What GPUs work as eGPUs?

I'd like to put together an eGPU for my surface pro. It seems like you just buy the chassis and add a GPU. Is this true? Can you use any GPU?

I think YouTube might be a good resource for this kind of thing.

I think any gpu would work, but check with the vendor of the enclosure. They might have limitation for size or possibly power.

I also think there is a 10% performance loss, but maybe newer thunderbolt versions have over come that.

in reply to Ghostly

AFAIK, any. But expect performance lost due to bottoneck in bandwidth. Even the latest TB5 is only slightly faster than PCIe 2.0 x16. OCulink 2.0 can achieve PCIe 4.0 x8 which is way better, but Surface Pro have neither.

The enclosure and the ports of your laptop are the bigger factor.

You most definitely want to do extensive reviews before spending money as there tend to be lots of edge cases and issues with eGPUs.

eGPUs have all but disappeared. 90% of the models available in 2019 are no longer available with no models to replace them. Even bigger companies like razer and coolermaster seemed to silently discontinue them and simply let the product webpages break down. I think power requirements of the last years of GPUs have also made them less practical and people aren't going to pay 500€ for an enclosure when that is simply approaching the cost of the rest of the PC.

There are even fewer thunderbolt4 but thunderbolt3 has a bit of latency results in slight performance loss, so finding an old model enclosure with thunderbolt3 might be your best chance of getting it. Different storefronts sometimes still have a few in stock you can buy.

Edit: Nowhere did I say "no eGPUs have been made" just that there are signifucantly less options than 5 years ago:

egpu.io/best-egpu-buyers-guide…

Look at the vendor pages for most of these models and see if you can buy them from tge vendor or an manufacturer-listed distributer and then try to find newer, actively produced eGPUs by the manufacturers (including the big names). For the vast majority they have stopped making them.

To frame it as an example: If you saw that 30 laptop manufacturers making 100+ models in 5 years went to 3 manufacturers making 5 models, you would say that is a very rapid decline.

There are plenty of chassis available if you go looking. Some haven't been updated to newer models but remain available.

A chassis is fairly simple - its basically a bit of mother board with pcie and a thunderbolt 3+ connection. Thunderbolt 3 remains powerful enough for most uses, and ones with dedicated PSU will work with newer cards. I think the lack of new products reflects the lack of needing to change the products at the moment.

I haven't seen much about thunderbolt 4 reducing the overhead. It might do, but there are fundamental constraints in these devices as this is basically converting pcie to thunderbolt and transferring over a distance - thats not going to ever match a direct pcie connection into a motherboard no matter how fast Thunderbolt 4 or 5 are. Thunderbolt 3 may not be the main bottleneck.

The Razer Core X is still available for example. And there are loads of smaller companies woth offerings.

I think just the highest end cards would be out of reach for the popular existing chassis but there is not going to be much market for pairing cards costing 1000s with a laptop when you are far better getting a desktop. So there may not be the market to make lots of new thunderbolt 4 chassis with PSUs.

Wait, what? If power requirements are going up, then I'd say that there's more pressure for an eGPU, if anything. Laptops are limited in heat dissipation compared to desktops.

I can understand someone saying "you're better off using a desktop for gaming with powerful GPUs, if you can deal with not moving it around". But I wouldn't expect that power-hungry GPUs would make internal GPUs in laptops more desirable.

eGPUs have all but disappeared. 90% of the models available in 2019 are no longer available with no models to replace them.

I think the best you can do these days is a GPU dock that you’re also using a power supply with. I’ve been looking into such a thing for my Lenovo Legion Go as it’s got USB4 and I rarely use the thing not hooked up to a larger display.

in reply to SuiXi3D

in reply to SuiXi3D • 2 giorni fa • •

Its worth saying a GPU dock is just an eGPU. Often they use mobile GPUs and will make something more streamlined or portable. They often include a USB hub.

Most eGPU chassis are the same tech but often larger so you can install a larger desktop gpu, and have more space for cooling and even a dedicated PSU.

GPU docks have their own usefulness but you are likely to get more performance for the price by getting your own chassis and card, but less mobility and more bulky.

I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.

Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.

A desktop PC will be cheaper long term than a laptop. If you need a laptop, go relatively cheap and don't expect to use it for gaming. You can get a really solid laptop that should last 5-10 years for $600-700 (Lenovo E14 AMD base model is $700, less on sale; upgrade your own RAM though), and a decent desktop will be about $1k if you DIY. It's a higher initial cost, but in 5 years you'll just upgrade the GPU and be saving money.

The most important consideration is your laptops ports and it's cpu. You will need Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 or USB 4 to get high enough transfer speeds and bandwidth between your eGPU and the laptop. You also need a decent CPU to get the full benefits - an eGPU paired with an old or low powered CPU may mean you dont get the full benefits of the eGPU as your CPU is still a bottleneck in running the software or games that would make use of the eGPU.

Then the eGPU chassis you choose will have specific limitations in terms of size of card that will fit. You need to check these carefully to ensure the chassis can fit and support the card you want. The bigger and better the chassis the more expensive it will be. Were talking a couple of hundred pounds / dollars on top of the card price.

But in theory there isn't a limit on the cards you can use. Any GPUs that fits the chassis would work as its a standard pcie slot. However i would contend that if you want to use a top end card like a 5090 youre better off getting an actual PC to enjoy the full performance. If youre spending 1000s on a GPU it should be paired with a high end laptop or far better in an actual desktop to get the benefit. You also need to ensure the chassis can provide enough power to the card you want.

You lose about 10-15% of the cards functionality in the overhead of the eGPU. Thats because as fast as thunderbolt and usb4 are, you are transfering that to/from a pcie slot in the eGPU chassis and also transferring data over an distance via a cable compared to a gpu plugged directly into pcie on a motherboard for a PC, with direct connection to the CPU and rest of the motherboard. Newer thunderbolt and newer chassis might have lower overheads but they will never be able to completely match direct plug into a motherboard.

