Yep. I thought $100 for 8TB was expensive when I checked earlier this year and now the cheapest one is $140. Fuck 😂

You can generally pass through modern Nvidia GPUs as the entire device, provided that you let go of it in the host. It not supporting vGPUs just means you can't virtualize and split up the GPU workload across multiple VMs, which I believe is also the case for consumer AMD GPUs as well.

The above post only applies for HTTPS traffic using a third party secure DNS - traditional P2P torrenting will leak what you are downloading to your peers. There are anonymous P2P networks like I2P that (allegedly) solve this issue, but it is not widely adopted.

For virtualization users, the driver addresses a soft lockup issue involving the vfio-pci module, which could occur after powering off a virtual machine with a passed-through NVIDIA GPU. This fix improves reliability for users running GPU passthrough in environments such as KVM or QEMU.

AMD friends watching from the sidelines

FydeOS is ChromeOS based, not android - in that area there's brunch as well, which is closer to what's officially distributed. I believe you are correct to assume that x86 android that you can just install on your own is not really a thing anymore.

wrong country 😅

cutting it from seconds to milliseconds.

Who in the world is in that much of a hurry to continue using their phone 😅

so there's an optimization problem in there somewhere

The optimization problem is actually the point of the study, encoded as PPD, which represents the density of a display's pixel per degree of your eye's field of vision. It says that any more than 53-94 PPD is imperceptible to most. You can see if your display makes the cutoff if you have the viewing distance and screen size here:

Nicks and Russel Mocs both have models with zippers and they are about as quality as they come.

I’m trying to understand, since it’s DRM-free, can I buy it and share with many people so they can play it on their PC?

You are not supposed to

Or there’s something that prevent me to do that?

Nothing technically

Does it mean that pirating GOG games is easy as transferring to other machine?

Yes

If so, I wonder why pirate sites like FitGirl still use cracked Steam version of games, why don’t just share GOG version?

Repacks are sourced from the scene, and the scene cracks video games. The fact that you get free video games out of it is a side effect.

Idk his render pipeline breakdown videos seem fairly in-depth. Is it just mumbo-jumbo?

Not especially, but it's deceivingly surface level and doesn't (and can't) get into why those decisions might have been made by the programmers. The big issue is that because of his lack of experience and insight into why certain decisions were made, he somehow comes to the bizarre conclusion that there is a set of rendering techniques that are either:

• Being hidden from us by "them" to sell hardware
• Have become lost arcane knowledge because modern renderer architectures are by and large incompetent

Frankly though I think in practice the difference between graphics in 2015 and 2025 is negligible compared to the difference between TAA (or DLAA/FSR/XeSS/FXAA/SMAA) and x4 MSAA. The only that comes even close is Path Tracing in CP2077.

"Modern rendering features are expensive and not worth it" is a reasonable take, but it's not what he's pushing.

I agree he seems like a sketchy af grifter, but I’ve not seen a single good rebuttal of his actual points, and even if he was a grifter, that doesn’t invalidate what he’s saying.

The examples he demonstrates in some of his videos are "not false", at least to the extent that he does click on some buttons on unreal engines and it does behave the way he says he does. So in this way it appears to a casual viewer that his "actual points" can not be refuted. But the grift isn't in what he shows, it's in the massive gap between what he shows and what he says afterwards.

That's the guy who's asking for a million dollars to "fix" unreal engine 5 despite having 0 programming experience and sends out dcma strikes for any videos that call him out on it, lol
