Big trucks aren't great to begin with in that regard as they limit visibility and don't have the best shape when hitting pedestrians/cyclists. The cybertruck manages to one up that by using sharp corners and a material that doesn't give way in the slightest.
I do focus on pedestrians and cyclists, but I can't imagine smaller cars fare that much better when encountering a cyber truck head on....
It is just baffling to me that the thing is allowed on the road to begin with. Usual disclaimer, my perspective is that from outside the US.

I tried and lost another set of community gear because of course someone had to ring the doorbell the moment I went through the portal....
It is way out there so the chunk is probably unloaded, if anyone feels adventurous, this is the location of the portal on the roof: https://tildes.nore.gg/?worldname=world_nether&mapname=roof&zoom=6&x=-417&y=64&z=-480IsildursBane very generously let me borrow a fully enchanted set of armor and I have been able to get my things back.

Disclaimer: I am planning to build a raid farm first, I just finished collecting all the parts for one I found a little while ago. But, if all goes well that shouldn't take too long.

I also just added about three stacks of chests to the chest of chests. Next on my list is researching shulker farms and see if I want to deal with those assholes :D

I fixed the witch stone farm as well and it is quickly filling up.At minty's place there also is a witch farm with several double chests of redstone block stacks.

At least witches do spawn, I checked with freecam while standing in the AFK spot. I'll see if something in the pipeline is blocked.
Edit: I think they might not be killed anymore or the goods are not transported up. Still need to better look into the mechanics.
Edit2: Found the issue, a quartz block was preventing the witches from walking into the killing area. @Gravysleeve, any reasons that block was placed there 44 days ago?

Oh yeah you are right. With a bit of tweaking you can get a still very capable PC for 1500 or so I wager. Probably downgrade the GPU a little bit and maybe go for a different CPU.
Edit: Here with a still very capable GPU bringing it to $1700 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s6gYTM . If you go for a previous gen CPU you can drop te price even more for very little performance loss. Certainly because motherboards for that generation are cheaper.

That actually isn't really the case anymore, pc development isn't going that fast. I build my PC in 2021 (yup I paid the shortage premium) and it still is going strong. As I said elsewhere, I can still play most games on mostly high settings with a 3060ti.
Anyway $2500 USD already brings you in ridiculous upper spending territory. Here is an example I quickly threw together: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/creesch/saved/Fb4ndC
It features the arguably best cpu for gaming right now, good memory and a 4070 TI super which people will already argue is too expensive for what it does. A 4080 would bring it up to 2500 easily but without much gain.
Basically what I am trying to say is that you can easily do some tweaks to the above and still end up with a pc that will last you for years to come. For example going for a non 3d cache cpu, pick a cheaper motherboard without wifi, go for a 4070TI or AMD (Radeon RX 7700 XT).
Unless you have cash to burn I don't think there is a reason to go for a build that costs more than $2000.
For an example see the conversation I had with cfabro elsewhere.
Edit: This is by all accounts still a extremely capable computer and I was able to do it with a budget of $1300 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rqZkdb
Disclaimer: I quickly threw this together so don't go out and blindly buy all parts. But with some refinement this is more realistically what you can be looking at when building a new pc.

I tweaked the build a bit to include no RGB and managed to get a lower price and even pick better memory (lower cas latency). I did opt to go for air cooled rather than liquid cooled as it is more reliable, cools just as well and frankly is about as quiet these days. But, if you wanted to keep the AIO, the same version is available without RGB and is cheaper.
In total this brings this build really neatly on $1500 (ignoring rebates and discounts), a $178 cheaper ;)
Edit:
Looking at it a bit more, the motherboard probably can also be selected to be much cheaper. But I also realized that this build seems to be actually picked for RGB and white aesthetics? Which in itself will simply make it much more expensive.

It allows you to create a custom build with pricing indicator, and it will show you if the parts you picked are compatible.
Logical Increments might recommend a specific brand GPU, but with pcpartpicker you can choose a different brand (same spec) for a similar and sometimes even lower price.
Not for chocobean, but just in case any Dutch or Belgian people are reading along, the tweakers pricewatch is the go-to tool for you. Most webshops in the Netherlands will have their inventory listed there and with the wishlist feature you can effectively put together your pc with a good price indication.

creesch Link ParentWith Intel rumored to announce their next generation GPUs in a few days, any idea how good/bad their Linux support is? Of course, this assumes that the new generation of GPUs can actually compete.With Intel rumored to announce their next generation GPUs in a few days, any idea how good/bad their Linux support is?

creesch (edited )Link ParentCan confirm, my 3060 TI can manage most games at very decent settings. Though it does struggle a tiny bit here. But that is mostly recently and in most cases I can just choose most high settings...even a 3070 is a bit overkill for most people's gaming needs.
Can confirm, my 3060 TI can manage most games at very decent settings. Though it does struggle a tiny bit here. But that is mostly recently and in most cases I can just choose most high settings without issue.
Edit: I should note that things like raytracing make the thing struggle. But there aren't that many titles where it makes that big of a difference that I play.

As for the longest time that would give you the most bang for your buck without going for silly stuff like RGB and other aesthetic choices.
Still it is a good reference.

Same culture ;) And yeah, we have had a push for focus on cyclists and pedestrians since the 70s. It is stuff I have commented on before in much more detail.
Hopefully that is the outcome, that would at least give it one positive note.
