Help me understand this
This is not a linux post at all, and I apologize in advance, but I am stuck and this isn't making sense to me at all.
How is this

Cooling my gpu better than this

Add context or people can't answer your questions. I'd say you're mistaken and that's a curve for more quiet, not cooler.

Probably it's not, probably what happens is that the GPU is throttling and not reaching the same performance, and with less performance comes less heat. Try running a benchmark to see if there's any significant difference in performance.

Germany is a fiefdom run by like 10 rich families and their extended families.

The motherfuckers also refused to lower catch limits on fishing in the Mediterranean, these people don’t give a fuck because they’re pretty sure climate change won’t get that bad and their wealth and power will be able to protect them from any form of civil unrest.

I’ve met these billionaires and their children they really are this callous.

Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj gained hundreds of thousands of social media followers by discussing the Gaza genocide. She was fired after a pressure campaign from Israel lobby groups that she believes aimed to silence her. Despite this, she remains unbowed.

Mailing in your taxes? CRA says changes are coming amid push to digital

The CRA says it's making changes that could impact some tax filers who want to continue using paper forms and documents as it looks to shift towards a fully digital service model.

Seems like a good idea, though what about people that choose to, or don't have internet access? Also does this account for people who file taxes in braille.

Tuya soil sensor integration

I'm attempting to add a no-name chinese solar wifi soil sensor to my HA server and have a couple questions. I was able to pair the device to the Smart Life app, add the Tuya integration to HA, link my Smart Life account to the HA integration, and recognize the device from that integration.

The device in the Smart Life app shows sensor readings for temperature, moisture, and nutrient levels, but the only sensor reading available in HA is temperature.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1. How to get HA to recognize the other sensors from this device?
2. Is there any way directly connect a device like this to HA without linking to a Smart Life account?

What's the deal with Reddit and Zelensky?

Just that. Someone uploaded this photo of Zelensky allegedly taking a selfie in Kupiansk, which is supposed to be a city already taken by Russian forces. I am not really informed of the situation in Kupiansk, but this is not the issue for me.

In the Politics subreddit, where this was published, the comments are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine, which, well, checks out. But what I find kind of trollish, are the comments surrounding Zelenksy. It's like reading the five-star comments of the Google Play Services app in the Play Store, or something. They repeatedly talk about how big and glorious are Zelensky's balls? Praising his balls, even though, he is a smaller guy? They praise the bold actions of Zelensky calling him a European hero, imagining his heroic dialogues as in some cheap hollywood movie, etc. To me, it just feels utterly fake? I mean, AI fake.

What do you make of this, guys? Please, remember, it's not about the conflict itself.

What is the AI vibe at work like for you?

I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.

They send me documents they "put together" that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren't doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.

I feel like I am living in a nightmare.

While this sounds like a good idea, leaving individual decisions to people, longterm it is quite dumb.

  • if you let an LLM solve your software dev problems, you learn nothing. You don't get better at handling this problem, you don't get faster, you don't get experience in spotting the same problem and having a solution ready.
  • you don't train junior devs this way, and in 20 years there will be (or would be without the bubble popping) a massive need for skilled software developers. (and other specialists in other fields. Better pray that medical doctors handle their profession differently..)
  • you really enjoy tweaking a prompt, dealing with "lying" LLMs and the occasional deleted harddrive? Is this really what you want to do as a job?
  • (bonus point) Would your company be ok with someone paying a remote worker to do his tasks for a fraction of the salary, and then do nothing? I doubt that. so, apparently it does matter how the work gets done.

Old enough to remember how people made these same arguments about writing in anything but assembly, using garbage collection, and so on. Technology moves on, and every time there's a new way to do things people who invested time into doing things the old way end up being upset. You're just doing moral panic here.

It's also very clear that you haven't used these tools yourself, and you're just making up a straw man workflow that is divorced from reality.

Meanwhile, your bonus point has nothing to do with technology itself. You're complaining about how capitalism works.

All the technologies you listed behave deterministically, or at least predictably enough that we generally don't have to worry about surprises from that abstraction layer. Technology does not just move on, practitioners need to actually find it practical beyond their next project that satisfies the shareholders.

Again, you're discussing tools you haven't actually used and you clearly have no clue how they work. If you had, then you would realize that agents can work against tests, which act as a contract they fill. I use these tools on daily basis and I have no idea what these surprises you're talking about are. As a practitioner, I find these things plenty practical.

I'm not assuming anything. Either you have not used these tools seriously, or you're intentionally lying here. Your description of how these tools work and their capabilities is at odds with reality. It's dangerous to make shit up when talking to people who are well versed in a subject.

Your description of the tools was to make an inaccurate comparison. But sure, I am the "dangerous" one for showing how those examples are deterministic while gAI is not. Your responses with personal attacks makes it harder to address your claims and makes me think you are here to convince yourself and not others.

I didn't make any inaccurate comparisons. The whole deterministic LLM argument was just the straw man you were making. I'm merely pointing out your dishonesty here, if you choose to perceive it as a personal attack that's on you.

If this is an example of your level of reading comprehension, then i guess it's no surprise that you find LLMs work well for you.
Your answer addresses none of the points i made, and just tries to do the Jedi-mind-trick-handwave, which unfortunately doesn't work in real life.

A bit like your ability to reason and provide arguments. But i guess that happens when you have used LLMs for too long.

At least 11 die in storm-hit Gaza from cold and collapsing buildings

By Mera Aladam
12 December 2025 10:20 GMT

Overall, at least 13 buildings - already partly damaged from Israeli bombing - collapsed due to heavy rain and strong winds, according to the Gaza-based Government Media Office. Some people remain trapped under the rubble, with others wounded.

Meanwhile, over 27,000 tents of displaced families have been destroyed or swept away by floods and strong winds. More than 250,000 displaced people have been affected by rain, floods, and collapsing shelters.

Over 4,300 distress calls have been made across the Gaza Strip since the storm began earlier this week, the Ministry of Interior and National Security said.

Despite limited resources, the ministry said search-and-rescue civil defence teams, along with police, are doing their best to help people.