So yes eGPUs work, if your device can support it, and you can get big performance boosts. There isn't a limit on the GPU but you should probably not go too high end as you'd be wasting money. A low end GPU would likely out perform any integrated card or graphics for most laptops and a mid range card would likely give excellent performance if paired with a decent specced laptop. But any eGPU set up cannot match the Max performance of the card in a dedicated desktop set up.

Edit: I know you have a surface but in case others read this and have a Mac - eGPUs wont work with Apples M1/M2 CPU chips. There is no way around this. AMD and Intel chips do although newer is better.

I'm using an ancient RX580 with my Razer TB3 enclosure and it works just fine for playing older games at 1080p. Not sure I would invest in an eGPU again though, it would only cost a small amount more to build a basic gaming rig from old parts that would outperform my setup with less hassle.

No, but if your concern is just that you personally want control over the model and you don't have to be able to operate it without an Internet connection and don't need high bandwidth to the thing being run, I would at least give consideration to sticking a regular GPU into a desktop that you control and using it remotely from your laptop. This is what I've done.

I just linked to a new eGPU above. I noticed that it was the "RTX 5090 Laptop GPU". Note that the (desktop) RTX 5090 and the RTX 5090 Laptop are not the same hardware; the former is a lot more power-hungry and performs better. It may be that a desktop GPU is available as an eGPU, but I'd be aware that there is a difference and you may not be getting what you are expecting.
At least the software that I've used is specifically designed to be used remotely -- like, you typically fire up a web browser and then talk to Automatic1111 or ComfyUI or KoboldAI or whatever. I've had no problems with that.
This is power-hungry. Even if you can carry the hardware with you, using it without a power outlet handy is probably going to be a little annoying.
It's probably going to have fans spun up on reasonable hardware. I'd just as soon have the fan noise and heat not right next to me.
While the desktop probably costs something, so does the eGPU.
At least some software -- depends upon what you want to do -- does a pretty good job of queuing up tasks and churning on it, which means that you can, remotely, just look at your output and then fire up more work and then put your laptop to sleep or whatever. That's not very useful if you want to run an interactive LLM-based chatbot or something, but ComfyUI can queue up a bunch of image-generation jobs with different prompts or something.

Now, all that being said, that does have some drawbacks.

It means a desktop, if you don't already have one (though really all it needs is that beefy GPU).
It means that your laptop has to have some form of Internet connectivity. I can comfortably use it on a tethered cell phone for what I do, but it's something to keep in mind.
I am sure that there is probably some sort of software out there where you really want the GPU to be local to where you are.
You can't also use your beefy GPU for 3D games on your laptop, if that's something that you want to do. I imagine that for some people, this is a major point.
You need some way to reach the desktop remotely over the Internet.

This is not to ding eGPUs -- they're a good option for certain use cases -- but just to encourage people to at least consider the "use desktop with desktop GPU remotely" approach if their main interest is in running AI stuff.

has prompted U.S. tech executives to question the effectiveness of tech export controls.

It worked well against Russia and the Soviet Union, but it's been my claim for years now, that this won't work against China anymore. Because China is way more advanced now than the Soviet Union ever was by comparison for the time. And all it does is delay China while they build their own competing supply industries. And the end result will be that China will just dominate the backbone industries too.

The difference is in raw power, China has 10 times the people Russia has, and an economy that in real value more than matches USA now. In short China has all the advantages for long term developments. Except for not being ahead on chip manufacturing already.

China is already competing at top level in almost all key industries, and has absolutely unparalleled manufacturing capacity. but also technologically they are in the top of EV, Batteries, solar panels, and 44 other technology areas.

As it's going we were already losing, when China was behind. There is no way we can beat them when they are ahead, unless we dramatically up our game.

I've been cursing our (Denmark) government for cutting education and reducing taxes for 20 years. Instead of increasing education, and focus and invest in the sectors we are good at.
That's what made us rich in the past, it's like they think we don't need to invest anymore, because we are economically doing fine cutting taxes and undermining the quality society we built in the past.

I dont fundamentally disagree with you, but it should be pointed out that the USSR and its proxies in the Warsaw pact had about 0.4 billion people in 1980 to the PRC's 1 billion. So it wasnt anywhere near 10x the size. The important difference IMO is that china has opened up economically, whereas the USSR stayed closed, and are acting out Lenin's maxim of "the capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them".

I assume they don’t care about the ownership of training data. So they can just train these things on all the pirated data they can get ahold of. Whereas US companies might have a slightly harder time with that.

So I'm still on the fence about the AI arms race in general. However, reading up on DeepSeek it feels like they built a model specifically to work well on the benchmarks.

I say this cause it's a Mixture of Experts approach, so only parts of the model are used at any given point. The drawback is generalization.

Additionally, it isn't a multimodal model and the only place I've seen real opportunity for workflows automation is using the multimodal models. I guess you could use a combination of models, but that's definitely a step back from the grand promise of these foundational models.

Overall, I'm just not sure if this is lay people getting caught up in hype or actually a significant change in the landscape.

You're not missing much. The author rambles for many, many paragraphs, and I don't use that word lightly. It reads like a college essay, where the goal is to produce an X-page paper, so they just cram as many quotes, attributions, and subjects as they can to pad the length.

It feels like they're trying to go for a Pulitzer, but it's just reactionary garbage that rambles on and on, jumping from topic to topic, taking quotes from scientists and philosophers from antiquity—as if their ideas were still valid today simply because they once existed. The author appears to have a lack of attention, methinks...

Also they appear to be an ADHD denialist, so fuck them.

sugar_in_your_tea

This article is BS. Here are some quotes:

What is doomscrolling if not avid reading? If people are failing to focus in some places, they’re clearly succeeding in others.

This is like saying channel surfing (flipping through Netflix or whatever videos but never picking one) is focus.

