Not Deck related, but I hope it will also fix whatever the heck is going on with my desktop: still in act 1, but (I think) there's a memory leak that causes it to stutter more and more, to the point where it can actually decide to take a second off between frames. Multiple times per minute. I don't get it on Deck, so I get to choose between loud fan and modest graphics, or quiet 4K glory with a reminder I've been playing for a while... lol

I don't know, last time I've seen that work was in 1998. My dad had an IBM and at least in the pre-installed Win 95 SE it could suspend or hibernate. Never seen anything else pull that off since then.

Best reply would've been "Indeed. My favorite character is Garibaldi, Nathan Fillion really nailed the role"

Much simpler way, even if not as cool: try https://apps.apple.com/app/id6444050820 that is free and great. First download a model, if you already have one you like just use the Civitai.com link, otherwise there's a selection of them and I'd try... Realistic Visions? The 8 bit one saves you a little space. Then use the photo icon in the bottom to import a photo, you want something with the face clearly visible. Use the eraser to get rid of everything other than the face. Now try prompting for an astronaut! Should work already but you can try adding Controls: Tile, Inpainting and Pose specifically.

Performance wise you can go at the bottom of the left side, click on the cpu looking icon and select (if it's not selected already) Use CoreML: Yes and for the CoreML compute units go with All.

My M2 Mini takes a dozen seconds for a normal generation like that. With the Control modules and Inpainting is going to be a little slower obviously but hey, it's a fast app.

What I get from the comments here and my own one is... Creality has questionable quality control. There's some people really against their stuff, but my 2019 Ender 3 still goes well and it gets the bare minimum of maintenance. There's a few upgrades, true (BTT silent board, geared extruder, Raspberry with Octoprint, stiff springs) but mechanically it's still the same.

So I guess you either get a good unit or not, surprise!

Switch Pro lacks analog triggers and depending on what games you play it can be a really bad thing.

You would be surprised about the time and skills it takes... let's just say that I use a tool meant to teach kids lmao https://www.tinkercad.com/

It's not hard, really. I grab my caliper, take measurements of the diameter of the analog stick, write them down, open Tinkercad and it's really just a bunch of cylinders I'm working with. Often the hardest part is finding a good logo that will print.

The real time wasting stuff is when I make them too thin and feel too flimsy, or when I print a test one and it's either way too loose or not large enough to fit.

Now that you know how modest the skill set to design those specific things is, on to the other issue, money: a 3d printer isn't a trivial impulse buy, but basic ones can be bought for around 200 euro! For example my Xbox analog cap has been printed on a (now discontinued) Monoprice Mini Select v2. 160 euro when I got it. There's sub 100 ones but I don't know how usable they are, plus they're even smaller and size does make a difference in what you can print.

As I make this stuff, let me say you got lucky with dimensions. Bloody analog sticks are all different in size...

3060 here, it might be the vram. SDXL eats a lot of it (and if you had say the vae in the wrong spot it would output very wrong images) so it might be that either 8gb aren't enough, or maybe they aren't enough with the resolution of your screen plus whatever you are running, like the browser.

Or, OR: the checkpoint is corrupted. I had that happen a couple of times in the past and the whole huge error with loading of another model was what happened.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

32... that's a sweet split of 16 for the vram and 16 for the ram. Supposing it works well it can completely fix any memory issues with any current games!

If it's just the net framework, installing proton tricks will be faster. Select the game, install software, net framework.
