    Linux distro for AMD socket 939

    Thank you for your patience with my density. As gparted did not make the choice obvious (it is there but you have to delete all existing partitions and select 'msdos' from the device menu), I just did it from terminal. Then rebooted and installed fine. I ultimately chose peppermint over...

    Linux distro for AMD socket 939

    opteron 170 https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Dual-Core%20Opteron%20170%20-%20OSA170DAA6CD%20(OSA170CDBOX).html I cant be missing drivers because the drive shows up in lubuntu. GPARTED even sees it and allows me to format it.

    Linux distro for AMD socket 939

    Tried to install lubuntu 32 bit and during the config, it did not show any disk drives. Gparted clearly shows the 164 gig ssd and i reformatted it to ext4. So I am stumped. Will an opteron run a 64 bit OS? I have a dfi lanparty venus (the 'special' version of the nF4 sLi expert). The lubuntu...

    LG 38GL950G - 37.5" 3840x1600/G-Sync/175Hz

    The GL has a g-sync module and that allows a feature no one has addressed - variable overdrive. Isn't this supposed to make stuff clearer on the screen?

    Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick Allows Students to Learn AI Programming

    Dont know how useful this would be for real time image recognition. If for example I had a usb camera and I want to recognize faces in a room, I would need a python script that 1) loops and checks for exit criterion 2) and in each loop a) grabs a frame from a usb camera b) downsizes the image to...

    NVIDIA’s RTX Speed Claims “Fall Short,” Ray Tracing Merely “Hype”

    Increased pc performance is not related to price. It’s supply and demand. If pc prices were scaled with performance, they’d be unaffordable. Even avaricious Apple keeps their flagship the same price year after year. Nvidia should be punished for their flagrant greed

    No really it could be useful in the management of so many urologic conditions. Precise measurements of the amount and type of penile/clitoral stimulation for orgasm could allow us to put a number on the degree of sexual dysfunction suffered by so many.

    Kips Bay Gynecologist - One Star

    So typical of New York . Physicians are not well paid(90-100k to start)considering the time and money required to manufacture one in the US (that’s why so many are imported). When you get 50-100$ for an office visit (less than the hourly rate for a plumber) you get what you pay for. Not to...

    DICE Ending Monthly Support For Battlefield 1 in June

    Looks like the next version of insurgency will be COD-ified as well . I think the next great game will have ai built into it that will allow procedural terrain generation.

    Microsoft Moving AI From the Cloud to Your PC in Next Major Windows Update

    If people are so concerned about Cortana phoning home, why don’t they just use their firewall? There are even utilities (like little snitch for the Mac) that monitor all outgoing traffic, and give you the option to block packets based on the program that issued it, the session, etc

    Microsoft Moving AI From the Cloud to Your PC in Next Major Windows Update

    I imagine some new uses of ai on a local machine based on it’s unsupervised learning models using data of your interaction with the pc.

    Valve Dev Jess Cliffe Arrested for Child Sex Exploitation

    This is what bothers me. Using the 'public record' as click bait. If you argue that we need sunlight to disinfect this crap, then the name of the 'accuser' should be released as well. Especially important in cases of swatting where the accuser is really the criminal. I just watched an episode...
