  • I have a 3080, so 590 is fine for me. But, I’m sure the legacy one is a dkms. But the process of installing that should be done as part of the install. E.g. you install, reboot

    What does lspci -k show for the card in terms of Kernel driver in use, and kernel modules? Also what does dkms status say?

    If the module is installed and showing in dkms status and showing as used in lspci -k, it should be available for desktop environments.

    I do agree in terms of effort when things go wrong though. I remember when I was a lot younger and I had no problems just sitting in front of my keyboard finding whatever the latest problem is. Now, I want to be doing things with my PC.

    But, a bit of debugging might be worthwhile before doing a new installation.






  • I think in the case of refugees from the US (which I guess is the implication here?). I think most countries won’t accept that. Not because deep down they don’t (or won’t soon) recognize that there might be good grounds for it. But that they don’t want to poke a stick in the direction of what is a very volatile government over there right now. Especially one that has shown they’re not above just invading another country for their own ends.

    The UK will especially be unlikely to do so bearing in mind our current leader has done his best to avoid any criticism of the administration and is generally going out of his way to appease the US president. Our next leader (oh I wish I could say it won’t be him) is more likely to side with the US administration AND make asylum harder to claim.

    This seems to also be happening a lot in Europe right now. Hence why I say, you cannot count on us. Militarily we can’t do a damn thing, our leaders are doing their best to keep crosshairs pointed elsewhere, and things are only likely to get worse and not better over here.




  • Yeah, I’ve seen this video and sure the driver was at their worst causing a nuisance to ICE. I’m not convinced that should be crime worthy of a death sentence by an “agent” that thinks he’s a street judge.

    What I saw entirely contradicts the narrative the US administration is trying to pedal.

    The ICE agent was at no point under threat. Rather than move out of the way of the vehicle (which was turning away from him anyway), he stayed where he was and drew a firearm. It’s clear this move was designed to make them stop and get out of the car. Instead she (and I think in quite a valid way) panicked and tried to drive away. He fired, THEN moved out of the way and fired more. A clear, calculated move on his part.

    Objectively it’s an attempt to completely rewrite the narrative to say she weaponized the vehicle, that the agent was run over, or that he was in fear for his life. These are all very obvious lies.

    Now, I’m an outsider here. But I have to say this does make me think of other dictatorships and autocrats of the past and present. They need citizens to fear for their lives when they encounter agents of the state. This was true in Germany of the gestapo, and they want it to be true in the US of ICE. If they are successful in protecting this agent. If this does not go to trial (and it MUST be a State trial, for obvious reasons) then I fear this is the reality you will face.

    The rest of the world cannot help you. We can only watch in horror as events like this unfold.









  • Well. If it negotiates a lower bit rate I’m pretty sure the audiophile level kit will tell you it’s no longer 24 bit 96khz or whatever the cool kids use now.

    But I’m pretty sure most High bitrate systems will have some level forward error correction, when the cable cannot deliver the snr needed to repair errors the signal will usually completely drop out. It will be perfect then gone.

    Without error correction, random bit errors in digital audio are seriously jarring.

    Having high quality (in terms of screening and contacts) won’t have the kind of subtle change it can have with analogue signals. With analogue you’re fighting things that can be minor like induced noise.