It continues:

One place they’re succeeding is cinema, which is in a baroque phase. A leading Golden Globe winner this year, “The Brutalist,” exceeds three and a half hours... Hollywood’s reliance on sequels and recycled intellectual property—we’re a hair’s breadth from a crossover in which Thor fights the Little Mermaid—may have been terrible for cinema. It has, however, made for complicated movies tightly packed with backstory and fan service.

Something being long doesn't indicate focus. I haven't seen The Brutalist, so I'll use other long movies as an example: Avatar, King Kong, and The Hobbit series. What do those have in common? It's not deep plot or complex character arcs, but action sequences. In other words, you could space out for 30 min and not miss anything.

Shorter movies require more attention and focus because they move faster, so you can't miss even 10 min (or even 5) or you'll have trouble keeping up.

As writers stopped worrying about viewers losing the thread, their shows started resembling ultra-long films. Viewers responded by binge-watching, taking in hours of material in what Vince Gilligan, who created “Breaking Bad,” has called “a giant inhalation.”

Newer shows are way less dense than they used to be. I just binged The Queen's Gambit and literally fell asleep for an entire episode and didn't feel like I missed anything. That show would've been much more interesting as a feature length film instead of a mini-series.

Or consider video games, which have grown mercilessly long.

Not because of content that requires focus, but collecting random stuff. There's actually less story and problem solving in many of these longer games than older point and click games had, and those weren't known for complexity...

But deep dives into niche topics have become the norm. The wildly popular podcaster Joe Rogan runs marathon interviews, some exceeding four hours, on ancient civilizations, cosmology, and mixed martial arts. A four-hour video of the YouTuber Jenny Nicholson dissecting the design flaws of a defunct Disney World hotel has eleven million views (deservedly: it’s terrific). Hayes himself confesses to spending hours “utterly transfixed” by watching old carpets being shampooed.

Something being long doesn't mean it requires focus.

In fact, the opposite is true. My most difficult textbook in college was something like 100-150 pages, and it took us the entire class to finish. What made it difficult was a complete lack of hand-holding, and it's perhaps my favorite pig of all the textbooks I had, and the only one I read cover to cover. It's something I can reference, so it's still useful years after mastering the material, but getting through it took an immense amount of focus.

Above all, they demand patience, the inclination to stick with things that aren’t immediately compelling or comprehensible. Patience is indeed a virtue, but a whiff of narcissism arises when commentators extoll it in others, like a husband praising an adoring wife. It places the responsibility for communication on listeners, giving speakers license to be overlong, unclear, or self-indulgent. When someone calls for audiences to be more patient, I instinctively think, Alternatively, you could be less boring.

This isn't narcissism, it's the definition of focus. It's about using your mental faculties to extract information, and it requires a lot of effort and patience. Watching a movie for a long time doesn't. If I want to learn something, I'd rather struggle for a few hours with an information dense text than watch a dozen hours of YouTube hand holding, and I'll get much more from the text than the video series.

Given this statement and the sheer length of and lack of information in the article, I think the author has a focus problem.

To ascribe our woes to a society-wide attention-deficit disorder is to make the wrong diagnosis.
Which is unfortunate, because our relationships to our smartphones are far from healthy.

Seems like the author rebutted his own argument, but fails to acknowledge it.

Don't gatekeep. It really depends on what you're reading, not where you're accessing it. A lot of the most popular books (trashy romance and self help books) require similar if not less focus vs quality online content.

That said, I think you're right it we're talking about average readers. That said, don't jump to conclusions, and instead ask what they like to read. Who knows, maybe you'll find something interesting. I wrote off graphic novels for years, and then I read one and it was quite good.

in reply to technocrit

sugar_in_your_tea

in reply to technocrit • 2 giorni fa • •

Agreed. The truth, in many cases, is somewhere in the middle.

Here's my perspective, for whatever it's worth:

smartphones are addictive, and many (most?) people wish they spent less time on them
social media is addictive, and many (most?) people wish they spent less time on them
low effort trash is addictive, and many (most?) people wish they spent less time with them

That doesn't mean smartphones or social media is causing the problem, or really any problems at all, it's the behaviors that drive people to overuse smartphones and social media that cause problems, as well as what they're expecting to get from it. It's the same idea as gambling and many forms of substance addition, something is driving them to that activity, and that is the core of the problem.

If we dig a bit deeper, I think the actual causes of this behavior involves some of the following:

poor mental health - people rely on social media for validation
peer pressure - you'll be excluded if you're not attached to your phone
escapism - many people are in tough circumstances, and use their phone/social media as a momentary escape (also includes gambling and substance addiction)

These are problems we've had for a long time, and I think we're making progress since therapy is now less taboo than it was.

That said, I do think we have a focus/attention problem. If you look at recent tech advances, it's all about getting you a faster dopamine hit. Instead of building up anticipation for a new feature film launch, we binge shows on Netflix or whatever. Instead of reading technical documentation about how something works, we follow a video, understanding very little, if anything, about what's going on. Instead of writing out messages to each other in forums, we copy/paste memes. Instead of earning stuff in games, we buy loot boxes. Everything is being designed to hit that dopamine button as frequently and easily as possible.

People are getting more used to entertainment being readily accessible, and I think that leads to overuse. Why limit how many shows you watch when you can run them back to back w/o any issues? Not having to wait for the next installment means you probably watch way more content than you otherwise would, which means you're doing less of the other things in your life that you find value in.

Self discipline is hard to master, especially when you have an easy stream of lower-effort options available. And that shift is what's causing the overuse of things like SM and smartphones and leading to attention/focus issues.

I could totally be wrong here. I'm not a psychologist, just someone on the internet that has read a few books and observed a few things.

Switching to Ubuntu from Windows is the most controversial thing I've ever done.

I haven't felt this way since I tried vegetarianism.

All that's to say I'm pretty wary of "helping others see the light." There's more than apathy out there and some people feel threatened by the idea of someone else taking steps to rid themselves of their dependence on Microsoft and the like.

