Well, an increase from (60 to 70) fps to (85 to 87) fps is nothing to complain about. It was obviously completely playable when it was managing "a bit over 30" since it was designed that way, but I've no problem with more.
Apparently they have fixed the "vertex explosion" bug as well, where your face would occasionally turn into a mass of spikes that obscured what you were doing so much it was unplayable - needed a quit out and restart, and was the major interruption to the game.
Yeah. You can sell 'pure consoles' at a loss and make it up with games sales. This is basically a mini PC that you could reinstall the OS and use for any purpose. Selling it at a loss would be crazy.
If it's like anything else running in WSL, absolutely as slow as balls. Most Linux apps are written with the assumption that filesystem operations are incredibly fast, whereas that's not true with Windows. Most games open one big file and do big reads from it so it's not such a problem, whereas something like Git assumes that touching tens of thousands of files should be basically instant.
Well, yeah. The real advantage is only having a single file to transfer, makes eg. SFTP a lot less annoying at the command line.
Lossless compression works by storing redundant information more efficiently. If you've got 50 GB in a directory, it's going to be mostly pictures and videos, because that would be an incredible amount of text or source code. Those are already stored with lossy compression, so there's just not much more you can squeeze out.
I suppose you might have 50 GB of logs, especially if you've a logserver for your network? But most modern logging stores in a binary format, since it's quicker to search and manipulate, and doesn't use up such a crazy amount of disk space.
Can't find the original original, seems to have been reposted a lot starting a few weeks ago...
It's not a million miles away, but it's still got some problems. The 'extract archive' functionality seems to do it for me; think it must be wanting to pop up a (nested?) file chooser, but causes a session crash.
Cinnamon legacy for getting work done, and KDE wayland for playing games, for me. Nice to go 100% cinnamon though, for sure.
Indeed, one of the big things holding Wayland back is that you don't really 'support It', you have to support every damn desktop environment, and they're all moving targets. Gnome should fix their shit.
Am afraid it's not even the king. Eris is both substantially more massive and further away. In fact, it's the discovery of Eris that led to the realisation that Pluto shouldn't be considered a planet at all.
... and it's been doing it for long enough that it, and all the other plutinos, have settled into a 2:3 resonant orbit with Neptune, which takes 165 years to orbit the sun by itself.
Space is really big and the timescales are really long, in a way which doesn't really make sense on human scales, except for things which are so fast that they also don't make sense on human scales, like core-collapse supernovas.
The good news is that we're good at doing maths and we've built some big computers to do that maths, so we've no problems 'popping a few zeros' into the sums that we do.
Yeah, considering how dusty and hard-to-clean normal laptops are, this thing looks like hell. If you need a decent keyboard for extended typing, it's not so hard to carry a USB / Bluetooth one, this just looks like the worst of all worlds.
I understand that things have changed a bit since I first moved over to Linux - moving from Red Hat Linux to Ubuntu 'Warty Warthog' was such a revelation in overall user-friendliness and usability, back in the day. But upgrading my graphics card from an NVidia one to an AMD was a similar change. I might have only just installed the base operating system and a desktop environment and haven't got around to a web browser yet, but I've already got full hardware accelerated graphics - that's crazy.
Most distros now make the NVidia drivers a complete non-issue, I think? My 6600XT is requiring just a few too many compromises on new games, so I'll need something new too, sooner or later. I used to hold off on graphics cards updates until I could get something twice as good so that it was a noticeable upgrade, but I could buy a pretty decent second-hand car for all the ones which are 'twice as good' now.
An upgrade from a 1050 Ti shouldn't be such a problem. Well done on keeping it alive so long - I had a GeForce GTX 970 that would have been a similar age, but it let out its magic smoke years ago.
A fine question. But alas, my PC was only up to emulating it at 'PS4 native res', so don't know.
