Some other stuff you might try is making sure you’re using proton experimental, and try the launch options: PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -dx11

Yeah, he can use something like nvtop. Should make it really easy to see if it’s being used.

I would hope so, but Asus has been doing things like this for at least 10+ years which makes me doubtful that anything will change soon.

Trying to refund through Asus will result in them dragging their feet, being as unhelpful as possible, or claiming you damaged the product.

I’d be happy to help out, but I’m on the Sopuli instance. I believe lemmy fixed the issues where you couldn’t moderate a community unless you were on the same instance, but I haven’t actually tried yet. I currently moderate !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

If you find good mods from lemmy.ml feel free to pick them over me, I just wanted to offer my help.

Ok, so this is a Lemmy post that links a r/ailess post that links a r/privacy post that finally links this Ars Technica article.

Why not just link the Ars Technica article to begin with? I don’t think there’s any good reason to link all these separate chained discussions.

It restoring deleted photos onto wiped devices that have been resold is a privacy nightmare.

It has an announcement banner at the top that (when clicked) says the site is being shut down in 6 days.

According to the original Riot post, 1 in 15 games has a cheater, and in some regions it’s 1 in 5 games.

But valorant has the same kernel anticheat, and has rampant cheating. So I don’t think the new anticheat will actually help.

To be fair, I think the backdoors they’re referring to would be ones meant to allow Linux users to play.

But with Riot being owned by a Chinese company, I suspect there are plenty of backdoors to go around.

there are a few Windows games running on Linux via Steam Play (Proton), that [the previous vm.max_map_count] limit can actually be exceeded – DayZ, Hogwarts Legacy, Counter Strike 2, and other games.

Sounds good, especially if Ubuntu, Fedora, and other distros have already made this change. Are there any downsides to raising this value?

Here’s the article without the paywall

So basically, the police were trying to catch a single person, and so the requested the personal details for all the user accounts that made up 30,000 views on a youtube video. Obviously, some accounts could have viewed it more than once, but we’re still likely talking about 20,000+ users whose privacy they were going to violate because it might help catch one single person. Absolutely ridiculous.

I’m not sure the steam deck even could ship with Heroic if they wanted. While epic should like the idea of valve making it easier to play egs games, Heroic is still a tool meant to bypass their product to play their games.

As an open source community project it’s fine, but Epic might not take it well if their biggest rival started advertising support for their game store through a non-epic launcher.

The most recent version of Yuzu (which theoretically has the best performance) is semi-locked behind their Patreon.

This was especially important when TotK came out, because they were making a bunch of tweaks to improve performance for that game. So people who wanted to play TotK needed to subscribe to get the best results (or build from source, I’m assuming).

6 years and 8 months, but yeah I can’t see them having the money, even if they saved everything.

My understanding is they’ve been making 30k a month from their Patreon.

Which is also the main reason they were vulnerable to a lawsuit, because they’ve been profiting off of the emulator (which why legal by itself, is only popular enough to make money due to piracy).

So in other words you were already boycotting them, and nothing has changed due to this lawsuit.

That’s a really good article, and it does a good job of highlighting the issues with modern day search results.

I’ve been guilty to use “best x” pages before, but if the website with the “best of page” doesn’t have specific reviews linked I usually look up individual product reviews for the good sounding items on other websites.

Reddit has long had an issue with confidently providing false statements as fact. Sometimes I would come along a question that I was well educated on, and the top voted responses were all very clearly wrong, but sounded correct to someone who didn’t know better. This made me question all the other posts that I had believed without knowing enough to tell otherwise.

Llms also have the same issue of confidently telling lies that sound true. Training on Reddit will only make this worse.

I’ve tried both of those, tree style tabs kinda works, but isn’t ideal. It’s also not an option on mobile at all, and I prefer to use the same browser for mobile and desktop for tab sync/etc.

I used Firefox on desktop and mobile for a few months this past year, but never got as nice of a work flow going as I had with Brave. Then a Firefox update for mobile broke the browser for a week or two (crashed on launch, resetting app data/reinstalling didn’t help) and I went back to Brave, and realized how much I missed tab grouping and some other stuff.

I’m keeping Firefox installed, and I’d be happy to switch back someday if tab grouping gets ported over.

People don’t like the creator of Brave because he’s supposedly anti-trans. He donated to some anti-trans political group iirc.

The browser also has some crypto stuff (web advertisment replacement, block chain based decentralized browser sync), and a lot of people hate crypto these days.

Personally I think it’s a good browser, the web needs advertising revenue to function and it’s solution to replacing web ads with optional browser ads that still pay the websites you visit seems like a decent solution. I respect the push to use a non-chromium browser, but personally I rely too much on browser tab groups to use anything Firefox based.

It’ll run well on a more power PC with AMD graphics card. Nvidia is currently borked.
