My samsung and lg tvs also have options to disable data harvesting. The problem , however, is that just like the apple tv they all are black boxes that have no intention in respecting your choices, thus you can't trust that disabling t

That volatile ammo mutator was made even more awesome because it actually spawned "shots" of that type, so a plasma pile wouldn't just explode but rather spread various plasma shots around it. The granade one would have the g

AFAIK impedance mismatch should only matter in relation to speakers and amps or headphones and dacs/pre-amps. It shouldn't matter when doing line level output to an amp or even a line level loopback (dac to adc). The fact it has s

I agree that you can have cheap and great DACs nowadays that far exceeds what a consumer needs but some manufacturers still insists in putting less than ideal ones, or fumbling their implementation, in all sorts of device. I've got a c

Maybe that's why he stays most of the time away from valve? It's his way of training the company into functioning without him, only intervening occasionally when necessary.

Even though I have two SSDs in my main machine I still use a hard drive as an overflow for games that I judge are not SSD worthy. Because it's a recent 20TB HDD the read speeds approach 250MB/s and I've also specifically part

Try running a long video conversion job that uses up all cores while running a game, no matter how much you fiddle with scheduling priority the performance in the game might drop by 50% and frame times will spike multiple times over. Even i

But them it's a question about how trustworthy an app is. Wouldn't it be better for software installed from your own distro repository to be fully trusted and require few or no security popups? After all, they are vetted to a much

So far I've noticed big improvements in graphical fluidity and energy efficiency when running wayland on an old notebook. If devs are also having a much better time supporting wayland... I'm all for it, even if it still has some r

Wasn't OpenAI also for the embetterment of society? Looking at how things went for all high profile AI companies, why should we trust this one? Even if they got a saint to run as CEO they would find a way to screw humanity over.

When silly DRM or a game launcher is all that is keeping you from enjoying a game, that is when you get the pirated version without any of this bs and enjoy it without remorse.

You can make the exact same question to the same LLM and the "artificial entropy" they inject into the inference process will be enough to make up a completely different response.

The more reasonable alternative is to have a souped up linux desktop at home and access it remotely with a low latency "game" streaming protocol such as sunshine+moonlight. It's a bit involved to set up and make work properly

Valve/Steam is definitely not applying any pressure, they've always been against strong DRM. Even the steam deck lacks any hardware locks or fancy DRM.

Yes, that's something I failed to address in my post. I myself have also been happier playing older or just simpler games than chasing the latest AAA with cutting edge graphics. What I see as a problem though is that the incumbent cons

Are you sure you have steam configured right? Because with steam input you can get proper xbox controller emulation on games that don't support PS4/5 and NS controllers. It's not perfect but you should never be stuck if you d
