Tests often have more than one variable, but if you change more than one between tests, you don’t know which variable is responsible for the change.

8·8 days agoWhen did anyone say the EU created USB-C? They passed legislature that required the mass adoption of it and are the reason Apple had to switch from that stupid lightning connector (and other companies can’t try to make their own), but I don’t see anyone claiming the EU created it.

If Apple and the Americans had their way, each of those would use a different proprietary connector.
Americans don’t want proprietary connectors. We’re happy to get USB-C, too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?
6·8 days agoyou think it’s justifiable to say that they’re suddenly tantamount to the “unskilled” labor you feel trades are left under.
I feel you’ve grossly misunderstood their arguments.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?
4·9 days agoI’m weird with this. Usually when I get a new phone, laptop or whatever, I like to use it exactly as is for at least a day or so. I like knowing what the “default” user experience is without me having to change or “fix” things first. Like playing a game without mods for a playthrough before adding big tiddie dragons.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many characteristics of a song can be reproduced in a new one without infringement? Is copying a song's title and key (e.g. D major) enough?
3·10 days agoI’m not a lawyer and didn’t look anything up beforehand so I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the only thing that is “protected” legally is the master recording of the song. Which is why things like covers and parodies are legally ok, even though they’re more or less direct copies of the song made by a different artist. But if you use the actual recording of a song (even if edited beyond recognition) it needs to be cleared by whoever owns the rights to the song.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?
1·13 days agoThe game I’ve been playing lately is the Oblivion remaster. I know the game is known to have subpar performance, but in Windows with ultra settings and RT set to low I get 130+ FPS outdoors and 180+ indoors, in kubuntu I was getting ~60-80 outdoors and ~100 indoors, CachyOS got me 80 indoors and 50 outdoors with extreme stuttering.
All running on my 3440x1440 144hz monitor.
I just installed Bazzite, we’ll see how that plays.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?
1·13 days agoI just installed CachyOS based off this recommendation, and performance is absolutely terrible right after installing. Do I need to install any drivers or change settings? Everything I see says that the drivers are baked into the kernel. But I am getting <50FPS with extreme stutters running the same settings I had on all the other OS’es I listed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?
2·14 days agoI’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT) specifically because I knew it was meant to work nicer with Linux than my 1080 did.
I might give some other distros a try when I’ve got the time. It’s a shame, I really liked kubuntu. (I know I can configure most distros to do the things I liked about kubuntu but I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that kind of thing.)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?
1·14 days agoI really want to and was mostly Windows free for most of 2025 but I can’t get my new graphics card to perform well in either kubuntu or mint. Games that will run on ultra at over 100fps in Windows will get 60-80fps on medium-high settings on kubuntu. A tear runs down my cheek every time I see people say they got performance increases from switching. Even my old hardware performed slightly worse.
