6800 xt might match 3070's performance on Linux, but I would not consider it an "upgrade". I would recommend looking up more info on ProtonDB and posting specific questions (if you have not tried that already).

Yes, choosing an AMD gpu will give you other benefits as well, like system stability etc., but make sure your purchase decision is worth it.

If I am not wrong, you can sell you 3070 for about $150-200 and buy a used 6800xt for about $220.

One more thing you can try before buying anything... Try a different OS, like Bazzite or Nobara based on Fedora, or PopOS based on Debian. Different bases can alter performance. I had a laptop with 3060 and it always performed slightly worse on Arch and Debian based systems. For some reasons, the GPU didn't exceed 85 watts, even though the TDP was 100 watts. Only Fedora and it's derivates make my GPU work as intended. But this is a case for laptop GPUs.

That food didn't go to waste. I'm pretty sure someone ate it.

What do you mean?

I would say let your friend try Linux, first. DAWs like Ardour support vst3 plugins, so most things would be fine. If that does not work out, assist them in running DAWs under wine or proton. FL Studio works under wine, probably Ableton too.

If nothing works out, then yes, macOS is fine. Just don't login using your apple account, check privacy settings after every update. You can use apps like LittleSnitch on macOS to check which apps and services are connecting to which domains and IP and block them. This way you can get a lot of control of your privacy.

Sorry, I meant on Android only.

 

They're really cheap. This one cost me only 2800 INR (~$30), but the vibrations are terrible. You can get one from a reputed brand for about 50 USD. I think Razor and Gamesir also sell these.

The only Android game I play with this is Fall Guys, that too once a week or so. But primarily I play PSP and PS2 games. Apps like Retroarch provide a really nice UI for retro games, and can make you feel like you're using a handheld console. Here's a screenshot of Retroarch:

NetherSX2 is also great. Here's the screnshot:

I love this thing and would recommend such gamepads to anyone looking for a handheld console experience.

Here's a few more photos of this.

Btw, it can also be connected to any PC with a Bluetooth connection. This one can also connect to PlayStation 4 as well. It will work on PS5 too, but only in UI and PS4 games.

PS - Sorry for the blurry pictures. i don't have a good secondary camera.

Edit - I wanted to add a bit about Retroachievements as well. If you're into retro gaming, and don't use Retroachievements, WHY? Maybe because you didn't know about it? Go to retroachievements.com and see if you can get all the achievements from your favourite childhood game. You can connect Retroachievements via only Retroarch, NetherSX2 and PPSSPP emulators only. Others are not supported yet (on Android).

CCTV cameras in Lincoln have captured a fox and an otter running around the city's streets.

The two animals were seen wandering around Brayford Pool and the High Street areas in the early hours.

City of Lincoln Council said the footage resembled a Christmas advert and showed "an unlikely friendship blossoming".

It is not clear from the footage where the animals had come from or what they were doing.

Steve Nichol, the chief executive of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, in Boston, described the scenes as "strange" and said they had to be seen to be believed.

"It's so odd and those animals would never been seen hunting in the same areas. If anything they'd be fighting each other rather than walking around the shops.

"You might see the odd fox around a city centre but to find an otter in a populated area is highly unusual."

Can someone provide references, and/or instructions for classy male nudes?

I think dentistry is different from general physician things. Typically, a dentist can treat anyone of any age.

Why tf are people saying that it was "without permission"?? They installed it, used it, and gave permission to execute commands. I say the user is at fault. It is an experimental piece of software. What else can you expect?