Видеопояснение касается криптовалютного мем-токена $GOVNO и описания цепочки событий, которая привела к созданию этого токена.

Основной момент — использование партнёрских программ Telegram для поиска уязвимостей, создание стартапа и эксперименты с криптовалютой TON. Далее поднимаются вопросы о манипуляциях с ликвидностью в криптопроектах, таких как MAJOR, а также о системе "памп и дамп". В видео также обсуждаются массовые разблокировки TON до 2026 года и их влияние на рынок.

Таймкоды дают четкое представление о развитии событий:
1. 00:00 - Вступление и Новогоднее приветствие.
2. 01:50 - История возникновения криптоэксперимента.
3. 02:54 - Эксперимент с короткими позициями по TON.
4. 04:30 - Как был найден абуз в Telegram.
5. 09:50 - Идея и реализация "Бич-стартапа".
6. 12:08 - Создание токена $GOVNO.
7. 17:00 - Манипуляции с ликвидностью в проекте MAJOR и другие разоблачения.
8. 19:43 - Влияние синтетических токенов и проблемы с ценой TON.
9. 33:23 - Итоги "Бич-стартапа" и текущий баланс в $33 млн.

Видео в целом служит предупреждением о нестабильности криптовалютного рынка и рисках участия в подобных проектах.

I think (!) the idea is that I could text you using your fediverse handle, and that it could somehow become integrated in other fediverse services.

It makes sense through the following storyline:

Dansup creates Pixelfed
People start texting each other using direct messages on Pixelfed, making Dansup uncomfortable as it is not at all encrypted
Dansup creates sup to provide integrated E2EE direct messaging in Pixelfed/associated platforms

I have no idea if it'll be good or if it'll be used. I struggle enough to get people on Signal. But if it can somehow provide E2EE while benefiting from the social graph of ActivityPub, it might not be the dumbest thing ever.

Plex migration from Windows to Linux

Hey guys! Has anyone had success migrating a Plex server from Windows to Linux in recent years? I'm mostly concerned about losing watch history / users (having to reinvite).

I found this Reddit thread on the issue and it seemed like a simple copy and paste of the DB file. I attempted following both the official directions from their guide and from the Reddit post and ran into a SQLite DB error. It was similar to what another user experienced in the Reddit thread:

soci::soci_error() that sqlite3 prepare failed..Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: file is not a database for SQL: PRAGMA cache_size=512 (N4soci10soci_errorE)

Has anyone done a migration in the recent years? Seems like something might have changed within the last few and this copy and paste of the DB file will not work anymore?

Firstly, the proton CEO took the position of supporting Trump by saying that "they are standing up for little people". Saying that reps are good supporters of antitrust laws.
Secondly, the official proton account replied to his post and agreed on the fact that reps are more likely to defeat big corps against monopoly.
They deleted their post later. (The proton official post)
So since then we cannot stand in a corp that is promoting these people.

He doesn't have to be incorrect in order for people to feel betrayed by his comments. The commenter was answering the question of why people felt betrayed. Demonstrating the incorrectness of the CEO's take is out of scope.

I think everybody is focusing too much on the word betrayal and not enough on the being a syccophant to a would be fascist. If you don't think thats a problem because, "business," that makes you also a fascism enabler. Just because they are good at the privacy part, doesn't mean a company that cow tows to fascism can ever be seen as safe for antifascists. Currently there is a good alternative; tuta. So why contribute to a company like this. There is massive potential to betray users if they are ideologically opposed to things that proton is coming to represent. If there is the option to divert resources away from projects that express fascist sympathies, its probably wise to do so.

in reply to Tlacuachito

Ferk

in reply to Tlacuachito • 1 giorno fa • •

This specific comment thread is focused on that because that was the topic started by the choice of words of the first comment.

The conversation would not have continued in that direction if instead of doubling down there simply were an admission that what really was meant to say is not that Proton betrayed some hypothetical anti-Trump principles they had, but that they have proven now being sympathetic towards Trump and this made people feel unsafe (and some branches of the thread implied that conclusion).

What's being argued is that this is not surprising. This is as silly as thinking that Zuckerberg is a betrayer because of the recent changes in moderation policy, as if Facebook was ever on the side of any particular political ideology other than their own interests.

What makes you think tuta is against all and every policy coming from the far-right including the ones that align with their stated goal of digital privacy? If (hypothetically) tuta had some level of relationship with a left-wing party (pick your favorite) and made a post about how they are happy about certain changes that party is pushing that are beneficial to privacy, would that be a betrayal of their own principles? I would say it's not, regardless how many alt-right customers might "feel betrayed" if they had some parasocial alt-right image of tuta.

Many feel betrayed because he (partially at least) politically aligns with someone (and something) they loathe intensely. The feeling of betrayal probably comes from an implied idea that because they align on the issue of digital privacy they naturally do so in other aspects, and with the comments made by the CEO that idea is burst and someone who once felt familiar is now foreign.

Nothing in that article suggests Proton doesn't care about privacy. Every country has laws that must be abided by. Their verbage on not logging IPs was misleading but not inaccurate as they weren't until ordered to by law.

Besides that, to my knowledge all of Proton is open source and encrypted. It has been audited and proven to be secure.

Quit letting politics ruin our collective privacy by suggesting to people that Proton is now an evil company. They support Trump because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great for privacy and we shouldn't be infighting about that.

Proton has a business model where they want the user to put their eggs all in one basket. If you want that kind of userbase you need to leave your personal politics out of it. The problem isn't that the CEO is right wing. It's that he is very publicly right wing. Supports a known huckster. And lastly could be vying for a role in the administration. All of this calls into question just for how long Proton will be secure before they are selling user info to the state.

Politics are very fucking important in terms of security for whistleblowers and dissidents. They are the canaries in the coalmine as far as personal liberties go.

Umm... open source doesn't mean a lot.

