last name? no because the last name is soo damn common that it would be impossibly to find someone solely by last name alone.

fallout works well because the lore of its universe is more important than the characters of the game. the characters shape the trajectory of how the universe shakes up, but when their story is over, its over. it makes writing new characters into the fallout universe very easy.

its in the review, in the super tux kart benchmark section. under vulkan, their FPS is functionally the same. Under OpenGL, Cachy is somehow significantly faster

I think this cant be some odd anomaly, because that gap is huge

well that and cachys opengl performance is like 1.5x the other distros in super tux kart, so if you had some legacy games, its run better in cachy probably but raw modern hardware would have likely made it trivial. the one exception i could imagine where opengl performance probably matters is heavily modded java minecraft

they sued yuzu not for making the emulator, but passing roms in a back room and using nintendos IP as marketing material for their content.

Ryunjinx was silently paid off behind the scenes.

making the emulator was not the problem, it was the actions surrounding the emulator that did the team in

I need this before Mariah Carey completely defrosts and destroys my ears

vram in the context of an igpu like an apple chip or strix halo is the same thing as system ram. its shared memory

its why strix halo and apple m4 chips are popular with users running local ai models, because those will cost you 2-4000$ for 128 gb ram, while the closest nvidia alternative is the RTX 6000 blackwell with 96gb vram costing 2-4x more.

the removal on the icon was supposedlu just gor icon simplification rather than on the physical product.

including 2 touchpads already makes the icon fairly recognizable for what controller its trying to convey

my opinion isn’t based strictly on the header. because to argue that the default is silent mode, when its very reasonable to assume that the middle tier performance mode is the default usecase, because it has a 80W/h battery when compared to typical other handhelds. Steam deck for example uses a 40W/h battery. 17W, which is seeing the chunk of the performance gain, is a very reasonable target for a 80W/h battery. Because it would roughly be equivalent to a steam deck at 10W on its 40W/h battery.

but a game may not necessarily need 13W, thats the point. youre using up more power than what is necessary because the CPU governor doesn’t know if its necessary or not to actually use all 13W.

The steam deck is controlled the same way(has wattage targets), but it understands when its being underused, to use even less resources to maximize battery life.

If you have a car that has gears, where gear 1 is 25, gear 2 is 50 (old cars), it doesn’t mean there aren’t usecases where you want to go 5/10. its unnecessary to always have to hit said target.

the main thing you get back is a better cpu governor to manage power consumption on 2d games. Reviews like the Phawks points out that microsoft kinda handed it off to the handheld makers to optimize for battery life. So in the instances such as getting 8hours of battery life running dead cells because the system doesnt really need to push that much to run the game, the Windows handheld is stuck on a higher performance clock and has a significantly shorter battery life time.

This would be extremely visible if more lighter games are tested, which typically aren’t for reviews like this because its not really fun to show a bunch of games all hitting 60 if you cap framerate.

the wine part, its more or less based on the end goal of the software. traditional game emulation is software that is used to try to mimic the hardware in question. Wine focuses on trying to be windows, rather than the physical PC hardware itself, so the type of thing youre trying to emulate is fundamentally different.

emulation in general is functionally a compatibility layer. Wine exists on the highest level of compatibility layer because its not trying to rewrite what the hardware is necessary doing (as both the hardware is the same)

Wine is the same level as Teknoparrot is (teknoparrot is compatibility layer for arcade maches that use X86 based pcs for hardware), vs MAME, which emulates non x86 based arcade machines.

it gets mega pendantic because of how closely emulation and compatibility layers are intertwined, but they arent two overlapping circles. a compatibility can use emulation but doesn’t require it.

I just like defining the difference between the two simply by the goal. emulation targets machine to then get to software, where compatibility layers target the software directly. and will target hardware only when necessary.

for the heavy games, itll likely not change much.

however with light loads and low clock gaming (e.g 2d clocks playing like dead cells or something) the cpu governor on linux is far more efficient. Microsoft is pushing that game to game optimization on the handheld makers when it should really be them doing it.

the bigger wall with switch emulation on android is that mobile companies are terrible at writing gpu drivers when compared to conventional desktop/laptop graphics vendors. its why for example the older snapdragon gen 2/3 outperform their newer snapdragon elite counterparts in emulation.

theres significantly more setup time on mobile because some of the jank doesnt “just work”

ive been using beeper so its a matter if they kill the API in my case. (im surprised they didn’t nuke the API first)

you can gain lactose intolerance later in life, or produce less galactase to be able to break it down.

its not inherently what youre born with.

Im definitely of the group whose tolerance has decreased overtime.

i mean, newer and future models are the kinda relevant part for GrapheneOS to jump over and get a new market of users.

i would have thought it would be oneplus, but theyve recently made bootload unlocking more restrictive, unless theyre walking back on that for graphene

are people expeting devs to infinitely support a game? one that isn’t even on the live service model in the first place?

thats why theres always an ongoing debate on grading homework. what matters more are the exam grades to show if a given person understands a concept, but it runs the riak of more people failing out without the weight of graded homework easing up scores.

back in middleschool, i was basically told i would instantly fail a geometry class if i didnt start doing homework, despite aceing exams. The goal of homework is to teach students more about meeting deadlines, and that message often gets lost in education.
