  • Apparently they renamed it to “sharp” at some point, probably because “fsr” doesnt mean anything to people who don’t know exactly what it does.

    First set scaling mode to “integer”, and change the resolution of the game under 1280x800. If the image shrinks, the game is actually changing the window resolution and not just render resolution. If not, try changing between windowed/fullscreen.
    Then change it to auto/fit/stretch/fill, and change “Scaling filter” to sharp, and you have FSR1.


  • FSR1 is a simple frame upscaler, it’s used as one of the methods for resizing the image when you render something at s lower resolution and stretch it to full screen, along with bilinear and integer. Very few games actually use it directly.

    FSR 2/3/4 are temporal (time based), they need to be implemented directly by the game engine but if they do have FSR2, (like Deep Rock Galactic), it works on the deck.

    FSR3/4 officially needs an RDNA 3/4 based gpu, which the deck doesn’t have, but the plugin/mod converts DLSS calls in to a RDNA 2 compatible version of FSR3/4.

    FSR3 without the frame generation part might also work on the deck natively, though I’m not sure if I’m misremembering.






  • I just upgraded from my trusty Pixel 4a to a refurbished Pixel 8, it would have turned 4 years old next week. The battery was completely shot at the end, I got maybe 2½ hours of screentime.
    I would have been perfectly happy with just swapping the battery and using it for the next four years, this p8 doesn’t really do anything new at all, it just does all the same things slightly faster.
    But I got a good deal on it, so meh.





  • Obviously, assuming you have that hill.
    Slightly harder to do in places like the Netherlands for example, where the tallest hill is 322 metres, and the second tallest that isn’t part of that same mountain range near the Belgium border is just 110.

    And in the US, Florida, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, and Illinois are actually flatter than the Netherlands - sure, the highest point in Indiana (Hoosier Hill) is 383 metres from the sea level, but the lowest point in the entire state is 98 metres above.



  • It isn’t, and many now do.
    Autosetting the glyphs correctly is actually one of the requirements for a Steam Deck Verified badge and Steam supplies a library that has them all, so modern games are pretty good at it. And if you implement that, you might as well add a menu option to change “Auto” to “Switch” or “Playstation”.

    There just was a quite long period where majority of games used Xinput thanks to Microsoft, basically only working with Xbox controllers, and as a response a whole bunch of controllers identify as Xbox controllers when plugged in. Therefore, xbox icons were the only thing they were “designed” to ever work with.



  • Yet it is.

    You can go to a company and ask to buy their office building. Or the name trademark. Or staff. Or customer database. Or website. And you continue this until you’ve acquired literally everything the company has except the actual company itself - it’s called an “asset acquisition” - so you get all the stuff, but because the original company technically still exists it’s left with most of the liabilities.
    Most, because some liabilities thankfully do transfer.

    In this instance:

    According to VPNSecure’s owners, their acquisition netted them “the tech, the brand, and the infrastructure/technology—but none of the company, contracts, payments, or obligations from the previous owners.”

    …how you can claim not to have gotten the contracts, yet be in a position to cancel them sound a bit of a, well, lie.
