Still waiting for wikipedia to block itself in UK.

AdBlocker for YouTube works.

Couple days ago I had to install it on top of uBlock Origin on friend’s pc, since the latter stopped working on YouTube. Be sure to disable uBlock on YouTube.

I’ve heard you can play it on linux running the android version.

Try tidy.

Sun power for data centers? How do they transfer generated energy? Or are satellites themselves data centers? :P

Old hardware = better drivers

would bring a lot of users to better alternatives.

Most users of whatsapp don’t care about e2e. They hardly even know what it is.

I had to help people getting back into their system after an unknown bitlocker lock. Is this really about people “willingly” using it? If I’m not wrong it’s by default if you make an online account (which seems became an obligation with Windows 11).

I had the sams issue with a friend’s pc.
I just added a shutdown.bat on his desktop and told him to use it. Problem solved.

Until you discover dbus

Now there’s Android Translation Layer (ATL).

Newpipe (one of the best youtube client for android) is available on flathub:

Mostly Qualcomm’s cpus for automotive and enterprise servers and Meta’s (Facebook) custom AI chips.

For consumer products is still an hobbist with Linux exclusive.

SteamDeck 2 will still have an ARM.

Freemium has an amount of free between 1% and 99%

Of course when we talk about mipmaps, lower resolution textures, lod, or other technics to improve lower end gpus usability, the gains are more toward those lower ends. That’s granted, even because in that field optimization is more up to drivers and the engine itself rather than the studio (given they are not using an homemade engine).

Talking about other optimization, like cpu usage, again yes: results can be various, given not every cpus are the same. Lower ends commonly are faster in single threading rather than high ends which outperform in multi threading.

Ram usage too. Having the game more smartly using it would avoid issues, but still if your rig got soooo many GBs of ram, you can even load the full game inside lol (I know people having 128GB, mind blowing).

If you by “everyone”, you mean it. Like 100% of gamers, of course it’s not. One can play on the Frontier on all max-out settings.

in the case of our discussion, making the game run on Steam Deck, won’t affect everyone.

Indeed making the game run on Steam Deck involves more than optimization, like gamepad support and a proper UI scale (other than wine or linux friendly anti-cheat) which are beneficial not to EVERYONE but to what I think still a big piece of the cake.

What I was doin was speculating on optimization, which indeed is beneficial to everyone.
Being pushed to target a specific frame rate on a mid or low range device make you more aware of possible bottlenecks and things that can just be improved.

Lately there are a lot of studios who just don’t care because they expect you to have an hi-tier rig (or because they use one to test their own game, resulting in good enough fps), so you end up in simple scenes which use 100% of Gpu or whatever just because the engine is doing something in background actually useless. But since you must be running this on a powerfull pc, that still means enough fps. This leads to bad design choices, which is also the trend with not so savvy unreal engine developers.
