Ok, glad to be wrong there and more than happy to blame Windows then. I ditched it completely a couple years ago and I've been enjoying Linux gaming ever since.
I don't know the business negotiations of all that. But if you watch the video, Phawx basically uses one single command to lower the wattage on his Windows handheld and instantly triple the expected battery life. The underlying OS clearly supports it. Seems to me like the AMD driver just isn't detecting that the game has light power needs and so isn't throttling like it should.
I'm mildly allergic so yeah they will fuck me up.
If I'm in an enclosed space with one (e.g. car) I'll start a sneezing fit. And I assume if I eat one my mouth will itch or swell (not even gonna attempt it).
This quick video from The Phawx seems to show that the battery performance difference isn't actually inherent to Windows, but rather that the GPU drivers don't throttle down the TDP when they should.
Windows has plenty of other issues but it seems any frustration about this specifically should be pointed at AMD.
lol, totally fair. And fixed. Typed too fast while walking out the door.
Eh, I assume shit like this is made by some unpaid intern, not the main software developers. But yeah it still says something about their adherence to quality.
My sister in law recently quipped that "Trees are a social construct" and at first I thought she was just being glib but now I can't get that statement out of my head.
Huh. So they put it in one of those foil trays, like where people put hotdogs after grilling them. Seems a bit wasteful to only have one lonely log per tray. Oh well, TIL.
Pretty sure every pope is a multimillionaire (or at least lives exactly like one) without having to answer this question 🫤
I know, my friends won't stop taking about Corsica and Northern Ireland.
Welp, guess I'm stealing that for my new avatar image on every website.
Needs more Hannah Montana.
Any detector, even another particle: observes
Quantum particle: Quit pointing that things at me!!
That's not the best argument, since historically some popes took many years to select. Like, so long it was a major problem and they had to make reforms that included locking the cardinals in a room and taking away everything but bread and water at times.
Good details about the insanity in this Tasting History episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCs9aMkzBQ
Some fiction exists to inspire.
Like, we're on a direct path to the Star Trek: TNG post-scarcity civilization, right? With food replicators and transporters and holodecks and so forth.
The language thing sounds like real BS, but otherwise I haven't had any of those issues in Firefox on Linux.
I'm still rocking an old 1080p plasma TV, but I probably would have noticed if good-looking shows like Severance, Silo, and Foundation were only rendering at 480p.
It does do this stupid thing where if I hit spacebar to pause, it will resume on its own about 4 seconds later. So I have to actually click on the video with the cursor to actually pause. So that's annoying but nothing like a crash.
Yep, I've read a few of the others too. Excellent stuff!
You're amazing. Format is great. I just scroll past the stuff that doesn't interest me, but more often than not something catches my eye and I end up reading stuff I wouldn't have clicked on (let alone waded through ads for) on a regular gaming site. That's such a good feeling, and yeah, reminds me of the old days of flipping through gaming mags.
