00:44:23 <tomman> OK, this is new
00:44:25 <tomman> two consecutive crashes, out of the blue
00:44:29 <tomman> first time EVER
00:44:43 <tomman> wish I could took a peek at that stacktrace
14:50:07 <frg_Away> Just what I needed today:
14:50:09 <frg_Away> https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/29/vpus_all_meteork_lake_skus/
14:50:27 <frg_Away> ... he said, feature lots of AI enhancing video and making participants sounds great ...
14:51:43 <frg_Away> First software junk which you can dismiss but now hardware junk which is obsolete in a few months. No wonder Intel loves this.
15:19:40 <tomman> ah, so a Vomit Processing Unit
15:20:03 <tomman> I would say "buy AMD", but AI is the new crypto craze and soon Zen will be vomit-enabled too
15:27:54 <frg_Away> AMD gfx drivers for Windows can go to the dumpster for all I care.
15:29:09 <frg_Away> Needed to pick the Windows 7 drivers for server 2016 and the Windows drivers are now worse with telemetry than Nvidia ever was. Even installing a kernel driver for this lately.
15:29:24 <tomman> e
15:29:26 <tomman> ew
15:32:46 <frg_Away> If it were not for Linux on my backup server I would now running Nvidia all around. And I am no Nvidia lover...
15:33:21 <tomman> time to dust off the Voodoo 3? :D
15:33:55 <tomman> Or the good ol' S3 Trio
15:34:24 <frg_Away> I might still have a Matrox G450 somewhere in a box
19:43:17 <njsg> There's an S3 ViRGE in here somewhere...
20:15:44 <tomman> I can spare a SiS 6326, but the drivers are so poor that you'll be rushing for an ATi Rage instead :D
20:17:40 <njsg> I kind of want to someday sit down and see what made the ViRGE take three minutes to start under X11 on its original machine
