Maybe they're just buying these studios to acquire their IPs, code and artwork to train new AI's on. Then close the studio, as you've acquired all its data and it serves no further purpose to them. Probably hoping to release full AAA-AI slop in the future. Don't think it'll work and they'll waste enormous amounts of energy and resources before the AI bubble bursts and everyone realizes that current 'AI' (LLMs) will never become AGI.

You can use Open Source Sunshine and Moonlight for inhome broadcasting. You install sunshine on the source PC and use the moonlight app on the phones.

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases https://moonlight-stream.org/

It's meant for game streaming, so it supports controller pass through and what not, but you can also use it to just stream the desktop. It also supports multiple clients, although I have never tried that personally.

That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)

It's because it uses HBM (high bandwidth memory) as opposed to GDDR.

I don't think anyone was expecting a Ryzen 3rd Gen era board when you wrote decade old. It's been 7 years since that board released (although I do admit that's a lot closer to a decade then I though it would be).

This board will run any modern GPU. The motherboard doesn't need to specifically be compatible with certain GDDR generations or what not, that is handled by the GPU itself, which communicates with the rest of the PC through PCIe*. You just need to make sure the PSU can deliver enough power.

You should update to the latest BIOS and enable resizable Bar: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090831/graphics.html

*The ARC GPUs are 8° lanes of PCIe 4, your motherboard only has PCIe 3. This means that the bandwidth between the CPU and GPU is half of its maximum. In the vast majority of cases this will be a negligible performance difference of 1-2%, but some edge cases can lose you a bit more performance.

°If the GPU was 16 lanes this would be even less of a problem. Even the fastest GPUs can barely saturate 16 PCIe lanes. The fastest GPU, the Nvidia 5090, only loses 1-4% of performance when comparing PCIe 5x16 vs 3x16 (1/4 its max bandwidth): https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/nvidia-rtx-5090-pcie-50-vs-40-vs-30-x16-scaling-benchmarks

As a tall person... If someone kindly asks me if we can swap places, because they can't see from behind me, I will gladly swap with them. But don't expect me to do it for you. Also, if your being a piece of shit about it, you can get fucked.

No, not Proton, but the dxvk stuff works on Windows too. You just need to replace some .dll files

[–] dangrousperson@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Well there is d9vk and dxvk which translates directX 9, 10 and 11 to Vulkan and vkd3d which translates direct3D (directX 12) to Vulkan. So it's all Vulkan on the Linux side, Proton 'just' uses one of these to translate the game into Vulkan or passes it through if the game is already Vulkan.

I don't think there is a native (to GTA IV) Vulkan renderer in game though and therefore there isn't anything more you can or have to do on Linux.

On Windows, some older games actually get performance improvements from the translation to Vulkan.

I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.

Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly lurking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media

Don't think so, they say you can have it delivered or pick it up in a store on the 5th of June, the official release date

[–] dangrousperson@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

In Germany, you can just pre order the system from the large retailers right now. Even before you can on Nintendos own website.

Your comment made me curious and I tried looking for an answer. I found this forum post from 2008 asking basically the same thing. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=17953

The founder Clem answered:

Why the name MINT??

Long story... I was writing articles/tutorials for linuxforums.org for a while and I eventually decided to publish them myself, so I needed a .com and I thought of a name. Mint is cold, it's short, it's fresh, it's easy to type and to remember and in English it even means "cool", "good condition", "perfect" etc... I also liked the way Linux was associated with the poles, the penguins, the ice.. the way a pristine kernel was called "vanilla"... and so Mint was kind of close to all of that. Great name, no particular meaning... just a series of nice subjective associations I guess.

Clem do you like Mint?

It's my favorite non-alcoholic drink. If you ever go to Paris on a sunny day do order a "Diabolo Menthe" :wink: I also love the smell of Mint and the flavor (especially with lamb)
