughts on those as well.

 

I was wondering why the Reddit deals were no longer being shown here, especially the $1300 Dell PC with RTX3080+7700x.

It turns that bot was banned. I don't think there's any explanation available, guess bots are just not welcome in this instance?

Anyway, it was a great run, but guess Reddit couldn't be replaced in the end.

 

If i want to run an Ubuntu server 24/7 with Plex and Qbit, would it make sense to use a hard drive as home/boot drive? Or is it better to use an SSD?
