Other non-tech version is selling things that sounds exactly the same but by some roundabout explanation, they can assure you it isn’t multi level marketing. Also drop shipping, storage unit flipping, whatever buy/sell eBay store empire

It’ll be a slow grind. I view. Linux today similar to Macs in like 2003. Low single digit market share but increasing adoption. What doesn’t match is the lack of a huge company pushing out flagship advertised laptops/desktops with them that tie in to a very popular device like iPods. But today there’s so many more computers being used that a low single digit market share today is probably way more people than Macs back in 2003. And Linux gaming today is better than gaming on MacOS has ever been. Today MacOS is like 15%

The BioShock games have a pretty timeless art style and don’t have jank twin stick controls that devs were still figuring out ps2 and back. Water and ray tracing improvements would probably enhance the mood even further but I don’t think modern gamers new to BioShock would think it as too ugly and distracting because so. I’ve had no appetite for remake 360/PS3 era games unless they never released on PC

Haven’t tried this yet. Tried Pluvia which this forks off months ago. I remember getting a game running. I think it was Eastward. Worked fine enough but decided to not spend anytime on it and wait until things got a lot better. Pretty sure others failed. I’ll try again eventually. Only care for installing games from Steam. Tried plain Winlator with a repack and that was too annoying to keep doing for any game

Googled around. Looks like Godot is being used as the basis for user created content. So I imagine they updated Frostbite to be able to ingest Godot formatted level files and whatever other needed Godot exported files into their “User Generated Content” portal. It’s not clear to me how much power they’ll give users for what users will be able to import from Godot created content. This is all supposed to be a part of the live service aspect of the game so it sounds like monetized user mods/content. I imagine that the scripts they’d support would be limited

3 way tie between 3.5mm jack, easily removable, and now that microSD Express is finally becoming mainstream, a microSD Express card slot. It’d be nice to see in a flagship or at least a Mediatek mid range chip like the dimensity 8400

That’s what I’m hyped on. It’s a TSMC 6nm chip so not going to be competitive with 4nm or future 3nm cards but if it’s a lot easier to use with a Windows VM than dealing with 2 GPUs, I’m importing that card

My expectations are higher now. I thought it was going to have a PowerVR GPU but it’s the high end Mali GPU

All about someday that getting good enough to install Linux Steam, run big picture, and successfully install games from that and see what’s better, Winlator or Androids Linux VM

I feel like that’s just softening the eventual news blow for stock holders. How big of an order will a major customer want to commit to. Who wants to be guinea pig for a foundry that has been bad news for a decade+

Hindsight 20/20. Over invested in foundry capacity. Maybe should have started with less capacity and be happy building up with a bunch of lower volume customers to raise confidence with the big customers

I have an Intel ARC A750. The path to good performance with that was DXVK. On Windows, throw in the DXVK dll. On Linux, always using DXVK/VK3D

The thing would probably be good for custom boutique software to run in data centers, maybe render farms. If they work on a solid Linux driver, DXVK it up

It’s that much venerated French liberty only surpassed by American liberty

Right now it’s not packaged up for easy use but KDE has supported Raspberry Pi’s for ages so I wouldn’t be surprised if you ran Plasma desktop, it’d be simple to build and install. I’d wait until they got it back onto the KDE release cadence with everything else though for simplicity

For anyone who wants to test this out, you can do as Devin did by installing Plasma Bigscreen on a Raspberry Pi using postmarketOS, though you would have to compile it yourself or pull from the nightly repos to get the latest changes.

The hardest online privacy is not operating in a way that just links all your “private” activity because you logged in around enough places to link them together and at least one place somewhere can be linked to your real identity

Any bit of user base growth helps get the ball rolling for future MS/USA missteps. Linux has just been getting better and easier year after year. It’s been a 30 year marathon ready for another 30+ years of development

Google’s strategy will never make sense to me. Apple vertically integrates to pursue performance crowns at a price competitors can’t do so without vertical integration like an iPhone. Google doesn’t go for the performance crown or heavily undercut on price not needing to pay Qualcomm prices for the chip, their advertising business, and Google Play and YouTube purchases. I guess maybe balancing act with other Android OEMs and not driving them away because of all the advantages Google could use by being software platform holder and chip designer

Glorious 2.49 and older where almost everyone hated the UI to the 2.5-2.6 where a lot less people hated the UI but it felt like the UI was mostly complained about as a barrier for adoption. Then 2.8 happened and the it seemed like the UI started getting some respect from non-Blender users and non-open source advocates

I still have mine. Bought it when it was new but never got used to it. I do like the idea of the touchpads though. Be nice to see a new iteration on it

It has to be PC. FFIX without the mod to speed up combat animations, it’s a pain to play these days compared to 20+ years ago

It’s like when the government of South Vietnam led by Catholics setup by the US/French governments started persecuting Buddhist though in that case in Vietnam, a lot more Buddhist than Christians
