NFT expert imagines a hopeful future where poor people serve as 'real-life NPCs' in games

This is horrible. Like... I guess making some money is better than making no money but it's impossible for me to imagine people suggesting this stuff as anything other than a worse version of the monopoly guy.
Ha! I'd watch... until I realize, as one of those Americans only a few paychecks shy of financial ruin, I'd be one, good hospital stay away from strapping on a toaster helmet and hubcap body armor and joining the fray myself.

Fuck off Dan Houser. What is with these former leads, founders, or co-founders investing in NFTs so late in the game? Find something better you assholes!

I used to know a guy (former DM) who would openly and vociferously argue for gladiatorial combat for prisoners, also calling for offering the prisoners better conditions or amenities and a cut of the proceeds in exchange for performance. He'd always emphasize that it would need to be a voluntary system, and that specific prisoners wanting to fight each other specifically should be prioritized on the schedule.
Ethereum Switches to Proof of Stake, GPU Mining is Dead
NVIDIA Ada and AMD RDNA3 will not sell to Ethereum miners. In a dramatic move, the creators of Ethereum have switched over the popular crypto-currency's algorithm from proof-of-work, to proof-of-stake, which means miners will no longer spend GPU resources in competing to find the same blocks...
Get fucked, miners.
I keep checking Kijiji for second hand cards. On one hand, a former mining card probably doesn't have a long life ahead of it, on the other hand considering they are about to become slightly less valuable than the toy in a kracker jack box it may not matter.Ethereum Switches to Proof of Stake, GPU Mining is Dead

Not necessarily. Competent miners run their cards undervolted at lower wattages so they can keep mining longer, meaning more return on investment. Probably take better care of them than the average gamer too. So newer cards can still be in great shape with a good amount of gaming years left. Tho still risky, but that's kind of inherent to buying secondhand hardware from randos.

That's the hard part: Telling apart the competent miners from the dumb ones.
Yeah, you get those too, but I'd say that isn't so much a "crypto miner" problem as just a general "people don't know how to maintain their shit and/or are filthy" problem.
Like, blowing out the dust a couple time a year already makes a world of difference and takes like 5 minutes, ffs.
I was researching signs of poor maintenance online to see what I should watch out for, and one of the first things is seeing the last time the thermal paste was replaced.
I didn't even know thermal paste can be replaced on graphics cards. So uh. Whoops. Maybe my card is actually doing well...
Unless either the card is pretty old or you have been running it very hard, replacing thermal paste on a GPU isn't likely to be necessary. But yeah, it can lose effectiveness just like the paste on a CPU, and can also be replaced (though taking the card apart to do so can be tricky, depending on manufacturer).
Its been five years, so probably by now I should be doing something. The machine needs a clean and I have a bunch of thermal paste left over from the last time I did my cpu though so its probably no big deal.
Honestly, unless you've been getting heat shutdowns running at default settings, replacing the thermal paste falls into the 'fixing shit that ain't broke' category.
Five years shouldn't be a problem. I'm talking more ten to fifteen of regular, reasonable use.
Very much this. If you're really worried, use a temperature-monitoring program to keep an eye on the thermals. So long as you don't pass the 80-90°C mark for more than half a minute while playing a graphically-intensive game, you're probably good- and if you do, look into making sure that the fan curves are properly set first.
Fair enough, I'll check that out. I do desperately need to clean out the guts of this thing thanks to a combination of cat and time, but avoiding having to figure out how to dismantle a graphics card would be nice.
Good luck with that; not happening.

Yeah, fuck 'em. If all blockchain can offer to gaming is pyramid schemes and attempts to turn our hobby into shitty jobs then it can fuck right off. Maybe it could add more but none of the shills seem to think that's worth investigating.Good luck with that; not happening.
