The 14th gen didn’t only have problems with Linux and I still don’t trust Intel when they say they “fixed” the CPUs disassembling themselves. Given the money involved I’d definitely advise against 13th and 14th gen Intel in any case, just not worth the potential headache down the road. Either go with older Intel or AMD.

The key problem why “Runs on SteamDeck” exists is not the raw power of the SteamDeck (or lack thereof) but the compatibility with Linux. Unless someone decides to utterly cripple a handheld for the sake of battery efficiency any game labeled with SteamDeck support will also run on any other handheld running SteamOS.

The problem with the SteamMachines ultimately was the lack of game support. The hardware confusion was just the cherry on top. You could even argue that the lack of supported games back then meant a limited number of customers would be interested which in turn led to companies releasing underpowered hardware. By that logic one can even claim the failure of SteamMachines is entirely down to the piss poor Linux support then.

You’re right, I must’ve still been half a sleep or something because I swear when I read that earlier I read the Read Speeds flipped(so Raid 10 read speed as belonging to Raid-Z2 and vice versa)… my bad

Technically yes but (without reading the article) going by what drivers were removed previously any affected device has been incompatible with modern linux kernels for a while so this probably doesn’t affect anyone’s experience using linux

well good riddance, that ‘joke’ got massively overplayed and has not been funny for a long time

Not quite, a Raid 10 offers you faster writes but slower reads, it’s not universally faster

Pretty much yes, codeberg integrates some additional services and branding on top (such as codeberg-pages for static page hosting or forgejo-runners for CI) but you can integrate those yourself as well, it’s just extra work.

If you’re looking for an open alternative to github/gitlab codeberg is imo definitely the way to go

technically the same as forgejo, codeberg is the main forgejo contributor/the org owning it

Yes it was, the release notes explicitly specify it for 1.32.4 and 1.32.5

Onyx uses Android for their OS as such there are pretty much no restrictions on book formats

nah I’m just an instance admin, I also see deleted comments. Decided to reply anyway to clear it up.

because valvle only removed support due to chromium removing it as well. Steam uses chromium in a few places so they likely figured ending support would be easier than creating a win 7 client with limited features.

I’ve found that my problems went from “minor annoyances that occur regular with no way to fix other than waiting for it to fix itself” and “major annoyance with workaround, has been like this since Windows 7” to “this bug almost completely breaks your system but the first search result has the three steps to permanently fix it”

Granted I’m on Arch and Plasma 6 Beta so that’s to be expected

This is absolutely awesome, I love it already. Substreamer had some real annoying quirks but it was the least worst option I found so far, this is better in almost every way for my use case

You have no idea how much easier it is to mod a game when you can look at the source code. GTA V has a thriving modding scene despite its source being unavailable for modders.

You can also tell just by how jpegged the image has become.

A house exists, in order to remove ownership of that hous you would need to physically expell the family living there. A story is fictional, it does not exist and removing the copy protection from it does not require actively harming the inheritors of the person who wrote it.

A house is also not so much generational wealth as it is generational ownership. You don’t get active revenue from a single house if ypu are living in it. And generational wealth is pretty fucked up and should not happen.

Besides if an author really wants to make sure their children are taken care of, teach them to continue the story, the family name will ensure they get more sales than anyone else writing stories in the same universe as the original.

they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip

I remember when Zen dropped and everyone thought Intel had some sort of secret super architecture stored in the archives that would allow them to compete. Turns out no, they had nothing. They still have nothing. All they do is make the silicon larger and crank up the clocks. Ironically reducing their margins in an attempt to out-compete a vastly superior technology.

At this point I’m afraid AMD will get into the same position Intel was in during the Bulldozer era and price gouge just as much but unless Intel somehow manages to make chiplets work without infinity fabric (they can’t use it because patents) I really don’t see them putting out compelling products in the next years. AMD is steadily gaining market share because year after year their products are objectively better in increasingly many categories. Zen was just plain cheap enough to counteract the lacking performance but no AMD has the cheaper AND faster tech for most use cases. The last bastion Intel really has are laptops and once that is gone I can see a lot of OEMs start selling AMD products en masse.

I’m much happier with a company that is satisfied with its market, does what it does well, and leaves it at that

No problem here, yet

I’m not a believer of “more money for the money gods, ever increasing profits, let’s fuck over some more consumers and further line the shareholders pockets”.

points at Skylake explain that then. Let’s not pretend Intel was a Saint while AMD was busy running their business into the ground. Intel was price gouging the hell out of consumers back then. Intel had a whopping 9% performance gain over two CPU generations. We get more than that now in a single one (well if you’re not Intel that is but more on that later). Intel is not one of those saintly companies you outlined in your previous statement and it never was. When they had the chance to price gouge time and time again they showed that they will do exactly that. Let’s not get into their anti-competitive practices whenever AMD actually manages to get something good out.

And while at it Intel is not even good at making Desktop CPUs anymore. They are stuck on monolithic chips that cost a shitload to manufacture so while AMD is busy reducing their production costs and improving their flexibility Intel is still reeling from Zen 1 and seemingly can’t do anything other than making bigger and bigger chips at higher and higher voltages. I don’t have their internal financials but looking at what’s publicly available they are running out of excess margin to bleed off. Their (high-end) products don’t make them a lot of money anymore, if that, because the yield for them is just abhorrently bad. They got hit out of left field by Zen but instead of sitting down and acknowledging that they fucked up and “innovated” themselves into a corner they doubled down on monolithic chips and dug their grave deeper. And why? Simple: innovating costs money and Intel is all about profit so that was a big nono.

If they push someone else out, that’s more specialties lost.

History shows that rather happens due to monopolies preventing new players from entering a field (infamously the dozens of potential cancer cures that just landed in big pharma’s drawer of patents that don’t make enough money) but you do you I guess.

but I’m much happier that their GPUs have generally flopped

You shouldn’t be, we have 2 companies competing there and it isn’t going very well for the consumer. Fewer companies in an industry = less competition.

Oh and of course

reliable desktop CPU

yeah well that one is easy if you stop drastically changing your product while still increasing prices as if you were.
