I am going to upgrade my 8gb desktop pc. I have 2 free slots and 2 slots with 2x4gb 2400Mhz. I will buy 2x8gb with 3600 MHz. Should I put them together and have 24gb at 2400Mhz or should I remove the 2x4 in favor of the 3600Mhz.

I'm asking because I read that when you have 2 different ram speeds it will default to the lower one.

Edit: it's for gaming and I have a Ryzen 3 1200 with a b350m as a motherboard

COD:BO6 was just announced and all the comments talk about how the collab skins will drop after 4 months in the game and I was thinking to myself: "You know what, I wouldn't mind a [TSwift/Spiderman/any celeb collab] if it was well implemented" For exemple, if you want to have a Spidey skin, go for the black one, or make it with a camo, don't go full blue&red with glossy finish. If you want a Swifty skin, make it "war-ready". Use dark shades, add combat equipment, camo. I know it would be hard to represent some flashy characters like that but it's up to them to ruin the game IG.

Fortnite was in a good position as it already had a specific art style that allowed such skins to appear (even tho it loosed its original idea in the process) and also they at least try (I said try) to introduce collab in a lorefitting way.

I know Nvidia has a reputation for being bad with Linux. Is it better now? And most of all, what would be the best GPU for modern gaming on Linux (any distro)?

(And what's your job?)

When we think about teleportation, there's always someone talking about how you should take into account the earth and the sun moving through space. Let's step back a little (not so much) what if the galaxy we're currently in is rotating really really fast around another, bigger, still unknown, spacial object?

I recently had the opportunity to play the video game The Finals on a very good computer with a 2070 or something along the line (and it was a bit laggy on medium 1080p)

I've always wanted to play this game when I saw the promotion material. On top of being interesting and good looking, it's actually really really fun.

However, after finishing my second quickplay, I got hit really hard by the fact that I would never be able to play such a game on decent quality 60fps. I guess it's not really about The Finals... But since good gpus aren't on the way to become affordable and I hear about some shortages of materials, I guess I have to say byebye to this.

PS: I could put Helldivers 2 here maybe also but I'm not sure

I know this is a low budget •_•"

Where would you go cheap?

What part should be bought new?

For which part is dumpster diving okay'ish?

Hello lemmy! ^^

I was given this debate topic for an ethics class and since I really like this "small" tech savvy community that we have I wanted to know what were your thoughts.

I personally love the idea of replacing jobs so we can focus on the things we love and care (ranging from developing games to spending time with loved ones).

But on the other side I am rather scared that our society will not be able to follow the rapid growth of technology and put in place good regulations to avoid widening the gap between the top% and the rest of us

Thanks for your answers ^^
