No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

i feel like desktop nvidia cards are ok, laptop nvidia cards are a nightmare because of the weird igpu/dgpu shit under the hood
That's why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.
Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren't setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It's horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.
And the battery life is ridiculous.
