valarhalla on tumblr: "If I have to read Frederick the Great’s personal coffee recipe with my own eyes, so do you"

["Frederick the Great used to make his own coffee, with much to-do and fuss. For water he used champagne. Then, to make the flavour stronger, he stirred in powdered mustard.

Now to me it seems improbable that Frederick truly liked this brew. I suspect him of bravado. Or perhaps he was taste-blind."]

Exactly, I'm not expecting the market to be flooded with useable cards. But I'm not going to completely write off the possibility a few boards make it out to a new life. But yeh, it's gonna be a very niche thing and very much luck of the draw.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
You are thinking of SLI/Crossfire, that's a different thing. Those used two graphics cards running in tandem each rendering half of a screen, or alternate frames, to improve performance. This is just dumping the video output from one card to another via the main system. It's way simpler.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Somebody will have a punt at it, not saying it's going to be every card that's useable, just that the lack of ports isn't going to kill the possibility. The drivers and BIOS are the real issue, but I'll bet somebody can find a way around it given time. Admittedly that time may be in decades.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
..then have either a separate basic ass row of ports card, or just bite the bullet and go USB C exclusive for video out. Being able to plug a monitor in at any USB port would be so much gods damned easier after all.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
In fact I kinda want to see a move away from multiple ports on a graphics card. Sure, it's a quick and effective way to add a bunch of monitor outputs, but those cables put a tonne of weight onto the card and only add to the bracketing need. Better to have a compute block with tonnes of airflow...

This is how discreet GPU laptops work after all, everything goes through the on board chip with specific programs offloaded to the proper GPU. I use the reverse on my main PC, which wasn't built to do it so has no fancy driver shenanigans to make it work, to run some software on the CPU's graphics.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Not having a video output on the card isn't intrinsically a barrier to using them for gaming. You can output the video from one graphics card through another card with modern systems So as long as you either have a dirt cheap second card with the ports, or onboard graphics with ports, it's useable

..in some areas to recreate the original functionality. But it is a hell of a lot better than those god awful demos we saw a couple of years back. But yeh, no amount of reverse engineering is going to make a PS5 game run in a web browser. It'll run in a dedicated PS5 emulator, or maybe be ported...

Nah he's talking about decompiling the games rather than just trying to recreate them in an LLM. It is something that LLM's aren't the worst thing for, decompiling, but by no means is it anywhere near the level he's bullshitting it is. Essentially its trying to break down the binary back into...

Bazite is a Linux distro built for it, including both needed drivers and the various tools out of the box. You can do the same on almost any Linux distro of course, but they provide a fairly simple setup and tight integration. That said, it still has some issues, particularly multiplayer.

Well, it's either that or a film that I interpreted as a lock Ness monster film where the monster was a big articulated digger covered in seaweed. Somehow the digger was possessed I think? No idea what either of these films were, just recall those bits vividly.

Vie Ventar @vieventar.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I have no idea what the film is, but a shlocky adventure film which had a scene where characters were forced down a narrow cave passageway lined with holes. Part way through sock puppet ass looking monsters start coming out of said holes to attack them.

Ford Corsair? Wut?
An image of several Ford Corsairs, a 1960's British Ford midsize car model.

They have somewhat more sporty styling than the MK1 Cortina they share a platform with, inspired by the contemporary Ford Thunderbird (the BananaBird.) With a smoothly drooped front body line that dips down below the tops of the headlights, making them protrude upwards in the style of a Triumph TR4.

On the left, a dark green two door coupé parked front passenger side three quarters towards the camera.

In the center, a metallic yellow two doofr cabriolet parked front drivers side three quarters towards the camera.

To the center right, a metallic silver four door saloon parked front drivers side three quarters to the camera. It is angled slighter further around to the drivers side than the cabrio.

At the rear right, a white five door estate parked almost drivers side on to the camera. The front is still visible, but highly angled.

The background is an tarmack road with a large hedge behind, with a large tree to the back left of the image.
