There is no AMD reference design for the 9070 or 9070 XT.

Which brand/model card do you have? There’s no “reference design,” so it matters.

🤡

This is part of how they rationalize their resistance / apathy towards movements for justice, at the very least they believe it is futile to seek justice in this life.

Sounds like bullshit an unjust leader would feed them.

I’d be kinda embarrassed to be compared to Johnny Bravo, though.

David Rudin, I guess? It says which company each person is from under their name. (The page defaults to the “Leadership” tab, so you gotta click on the “Board of directors” tab to see the correct list of people.)

Makes me wonder what he thought about Data’s offhand mention of Irish Reunification, or even if he had a hand in it (talking politics with a writer or something).

Nobody knows. Literally nobody, including him, because he doesn’t understand the code!

Huh interesting. Are these displays all the exact same model?

Yep. I like me some symmetry.

I’m not sure if this is expanded further with RDNA 4 but I can try to find out.

Thanks very much; I would love to have all three displays freesyncing!

Display setup is 3x 1440p 100Hz.

I can’t give you any new readings because I just took the computer apart to do upgrades. This one is getting a 9070 XT, and the Vega is getting handed down to my home server for (hopefully, if it’s capable of it) Jellyfin transcoding and local LLM duty.

That means I’ll still be very interested in making sure it idles properly since it’ll be doing so almost 24/7, but it’ll have to wait a minute because getting it installed isn’t my priority.

(The desktop upgrade is complicated because the new card is too wide to fit in my old case, which sent me down a rabbit hole of picking out a new SFF case and replacing supporting components like the PSU and CPU cooler…)

I killed Firefox and waited a while, and now I’m seeing 17-19W.

So I’m still on kernel 6.8, and my Vega 56 is running at 20-30W while posting this and watching Youtube. Not sure if that’s normal for that older card, or if I’ve been wasting energy for a really long time.

“Whimsical” is not a synonym of “capricious.”

Do you not understand that there’s an absolute, fundamental difference between:

“Harris needs to change her position on Gaza to win more support”

vs.

“Don’t vote for Harris; she supports genocide”

?

The former is legitimate criticism of Democrats. The latter is pro-fascist, pro-even-more-genocide concern trolling.

And before you try to say “but threatening to withhold our vote was our leverage”–NO. You DID NOT HAVE that leverage, not after the primaries were over and not with Trump as the only alternative! The stakes – the continuation of American democracy itself, on top of even more brutal destruction of Gaza – were too high for that threat to be credible, and everyone knew it. (In other words, anybody who would actually follow through on that threat was deliberately choosing more harm for Gaza and thus was never on their side to begin with.)

29% - Ending Israel’s violence in Gaza

That means 71% of non-Harris voters rejected her for reasons other than Gaza. Your citation doesn’t prove what you think it proves.

The Democratic Party needs to be burned down I am afraid.

I’m not even disagreeing with you! But permanently destroying your ability to ever replace it with anything better by plunging the US into fascist dictatorship was not the way to do it!

It is legitimately a significant thing. At last year’s con, I’m sure I saw at least hundreds of people doing carpet-patterned cosplay.

Also, here’s a video of a recent Dragon-Con parade. The carpet cult section starts at about 24 minutes in: https://youtu.be/_ft9AEq5GuA?t=1440

(There’s one Deadpool/Marriott Carpet/inflatable T-Rex cosplayer who decided to march with the preceding Deadpool group, LOL.)

Hey now, be careful about what heresy you speak; the Dragon-Con Cult of the Marriott Carpet doesn’t fuck around!

we were telling Kamala what she needed to do to win

No, you weren’t. Gaza was not the reason she lost.

And there was exactly 0% chance of screeching “don’t vote for Kamala” in October accomplishing that, and everyone knew it. The only motivation for continuing to screech at that point was to concern troll in favor of Trump.

No, in terms of proximate causes, failure to perform harm reduction did that.

If you wanted to actually fix the Democrats’ neoliberal bullshit, the time for that was in 2021-early 2024, not fucking October! Screeching about third-parties in October was purely pro-fascist concern trolling.