Most people don't compile their clients, Proton could potentially compile a malicious version.
If you ever use the web version, they could send you a malicious javascript.
Sure, you can compile your clients, but even then, most incoming email are not end to end encrypted, Proton has access to the plaintext of almost every email you receive, things like password reset links, verification codes, etc...
They could also log any metadata. IP addressed, time of access, email address that you sent to and receive from.

Praising the pick wasn't so bad. The issues really arose when he was called out on it and chose to use Proton's official accounts to affirm his view and went on to state:

the republican party is now the party of the people and most likely to crack down on big tech
The democrats have effectively betrayed their voters in favour of corporate donations
This was Proton's official stance

It was insane boot licking and incredibly poorly thought through. It's fine for him to have an opinion but completely inappropriate to use their official accounts to spew such drivel and to state it was the official stance should have resulted in him being fired for damaging their reputation.

I’m reminded of this Nate Silver quote from the election:

Democrats, however — and here, I’m not referring so much Silver Bulletin subscribers but in the broader universe online — often get angry with you when you only halfway agree with them. And I really think this difference in personality profiles tells you a little something about why Trump won: Trump was happy to take on all comers, whereas with Democrats, disagreement on any hot-button topic (say, COVID school closures or Biden’s age) will have you cast out as a heretic. That’s not a good way to build a majority, and now Democrats no longer have one.

Not defending democrats at all, but didn't Nate Silvers polling engine consistently favor democrats polls? I would say Democrats are loosing because they have created an echo-chamber (of which Nate is a part), in which alternatives are not allowed even if those alternatives are; we shouldn't do a genocide in gaza or hey, actually the most accurate polls have consistently showed Harris losing. If they could actually listen to what their constituents want for once, maybe they could have a majority, but also if Nate Silver could stop inflating their polling they could get a realistic idea of how they are doing with their strategy of telling the proles how they should feel about the perfect, infallible Biden econony and potebtially readjust that strategy or run more popular candidates. 🤷🤷🤷

In 2024, Nate’s model accurately predicted the exact electoral map.

He doesn’t do any polling. He aggregates other pollsters, weights it based on past performance and then uses other factors (he calls them fundamentals) to produce an outcome. And I think it’s misguided to suggest that Democratic leadership is looking at Nate’s polls to reinforce their own positions.

Here’s a quote from a column he wrote for the NYT

It may even feel as though we’re Ping-Ponging between radically different futures, never quite certain what lies around the bend. Yet on the whole in 2024, polling did not experience much of a miss and had a reasonable year. Ms. Harris led by only one point in my final national polling average. And Donald Trump led in five of seven key states, albeit incredibly narrowly. The final polling averages were correct in 48 of 50 states.
The final Times/Siena national poll (including third-party candidates) had Mr. Trump one point ahead. There was plenty of data to support a Trump win.

Remember that the Biden campaign had an internal poll showing Trump winning \~48 states in a total landslide victory, but they maintained that Biden was the best candidate.

Why do people have such trust that a national ID won't be misused to further erode personal privacy? I have no idea why this policy is seen as at all positive.

(Any responses along the lines of "you've already lost your privacy" or "the government already has the data" won't convince me. There wouldn't be a push for a national ID if the scheme could be built out of the data the government already have)

in reply to wewbull

Alphane Moon

in reply to wewbull • 2 giorni fa • •

I am from Ukraine, where we have a very large uptake of digital national IDs and even government service mobile applications (municipal, health, military etc.). These service were relatively popular when launched, but there was a massive increase in uptake after the full scale invasion.

One of the main strengths of the digital national ID/mobile government services is that they are so convenient. A bureaucratic process (that was actually very simple) could take 4-5 hours waiting in line in say 2012, now it can be done almost immediately. The government constantly adds different useful modules and systems. For example, during COVID up to date vaccination status was present in the app and you could use it while travelling (at least to the EU, no clue about US). I like the Kyiv municipal app as well. It's relatively well designed and offers a bunch of services. Broad uptake also means that there are network effects; with companies and government services integrating these services (e.g. in situations where you need to confirm your identity).

I would also argue the notion of privacy isn't as linear and simple as might seem at first glance. There are legitimate situations where the government needs access to data to find traitors and collaborators. This saves lives as it weakens the russians' ability to target their air strikes. That being said, we already had a national ID system (legacy of russian occupation under the USSR) before, so you only benefit from digitization.

Polish ID's are slready digital. The question is whether you want to have it in-app or not. Also the gov bent over backwards so we can essentially do 80% of stuff online - from taxes to forms, most things can easily get done online. And why gov likes it? It reduces amount of workers and headline, because a lot can be automated, and also ensures more people will bother with shit because it's easier.

In the UK, which I had assumed this article was targeted at convincing as the Guardian is a UK paper, we already have a very good online government portal for taxes, driver licenses, car registration, and loads of other things.

Taxes use your national insurance number. Drivers license things use your licence number. Car tax uses the car registration number. Not unified. Works fine.

in reply to wewbull • 2 giorni fa • •

I don't disagree with you. There are trade offs is the thing. I'm not getting a digital ID until I'm forced, but many people are fine with it.

The other commenter from Ukraine explained it well, and to add, the Diia app they use is open source. Other countries can use it if they pay a one time "licensing fee" that is basically a donation with the from line "we're not shitbags."

According to people super into digital IDs: In terms of trade offs, especially for Americans, interoperability means unifying state and Federal systems so that you can renew your driver's license, register a car you just bought, file your taxes, and renew your passport online in the same portal. You would rarely set foot in a government office ever again. Your ID hash can be used online and IRL to validate only a part of you identification, like age, so a bouncer at a club can't take a photo of a young woman's ID and stalk her later. So there are some added privacy benefits...in theory.

Obviously, there are the same downsides to any consolidation of digital anything. A stolen phone, even a dead battery, means you have no identity anymore. Data leaks are inevitable. This likely opens the door for far less privacy online when LinkedIn or Reddit starts asking for an age or name check. But plenty of people are oblivious to that anyway. Andb the same argument was probably made in the 1950s and 1960s about paper ID cards. So once there's utility and pressire applied to having a digital ID, adoption will follow.

