Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.
But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.
I’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.
Good news, It’s coming out on PC.
I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I’m not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.
On the Steam Deck it already “just works” for a lot of games (with an OLED or an external display). So we’re not that far off for those changes propagating to Desktop.
Use Gamescope and a Vulkan layer. Here’s a more detailed post: https://planet.kde.org/xavers-blog-2023-12-18-an-update-on-hdr-and-color-management-in-kwin/
If you get the latest gamescope from git. You no longer need the vulkan layer.
Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40
As someone who owns an LG C1, not a single DP in sight.
Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.
To their credit, they released a tool to patch the bios yourself. Which is about all they can do in case they stop existing. https://github.com/DeckHD/BiosMaker
I like the game, but it doesn’t take advantage of the Steam Deck’s touch pads at all. A hybrid mouse/controller scheme would work very well for this type of game. And atm you can’t even make a custom hybrid control scheme because switching between m/kb and controller is bugged.
Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.
If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.
According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.
According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.
Interesting, I’ll have to look at the source article.
But as far as I’m aware the total amount of nuclear power has been decreasing in recent years. This might change with China’s future plants.
I’ve also read about small modular reactor designs gaining traction, which would help alleviate the heavy costs of one off plants we currently design and build.
Not saying the source is wrong, just saying that’s what I used to form my opinion.
I think that’s too simplistic of a view. Part of the high cost of nuclear is because of the somewhat niche use. As with everything, economies of scale makes things cheaper. Supporting one nuclear plant with specialized labor, parts, fuel, etc is much more expensive then supporting 100 plants, per Watt.
I can’t say more plants would drastically reduce costs. But it would definitely help.
I see a set-top box that uses the same SoC as a deck as a possibility if they can get it cheap enough. Maybe paired with a new Steam Controller.
Throwing UTC everywhere doesn’t solve comparisons around leap seconds. I’m sure they’re other issues with this method, but this is kinda the point of “just use a library”. Then it’s someone else’s problem.
Go to a library, some have scanners with feeders that will scan to a flash drive.
My understanding is the display uses MIPI (not eDP) which doesn’t support VRR.
I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.
