Please AMD, revive ZLUDA so i can free myself from the nightmare that is Nvidia.

I would love nothing more, but unfortunately we've worked ourselves into a corner where the only way to ditch them at this point would be to re-engineer all of the external cuda-dependent code in house.

You dont need a charge controller. They're more of a safety and battery longevity feature.

If you just need to get enough juice into this thing to outrun the next horde of zombies, any dc voltage source a couple of volts jigher than the nominal charge of the battery can do in a pinch. Cracking the pack open and charging individual cells is also an option if you can't find one with a high enough voltage.

I absolutely dont recommend this under normal circumstances, but electrics are far easier to repair from scrap than combustion engines.

Fluorides, like all trace elements, naturally occur in many water sources. The reason water flouridation caught on initially was because of the strong correlation between locations with water supplies naturally high in fluoride and better dental health.

Starts off as a caving blog then pivots into a mystery that keeps you wondering if it was real.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

No, much like the 'trial by ordeal', in more religious times it was believed that god(s) would grant favour to those who were truly righteous and/or innocent, allowing them to survive an ordeal or win a fight.

It was effectively a verdict rendered by god, rather than the courts.

Is your game completely offline, or does it have automatic updates pushed via steam or similar? If a background game update changed an api call or two in the way it handles graphics, its possible that your current graphics drivers dont support the new implementation.

An ideal system would do a version check for what is installed on your system and recommend a gfx driver update before pulling down such a game update, but our world is far from ideal.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

I save all of my end of life spools for prints that I'm going to be on hand to supervise, then just spend the day hopping up to swap filaments every half hour or so as each one runs out.

Care to elaborate? Every cloud "solution" I've been pitched is just a super expensive way to bottleck everything at the router.

What is your graphics setup? I've seen similar weirdness on laptops with hybrid graphics, where attempts to use the cpu/integrated graphics cause failures. If you have such a setup, can you test what happens after putting it into "performance" mode in the os power settings, and ideally forcing discrete gpu only as a bios level?