Prius Prime 2024 Followup: More Tests

lemmy.world/post/22892985

/c/technology was the most active by far (more so than /c/cars), so I'll post here again first.

Stats

The following stats are winter tests (10F to 30F. Or -10C to 0C).

L1 Charger from Home is 2.05 mi/kwhr (12.0 mi/electric-$$. 17.1c per kwhr home costs) in this deep cold.
L2 Charger from Work is 2.8mi/kwhr (14.0 mi/electric-$$. 20c per kwhr work-charging costs).
43 Miles per Gallon gasoline (13.9 mi/gasoline-$. $3.10 gasoline during test).
L1 Charger is closer to 2.8 mi/kwhr during 60F (15C+ temperatures).
L2 Charger is closer to 3.5 mi/kwhr during 60F (15C+ temperatures).

Conclusion: The cold (10F to 30F) has made the Li-ion batteries of this car SIGNIFICANTLY less efficient. We're at the point where L1 chargers are more expensive than gasoline, while L2 chargers are roughly on part with gasoline.

I recommend anyone who gets an EV to get an L2 charger. Not only for the convenience of far faster charges, but also because of the incredible improvements to cold-weather charging efficiency.

There were some pro-EV fans asking me to more carefully test the gasoline usage in the winter. And now you have the stats. I can solidly say that gasoline is worse during the Winter (down from EPA estimated 48), but not dramatically worse like the electric engine gets.

The above gasoline test was done over an entire week of driving to reach the 200+ miles I thought was needed for a solid test. I performed it by running out of electricity (all the way down to 0%), then driving to a gasoline station and filling up. I memorized the exact pump I filled up at.

Then, after 200 miles across a week, I came back to the same pump and filled up exactly the same. I then counted the gallons that came out of the pump and divided out based on my trip odometer. I was 203.5 miles of driving total with 4.734 gallons reported from the pump.

I own a Prius (not a PHEV though, just a hybrid) and can corroborate that my mileage goes down significantly in the winter months. It is a combination of a couple factors in my experience.

Needing to run the engine more to heat things up for defrosting and heating the cabin.
Related to the above, I tend to idle a lot more in the winter while cleaning ice/snow off the car, letting it warm up, or clearing the driveway.
Switching to winter tires (Blizzaks) negatively impacts rolling resistance compared to the LRR tires (Ecopias) I use the rest of the year.

I tend to average ~45 mpg in the summer and ~37 mpg in the winter over the past two years.

The Prius PHEV manual states that there is a battery conditioner: both battery-cooling when its hot and and battery-heating when its cold.

I assume that a significant amount of the electric charge from L1 charger is going towards battery-heating. Ex: I have a 1000W L1 charger (measured from the wall). If 100W is going to heating, then that's a 10% loss before other voltage-conversion losses. (The Prius is a 400V battery, so 110V to 400V will incur additional losses).

The L2 charger likely has 100W of heating in these cold nights as well, but at 3,300W charging, that's only a 3% loss. Far more efficient. Furthermore, 220V is closer to 400V, so there will be less voltage-conversion losses associated with L2 charging.

A lot of reasons to favor L2 charger installation. So that's going to be my recommendation to anyone doing Electric.

Who doesn't disclose where People Dispatch operates out of? MBFC? Yeah, they don't, because they're lazy hacks who's job it is to impugn the reputation of anyone doing any journalism that isn't in service of the status quo.

since we can’t know if they’re operating from a place where telling the truth is illegal.

A couple minutes of research shows that (although their contributors are all over the world) their legal entity People's Dispatch Ltd. is registered in New York. So, the way things are headed, I guess actually you might be on to something here soon 😬

Edit: I should also say that it’s important they’ve never failed a fact check. I don’t really care about them having editorial bias as long as we know what it is.

The notion that any outlet could have no bias in what they decide is and isn't worthy of reporting on, especially the people MBFC says are unbiased, is ridiculous. And it's usually not difficult to see what an outlet's bias is without relying on a 3rd party using their own bias to classify someone else's.

I post links if I'm unfamiliar with a source and look them up, regardless of their conclusions. Sometimes I'll do research on a news source if they don't have an MBFC entry and share that as well. I assume there are others who are like, "cool story but... who the fuck is this?" I hope it spares them the extra steps.

If some people don't like that, I don't care. I count MBFC downvotes as upvotes. It helps people I'm overjoyed to help and pisses off people that I'm pretty okay with pissing off. I'm not letting a bunch of greasy misinfo ghouls call the shots.

First, registering and operating are two different things. Human beings are not just bound by the laws of the country their corporation is registered in.

But... so what? If the information we have shows something that's problematic then new information becomes available that addresses our concerns... that's fine. That's how shit's supposed to work. MBFC is an information source, not the information source.

I'm not interested in someone's poorly thought out take on how they say the Guardian is quadruple Mein Kampf, or whatever. If you have links to peer-reviewed research that support those conclusions, I'd be happy to see them. You don't, though, because every bit of academic work on MBFC says those people are dead wrong.

Gustavo Petro's statement, worth a read:

Trump, I don’t like traveling to the U.S. much, it’s a bit boring, but I confess there are worthy things. I like to go to the Black neighborhoods of Washington. There, I saw a whole fight in the capital of the U.S. between Blacks and Latinos, with barricades, which seemed to me like nonsense, because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the U.S., are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered for being labor leaders with the electric chair by the fascists who are inside the U.S. just as they are in my country.

I don’t like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species with greed. Maybe one day, along with a drink of whisky—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you are looking for a stubborn person, that’s me, period. You can try to stage a coup with your economic power and arrogance, like you did with Allende. But I will die by my law, I withstood torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slave owners on Colombia’s side, we already had many and we freed ourselves. Who I want to be on Colombia’s side are lovers of freedom. If you can’t join me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of the yellow butterflies, the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, one of whom I am, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which came before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

You don’t like our freedom, fine. I do not shake hands with white slave owners. I shake the hands of libertarian whites, heirs of Lincoln, and of the Black and white rural boys from the U.S., in front of whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking through the mountains of Tuscany and after saving myself from COVID.

