Musk says he 'deleted' IRS easy filing team that let Americans file taxes for free online in c/news@lemmy.world

American here, I didn't work this year (stay at home parent) and we only need to file my wife's taxes. If it goes smoothly it'll take an hour, minimum, and we're usually unsure if we filed it all out correctly...

How about, fuck all religious extremism.

The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. in c/technology@lemmy.world

100% agree. I'm a handyman and drive an outback. People are usually surprised when I open the hatch and it's full of my tool boxes.

Check out toool. It's where I started when I got into the hobby.

I'm hoping to (finally) upgrade my gpu from my gtx 1060, but before I do I want to make sure there isn't a different part I should upgrade first. in c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world

I've been gaming on sub 60fps for so long I don't mind only running games at 60. The monitors were a gift from a friend and I don't have any intent to replace them soon.

All of those gpus are way over my desired budget.

I'm not great at understanding a lot of the technical aspects of the different pc parts, and especially figuring out where any potential bottle necks are. I'm thinking that the gpu is my biggest issue right now, but I'd hate to spend the money and not get a huge improvement in performance.

p.s. I'm leaning towards the RX 6600 for a budget friendly upgrade, but I'd be open to other similarly priced suggestions.

Update: thanks for all of the advice y'all. I ended up spending a bit more for a 6650xt.
