It’s cos they’re privately owned and so don’t necessarily have to be shit, where publicly owned companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders.

I am 100% certain it will be worth it. FROM have never half-assed a game nor expansion, Elden Ring least of all.

It’ll almost certainly not run very well, but I still played 100hr of the base game despite its poor performance. I preordered too because I know regardless of technical state it will be worth playing.

Apples actually generally pretty good at not wasting much screen space.

Yeah I have the dBrand Grip on my Pixel 7 Pro and it’s very high quality. Very durable, perfectly shaped to the phone, and even has lowered sides to account for the stupid curved screen etc. Never been disappointed with purchases from them.

1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

I’m 120hr in and honestly still love it. I still do wish there was a lot more variance in music though for sure.

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

Samsung Health is the only decent-good one that’s free, but I use LoseIt! instead for reasons I can’t really recall

80hr in and literally just started Act 2 lmao

*3 hour show + 30 min pre-show which still actually included a bunch of awards.

Exactly. I can’t believe how much praise people are giving Cyberpunk for not being broken anymore. Like bro that ain’t an achievement.

None of the things happening at Bungie are related to Sony at all, as the article states

It has constant awful shader compilation stutter.

There’s a difference between the display being flat and the glass in front of it being flat, which is what they’re pointing out, albeit badly.

The S9 was a significant improvement in performance etc over the S8 despite having basically the same design - my friend has an S9+ and he feels absolutely no push to get a new phone and I don’t blame him.

I agree, but more broadly about technology and working on it. That’s why I enjoy Lemmy and Mastodon but unfortunately my girlfriend literally cannot find anyone talking about anything she cares about on here.

The limited benchmarks I’ve seen put the new X Elite at slightly less efficient than the M2 Pro (let alone M3 Pro). It only gets marginally higher scores when operating at 3x the wattage.

Also, let’s not imagine even for a second that notoriously terrible ARM are going to make it easy to support this chip, especially not in the long term.

FSR is FOSS and pretty straightforward so I’d be quite surprised if it wasn’t already pretty feasible on the last few generations of devices.

Microblogs like Mastodon are excellent for following specific people, and for getting an overview of the current zeitgeist. Forums like Lemmy are excellent for following specific topics. Both are useful in different ways.
