Kind of.

The big thing that actually defines FSR2 is that it has access to a bunch more data, particularly the depth buffer, motion vectors, and also, as you said, uses data from previous frames.

The camera jiggle is mostly just to avoid shimmering when the camera is stationary.

That’s always been their plan, but it’s getting hit with Valve Time. My guess is that they won’t do it until all issues the major with NVIDIA GPUs have been fixed, as a public build that doesn’t run properly on a majority of machines wouldn’t go well. The latest driver is pretty good, but the Big Picture mode is still pretty much unusable.

At the very least they’re currently trying to bring official support over to other handhelds, as they’ve already confirmed that they want to official support for the ROG Ally and pushed out a update to SteamOS for the controller support.

That, and monitor/TV size increased a lot at the time when flat panels became a thing, so you need a higher resolution just to achieve the same pixel density you already had on a smaller screen.

Ok, now I kind of want this. I only have my PC connected to the TV, so I only need the power button, volume controls, settings and the D-Pad. A specialized cover would make hitting the right buttons in the dark much easier and also remove the ads disguised as buttons.

And you can even go a step further and configure it so all the ISOs go into a subdirectory. Then you can still use the USB for other stuff without it becoming a mess. Right now I have the following structure:

├ apps // Lots of portable apps, using the PortableApps system
├ data // For copying files between devices
├ images // ISOs go here, separated into Linux, Windows and Utilities
├ installs // For apps that need to be installed
├ secure // Encrypted Veracrypt store
└ ventoy // Ventoy config

All that on a tiny USB on my keychain and super useful when you’re the IT person for the family.

That’s assuming people actually use a parser and don’t build their own “parser” to read values manually.

And before anyone asks: Yes, I’ve known people who did exactly that and to this day I’m still traumatized by that discovery.

But yes, comments would’ve been nice.

On one hand I agree, on the other hand I just know that some people would immediately abuse it and put relevant data into comments.

At the very least it failed in a way that’s obvious by giving you contradictory statements. If it left you with only the wrong statements, that’s when “AI” becomes really insidiuos.

It’s a little bit faster for encoding and decoding

On the other hand, the time spent uploading/downloading much smaller files probably more than makes up for that, although even that difference might get pretty small with modern internet connections.

As much as I’d like to see this game preserved, I don’t think the dev can be held responsible when they’re refunding everyone who purchased the game.

They’ve also had a partnership with iFixit for a while now, allowing them to sell genuine replacement parts.

The process still isn’t what I’d call repair-friendly, but I’ve been able to replace the screen of my Pixel 5 without much trouble. What bothers me most is the use of adhesive and too many parts being bundled together so they can only be replaced in bulk.

Now I’m thinking about a proper “programming language” for cooking recipes.

Just imagine the possibilities: Automated checking for for allergies and such, easy substitution of ingredients as well as portion calculations, being able to fork recipes and change them to your liking, and later diff the recipes.

register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

Without background information that sounds kind of insane. Switching to alternative time tracking software and getting YubiKeys or alternatives instead for 2FA would’ve saved so much money as well as time every day.

Even further, there’s also a clean split between the game and the framework they’ve built for it. So people can actually build their own games or tools using the osu!framework, and some already did so.

Which is neat, because it seems to me like it’s really performant and of course, low-latency, based on what I’ve seen trying the new client.

Considering the movie industry is currently at a point where it’s even punishing paying customers with low-quality 720p for daring to use the “wrong” browser, I don’t think the industry will figure out that there’s a market out there for high quality drm-free media anytime soon.

At the very least, a save game editor wouldn’t be too hard to create when running your own server.

Though that got me thinking if there’s some kind of GDPR shenanigans one could already utilize to get all your account data. I kind of doubt it, but it would be hilarious.

Looking at this map there seems to be at least some correlation. There really needs to be popular advocates for each language and country, particularly for the smaller ones and those with a low english speaking population.

Agree. I don’t know this person, but at best he didn’t understand the campaign and also overdosed on defeatism. At worst he’s intentionally misrepresenting the campaign and lobbying against better consumer rights.

Well, in the case of Silksong specifically, an early announcement was all but inevitable, as it was originally a stretch goal that got turned into its own game. Even with their apparent preference towards minimal communication, they had to explain what’s happening if they didn’t want to appear like fraudsters.

Generally, I wouldn’t even be opposed to early announcements, as long as the devs were transparent about the status of the project and made it clear in which capacity the game is currently being worked on.

There really should be a right to adequate human support that’s not hidden behind multiple barriers. As you said, it can be a timesaver for the simple stuff, but there’s nothing worse than the dread when you know that your case is going to need some explanation and an actual human that is able to do more than just following a flowchart.
