It is written that the APU on the OLED model is 6nm and on the old one is 7nm but all performance numbers are the same including power consumption, am I missing anything?
For context: DirectX support in Intel’s ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.
I think the fact is that most Linux users have a more technical background and work in the tech/IT sector. They know that filling a bug report requires a clear explanation of the problem, and steps to reproduce it, hence the greater quality of their reports.
But still makes me happy that even though Linux has a small market share, game devs actually start caring more for them. And a lot of this is also thanks to Steam, I don’t think we would be here without their relentless work to make this happen and the Deck.
If only GPUs were affordable. Right now buying a decent GPU would set you back as much as the price of PS5. Plus PS5 is great for the living room.
I also don’t use or have a CD/DVD/Blueray drive on my PC but I do have the PS5 with a disc, just because I want to be able to buy and sell second hand games, and that’s not possible on Steam. I bought the Witcher 3 complete edition for 5 bucks, a pretty sweet deal.
Keep in mind that there are efforts for independent investigation and all results at the time are inconclusive.
The truth is that many civilians are killed and continue being killed in this conflict, not to mention the humanitarian side of it. And that’s unacceptable. All people deserve decent living conditions no matter their skin colour, religion, and race.
One big benefit of the consoles is that you can resell and buy used games for really cheap on a disc.
I bought the complete edition of witcher 3 for 5 bucks and so far it has been my best investment as I love this game and have all 3 Witcher games on my Steam, but I refuse to pay those outrageously high GPU prices.
I was kind of hopeful that the new gen would be better, but they proved me wrong.
For me the problem is that the shareholders are putting enormous pressure on publicly traded companies requiring ever lasting exponential growth.
Back then I posted a thread about why I think publicly traded companies are bad for our society, as an unpopular opinion and I got severely downvoted, but hey isn’t this another example for the latter?
This SaaS model was born exactly out of this and it is the worst offender.
Back then we were able to own our own software/hardware, now everything is leasing and perpetual paying for things you need/use everyday. Thank God we have foss apps that in most cases are better alternatives.
But don’t you think that pretty much this debacle resembles Reddit and by now most of the users are back to their platform, exactly what they wanted.
Only the nerds and some mods left their platform permanently but percentage wise the number is probably very low and now Reddit is probably earning even more than before. So it is a win win situation for them.
