YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I haven't seen a recent post about this.

This is a handy tool to have for anyone sick of Microsoft's shit and those who are slowly transitioning out of their ecosystem. It forces Windows to open your default browser instead of Edge every time you accidentally click on certain links in the Start menu, the toolbar widget, or open the help page by pressing F1.

It's simple to install and also lets you customize other actions shown below:

As shown in the image, the additional redirections include Bing Discover, Bing Search, MSN News, MSN Weather, Bing Images, PDF Viewer. Additionally, you can disable CoPilot, redirect Spotlight, Bing Chat, and Windows Store Apps.

Fix the half-assed HDR support, and port the Nvidia App and Nvidia Control Panel. Then, and only then, will I finally switch.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nvidia porting their apps is on them. They could make it open source, like AMD, but until then I'd recommend not buying their hardware if you can avoid it. They make everything proprietary, so you're shit out of luck if you want something they don't care about.

I wish I could switch back to AMD GPUs, but unfortunately I like Ray Tracing and RTX HDR way too much to go back. But in the 2000s and early 2010s AMD/ATi was my GPU maker of choice.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

AMD does raytracing too. Nvidia has a slight lead for RTX, but my AMD card handles basically all the raytracing needs I have. The only time it hasn't been sufficient is with CP2077, but I don't even think the best Nvidia cards can max everything out on that yet, especially with mods.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but I play at 4K and don't accept anything less than 90-120 FPS (with DLSS, of course, since no GPU can handle native 4K gaming). Nothing from AMD can keep up with my 4090 in the RT department without sacrificing FPS, despite it being 2 years old now.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Sure, if you're spending the price of a single computer on just the GPU then yeah, Nvidia has the best (only) option. For everything/everyone else, AMD is perfectly competitive. Personally, almost all the games that use the power my GPU has I don't care for. It's only the AAA games that really push my card usually, and they're boring as hell, though they do look pretty —if only that made the game fun....

Works fine in Nobara. Maybe not use nvidia since they dont give a fuck about anything but money.
