A lot of the EKS disadvantages, I've noticed, are from AWS attempting to make things complicated. On the GKE side it's really set and forget, just pick a release channel to subscribe to. AWS makes you do things like manage node OS

Fortnite is UE5 and runs well on phones. There's a lot of studios who can use UE5 poorly, and not a lot using idtech poorly to compare against.

I am not a graphics engineer so I hope someone corrects me, but my understanding is that Unreal uses a deferred rendering pipeline to handle complex lighting, and deferred renderers only work with temporal anti-aliasing. The FSR/DLSS u

I turn on my PS5 controller and it turns on my entertainment system and my game is right where I left off. All the games and the OS get silently patched while the machine is in "rest mode" too. Steam Big Picture means I get to dea

Are you conflating Asha Sharma with Satya Nadella? Asha just joined Xbox, she had no role in any prior decision making.

Valve is working on a game codenamed HLX that apparently uses a ton of physics features. No idea what "HLX" means though.

Steam only exists because Valve forced players to install it, force an online activation, and permanently bind their retail copies of Half-Life 2 to a Steam account. They also forced patching which meant in an era of dialup you couldn'

There is a tradeoff, the Steam Machine is double the price for worse performance and less storage.

Rockstar has already announced there's no disk for GTA 6, if you buy a physical copy it's just a download code.

Would be nice if they shipped a Flatpak, would cover a lot more distributions that way.

My newbie recommendation is https://bazzite.gg/ . It ships a very simple GUI package manager and the system silently updates in the background. It's also atomic, so rollbacks are easy and destroying the system is hard.

Best of luck, if you do end up needing your gallbladder removed (they don't just remove the stones) it's a pretty simple procedure. I was out of the hospital after a few hours. No negative effects, and I don't need to worry a

As the other commenter said, the gallbladder and the pancreas both share a duct, and if the stone is low enough you get pancreatitis from a gallstone. I was just that lucky.

As an occasional visitor, the city seems a lot cleaner and safer this year (I went last month) than the last times I visited in 2024 and 2019.

I got pancreatitis from Zepbound, but it was indirect. Turns out rapid weight loss can cause gallstones, especially if you're genetically predisposed to them. I had one that ended up stuck in the bile duct, causing acute pancreatitis.

This has been the case with every Rockstar game since GTA 3, and it works for them. It sells a ton on consoles, piracy is severely limited, still sells wildly on PC, and lets them "double dip" on sales because some people will buy

Godot 3.x supports C# on the web because it uses Mono. Godot 4.x migrated to CoreCLR since Mono is a dead end, but Microsoft insists on .NET being the entrypoint in a WASM build. MS initially promised support for .NET being invoked by somet

I drive an SUV. It's convenient! A Ford F150 is fucking ridiculous in comparison, and larger than any truck I remember seeing growing up, and there's people with F350s for personal use. One of them ran over and killed a kid outsid

This might explain why I like it, my first computer ran System 7.5 so I have fond memories of Classic Mac OS.

Its their reluctance to support a system tray and hide background application info behind a "control center"-esque widget and then a picture of a ghost that boggles my mind. https://linuxiac.com/wp-content/upl

Firefox already lost the browser wars. It's about 2%. Saying "you can use uBlock Origin instead of uBlock Origin Lite!" won't change this.

I switched from GNOME to KDE around the time 6.0 shipped, and I've been very happy with it. GNOME aims to be Mac-like but in my experience makes a lot of weird decisions. I've been on GNOME since 1.4 (2001?) I had such a great tim

> That’s a terrible way to create AI regulations This administration doesn't do regulations, its extortion. Same as the tariffs. Just grease someone's palm and then the vague restriction is lifted.

Part of me thinks fault lies with Anthropic for scaremongering, part has zero faith in the current administration especially after the "supply chain risk" designation. It may be safer to just move the company to Canada.

If I want to buy a small NAS that just runs Nextcloud and has a copy of my Google Photos library - what do I go with? I don't have a ton of space so something that fits in the media center.
