People with high end systems (5090s etc) are apparent having a lot of performance issues, and are unable to run the game at 60fps/4k without AI upscaling or frame generation.

There’s also a lot of complaints about stuttering, and the game wouldn’t launch at all for a lot of people when it first came out.

I’ve long heard that his identity is an open secret and a lot of people know his actual identity. Solid chance the UK government already knows who he is.

They were considering blocking Google from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine, which is almost all of Firefox 's revenue.

It kinda makes sense, chome being the dominant browser gives Google a search advantage, and the other alternatives (like safari and Firefox) both make deals with Google to have it be the default as well.

But removing those deals would be more disastrous for Firefox than for Google.

We avoided the worst outcome, they were considering killing Firefox to prevent a Google internet monopoly.

Yeah, I was recently reading about how a companies went from getting a couple hundred resumes a quarter to 1000s of resumes a month. They’re either using AI to try to process them, or ignoring resumes completely to use recruiter services.

From what I’ve gathered, MediaLab bought imgur years ago. A couple weeks ago MediaLab fired most of people behind imgur, because MediaLab is an AI-first company.

Since then, Imgur has recently started to have lots of outages/glitches/etc. Imgur has also started purging nsfw and political content.

The combination of the firing, problems, and content purge have upset the user base. I’m not sure what Oliver has to do with it.

Generally the same culture, but skewed towards more tech savvy types and online-centric culture groups. It’s a lot smaller than reddit, which helps a lot with the quality of interactions, but I think if it grew enough it would end up very close to reddit culture.

These are both on the Lenovo Legion Go S. The significance here is that there’s both official OEM windows and official OEM steamOS for this device.

Windows uses a lot of power just existing, so you can’t get any of the windows handhelds down to a low power consumption. I remember when the Rig Ally first came out, the verge tested it using 5-8w of power on the steam deck, and using 16-22w of power on the Ally. Some of that is the hardware (the Deck has a really power efficient chip for low power games), but a lot of it is windows.

Yeah you’re right, I had mostly been looking at the difference between the steam deck and legion Go S on that chart and barely even noticed the difference between windows on the legion Go S there.

My understanding is it’s mostly just the advantage of not having windows running hogging resources, so it should be a bigger gain for CPU bound games.

**Edit ** There can be performance gains from using vulkan over DirectX too, so there probably are GPU gains as well. It will depend on the game though

I think this screenshot is pretty telling.

Google maps auto suggests that restaurant name if you start searching for it, but then fails to actually pull up the location. Checking the actual maps location shows nothing there.

It’s pretty wild that this game is still in development, I remember reading about it back in 2012/13 ish.

Most models now are .safetensor files which are supposed to be safe, but I know in the past there were issues where other model filetypes actually could have attack payloads in them.

Apparently the video was presented after the verdict was already issued. This video had no impact on the actual outcome of the trial, and was more of just a closing statement.

So the judge didn’t approve this a testimony, but just found it emotionally touching.

As some others have said, the problem is probably that windows still has the drive locked. When windows “shuts down”, it actually is only closing your programs and going into hibernation. This leaves the drive in a read only state, which will prevent you from being able to resize the partition.

To do a full shutdown, you can hold shift while pressing the shutdown button on the start menu. Alternatively run shutdown /s /f /t 0 in a administrative command prompt.

I just recently bought a dryer. When I first got my printer, I was printing pretty constantly and didn’t really have an issue with wet filament. But these days I’ve slowed down my printing frequency a lot, and I’ve definitely noticed that the print quality gets worse the longer I’ve had the roll unsealed.

Japan in general has weird copyright/patent laws. For example the whole palworld patent lawsuits.

Good news is it probably won’t affect people outside of Japan, except that it will stunt games/etc made in Japan.

The most common cause of deaths from lightning is from ground current, where lightning travels through the ground, goes up one leg, and back down the other leg back into the ground. My understanding on it is that different parts of the ground have different conductivity, and if your feet are on patches of ground with different charge levels the lightning can go through your legs as the most conductive path between the two points. For similar reasons, I was once told that the safest way to move across the ground near a downed power pole (if you absolutely had to for some reason) was either to shuffle your feet while keeping them as close together as possible, or to hop on one foot.
