This would have been a help to Intel's foundry services plan, but on the other hand, they really don't need a lot of new debt right now.
AMD, which reports earnings next Tuesday, has finally brought 3D V-Cache to mobile. ASUS' [ROG Strix SCAR 17 X3D](https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-strix/rog-strix-scar-17-x3d-2023/spec/) will come with Nvidia's RTX 4090 mobile GPU.
This is starting to become a trend this earnings season, companies beat estimates, but forecast lower earnings for Q3.

Did they get re enabled? I noticed a downvote button yesterday and thought it might be a glitch, but it's still here today.

And you could still have them at the same price.
I think the issue is that for these companies, it's cheaper to only make one SKU that includes the adapter (or sometimes a mini and full adapter) rather than making 2 or 3 separate SKUs. That costs extra money for the separate packaging, branding, registering UPC symbols, etc. and they're not sure if there's enough demand for it. And the profit margins on SD cards are razor thin already, so there's not much room to experiment with stuff like that.
It sucks for the environment.

Just because it's less that becomes e-waste since I don't need them.

Because I don't use them. I either keep them in a pile at the bottom of a drawer or they go to a landfill.

Fair enough. But if you don't click the buttons, nothing happens. Or maybe there could be a "Don't filter anything" setting in your profile so you don't get the buttons at all.

I'd like the same thing. Plus I see a lot of posts asking for it too.
Hopefully the devs can add an "I'd like to see less/more of this" button. The next question is, how does the algorithm decide which posts to allow, is it by most upvotes, most recent, most comments, most controversial (lots of upvotes and downvotes), etc. Just brainstorming.

Update: I decided to go with the ASUS, because why not, life is too short. Anyway, the last 4 days have been an adventure, searching the internet for hacks and workarounds to get this thing working. The key points in case anyone else bought the same model (FA617NS):
- I had to load the most recent Kubuntu 23.10, that got the wireless working, but still no keyboard. I had to use a USB keyboard.
- On Sunday, I installed the newest unstable kernel, literally released that day, which got the keyboard working. That was a lucky break - this thing was released back in February.
- Games were selecting the integrated GPU instead of the discrete, but I found a Youtube video that helped me fix that.
- I spent two days trying to figure out why Steam games lock up in fullscreen mode (seriously, it was only Proton games using DXVK). Never did find the cause or a real solution, but forcing Vsync ON using Mangohud stops the issue.
It was a hell of a journey, but it was worth it. That thing runs like a scalded dog. It runs Spider-Man Remastered with ray-tracing (not great, but it runs). I haven't installed a lot of games, but so far everything runs at 90fps or greater on medium/high settings.
All the basic stuff works, function keys to control LED lighting, sound, wifi, bluetooth, battery mgmt, etc. The only buttons that don't do anything are the Armory Crate (whatever that is) button, and a fan button, which apparently opens some Windows app. Hopefully I can make a video about it soon.

Not gonna lie, I didn't understand much past the 1st minute and a half. All I know is that CPU renders the BMW benchmark faster than both my GPUs together.

I'd say go for it. Even if you don't make a lot of content right away, you can still get a feel for how Peertube works, how to set up your channels, add thumbnails, how to automate closed captioning, etc.
Plus the hardest part will be choosing an instance, looking at the videos posted and seeing if you want your videos on that instance (extreme politics, NSFW stuff, etc). Plus see what their instance rules are; anyplace that says everyone is welcome here is eventually going to become a gathering spot for a--holes that got banned somewhere else.
I started my channel about a month ago during the Reddit migration. So far I've fallen behind on putting out videos, but it's still a fun hobby.

Additionally, if your server disappears *cough* VLemmy *cough* you should be able to load a backup from somewhere and register your channels on another server. I realize this is still a crawl-walk-run scenario and that's going to be far in the future. But we can still hope for it.
These are outtakes from my earlier sim. Unfortunately, my account got wiped out along with Vlemmy, so if you can't see it, here's the [link](https://libre.video/videos/watch/ce9d3a65-e311-4ae8-866b-a78fa20692dd) to the previous one.

Thanks. I guess Lenovo would be the safe choice. I've heard they work pretty well with Linux.

Thanks. I didn't want to make the original post too wordy, but I have an ASUS B550 in my desktop(running Kubuntu) and I love it. It's the only mobo I have that lets me disable the onboard RGB from the BIOS. With MSI, I have to use a 3rd party app.
But I have little experience with laptops. I have heard good things about Lenovo.
I'm looking for a laptop to use while I'm away from home (Already have a desktop). My requirements are: - Recent (Zen 3 or 4) 8-core CPU - 16Gb RAM minimum - RDNA 2 graphics at a minimum - A non-gaming keyboard (no weird colored keys and RGB can be disabled) - budget: $1200 or so A discrete GPU isn't necessary, but if do I get one, it might as well have 8Gb, so the 3050/3060/4050 are out. I'll mostly use it for web browsing, video editing, light Blender use, and light gaming. Anything will be an upgrade over what I'm using [now](https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-2000-369WM-E-450-1-65-GHz-Win-7-Home-Premium-64-bit-4-GB-RAM-500-HDD-DVD-SuperMulti-15-6-HD-BrightView-1366-x-768-HD-Radeon-6320-AMD-VISION-charco/17270249). My primary choice right now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-16-165hz-gaming-laptop-fhd-amd-ryzen-7-7735hs-with-16gb-ddr5-memory-radeon-rx7600s-512gb-pcie-ssd-off-black/6535499.p?skuId=6535499 And the budget alternative: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-yoga-7-16-wuxga-2-in-1-touch-screen-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-7735u-16gb-memory-512gbssd-arctic-grey/6533951.p?skuId=6533951 Edit: using Kubuntu 😁 Any thoughts?

When it was working, did you have to put in any command line arguments or did it work on its own?
In my case, direct3d(dxvk) games always choose discrete graphics, but openGL always chooses internal and I have to force it from the command line.

"... one of those God-ugly American Pickup Trucks ..."
Why'd you say American Pickup Trucks twice?
I kid, but really those things are hideous. The front end looks like a Baleen whale feeding.

I had 3 communities I was trying to build up and now, nothing. I finally made a new Lemmy account, but I don't know if I want to restart those communities.
I'm thinking about starting my own instance (with blackjack and hookers of course) but that has its own set of headaches. I just want to make content, not spend my day being an admin.

It's working now. Thanks for the reply!
Hi, I'm a [vlemmy](https://lemmy.ca/post/1307147) refugee and came here to find a new home. The only problem is I can't upload an avatar to my profile. All I get is "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" Any ideas?
