Kepler support was dropped a while ago

Texas instruments graphing calculators have them too.

You probably don't remember these but I have a question in c/technology@lemmy.world

How old is your car? Ipod support is odd like post 2015.

I have beef with an ath9k card. My qca9377 is the slowest wifi card I've ever used. Also for that card, debian doesn't ship with support for it by default. Intel cards seem to have a better track record.

How to use legacy OpenCL in amdgpu without using DKMS on Pop OS 22.04? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I haven't found any documentation on this except "don't do it lol". Which is why I'm confused. How?

Edit: finding more info and discovering that people didn't have bricked systems after using dkms which leads me to assume that later versions of popos do not have the issue that people were trying to avoid.

I used to use Bunsenlabs before moving to popos due to popos handling the dgpu better. Thats what I'm thinking as well.

If I use no dkms and no legacy, I get the current clinfo result. No detected gpu.

Problem is that popos has their own thing that will conflict with dkms and every single tutorial or guide for installing amdgpu drivers uses no-dkms as an install flag.

I need this to do opencl compute.

I have a pretty old laptop with an AMD dGPU and I am trying to do OpenCL compute on it to make sure that device switching is handled correctly in some stuff I am testing. All the instructions I see to install amdgpu drivers is to have --no-dkms as an install flag. Doing amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms --opencl=legacy results in ERROR: using '--no-dkms' with '--opencl=legacy' is not supported

Specs:

HP Pavilion 15-br158cl

CPU: i7-8550u (HD 620 iGPU and this has working compute)

GPU: Radeon 530 2 GB DDR3

RAM: 24 GB

OS: PopOS 22.04 6.12.10-76061203-generic

Clinfo -l output

Platform #0: Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
 -- Device #0: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 [0x5917]
Platform #1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

As you can see, only the platform, not a second device. Is there anything that I am missing?

I did post this on reddit in the PopOS subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1kvza44/is_there_a_way_to_use_amdgpudkms_without_bricking/

Is Linux compatible with touchscreen/2 in 1 laptops? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Yes but your mileage may vary. My pavilion x360 had okay out of the box support for it's touchscreen. I don't remember if tilt worked.

My touchscreen is currently busted and the hinges broke the case (and probably the digitizer) so I stopped using the convertible function of it.

Depends on your major. I'm a bio/ecology major and a lot of the tools I used were cross platform or web based.

Also the university I went to did have basic Linux instructions for certain things like connecting to printers and connecting to the internet.

HMD, Lava to launch feature phones with direct-to-mobile technology, Developed in collaboration with Tejas Networks and powered by Saankhya's chipset, these phones can stream content without internet in c/technology@lemmy.world

They didn't reinvent it, they just took a tv box chip and shoved it into a phone.

Edit: the soc that they are using is worse than the feature phone soc in my old Nokia from 2008. What the actual fuck.

So they.just reinvented the DVB-T tuner.

Edit: I looked it up and it's literally just that. The fact they're shoving it into feature phones is interesting.
