they play everything up to ps1/dreamcast, n64 not so much though.

Wait, but Dreamcast is newer than N64. Did you mean Saturn or 32X, or is N64 weirdly hard to emulate for some reason?

the R36S clones on Aliexpress, i got one on sale for ~€22.

Is there anything to watch out for, other than price (and maybe avoiding paying extra for a bigger SD card, if they’re unreliable anyway)? Do ones from different sellers have different software? Should I worry about trying to avoid malware, or just assume I’m going to want to wipe the thing and re-flash as soon as I get it, or what?

I want to get something with a physical D-pad and buttons off Aliexpress or whatever, but I have no idea how to sort through all the random no-name choices. The only other criteria I have is that I want it to be fully Free Software with no malware and the best value for money I can find.

What’s the best $35 handheld to get?

It’s less of a translation layer and more of a reimplementation. But yes, it does demonstrate how shitty Microsoft is that other people can implement its APIs better than it can.

Same, except I dumped them a lot longer ago. (And frankly, I didn’t own much from them even before that, except a '90s Walkman and maybe a few other small things.)

This title is not accurate. The GPUs worked on Linux already, but only with AMD’s old proprietary RADEON driver. The news is that they are now supported by the Free Software AMDGPU driver.

I agree, assuming the game was released reasonably “complete” and with a minimum of bugs the first time. Or in other words, if the devs were held to the same standard as they were back in the '90s, when games got mastered to physical media once and routine, easy bug fix updates weren’t a thing.

Lots of unreasonable devs out there.

I’m well aware of the meme. You used it inappropriately.

It’s not. it’s a completely different set of steps (at least at runtime). The Venn diagram circles don’t touch.

If your training data has a pixelated circle as an input and a circle as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a circle. If your training data has a pixelated circle as input and a high definition pie as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a high definition pie. Even if it’s the same algorithm in both cases.

it’s applying advanced lighting methods like subsurface scattering to make materials more lifelike.

It is not. It is approximating the results of training data consisting of output images that have been rendered with subsurface scattering. It isn’t actually running the subsurface scattering algorithm.

It’s not yet been decided what monetary damages, if any, will result from the ruling, nor is it clear if Subnautica 2’s release will be affected.

Sounds to me like fair damages would start with removing Unknown Worlds from Krafton’s ownership.

Not the person you asked, but for me:

• The music CD rootkit
• removing OtherOS from the PlayStation 3
• trying to push various proprietary formats like MemoryStick and MiniDisc
• DRM in ATRAC3
• etc.

Take your pick!

Good riddance. All consoles are cancer, by their walled-garden nature.

They will pay for it with the money we give them they extract from us by force.

I understand they say the modified ads are offensive, but it’s still kind of annoying that the article doesn’t include any side-by-side comparisons so we can see how bad it actually is.

Also, after getting blown off by their bullshit “highest internal team,” the developer needs to escalate to their legal department by suing for defamation.

Like Zwift.

I see how it exists for “Diablo II: Resurrected,” but how do people who own the original version of the game get it?

(Not that I plan to pay Blizzard any more money – I’ve been boycotting them since not long after Diablo II came out the first time – but I still gotta ask for curiosity’s sake.)

there is always going to be cut content

Or said another way, not having cut content means they released their first rough draft instead of editing and refining it.

Two free (major) updates: 1.5 and 1.6 both came out after Haunted Chocolatier was announced.

Not that I care at all about Disney games

That’s all well and good, until those monopolist fucks buy up a game you do care about.

Yeah, I upgraded to a 5700x3D a year ago, but if I’d known RAM was going to be overpriced for half a decade I would’ve gone 9800x3D instead.

Wish I knew about that trick back then! I shelled out for an X4…

Bulldozer was AMD’s Pentium 4.

To be fair, I upgraded my main desktop directly from a Phenom II X4 840(?) to a Ryzen 1700x without owning any Bulldozer stuff in between.

(I did later buy a couple of used Opteron 6272s, but that’s different for multiple reasons.)

What on earth is that much system RAM needed for lol.

Web browser tabs.

I’m OOTL. Why don’t people recommend GitLab?

I’ve been buying AMD since the K6-2, because AMD almost always had the better price/performance ratio (as opposed to outright top performance) and, almost as importantly, because I liked supporting the underdog.

That means it was folks like me who helped keep AMD in business long enough to catch up with and then pass Intel. You’re welcome.

It also means I recently bought my first Intel product in decades, an Arc GPU. Weird that it’s the underdog now, LOL.

This is what small claims court is for.

That is not the solution. The solution is to never buy anything from them again and for the guy whose order was cancelled to sue them for specific performance (+ court costs, obviously) and for the government to issue punitive fines.

Understanding what to do with P and E (and LPE?) cores in general I assume has been solved, but I would guess that each new CPU model comes out needs to be configured so that the kernel knows what arrangement of cores it has and maybe that hasn’t been done yet because the chip is so new?

64

Can’t say I’m “stoked,” but those two looked the most interesting in a list full of AAA licensed franchise garbage.

…my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily…

That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.

You’re saying “'Abolish all money” is anarcho-capitalist propaganda?" LOL, that’s significantly stupider than anything I ever expected to read. Congratulations. 🤡

Quit posting ancap propaganda.

The way this sort of thing would actually improve is by government regulation.

Fuck it, write everything in hiragana and katakana.

I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn’t go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.

I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.
