I had a quick view at this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/157qa6c/rx_6600_or_rx_6700_xt_for_1080p/

It seems to me that 6700xt is much stronger than 6600. More expensive, too. Personally, I would pay some extra money 6700xt, but it depends on OP’s budget and game preference.

I’d suggest OP to consider several factors:

1. Is the game you’re playing CPU-intensive? aka Will your 3600X be the bottleneck if you have a powerful GPU?
2. Do you have a 4K/1440p monitor?

I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.

If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator

Thank you edgemaster!

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

Thank you for your assistance. Maybe it’s just a temporary network issue. Let me attach my browser info to see if anyone else have similar problems.

Old price, you need to spend 3000 annually to meet the break even of executive membership.

After increase, the break even is 3250. Considering the inflation, I think it still worth to keep the executive membership if you visit Costco regularly.

Not sure if Sams will follow this. Maybe Sams would take this chance to attract more members?

I also use Resilio Sync. It’s not open source software, but it’s self-hosted https://www.resilio.com/

There are also open source sync services, like nextcloud or syncthing

Brilliant video! After watching this video I realized that I had some myth about detergent. I’m going to

1. Switch to powder from pods
2. Buy Rinse
3. Clean my dishwasher periodly

till sold in bulk but often packaged more for breaking up and selling individually.

Brilliant!

I just found that while costco.ca removed this SKU, costco business centre added a new SKU, which is exact what I need https://www.costcobusinesscentre.ca/cascade-platinum-dishwasher-detergent%2C-93-tabs.product.2001142484.html

I guess that costco is trying to promote the more profitable, more expensive new product from Cascade.

Personally, I don’t think it worth my extra trip to biz centre for the detergent. Next time if I really need something which disappeared from warehouse, I’ll visit a business centre and check if they just moved it.

Thank you once again

Thank you for sharing it. I tried the Kirkland brand, but it had some scene remained on my dinnerware. It was very likely that I came to this conclusion due to placebo effect. It may also related to my family’s cooking style or the hardness of my water.

Well, this is my first time hearing Betterbird

After reading their feature table https://www.betterbird.eu/#featuretable I think they have a really laudable goal.

I’d suggest to check the feature table first. If there is anything you concern, you pick Betterbird. Otherwise, you can choose one randomly :)

Their DNS was down. I tried to ping 67.71.255.204 and it was not connectable. I also tried some ping tools, showing that this IP was not accessible from all over the world.

Some performance-extensive games may also work better on PS5. As OP doesn’t plan to build a gaming PC, I think a PS5 could improve the experience of lots of new games.

“just browse the internet” doesn’t indicate that you don’t need a powerful computer in 2023. Modern browsers are really heavy - and rendering websites are much more complex now.

Unless you’re really frugal about your PC budget, I think it’s definitely “to-go” for 32G

I’m a bit baffled that some people still use HDDs considering how cheap SSDs have gotten. You can get a 2TB M.2 for around $100. If you’ve got the specs for new games, there’s no excuse.

I don’t know why you got some downvotes. Buying an SSD to store the latest games is much more cheaper than buying a GPU. If one already has a powerful GPU, I don’t know why they consider an SSD “not affordable”

I’m also mounting them into /home/user/data while I don’t think hard-coding the user name in the mountpoint is a good idea. Besides, it needs the assumption that I’m the only “human-user” of this computer.

I may also mount them at /opt/data, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea

I had been using WSL2 for about one year. The experience was terrible compared to a Linux host. (Sadly I can’t change the system on my work laptop). However, it was much better than Cygwin, msys2 and powershell - based on my experience.

If your host OS is windows and you’re interested in Linux, I think WSL2 is a good way to have a try

• Find an open-source software that you’re interested in, but your main distro doesn’t provide it in the official repo. Be a packager for this software.
• Open your distro’s wiki, rewrite (or contribute, if already good enough) a page or section.
• Try the bleeding-edge version (or very-early testing) of your favourite distro, and submit some test results, regarding to your hardware.

IMHO these tasks are interesting, could learn a lot from these tasks, and other linux users could benefit from these work

I also am wondering if it’s worth renewing my plus essential

I think it’s worth for paying plus essential. There might be a black Friday promo for ps plus too. I’d suggest turn off auto renew, and wait for a few days
