When you buy Nvidia for Linux, you’re buying obsolescence. It will work fine for a while and then they’ll hard-drop driver support at a certain kernel version. Your 3d acceleration will last as long as you can run an LTS kernel compatible with it. You may have moved on by then, but I currently have 3 Nvidia laptops that have between limited and zero 3D support in Linux. If I cared to run Windows or MacOS, 3D would still work. MacOS would also be outdated, though. In the future, I’m going AMD only.

First of all, this is good. Secondly, clearly the tech bro writing this seems to have mixed up governing bodies. The reason why the EU is taking on the tech bullshit is because the people making the moves actually are young enough to understand the problems while old enough to care.

That said, there have certainly been implementation issues such as ignoring illegal cookie banners to this day without bringing down the hammer. The site with the story served up a rare compliant one, but most consent forms do not live up to the rules and it has gone on for too long. Still, they are moving in the right direction most of the time.

I know this will probably be unpopular, but that’s part of why I’m throwing it in here. Microsoft ToDo started out as a hot pile of garbage after they took over a great to-do app. These days it’s genuinely pretty great, though. Especially if part of what you do involves Outlook or Exchange. You can flag mails and have them show up in a to-do section, it will semi-intelligently suggest things to do next based on things in your to do-list, if you use planner or tasks at work, your things will show up in ToDo as well. I don’t use it for personal stuff, because having the option to quickly have Siri add something in Reminders is super convenient, but other than that it’s definitely a useful option - especially if you don’t use a voice assistant.

Oh, no. The Wii U connection was far, far more responsive.

It’s unified RAM on Xbox. And medium settings are 2165MB on PC.

Jeg synes også det tricky er, at man så skal stole på endnu mindre, ukendte udviklere. De har ikke længere Googles bevæggrunde til at snage, og de fleste er sikkert fine i kanten, men det er nærmest umuligt at sætte sig ind i som slutbruger - og relativt let at tage et build og tilføje noget, som kører under radaren og er en del af custom ROMen. Jeg er bange for, at de ikke får den samme opmærksomhed af sikkerhedsfolk som udgivelser fra Google/Apple/Samsung osv.

Very funny. Just saying that textures don’t seem to be the issue. Any number of other things might be from rendering methods to whatever.

I went back and had a look. It’s between 2165MB and 3720 MB based on settings. Doesn’t really seem problematic on the low end.

iOS. Så længe det varer. Det har været en dårligere og dårligere oplevelse de seneste år, selv om der på den anden side er låst mere op for ting som automatisering og sikkerheden er skruer yderligere i vejret. Jeg har været ved at kigge lidt på de forskellige alternativer som Linux og af-googlet Android, men umiddelbart har jeg ikke fundet en rigtig god løsning endnu. Jeg ville ønske, at de Linuxbaserede telefoner var lidt længere fremme i brugbarhed, men baseret på de oplevelser jeg læser om fra ejere af dem, virker de mere som devkits end produkter, der er klar til at køre.

There’s a difference between targeting 3-4 console SKUs and targeting 2. If you know what’s going to be your baseline from day 1, you test against that and scale up rather than the other way around. With a first party studio, this is a given.

Today’s Digital Foundry video suggests that this is far from the issue. Even the highest texture settings fit comfortably in 6 GB. IIRC it was around 4,5 - and consoles typically go for high rather than ultra settings.
