I recently stumbled my way through building a PC. i got the Intel Core i7-14700k with TEAMGROUP RAM (32GB [2x 16GB]; speed 6000, 38 CL [clock latency])

after looking into adding additional RAM, I learned a little bit about CAS/CL. My question, did I make a big mistake getting 38 CL? I focused on speed, but just learned about CL. Am I greatly missing out on performance with 38, or its not that big of a deal? Is there is big mismatch here between CPU and RAM?

thanks!

I've been having a tough time with it. Maybe I'm unlucky with my hardware and setup. Spend hours this week recovering from a black screen after upgrading to F40. Issue with Plymouth + Nvidia + Luks at boot. Also getting Nvidia to work on F39, my first install. Secondary computer (laptop) macbook 2017, keyboard doesn't work with Fedora compared to Linux Mint.

I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners after my experiences. imho

This one might not have been that cheap. The malicious code was added by a maintainer on the project for two years. That is some patience

I don't like that their open-source repositories, like the android mail app, disabled public issues. Normally lots of good information can be found in issues, like known bugs or reasons why a tracker still exists in the app.

It was actually a mistake. They were removed years ago specifically for the fdroid builds, but were reintroduced at some point on accident. Annoying mistake for sure

Exciting news! Trackers being built into the Bitwarden F-Droid app for who knows how long have been removed

https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/commit/f343a2cdbb5895fb518ed963b30c0d9822db2c74

Previously two trackers were introduced: Google Firebase and Microsoft AppCrashes

I literally don't understand how people use Gnome without extensions. We must be built different or I'm slow

Can confirm. Wayland with new nvidia GPU is currently unusable even with the proprietary drivers. F39

I'm trying to learn about licensing. Why do you like AGPL-3.0 compared to others?

UPDATE: They responded to me. It is indeed the RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB (Not 16GB). The listing will appear correctly again on 1/24/2024

I know this community is mainly about building a PC, but wanted to get some opinions from the experts.

So I know very little about hardware, but wanted to move away from my old standard laptop for a gaming and local LLM inference desktop. Decided current series Nvidia GPU with 16BG VRAM would be good.

Saw this pre-order product on newegg and jumped on it: "iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop RTX 4070 Super 16GB, i7-47000F, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, Windows 11 Home" $1,799.99

Only after I realized the CPU model number doesn't exist and the RTX 4070 Super maxes out at 12GB VRAM, right? Do you think they meant the RTX 4070 Ti Super?

What do you guys think? Thanks

I'm not a heavy user of the Divested ecosystem or use the ROMs, but I'll donate to keep the options healthy and encourage good work! I wish there were a couple more cryptocurrency options like ethereum and bitcoin cash.

I've used it exclusively for 5 years for the privacy benefits. Destination and address search is BAD. Navigation is adequate.

Also important, the same tracker exists in the official F-Droid client app. Could it really be that big if a concern if it exists there too?

Love these kinds of projects. Recently been using this FOSS STT app on degoogled phone: https://github.com/ElishaAz/Sayboard (see releases for APKs)

Which has been great because I went years without STT.

This Futo looks promising with the punctuation. Now only if they publish to fdoid.

Pylance, I believe, doesn't work due to a Microsoft proprietary language server. But installing Pyright does most of the job. Something like that.
