  • Why do AMD always have such a terrible response to these vulnerabilities? The article seems to suggest they’ve just decided to ignore this. They almost left zen 2 CPUs out of the Sinkclose fix and they took ages to release the Zenbleed fix for consumer CPUs despite it being available for enterprise ones when the vulnerability was released. And their microcode patches on Linux are only for server CPUs, desktop CPUs have to hope that their motherboard vendor releases a firmware update fairly quickly














  • Yeah it seems like a CPU upgrade isn’t worth it at the moment. I’m still a little unconvinced over AMD vs Nvidia though. I don’t use ray tracing much as it seems to basically function as a lag mode, but I am expecting it to be much better on a 40 series card. No idea if I use cuda or not as I’m not really sure what it is. However DLSS seems to be a lot better than FSR, and I haven’t run into any issues on Linux with my current Nvidia GPU. They also seem to be roughly the same price for the equivalent models here in the UK so AMD don’t even have price going for them. I would basically be choosing AMD for the Linux compatibility despite still doing a lot of my gaming on Windows and not having any driver issues anyway

    If it’s a service I use regularly on my phone like Lemmy then an app usually does provide a better experience. The UI is usually better optimised and they tend to load faster. However if I’m only using it once, or if I’ve just visited your site then stop trying to get me to use the fucking app! That goes for Reddit as well, I have the app installed but if I’m just trying to view a post because I googled something I don’t want to be forced into the app