They are the US, and before them, I kneel, before no one else.

Overthrow me president, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia, now stop looking to the north, look to the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of that time, from the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood carries the resistant Black people who were turned into slaves by you. In Colombia lies the first free territory of the Americas, before Washington, of all the Americas, I take refuge there in their African songs.

My land is of the goldsmiths that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolívar, opposes you.

Our peoples are somewhat fearful, somewhat shy, they are naive and kind, lovers, but they will know how to win back the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all over Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, before Colombia, whom you murdered.

I raise a flag, and as Gaitán said, even if I am alone, it will remain raised with Latin American dignity, which is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather didn’t know, but mine did, Mr. President, immigrant in the US.

Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty as I do, don’t disrespect it, and it will offer you its sweetness.

COLOMBIA FROM NOW ON FACES THE WHOLE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE, AND HUMANITY.

I have been informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruit of our human labor to enter the US, I will do the same.

Let our people plant corn, which was discovered in Colombia, and feed the world.

It's better to have national airplanes pick up your nationals than to condone allow them to be transported in military aircrafts, handcuffed and who knows what else, like criminals.

To my knowledge, Colombia refused military airplanes to land/cross their airspace, while at the same time calling out the social upturn being enacted by the new american cabinet. They denounced the attitude of a wannabe dictator, and in a very straightforward way. The rest of the world should be ashamed and banding together by now.

And, again, to my knowledge, all military flights are being refused to enter colombian air space, for the reasons you are pointing. Colombia went to get their people, after giving the US a piece of their mind. By contrast, Brasil received theirs handcuffed like dangerous criminals.

That's funny.

I remember reading the push was over the US deporting colombians, on military plains, handcuffed, as if they were prisoners of war.

El Chato threats - and announces - tariffs in retaliation of Colombia not accepting such flights.

Colombia sends their presidencial airplane to ferry the deportees - to my understanding, this is akin to retrieving POWs - after which Chato Cheetah balks and the military flights are replaced by civilian freight.

Win for Colombia. They get their people back, in humane conditions.

The fascists can still turn back on these terms, granted, but then it will be back to the beggining, with the threat of commercial tariffs, etc. Colombia goes back to sending their planes to pick up their people.

No, his position has always been that the US could send migrants back, but it had to be done humanely. Petro objected to the military transports with underfed and cuffed people in it (same thing Brazil is complaining about). It's also why he sent the presidential plane to pick up migrants in a humane way instead.

After that Trump threw his hissy-fit and threatened tarriffs, Colombia reiterated that it only needs people to be taken care of properly and treated like people, and the US caved to those (imo very reasonable) demands.

The Murder of John Lang: A Cautionary Tale on the Importance of Online Privacy

I want to share a deeply concerning story that highlights the critical importance of online privacy, especially for activists and those who speak out against authority. The death of John Lang, a well-known figure in the Fresno activist community, raises serious questions about surveillance, privacy, and the potential consequences of being targeted by law enforcement.

John was found stabbed inside a burning home, and what’s particularly alarming is that just days before his death, he expressed fears that Fresno law enforcement was stalking him and might end his life. He had been vocal about his experiences with police harassment, including a disturbing pattern of unethical practices by Fresno law enforcement, such as scanning license plates in retail parking lots to generate revenue.

In his efforts to protest these injustices, John posted his thoughts on the Fresno Bee, believing he was doing so anonymously. However, it later came to light that an employee at the Fresno Bee was sharing identifiable information (IP addresses) with law enforcement, leading to John being targeted. This tragic situation serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities we face when we do not take proper precautions to protect our online privacy.

John’s case illustrates the dangers of not using tools like VPNs or Tor for online activism. Had he utilized these privacy measures, he might have been able to shield his identity from those who sought to silence him.

This tragic story serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of online exposure for activists. We must learn from John’s experience and recognize the importance of safeguarding our privacy in an increasingly surveilled world.

A spokesperson who phoned the author at 10:36 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday spent the majority of a more than 90 minute discussion attempting to pursuade this publication to stop digging into who was running the Safe Reach Solutions shell company: “I'm not trying to run you off a story, you can do whatever you want. Someone else is going to break that one,” the spokesperson continued, in an apparent reference to their process of burying the detail into a story at The Washington Post. “The next story to write if I'm you, is a piece about the humanitarian [aid] and hostages."

What pieces of shit. He subtly threatened the person trying to interview him, telling them to leave the story alone and stop looking into it.

Looking for an Android data migration tool

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?

NeoBackup is the only one I've run across that seems to really fill the role of backup and restore thoroughly. The trouble is, in order to work it needs root, so I've never actually been able to try it. Almost reason enough to root in my book 😅, I love a good back up system.

Seedvault is another fairly well developed option, but it needs to be hardcoded in to the OS by the ROM developer.

You'll probably benefit from a series of different backup apps in combination. Here's a few that I've used and benefited from:

SMS import/export - backs up all SMS, MMS, call logs and contacts. Does not backup RCS.

Applist backup - back up your installed app list. This includes data on where you installed the app from and where you can get it again along with other useful info. The apps still have to manually installed.

Aside from those two, most FOSS apps include a backup and restore function, such as: signal, neo launcher, fossify calendar, newpipe, metro (music player), aegis (2 factor), obtainium, etc...

I hope this helps. I tend to tinker and install various ROMs, so am well aquainted with the pain of setting up a fresh OS without a system wide backup program. Its not as bad as it seems though, and as long as you get your messages, contacts and call logs moved over it goes pretty smooth.

Regarding Applist, does this copy the app’s data?

I have a game on a phone I’d like to copy to a tablet so progress is not lost. App is in both devices already. Would that work?

