Be sure to ask it to put you in another time stream or something. Otherwise going back and forward in time does nothing, as going back also rolls back your memory of the future and going forward is just our normal experience every day. Pausing would be bad, since you would not be able to unpause (as you are paused yourself). But even if it were paused and then resumed after something indeterminate happens, you would not have experienced that pause (nor would anything else in the universe), so it might as well not have happened.

You need to be way more precise with your wording, intent and requirements. And then the genie still screws you over, that’s kinda the point of the genie figure in myths.

Sounds like an excellent idea! If you ever get tired of swapping, an USB capture card is a lot cheaper than a new GPU with current prices. Good luck!

That’s tight fit. If you really need the two capture cards then that’s the room you’ve got to work with. If you can bring it down to just one card at the top that would be a lot better. I personally use a capture card that’s connected using USB3, which works very well and doesn’t require room inside the computer (even though I would have room).

Most videocards have two or three fans on the bottom these days, with such a tight fit one of the fans can easily collide with the capture card. And even when it doesn’t it will have a hard time sucking in air from there. You can try and find a blower type card, but that would be a bit harder to find.

And you wouldn’t happen to have a GPU inside the CPU? Because the iGPUs from AMD are very solid if you don’t need much in terms of performance (easily faster than the 1030 you mentioned). Otherwise two capture cards and a GPU is a big ask in such a small case.

The A series is pretty limited, I would go for a B series if you can find it. But keep in mind drivers for Intel on Windows are terrible and on Linux even worse. So that would not be a good time.

There’s plenty of cards that would fit in 40mm, but your airflow would be pretty bad. Do you have a pic of the inside of your system? There has to be a way to make something more fit.

But most 6600, 7600 and 9060 cards should be able to fit in 40mm. And with AMD the drivers on Linux are very good.

Look for second hand stuff and something like a 6000 series from AMD. Don’t buy cheap videocards new, they always suck.

Oof, that’s a terrible card. The GP108 chip is a rebatched mobile card Geforce MX 150, it’s a pretty ancient chip at this point. There are no drivers for it, so you’ll need to use older drivers or limited open source drivers. Unless you got it very very cheap that’s not going to work very well for you. It’s newer than a GT 220, but not by much.

I think the one I have is 41mm, so that would be a tight fit. Can’t you rearrange the cards a bit to make some room? With only 40mm that would be hard to fit in any modern card.

Yeah I have a RX 7600. It wasn’t brand new, but lightly used, bought it off a friend who upgraded. Paid around $200 for it, so I think a pretty good deal with current pricing.

Yeah get a simple but recent AMD card, older cards, especially nVidia are a nightmare. I had an old 980 TI which was a really good card still, but I couldn’t use it anymore because everything kept breaking. So I got me a recent AMD card and it has been running perfectly.

It is very revealing how the people rebelling against Flock isn’t seen as the people opposing mass surveillance and data being made available to all the cops without cause, due process, oversight, restrictions or consequences for abuse, but instead as the people being against Flock specifically and the same system with a different label would be peachy.

Either they are monumentally stupid or more likely they are corrupt as hell and/or evil.

CEVA serves a lot of companies, so it isn’t just Steam, it’s a lot of them. I’ve gotten 2 mails like this related to CEVA recently.

Step 1: Sell data to AI companies Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit

They are now finding out step 2 is getting absolutely destroyed by AI not sending people along to their platform. And the profit in step 3 is for the AI companies, not for them.

These CEOs are so shortsighted it’s beyond belief. Sure Google paid hundreds of millions for the data, but in turn it’s a death sentence for the platform. But hey it was money in the short term right?

Even if it fires, it wouldn’t have much velocity. Large bullets have a lot of mass, so they need a lot of fuel to burn in order to get them up to speed. This fuel burns relatively slowly. That’s why large guns usually have long barrels as well. That allows for the fuel to completely burn and the expanding gasses to keep pushing the bullet all the way. The barrel can be too long, so usually it’s made such that a little bit of unburnt fuel comes out as the bullet exits. But with a small little thing like this, almost all the fuel would be thrown out with the bullet.

It would still be dangerous obviously, but I think much more dangerous for the person operating the device.

Why tho? You can just purchase from Steam directly?

That’s a shame, these were a fun, cheap and useful gift. Gotten them myself a few times from relatives who wanted to give me something useful instead of cheap crap or just money. Giving someone an IOU for Steam credits is a bit lame. And if you purchase them in advance, they get an e-mail and already know what the gift is.

But they are right, all kinds of gift cards are used by scammers. DO NOT REDEEM!

Sounds like a skill issue TBH

This isn’t a guarantee and also assumes the previous version management was git.

Literally 1984

It’s a good first step, but I already know they will be fine with only 300% of previous prices. They aren’t investing all this money to sell to the lowest bidder.

Do you mean highest like most drugs? Or tallest, like the one who needs to help people get stuff from the top shelves?
