Just turn the computer off when you’re not using it.
If it’s because of bills then you’re not gonna see a significant increase in power consumption from just a computer.
If it’s because of your grid or home circuits, you have bigger problems. Washing machines and refrigerators are a big draw when the motors kick on and everything’s just fine. Hell, incandescent lightbulbs draw 100w.
Source: when I’m worried about power draw I use a kill a watt for a month on the thing I’m worried about.
Both blender and every llm library I’m aware of work better and have broader support with nvidia hardware.
That’s two out of three of the ops use cases.
Gaming, the third use case, is perfectly fine using an nvidia card.
There’s nothing wrong with amd video cards, but for this user, in this case, they’re not the choice I would recommend.
Especially if they’re just a normal person who asks questions because it’s much, much more likely that someone who uses blender or llms will be able to answer their questions and address any issues related to hardware because people using blender and llm are broadly using nvidia cards.
As a non-Wayland user, I’m glad it’s coming along.
You need to use intel/nvidia.
You might be able to get away with amd instead of intel, but nvenc and cuda support is a non negotiable thing for your use case.
You will not encounter any problems as long as you don’t run Wayland.
Any motherboard is fine. You don’t need coreboot support to run Linux.
I’m not gonna fight you and I’m happy you’re getting the experience you want.
Consider getting a replacement while the battery is still in warranty.
You ran the battery at a discharge rate that was too high for it to do its chemical reaction at the rate that allows it to maintain capacity.
Rather than looking for a solution on the off chance that you know better than whoever programmed the charge controller, why not just process what sounds like an in warranty replacement for a damaged consumable part?
You need a new battery. Don’t try to fix the problem. Replace the battery.
No.
Get dopamine from social media, not release notes.
I think you’ve got someone helping you with this who’s working with you inside the gui. Rather than cause problems by asking you to try different command line troubleshooting steps that may work at cross purposes with that other thread of assistance, I’m gonna bow out.
If you run into a wall, reboot your server and reply to this post and lll jump back in.
Okay. I didn’t realize you were using a graphical environment. Shouldn’t change anything.
When you say no actual network connection, can you show that with ip address show ens6f1?
I don’t think that’s relevant.
To employ a car metaphor, I own a small Japanese sedan. I’ve installed an aftermarket tow hitch and have used it to haul small trailers. I have a pair of toolboxes in the trunk and I live up a road that after recent events would be considered a technical driving course. I’m able to get home just fine in my small, low clearance car with a four cylinder engine and touring tires.
If a person asked me: “what vehicle should I get for towing, working in trades and off roading on the weekend?”, I’d absolutely never suggest a Honda accord.
While the experience of owning a diesel truck is more complex and requires some fiddling around, for example, remembering to use the green pump, understanding when to use the fuel cutoff switch, using a block heater when it’s cold outside, saving up more money for repairs and generally actually operating the vehicle differently under almost any comparable conditions, it’s the right tool for the job at hand and dealing with those differences is part and parcel not just of handling the tool, but completing the job.
