It’s not a misunderstanding. It’s well known that it’s easier to get relevant jobs in certain science fields than others.
Psychology is one of the hardest science fields to get a job in, and it’s also one of the most popular undergraduate majors. Put the 2 together and the end result is that the vast majority of psychology majors end up being unable to find a job in psychology.
Genuine Black Mirror moment
To give more detail: Proton uses a hacky workaround called fsync. Fsync was developed by the Wine developers but was explicitly not merged into Wine because, by their own admission, this is a really hacky workaround and it’s definitely not the right way of doing things.
For games, using fsync is far better than not using anything, and so Proton uses fsync. Apparently there’s recently been concern that the fsync workaround is going to become a bottleneck in modern games (not entirely sure the reasoning why), and so the Wine developers pushed for the development of NTsync, which is basically fsync if it weren’t a hacky workaround. NTsync alleviates the bottleneck that fsync creates, making it more robust, less hacky, and more futureproof.
In short, don’t expect any noticeable performance increases, but Proton might work more consistently and it might improve performance for future games
I don’t know enough about motherboards to really say for sure, and hopefully someone more knowledgeable can come in to correct anything, but I’d be concerned if that chipped off piece happens to be part of the voltage regulator module. My call is to play it safe with electronics, because worst case scenario is that it could fry other components or catch on fire
It’s impossible because emulation technically implies that there are hardware differences between the two systems, and the PS4 is literally just a PC with a special OS. My understanding is that PS4 emulation is more like Wine than a true emulator
Haven’t had issues at all on my end. I use Windows 10/11. I get crashes/weird shit happening from time to time, but I’m pretty sure that’s more Windows’s fault than anything
It doesn’t run well on the steam deck, but I generally am able to get 40-50 fps. I capped GPU clock to 1200 MHz, and that seems to help a bit
It’s confusing because both AMD and Nvidia call both frame gen and upscaling as the same thing.
Upscaling: GPU renders game at low resolution (eg, 720p), and then (semi) smartly guesses what’s in the pixels that weren’t rendered. You get improved framerates because the GPU is doing less work per frame. The downside is typically that the image is typically a bit blurrier, and depending on how the GPU guesses the missing pixels, you might also get ghosting, which is where moving objects leave a smear trail behind them. The general consensus is that if you plan to use an upscaler, you should only use the highest quality mode on the upscaler. Any lower and the blurring becomes too significant

Frame gen: GPU renders a frame, holds on to the frame, renders the next frame, and then guesses at what happened between the two frames. The framerate is improved because the GPU is inserting an entirely guessed frame in between every rendered frame. The downside is that because the GPU has to hold on to a frame, the latency is increased. More specifically, the time between when you move your mouse and when your camera moves will be increased with frame gen.

Terminology:
AMD FSR 1: semi-dumb upscaler
AMD RSR: literally just FSR 1
AMD FSR 2: semi-smart upscaler
AMD FSR 3: very slightly smarter upscaler than FSR 2, and comes with semi-smart frame generation
AMD AFMF: literally just the frame generation part of FSR 3, but slightly dumber
nVidia DLSS 1: semi-dumb upscaler
nVidia NSR: literally just DLSS 1
nVidia DLSS 2: semi-smart upscaler
nVidia DLSS 3: smarter upscaler than DLSS 3, and comes with semi-smart frame generation
Intel XeSS: semi-smart upscaler
I see that Louisiana is run by Clay Puppington… How many “lost commandments” are they going to include?
I don’t think it’s true that people don’t care about the Ryzen AI chips. Stupid name for sure, but this is really Strix Point, the laptop chips. What that really implies is that any AMD laptops going forward will not support W10, which will affect quite a large number of people
I’m personally not a fan of Mint - tried it for a month or so. My impression is that if it works with your muscle memory, it works well. If not… then even Windows ends up more user-friendly.
I’m particularly not a fan of the “start menu” because you don’t really get a lot of space for pinned apps, and there’s no way to really modify that. I ended up liking KDE quite a lot more. It takes a bit longer to set it up to what you like, but its customization means that while there’s a bigger upfront cost to setup, it’s much smoother once it is set up.
I’m using KDE Neon (Ubuntu + KDE), which I’m pretty happy with. But I’m also debating whether to switch to Kubuntu (also Ubuntu + KDE for some reason)
The question is designed to be as divisive as possible. It categorizes large swathes of people into just 2 groups - man or bear. The man group contains mansplainers, but it also contains regular people who simply view humanity as naturally altruistic. The bear group contains people with concerns about men overpowering women, but also contains people who earnestly believe that most if not all men will try to do it if given the chance.
The problem is that people either are unable to or unwilling to acknowledge that these categories are not monolithic. And in claiming that all people in the man group are incels, you are inadvertently insulting everyone in that group. Likewise, in claiming that all people in the bear group are misandrists, you are inadvertently dismissing everyone in that group.
It is not productive to make claims about people based only on their answer to the question. In fact, it appears to be entirely the intention of the question to divide even rational people by exploiting the general human inability to see subgroups within larger categories
I would agree with you, but there was apparently evidence that specific patches were made that allowed TOTK to work. And then if you take a look at the link, there were screenshots of the Nintendo documents to suggest that TOTK apparently was not the Yuzu team’s first rodeo when it came to patching for pre-release games
I tried looking for it, but all my searches are flooded with articles about this current takedown wave. I did find a forum post talking about it, though, so I know I’m not crazy.
I might try searching again later, in which case I’ll edit this comment.
Also, I know this isn’t really relevant to the question, but the Yuzu team was doing some really shady stuff, even ignoring the development kit usage. For instance, they were collecting telemetry data from all of their users and were using illegally obtained roms to optimize Yuzu, to the point where the Yuzu team was able to get games to work before the game’s official release
So, I agree with your general points, but I think part of the reason Nintendo is so harsh towards Yuzu is because, as far as I’m aware, Yuzu does actually contain proprietary code from Nintendo.
My understanding is that the Yuzu team used a Switch development kit instead of reverse engineering the Switch as they had claimed, so the entire code is essentially tainted because it’s unclear which parts came from the development kit and which parts came from true reverse engineering
I’ve switched to W11 on my main rig, since Linux doesn’t have the sort of compatibility that I can rely on for my work. I installed explorer patcher to restore W10 start menu, task bar, and right click menu. I combed through the settings to deactivate all the data collection settings.
On my laptop, I dual boot W11 and KDE Neon.
It’s the best that I can do given the circumstances
Nobody here seems to have read the article, so to clear things up: Onerep’s CEO is the one running the people-search networks. Mozilla’s CEO was not. (As far as we know.)
Mozilla dropping Onerep is a good thing. It shows that they respect user privacy.
Virgin embarrassed H-game enthusiast:
“Haha they’re just jokes bro”
Chad owns-up-to-it H-game enjoyer:
“Yes, I do have 137 hentai games, what about it?”
Same thoughts. Mainly because it’s such a pain to explain how the library access system works in the previous family share.
It could be a misconfigured bios, it could also just be broken. Would it affect you if the 4080 turns out to just be broken?
