That looks like VRAM corruption, though it’s unlikely that the only ram corruption occurs in the video ram and only when the BIOS settings are on, but maybe the issue lies in the graphics adapter in that specific video mode.

Does this happen only when entering the BIOS settings? What about during POST (when the motherboard logo is on screen) or after post when the OS is loading before the graphics driver is loaded?

• host my own opem-source software to stay independent from big tech and save my privacy (also it’s a lot of fun) • not let anyone tell me how to live my own life. You think smart working is lazy? I’m not woring for you. You think I’m weird because I don’t conform to your ideas? Don’t care. I know my worth and respect myself • learn, learn and learn new stuff. It’s nice and convenient (and usually cheaper) to have people do stuff for you, but for the most important things, it’s important that you can do them yourself, if there’s an emergency • looking forward to be self-employed. This is still a work in progress…

Freenom isn’t operating anymore and all free .ml domains are deactivated. I always wondered if the where able to keep the lemmy.ml domain because it was premium

Especially on an M1. In a different architecture you don’t have Apple’s translation layer, so you’re stuck with ARM software only

You might not like AI for what it stands or for the negative impact it has on the world, but you can’t deny that LLM like we have today are a marvel of technology, an incredibly complex technology that would have felt science fiction just a decade ago.

I think this applies to everything. The “geniuses” we praise (Einstein, Newton, Galileo) are not superhumans with access to secret knowledge that only their mind could unlock, they are just very clever and astute individual that studied a lot and figured out things by applying a mix of logic and intuition to information that everybody already had.

If they didn’t exist, someone else would have (likely) eventually come to the same conclusions. Heck maybe someone did years earlier but never told anybody.

Calculus methods was independently discovered by Leibnitz and Newton at around the same time, that’s why we have different notations for the same thing.

Don’t forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

Unfortunately that was common even before LLMs. I’ve ancountered at least half a dozen websites that mirror Stack Overflow questions, along with answers and comments, in a blog-like presentation.

I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the “brand new thing” that nobody wants and never reallt works out.

Windows 8 ia older now (13 years) than XP was when 8 came out (11 years). Feel old yet?

Windows 10 is almost as old (10 years).

I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like “fat guy funny” or “gay guy effemminate” that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry’s mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I’m pulling out the “kids these days card”, but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don’t know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I’m convinced it reduces people’s happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and throw him under the bus, so someone else will take power.

That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

Maybe I’m reading wrong, but your comment seems to imply that Tian’anmen Square was mainstream media lies?

We really live in crazy times

With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.

At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.

As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.

I don’t want any “smart” crap in my house, I don’t want my appliances to be connected to the internet and to be controlled by an app, it should all be self sufficient.

And if you really want to add the option to be controlled remotely (but should not be the only way) make it a local connection, why should my phone connect to the internet to turn on an AC located three meters away?

I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation
