narc0tic_bird,

I don’t think there’s a large scale obesity problem in Germany.

narc0tic_bird,

What are you missing without it? If you don’t missing anything, I wouldn’t bother. The Nitro Deck seems to add back buttons for example, but they’ll probably be limited to simple button mappings, nothing fancy like you could do with Steam Input for example.

narc0tic_bird,

What is this about? That the firewall is missing by default?

EA is looking at putting in-game ads in AAA games — 'We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that,' says CEO (www.tomshardware.com)

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said,...

narc0tic_bird,

Or just vote with your wallet.

narc0tic_bird,

We’re talking about an entertainment product here though, not who’s going to be the next president. Voting with your wallet always works for yourself in this case. Don’t buy the ad-infested game = you don’t get an ad-invested game. Simple as that.

Sure, if many people follow and nobody buys their ad-infested games, they’ll change it up. But even if they don’t, you still benefit by having “voted” yourself.

narc0tic_bird,

So the zram change didn’t make it? I thought it was a great change, but it’s not mentioned here.

Kernel 6.5 is an odd choice as 6.6 is the latest longterm release.

Great that Mesa is up-to-date though.

Does overclocking support for the LCD Deck mean we can increase frequency?

narc0tic_bird,

Some people care too much about an ad. I guess some people can’t live without at least a single controversy per day.

You could probably take any ad and argue why it’s offensive to some people in some way.

narc0tic_bird,

I get that this ad implies the (new) iPad can replace all the other stuff that got crushed, I just don’t get how this can be so upsetting to people: it’s an ad for a product. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Apple is hardly going to destroy the market for all the stuff that got crushed.

I can disagree with something and still not be offended or upset by it. As I said, sometimes I feel like some people want to be offended/upset.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

narc0tic_bird,

What’s the USP of Deezer over Apple Music now that the latter has lossless streaming as well (and live lyrics for longer)?

narc0tic_bird,

They’d have to redesign their SoCs. The memory chips are right next to the SoC with the M chips.

narc0tic_bird,

Cool!

narc0tic_bird,

I actually get Prime TV series from the high seas even though I’m subscribed to Prime. It’s simply better UX this way.

narc0tic_bird,

You can opt out by simply not buying one :)

narc0tic_bird,

Looking forward to playing this again in coop later!

narc0tic_bird,

…because it tends to enhance visuals?

Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose (arstechnica.com)

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you’re probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you’re connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn’t...

narc0tic_bird,

The title is misleading in that the attack isn’t against the VPN apps or even the VPN protocols, but against the networking stack of the operating system.

I also don’t get much value out of the statement that “every” OS except Android is vulnerable. Do they really mean all other OSes, or just what would come to mind for most people, i.e. Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS? What about the various BSDs for example?

narc0tic_bird,

Verstappen himself said the car didn’t feel any different after he hit the bollard.

Sure, maybe it damaged something. Or maybe he picked up damage from something else, debris or whatever. But it’s also clear that Red Bull didn’t get the setup right in Miami and that McLaren had serious pace.

narc0tic_bird,

Like others said an Intel CPU with iGPU, alternatively the cheapest Intel Arc GPU (A380?) supports the latest spec of Intel QSV as well.

narc0tic_bird,

You are likely using X11. X11 treats all enabled displays as one “screen” and therefore different refresh rates will have issues (as will VRR for example).

Wayland is the way to go, but the NVIDIA drivers are still buggy with Wayland. Pop!_OS currently uses a desktop environment based on an outdated version of GNOME, so it probably won’t be amazing under Wayland.

I’d recommend using a distro with a recent version of KDE Plasma as it has non-experimental support for VRR and great support for Wayland. You’ll also want an up-to-date kernel and the latest NVIDIA drivers. I recommend Fedora KDE Spin or openSUSE Tumbleweed. Installing NVIDIA drivers is a little bit more involved (search for “RPM Fusion NVIDIA” for Fedora), but very doable.

I personally switched to an AMD GPU because of the issues with NVIDIA, but NVIDIA support is improving so you’ll probably be fine.

narc0tic_bird,

Norris finally won one!

Great pace in the McLaren and obviously a bit of luck with the safety car. But even if the SC wouldn’t have wrongfully picked up Verstappen, the SC would’ve needed to wait another lap. Norris was around 10-11 seconds ahead of Verstappen when the Safety Car was called, and a pit stop under SC loses you around 9 seconds according to the strategy article on formula1.com - so he would’ve probably been ahead anyway. But even if he would’ve been P2, the pace advantage would’ve probably been enough to actually overtake Verstappen. I think it would’ve even been a close race if there was no Safety Car at all.

Funny how Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and Aston Martin go for the big names (Hamilton to Ferrari, Newey in talks with Ferrari and maybe Mercedes, Mercedes wanting Verstappen badly, Aston signing Alonso and having an engine deal with Honda from 2026 etc.), meanwhile McLaren is comparatively silently developing their car and they already have a mega driver lineup.

narc0tic_bird,

Norris just got the race lead for free because the SC picked up Verstappen…? Even with the faster pitstop he should’ve ended up behind Verstappen normally. Very weird one.

narc0tic_bird,

Multiple moments between HAM and MAG gave me VER/HAM '21 flashbacks.

narc0tic_bird,

This isn’t the first time this year where the first Q3 runs were quite a bit faster than the second runs. I don’t think anybody but Perez improved in their second run.

narc0tic_bird,

Btrfs has many advantages over ext4, but being faster isn’t one of them.

narc0tic_bird,
