  • Yeah but Elon Musk thinks that camera-based self driving alone is adequate. I’m not talking about Teslas anyway. Fuck Tesla and fuck Musk. The robotaxis I ride in have several radar antennas on them in addition to the cameras, and they only drive in designated areas so there’s no worry about them ever encountering unfamiliar terrain. Plus there’s a screen in the car that shows you exactly what it sees and what its next move is going to be. That feature alone gives me peace-of-mind.

    Honestly, riding in one feels so safe and predictable, that I have no qualms about reclining the seat and taking a nap. If more people tried them, maybe they’d understand what I’m getting at.

    See this is why I prefer robotaxis. At least I know I’ll get a consistent experience every time. They all drive exactly the same way and always arrive exactly at my set pickup spot. They never cancel rides because they don’t get too lazy to find the pickup spot I set. And the best part: No tipping.

    Edit: Why the downvotes? Y’all have no idea what you’re missing out on. Radar-based self-driving cars are the future, whether you like it or not. As someone who has been on hundreds of rides, I can assure you that they’re they’re a hell of a lot better at driving THAN* (LMAO) humans. I feel much safer in a robotaxi over an unpredictable Uber/Lyft driver.



  • You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

    Fuck the haters—you don’t have to pander to them. I like crypto too, and I don’t give a flying fuck how many times I get downvoted for saying that.

    Investing in BTC and ETH has made me thousands over these past 3 years or so (I can send screenshots as proof to any naysayers). All because I ignore the haters and keep stacking sats. So why the fuck would I listen to anyone who calls it a “sCaM”? But I digress; it’s not my fault that people are stupid.






  • I’ve already tried Linux with an Nvidia GPU. The driver is bare bones. You don’t get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox… All features that I paid money to have and use daily.

    Point I’m making is that I didn’t spend a bunch of money on a 4090, onlyto not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.





  • I can’t believe that no one has asked you this question yet (fucking fanboys…):

    Do you mind losing access to most features on your GPU, including (but not limited to): RTX HDR, Shadowplay, the Nvidia App, the Nvidia Control Panel and everything it offers, including the 3D Settings page?

    If any of this matters to you, you may want to consider switching to an AMD GPU first before you consider Linux. Nvidia does not support it nearly as well as they support Windows. You get a driver that lets you run games, and that’s about it.
