Yes, it's good. Also agreed that AMD would be best GPU experience.

That's the only option, because otherwise you are saying that Russia can engage in acts of war against Europe and Europe can't respond. That's not how it should work. And what they do with cables is totally acts of war. >

Global south cares for Russia as much as Russia is paying (giving discounts) anyone to care for it, not a barrel of oil more. The most obvious reason here is simply mobster style intimidation. I.e. "You are helping Ukraine? We'll

I doubt they want that. Blockade will undermine their war efforts which strongly depend on their oil and other exports. More likely they think countries around Baltic Sea are too scared to offer strong resistance, so they can engage in such

Likely Russia. Their idea is to engage in war under pretense that it's not a war. What I mean is that they will only understand counter measures that you'd take in a war, like blockade or sink them for instance. I.e. they are alre

There needs to be a blockade for these rogue ships. That's the only thing they'll understand, short of being sunk.

Banning competition can't possibly help increasing competition. It would be good to see Firefox with its own engine there for example.

Isn't unsafe just for that? Why does it need a separate compiler?

Did Japan decide to push proper competition laws? Time to force Apple to do it everywhere. Very long overdue.

I think resolution always refers to physical resolution of the display. But rendering can be using scaling to make things appear to the user in whatever real size regardless of the underlying resolution.

Linux usage is clearly increasing, so that answers your question.

I think the issue with requests to "release the client" isn't as simple as "you can use an open source alternative". Their Galaxy backend only handles Windows and macOS builds of games. Linux builds aren't incl

Protocol is well documented already, GOG aren't really blocking community clients: https://gogapidocs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ The problem is mostly that their backend isn't wired for Linux builds so yo

I use lgogdownloader, but yeah they should improve their Linux support. At the very least the immediate benefit would be Galaxy protocol support for their Linux builds.

I think it's good. CDPR essentially can be increasingly driven by shareholders. If they are making GOG private now, they can pursue their own vision without being pressured.

I've heard that argument before, but I don't buy it. Whole PC gaming is a counter argument. Let developers make games that scale according to hardware, instead of excusing things with weak specs.

I thought PCs are already doing it. I think AMD releases new CPUs and GPUs roughly once in two years, unless I'm missing something.
170.
by shmerl 10mo ago
Phones try to emulate PC refresh cycle. Is it healthy? You get new generation of CPUs / GPUs roughly once in two years. I'd say it's OK. You can easily skip a generation and upgrade say once in 4 years or even less frequently
171.
by shmerl 10mo ago
You don't have to buy it with each iteration, but at the same time if I'm buying one, I don't want to buy hardware that's many generations behind current one. If I build a new PC myself - I don't have such problem.
172.
by shmerl 10mo ago
They should refresh Steam Deck more often still. Laptops and phones have more frequent refresh cadence, why not gaming devices. May be it shouldn't be as frequent, but still more frequent than what it has now.

We clearly are not if this is happening.

Vulkan isn't a graphics API, it's a low level GPU API. Graphics just happens to be one of the functions that GPUs can handle. That can help understand why Vulkan is the way it is.

Something like that should be done in EDIDs may be, but you still would need to support a ton of different layouts in the end. LCD monitors are a lot more limited in that sense.

> So subpixel-AA is a really neat hack that can significantly improve text legibility, great! But, sadly, it’s also a huge pain in the neck! Especially when you have a monitor with unusual subpixel layout, which is very common for OLED

They aren't completely backing out, but I suspect their support levels will get worse.
