Keep this up and FIFA might decide to not give Trump a second peace prize.

So it wouldn’t let me play minesweeper at 8k?

Unfortunate that you need to peel off the sticky taped ribbon cables to access RAM slots.

Lemmy.world and piefed.social are two different instances (servers) run by different people. They also run different software (Lemmy and Piefed respectively) which speaks the same protocol and can talk to each other (and other instances as well).

If you look at the same community e.g. !fediverse@lemmy.world under each instance the content should be the same: the protocol should ensure that. The interface, the way it is presented to you, might be different, mostly decided by the software (Lemmy or Piefed, or any reader client you use).

It is also possible some posts or replies made it to one instance but not the other, perhaps due to technical problems, or policy (one instance’s admin might decide to not federate with another), but you should not encounter it very often (but it certainly happens).

People choose one instance over another for different reasons. Perhaps they like one software’s interface better than another. Perhaps they feel one server is faster and more responsive than another. Perhaps they would like to subscribe to a community which is blocked by certain instances. Fortunately there is nothing to stop somebody from signing up at multiple instances, so one can just try each out and find out which one is suitable for them.

So, mission accomplished?

Carriages aren’t the same ever since they went without any horse dung.

Thanks! I’ll check them out.

Thanks! It looks just like the kind of “Arcade joystick” in my mind. I might just end up buying one.

Thanks for all the replies, sorry I didn’t reply to every one but I read them all, keep them coming please!

I am glad to hear joysticks are still popular in some circles.

Some more random thoughts:

I mostly play 4X games or other casual games nowadays where mouse and keyboard suffices or is better suited. The most recent time I spent significant time with a gamepad is Zelda OoT on an emulator. I can probably play that with a joystick I think, but some of its mini-game might need finer control with an analog stick.

Aside from fighting games, I can imagine playing 2D shooters with a joystick. Metroidvania games too, but some of them have functions assigned to so many buttons I’m not sure a joystick has enough.

Thanks, I have to look that up. I think I might have seen them on on line stores but did not look closely to recognize them for what they were. I thought they were for games that doesn’t need stick control, like music game or such.

She has a Clippy fetish?

I wonder if they do it on phones as well. Not everyone has a 256GB+ device, and 4GB would be a significant chunk on even that.

Not aure what’s up with AMD, but they are not the only one:

Yes Google intended to stop sideloading but is facing backlash.

Unbuffered ECC DIMMs can be used as-is even on PCs not supporting ECC

Registered DIMMs can be unsoldered and the RAM chips reused in a pinch converting them to unbuffered DIMMs I suppose?

But reports of manufacturing capacity being moved to HBM will not benefit consumers if the bubble bursts.