Sorry for piggybacking on OP.

Sadly it doesn't 🥲. Copying app data is the hardest part of the process without a system level backup like seedvault, neobackup or traditional google backup services.

If you can't or choose not to use the Google provided backup solution, consider this openandroidbackup.me

Source code is here: github.com/mrrfv/open-android-…

Companion app is available on F-Droid f-droid.org/packages/mrrfv.bac…

Hope that's close to what you're looking for

If it's really just pictures and contacts, do it manually. Contacts app should have an export function. Pictures you can just copy via USB.

Messages are usually cloud-stored nowadays right? Do you have more than idk 5 different messaging apps? If you don't, and one or some of them for some reason don't store messages on some server, find out if you can do it manually, most apps should have export/import functionality (not just messaging apps btw). For standard SMS though, no idea.

I use DAVx⁵ on my android devices, so calendar and contacts are synced to a private CalDAV/CardDAV server. (I self-host Radicale, but you could pay for such a service if you don't want to host your own.)

Pictures should be easy, since they're just files. Swapping microsd cards, copying to/from a computer via USB, file transfer app, KDE Connect... there are lots of options.

By messages, do you mean SMS/text? I suggest checking your old phone's messaging app for an export feature, and trying to import it on the new phone's messaging app. If that features is missing or incompatible between versions, maybe try one of these apps temporarily, just to get the backup/restore done:

f-droid.org/en/packages/com.si…

f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fo…

Besides the files that are easy enough to move over, for app data there really is no other choice than to either haves ones that support their own export/import functionality or if you're not lucky enough to have eliminated the apps that don't have it and need their data you can only go back to papa Google and ask to politely get all your stuff for restoration on the new phone.
Takeaways:
1. If you care more about salvaging data than privacy, use a Google account on your phones, otherwise, if you still value privacy but not so much security, root a phone as soon as you get it (not always possible or desirable) so you can use other backup solutions that require root access.
2. Prefer installing apps that have an embedded backup functionality so you can be sure it's always possible to get the data out regardless of what you did about point 1
3. (Bonus) Ask for said backup functionality to be added to apps you'd like to use with a feature request on the app's repo when it's open source, I've been doing that for the past year or so and I saw that quite a few have gone and implemented it, love these dudes 😀
4. (super extra bonus) Fuck Google for artificially preventing a full backup solution that doesn't rely on their cloud being involved

Reddits antiwork has a fed mod! (edited)

Full disclosure on Friday night my brother chill-left showed me this conversation and I believe it is worth sharing.

"Teia Rabishu" has been the top mod of antiwork since the massive scandal of a moderator appearing on Tucker Carlson who spoke about their part time job as a dogwalker. She appears not to understand the concept of the Overton window. Her defense of the decision to ban, "Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare." despite the opposition of the moderators and users of the sub is suspicious, unethical, and totalitarian. In typical "dictator fashion", her entire stance seems to be "china bad" and she constantly argues via logical fallacies. Not only this but, "Caledric" from the beginning of being a moderator for antiwork openly admits to working for US intelligence and expresses sympathy as well as agreement to their ideological framing and conclusions. "Teia" defends and supports "Caledric" as well as upholds the ideological anti-communism and red scare propaganda which led to this entire debacle.

This document and photos where leaked by u/chill-left before he was banned from the anti-work subreddit. He was a moderator dissenting within their internal communication discord. The supposed reason for his ban was calling for democratic elections to replace the head moderator of the antiwork subreddit. As well as disagreeing with "Teia Rabishu".

Please share this with any interested individuals or parties, especially anyone associated with antiwork.

Meta AI in panic mode as free open-source DeepSeek gains traction and outperforms for far less

Meta AI in panic mode as free open-source DeepSeek gains traction and outperforms for far less - Tech Startups

Late last year, we reported on a Chinese AI startup that surprised the industry with the launch of DeepSeek, an open-source AI model boasting 685 billion parameters.

Why would Meta AI be in "panic mode" when they provide the "service" for free anyway?

OpenAI though, or Anthropic, and others who are "pure player" in AI and do charge for a service might be in a pinch ... BUT even then it requires a lot of resources that the random computer user do not have (e.g. a GPU and a large disk), so that even in such case (sadly, as IMHO self-hosted open-source AI is much saner in most cases, cf my fabien.benetou.fr/Content/Self… live wiki page) the average consumer would still better pay for a model to run.

Adoption of the product. If the masses pick another software for regular use over Meta, Meta loses (or never gets) all of the traffic they're depending on to pay for their investment and generate further revenue.

in reply to Ghyste • 2 giorni fa • •

I'd be quite curious to know the number of people who see AI as a standalone product. My bet would be very very few. Consequently when Meta provides it as an additional service to what they already offer, via chatbots or generated images or suggestions within post, they shortcut pure players. When they provide that additional service for fee, they undercut them. So... I'm not saying Meta won't see slightly less usage for their own AI services but actual products, e.g. WhatsApp, Instagram, etc then I doubt it. IMHO it's a sensationalist title.

in reply to utopiah • 2 giorni fa • •

Distinct point but if I was at Meta, or Microsoft, and would want to get more resources, I'd point at the challenge (without saying "panic") of competition, e.g. China, in order to get more GPUs, data centers built, R&D subsidies, anything that make competition look fierce regardless of what I actually, so in that sense, it's a very useful piece for them.

in reply to utopiah

The panic is over how much execs are getting paid and the bloated budgets at meta, while a small team managed to build something that's way more efficient on a tiny budget.

CPU Time vs Usage

I'm self studying for a server+ cert and ran into this paragraph. Am I right that CPU time is a set of ticks utilized, the CPU Capacity is the total capacity, and the CPU usage is the percentage of ticks:capacity?

I have been making notes from this chapter, and the more I get into it the more I seem to find things like this that seem slightly off.

Does anyone have a physical copy of the 2ed McMillan CompTia Server+ study guide I can compare against? I feel like someone is messing with me.
