Quoting: MohandevirThing is, when you buy a GPU, you don't buy it thinking it will break in the next 6 months. This one had really cheap fans that had bearing noise problems. None of my GTX650 (ASUS), GTX750 ti (Gigabyte) and GTX960 (Gigabyte) had these problems and I never paid for premium models. There's a minimum quality that must be respected. Not going to buy any GPU from MSI ever again.

I don't believe is something with MSI as a whole, I'm running a MSI RX580 Gaming X for 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it.

Maybe it was a bad unit?

Well, I bought an MSI Armor RX580 8G a few months back, and I actually avoid playing anything too GPU-heavy because of the hellish noise it makes, so I wouldn't bet on it. There's also an unhealthy, intermittent rattle coming from the bearings already. This is probably the first and the last MSI product I'll ever buy.

Weird thing is, I couldn't find a single review that had bad things to say about the heatsink back when I bought it. Now there seems to be a new version of the card/heatsink though, so maybe they made it better. Doesn't help me or Mohandevir or course.

Quoting: RCLLinux gaming squarely is in the same place when it was in 1999

Well that's obviously not true.

If you've ever enjoyed a classic adventure game, you should definitely give this demo a go. The detailed, imaginative graphics and animations, as well as the very competent voice acting are a step or two above the norm for indie adventures. Also, the main developer seems like a decent guy, so that's a definite plus. This is one project I wouldn't mind crowdfunding if and when it comes to that.

Quoting: Guestpolitical agendas that go counter to most of their customers' wishes

Most of their customers or the loudest of their customers?

Also, you really can't enjoy a game/story unless it perfectly conforms to your narrow world-view? That's a bit sad.

According to what the poster can be judged as having a "narrow world-view"? C'mon.

If someone gets offended by game design, they're not likely to be the most open-minded person around. Anyway, he didn't seem to mind my turn of phrase. He probably doesn't need you to mind for him.

Quoting: ElectricPrismGabe Newell also referenced Mac and Linux as milestones not included in the transcript excerpt from the article.

Right there in the first paragraph of the transcript. :)

Quoting: ageresIs it possible to execute Windows .bat files with Wine? I couldn't do.

A quick web search suggests either
wine cmd /c filename.bat
or
wine start filename.bat

Quoting: [email protected]Anybody know why humble don't have the American Truck Simulator Special Transport DLC?

possibly because its the latest dlc no idea not an avid fan of truck simulators but check steam if staem are not offering it on linux then thats your answer.

All of the DLC for ATS and ETS2 have Linux support as far as I can tell. I don't remember any delays or omissions at any point. But this one seems to be missing from Humble even though it has been on Steam for months.

Quoting: tom34Padoka repo is still not updated (stable and unstable): https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa [External Link] :/
Is this repo dead?

Stable is a bit behind, but unstable was last updated less than two weeks ago.

I was comparing this to oibaf PPA, this repo was updated very quickly, always padoka was similar with updates (unstable padoka repo).

Funnily enough, stable just updated as well. The build system switch to meson might be the reason for the longer delay.
