FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.

And they definitely use it themselves.

I don’t mind the replacing thing. It’s the unexpected spicy pillow I don’t like.

I thought the Deck would discharge it to like 80% if it detected a long charge period. Maybe I’m just really lucky

I think that happened because “stealing” in the case it came to be known for was by download. So skipping the whole use of “steal” makes sense, because you quite literally cannot take the pirated song away from the publisher and profit from it. Unless you were selling bootleg consoles or burnt cds I guess

I always thought the “you wouldn’t download a car” thing was the worst comparison in any propaganda to this day.

Why the fuck wouldn’t I download a car? Is a better question.

Dang. You understand batteries. I was really hoping that it wasnt chance that the battery went poofy.

Time to do my paranoid check again

I hate lithium batteries. Every so often I see one of these type of posts and have to go through every single electronic in the house to check for spicy pillows.

Now, OP, please tell me you the let battery fully drain a bunch and recharged it full and left it there but not plugged in and when you did again you played until it powered off.

Because I know battery management systems, and battery management systems still need electricity to work correctly. If the battery gets fully discharged they can’t work correctly and occasionally the pillows get spicy.

So for real though, while it’s disappointing and I am nowhere near the 500+ hours i have put in previous titles, the hardware is not going to do it. The game eats VRAM like my brother’s ex ate cake.

But, I get about 5 fps @2k and 9FPS@1080p better on my Ubuntu image than my Windows 10 image.

Ryzen 9 5900x Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB 32GB DDR4, both images are on different 1TB nvme drives

So while, no you can’t, it’s closer.

So I’m not insane. Monster Hunter Wilds and Helldiver’s II both run better on my Ubuntu image with the same hardware than my Windows 10 image.

Does that mean that Proton and Vulkan are far more efficient than Direct3D?

Sometimes I throw off the linux admin reading my log by throwing in a pwd before going to the next one. Know it’s not gonna be in that directory you know?

Man if I survive to 2028, and have any money left, those cars are sexy

Oh cool, performance fixes.

Does it stop the frequency of crashes though?

Ok what’s the benefit Trump gets if Google is broken up?

Ok great! Time to get me some presents.

Psh if I’m writing at that level I don’t need the performance yet. Thanks!

Is there RISC-V hardware already? I thought the specification was still under development.

Look, yes, I’m pale, but I prefer the term “Monitor Tan”.

They wouldn’t want to use or derive any compromised software themselves. They would want any adversaries to have it implemented.

I haven’t looked at the keyboard drivers, or much Linux source. I never really had a reason to do a lot of C other than small microcontroller projects.

But I see this stuff and think of how awesome it must have felt to get a different keyboard working on an OS the first time. I have to do all this stuff with cloud, and api levels, and configuring CI/CD pipelines, and sometimes I get to write backend C# code or they let me play in the front end. Most of the time it’s telling another team of developers what to do, and listening to our clients explain the problems and I have to figure out if we already have anything to fulfill at least some of those needs.

These drivers are the divine marriage of hardware that’s not native to the machine that an OS is running on. It’s so beautiful to read. You can visualize where the values enter a memory address, and bits get shifted or something is static so the keyboard always uses the right thing.

I have two friends on Signal!

No one else believes me. Gonna be a weird future
