Around a year ago I couldn't update my Nvidia driver for like 6 months or my PC wouldn't boot... I'm willing to guarantee this isn't the first vibe coded driver.

    When the v580 drivers dropped last year I had a similar experience. Think I also pushed updates for 4 months or so.

    I went from 535 to latest (590?) last week and it isn't great. What's the sweet spot, 570?

    I'm on 580 right now. It got usable after a few months. If 590 is out, I have to say I'm really hesitant to bump up to that. Might just hold off on updates for a while.

    Thankfully I have snapper on all my systems so rollbacks are easy.

    How does snapper compare to timeshift? Ease of use. Been using ts since I got back into linux and have used it quite a few times already

    I don't really know the difference, I've only ever used Snapper. It comes preconfigured on SuSE Tumbleweed, and I've set it up manually on those machines I have that don't run Tumbleweed.

    I like Snapper because once set up it basically just does its thing on its own, and it's super easy to use. I can access the snapshots from the boot menu so if something goes awry I can just boot into a previous system configuration.

    If you already use Timeshift and you're happy with it I don't really see why you'd switch.

    I just get curious when I see an app I didn't know about that is similar to one I use. Other than access from the boot menu it sounds just like ts. I may check it out on one of my test laptops to see how different it is

    thanks

    Revenue goes through the ceiling, which means costs must go down?

    confused

    Be it AI or lack of quality checks.

    We had such issues way before Ai driven development. It might be, but not all problems and bugs are caused by usage of Ai.

    I love how any time there's bugs in software people just assume it's AI.

    Trust me, they're perfectly capable of being incompetent au natural.

    That.. doesn't happen because of a crappy driver release. Announcing they may "be tight on product" for 2026 will though.

    I don't think client gfx will really impact their share price either. If there was a delay with server/dc products them maybe.

    I genuinely wish that would be the case but client portfolio performance rarely has any bearing on it.

    I guess I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the proportion of affected users but I don't think Intel suffered at all for the raptor lake failures, even though it affected workstations and notebooks (though I could be mistaken).

    Good. Replace developers with AI and find out.

    50 series driver situation all over again lol, just stay on 566.36 i guess?

    I'm pretty sure there is a later stable one than that. I've been on 591.44 for a while without issues. 566.36 doesn't have Preset K on DLSS right?

    What about paying a vibe coded currency/bank note to purchase a vibe coded hardware. Sounds fun

    I only use the studio drivers, more reliable and I've never had an issue when using them (so far)
