  1. Massively enjoyed the @Level1Techs DGX Spark GB10 review, in particular because of the showcase of how you actually use the Spark software platform; youtube.com/watch?v=Lqd2EuJwOuw #AI #Nvidia #Level1Techs

  4. I’ve been trying to clean up my desk cabling. I have an #LG 5k Ultrawide going to a #Level1Techs #DisplayPort 1.4 KVM which in turn plugs into a Mac mini and a #CalDigit TS4 dock for a MacBook Pro. TS4 sits on top of the KVM, so it only needs a very short cable. IN THEORY!

    I’ve tried 3 brands of 6 1.5ft DP 2.1 cables and none of them work. Some will not provide any video despite the laptop seeing the monitor connected. Some give a few seconds of video before either blanking or giving static.

  9. What a time to be alive! Relatively painless #SRIOV with the latest opt-in kernel 6.17 for #Proxmox! There's slight wonkiness here and there with the #intel drivers (on the Windows side), but from what I can see in the #level1techs video and thread, they are working diligently. Right now it's just #homelab shenanigans, but this will be useful for the last 2 Windows use cases I have once it's a little smoother.

  14. ICYMI: #GamersNexus, in a video with #Level1Techs 's Wendell, has 'announced', ~3 days ago, that they will or intend to include #Linux in their #gaming/hardware performance benchmarks (in some capacity, at least) in the future. As it is, the distro they plan to be targeting seems to be #Bazzite.

    Motivation behind this being Steve/GN's concern with
    #Microsoft 's continuous enshittification of #Windows, such as the bullshit, spyware feature they've been pushing lately - Windows Recall. GN's hoping that benchmark coverage of Linux would help offer some 'value' and insight in terms of performance for those considering making the move, in addition to existing Linux users.

    Any 'professional', 'outside' perspective, coverage of Linux will always be a positive thing, honestly. Apparently GN themselves have uncovered some (serious?) flaws in terms of benchmarking a Linux system using something like
    #MangoHUD in the past, so, it'd be nice if they commit to benchmarking Linux going forward and maybe we'd get to see meaningful improvements to these tools and utilities that Windows users often take for granted. Maybe even see them shame 'industry players' like #NVIDIA too for any shortcomings of their drivers on Linux.

  19. I bring this up, as #GamersNexus & #Level1Techs started the conversation of transitioning out of the #Microsoft ecosystem, due to #Recall and wanted a baseline OS for not only Testing purposes, but for an audience that is primarily #Windows users that are connected to that ecosystem in one form or another. Is either #Bazzite or #CachyOS #Linux ready for prime time? What is your #distro of choice? Respond below.

  33. I don't always post on #Level1Techs forum, but when I do it's because I've become interested in #DataCooperative.

    As I mention in this post, blind trust towards your hosting vendor is one thing, but how does one set up a #kubernetes cluster where the admin can't just access volumes and memory willy nilly.

    Anyone know of an alternative? Is it even possible?
