Linux showing its muscle

$5 + tax + $9.50 shipping and handling.
Also I didnāt know Steam Link was still a fully functional PC. Oh, wait it isnāt.
yep is insane just how much more powerful threadtripper is on Linux compared to Windows, up to 80% better on some workloads and almost always on top.
You have a hard on for old hardware, we get it.
This confuses but also doesnt surprise me.
Watch the video its quite damning that Windows just isnāt very well optimised for these kind of workloads that require that many cores.
Its almost like it was never intended to handle that many cores lol.
Meanwhile the server OS is like
Pfft. Let me eat all that hardware up k thanks

And youāve apparently forgotten what an HTPC is.
Iāll take my non-proprietary and more affordable option that actually has more than a single use. Thanks for being a smarmy fuckhead about it though. 
(Also you just paid money for a pair of the worst 775 boards in existence lol)
To sell them to some idiot, as I got them for free with two GPUs and some other stuff lol.
That or hang one on a wall and sell the other because if nothing else, the heatsinks look impressive. Thatās about all they are good for anyway is to look impressive but not actually do anything useful.
And yes, I am just messing with you because you canāt take a joke so until you can i will continue to pesker you till you leave 
I donāt know whether Iām joking or not at this point and I fully realize Iām being a dick but Iām abrasive and I know it can put people off sometimes
Also threadtripper
Not sure if spelling error or on purpose but either way it sounds amusing if said that way. Tripping up threads? Lol.

RTX demo from Remedy of Control:
That lightingā¦ goodness.
What is Northlight?: Remedy custom in house game engine.
As for RTX cardsā¦ no reviews yet. I withhold judgement till I see reviews of this card. Looking forward to GURU 3d reviews.

Writing Practice Prog Update:
Iāll finish it but I canāt give you a time-frame yet. There could be either 1 or 2 PROGs left.
The new handwritten practice maybe might publish someday kinda space sci fi story:
What do I mean by kinda space sci fi? Well the 1st two sentences will have you asking questions about the main character:
Why she doing this action?
Why did she choose not to speak?
The five sentence has you as a reader asking a question:
Why is she worried?
Iām planting doubt early in this story. This is not a light space story. It is dark.
Where did the story idea come from?:
A very simple premise. Confronting what you are to deal with the realty you face. I crafted a two sentence outline for it. Samās Wasteland Within is Dialogue driven. This is not.
I do like what I have written so far. Only five sentences but there is enough there for me to tell yeah I know where Iām taking this story.
From now on Iām going to refer to this story as Project Space when I talk about it in the future.

Iām not sure what Cyberpunk 2077 is doing at Gamescom but it will be something:
I donāt expect the game till 2020. This game has to meet the hype it has built. The market team and CD Projekt is being extra careful. They wonāt show a playable version of the game till it is ready to be shown cause they still remember what happened with Witcher 3.
Beware wolfleben rambling a bit:
Further thoughts on the RTX Announcement:
Still wait and see but it feels like it wonāt be till September or October before we get reviews for cards. Yeah there was a live announcement but this was a paper launch like affair. I could build a really decent pc rig for $1300 or make a downpayment on a new car or get the Dell XPS 13 that I plan to get in the future. Could I just get a really good graphic card that plays 4k at 60 fps for $500ā¦ Iād like that please. Granted thats a future pipedream but I donāt expect Nvida to ever grant it.
Thoughts on the state of AMD Graphics:
A new generation of cards takes time. I donāt expect anything from them this year but maybe next year in March but I really donāt have a clue. AMD is good at making middle ground cards which is good but not having cards to match the competition affects perception of the company not pushing the graphic card department. The CPU side yeah its clear they are doing well there but the GPU side needs work.
Thoughts on Intel in 2020:
Man I never thought Iād see this. A consumer graphics card from Intel. We are still a bit away from this but Iām very curious to see what they can bring to the table. The graphics card market needs competition and Intel could bring it.

First load of laundry is in the new washing machine. Sounds normal so far I guess. Needs to be seen if the jerryrigged/redneck-engineered connection to the drain works.
Update: itās leaking. not much but enough to be of concern. Two more loads to get all the piled up laundry clean and then Iāll climb behind that thing again to see if I can put more tape on it to seal it better. Sucks, though. I wanted this issue to be over already.
Update 2: decided to let it sit and fuse some more on its own. Remembered that when I used the same tape on the sinkās siphon it leaked at too initially but eventually sealed up. Gonna keep an eye on it, though, just to be safe.

Oh what a delight. The useless pieces of shit upstairs decided it would be a great idea to blast some oriental music and let their brats stomp around (something something parenting drivers license should be a thing).
Shouting at them to be quieter only seems to motivate them to increase the noise. I wouldnāt be surprised if they clash with other neighbors who arenāt just using words in arguments.
Arenāt we due for a new plague? Too many people on earth anyway.

I keep seeing all these people getting excited for RTX 20xx and Iām like
The fuck are you excited for, thereās not even any benchmarks lmao
In other news one car I was looking at sold. Oh well. Stil have to see whatās up with mine, after replacing coolant and topping off the oil it runs much less shittily so Iām hoping its just the transmission fluid gone bad but I guess Iāll see at some point soon here. Just waiting till I donāt have to use my car to go to work so I can drop the van off for a few days if need be.
Other than that HI. Its not morning but I just woke up so good morning I guess lol?
