@lemmy.worldStrip it down and make a Steam Machine out of it. Valve could likely sell a tiny set top box for under $100.
Try reinstalling the drivers and make sure the open source one is not installed. Also, what distro are you using, what card do you have, and what version of the drivers are you running?
My employer bought my laptop and had it shipped directly from Apple to my doorstep. No nefarious software installed. I must be missing out on some good old fashioned fun.
I caught it (again) and I rarely go out in public. This is the third time I have had it. Thankfully I am vaccinated + boosted so all three times have been pretty mild, though this time is definitely the most brutal.
Because people do pay the money.
If an item is hard to find they will pay it.
People that only buy stuff on eBay will pay for it.
If someone randomly sees the item they need they will buy it.
Example: I paid $2,200 on eBay for an RTX 4090 FE because they were sold out everywhere. The extra few hundred bucks for me was worth it to get the FE card over 3rd party cards since it is the smallest and quietist of the bunch. None of the other 4090s fit in my case.
The machines I use pull less than 100w at full load. There is another variant that pulls less than 50. They use the laptop chips (HX/45W or U/15W)
