True that. Best to nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

Which country is that?

I’m looking for a new gaming laptop. It’s impossible to find any with an AMD GPU here.

I did a search on “gaming laptop with amd gpu” in DuckDuckGo and got THIS link that listed gaming laptops.

I’m sure that if you take more time than you did to reply to me to look for them, you’d find them.

AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.

As I mentioned in my comment you replied to, I use Linux, and not Windows, so can’t speak (today) towards AMD’s Windows drivers.

For me, I let Linux worry about the drivers, so I don’t have to.

Best decision I’ve ever made, PC build wise. So nice to get away from NVidia and not worry about graphics drivers.

You’re not wrong (as someone who has owned both cards) but lets be honest here, two generations ago AMD had HORRIBLE drivers/support, like epic-level WTFness bad.

They had a hole they dug themselves into to get out of, and I believe they have, and then some. But they are still battling that negative rep from that time. Some people still see them in that “hole”, flailing about, which is what I was initially pushing back against with the OP, to say that AMD is no longer in that hole.

Yep, agree! Would definately LOVE to buy an Intel GPU if they could get their drivers up to snuff.

I’ve watched a few Gamers Nexus videos where the Intel guys are interviewed and talk about their drivers work, good stuff.

Well I don’t game on Windows, so their Windows drivers could still suck. But I used to on my RX 6800 XT before switching to Linux, and I did not have driver problems with Windows at all.

My son had a 5X00 gen card, and he can’t wait to get away from AMD because of driver issues he’s having all the time, when playing LoL in Windows. I’m having a hard time convincing him to make his next card AMD because of that, even with all of the current Nvidia shenanigans going on. So, I do get where you’re coming from, drivers wise.

But all I can vouch for reliably is that my all AMD rig with a RX 6800 XT card works great, no driver issues/crashes. My biggest headache is sometimes having to select a different version of Proton for when I’m playing a game (thank god for protondb.com).

AMD seriously needs to start taking driver support seriously.

That’s been an issue for them in the past, but not recently. Last I heard, the quality of their drivers has improved allot from two generations ago.

I game on an all-AMD Linux (Fedora/KDE) rig, and I haven’t had one crash with any game that I play (via Steam/Proton).

I can’t wait for Intel to step up their game and for AMD to reengage. We really need the competition.

No, more like both 24/7.

I would argue that its ok to take care of ourselves first and foremost, but ALSO to not stop caring after we’re done with ourselves. IMO, its both.

No idea. does it look weird in the other browsers?

I only have Firefox installed, and not going to bother diagnosing the problem by installing others, as I don’t have the same problem with other web sites using Firefox/Android.

At least, I wouldn’t want to bother diagnosing the problem until they paid me my hourly rate. 😜

Sadly, 99% of people - wherever they live - won’t really do or say anything until it affects them personally.

Especially if it might hurt their income.

Well, good governance is making sure the ‘basics’ are taken cared of for everybody (voters want to be safe/happy, and want those who they love/care about to also be safe/happy), and then expanding out from there with policy to “move the ball down the field” of progress. But thats not how we govern currently.

The issue is that some people see ‘everybody’ as just their own little tribe vs everybody else, and others see it as literally everybody else besides themselves.

Then the discussions/debates get down into the mud of how much we owe it to each other to take care of each other, vs just taking care of ourselves, etc.

We, as a species, need to figure out if its “All for One, and One for All” (aka “We the People”), or, “Every Man for Themselves”. Personally, I think we have the potential to be each other’s ‘superpower’ ability, but we are a young race, and have much maturing to do still.

Have a nice day

Hang in there brother/sister, times will be better again.

Yes it’ll be a long 3 years 11 months, but still, even the laziest people usually figure their shit out at some point and change their course appropriately, and vote differently.

Sorry for becoming a cynical asshole, it’s actually a good news but I can’t help myself these days.

Hope you’ll take this criticism as honestly given, and not meant as an attack, but you’re not improving the quality of Lemmy with these kind of posts.

May I suggest, instead of making a comment and apologizing for it in the same comment, you just don’t make the comment at all?

It really sucks having to push through these type of comments.

They’re good at introducing them, just not as good at passing them.

There’s room for a lot of politics between introducing and passing a law.

Any thoughts then and what could affect one Android app but not all the other installations of the same Android app?

As a software developer, I can’t think of very many, assuming we’re both correct about having the exact same extensions installed and using the same version of the browser.

Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.

Its too nerdy for its own good. The plebs want simple. Its the way of things.
