noice, not just a rotating detonation engine, but a toroidal aerospike, as well
<SporkWitch>
if they can make that thing reliable that would be epic
<Althego>
no, it would be a nice gain
<Althego>
epic would be a fusion drive
<SporkWitch>
fair enough heh
<Althego>
and nuclear is between nice and epic, what would you call that?
<SporkWitch>
but speaking of politics, fusion doesn't look like it will ever be possible at this rate, since the last three plants producing trititum are scheduled to be shut down due to braindead "climate activists"
<Althego>
lol
<SporkWitch>
seriously pisses me off, because climate change is a thing, but today's activists are raving lunatics and liars
<SporkWitch>
and the things they call for are actively harmful, both to society, and to developing the very technologies needed to address said climate change
<Althego>
totally possible that they are influenced by the related corporations and they unknowingly help them
<Althego>
you know despite all of trying people repeat obviously falsehoods. like glass is a liquid, we use 10% of our brain, earth is flat (yes this is still around, although the last wave largely died down)
<SporkWitch>
also possible, but who gains, other than solar and wind companies? Most of the "benefits" of the policies they fight for are to the WEF types in the form of lowering living standards and centralizing control over people.
<SporkWitch>
there's no direct profit until the end-game
<SporkWitch>
flat earthers are always entertaining, similarly, Young Earth Creationists lol
<SporkWitch>
(I actually know one, he's a regular at a couple of the bars I frequent)
<Althego>
lol
<SporkWitch>
(good conversations overall, but yeah, when it comes to some stuff, he's incapable of thinking critically)
<SporkWitch>
grrrr, apparently 3x2560x1440 is the max the RTX3080 can do... I was thinking of getting a fourth, smaller display for work, but wanted to be able to use it with the personal computer too heh
<SporkWitch>
technically it can drive 4 displays, but maximum supported resolution is 7680x4320, which with four displays is only 1920x1080 per screen, max
<Althego>
hehe
<SporkWitch>
unless i'm misreading it, and it means that the maximum per-display resolution is 7680x4320...
<Althego>
there are professional cards which can drive more displays
<Althego>
maybe 8 or so
<SporkWitch>
yeah, but i don't need anything that crazy, just don't like buying things SOLELY for work, especially if i can't get the company to pay for it
<SporkWitch>
my desk has a mount for a smaller display below the central monitor, so i was thinking of grabbing a mid-size one intended for a raspi and mounting it there, then i can put the work slack on that display, while i'm in zoom meetings
<SporkWitch>
i haven't found a reasonably priced KVM switch that can do 3x displayport, and I don't like having to manually toggle the monitors' inputs, so i just use the laptop by itself, single screen >_<
<SporkWitch>
there are software solutions so i could open additional "monitors" on my personal computer, but i'd never be able to get IT to approve them; i'm just lucky they approved my use of synergy for keyboard and mouse sharing
