It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.

If you’re bad at a multiplayer game, you’ll die a lot. That’s just part of it. Any good game will give new players a way to fight good players (TF2 has the anti titan weapons for example).

Poorly designed games will punish bad players for being bad (like unavoidable COD killstreaks for example).

SBMM is just a band-aid for a problem that lies much deeper.

The solution is simple: Create lobbies by ping and then split the teams by skill. I think titanfall 2 does that, I’ve been playing for a long time and if I meet another veteran, they are usually on the other team.

It’s already back to working for me (frankfurt data center) and I was able to order my new deck.

They chose a 90hz screen and put that in the fine print? Alright that’s it, anyone want my old deck with gulikit sticks and a jsaux backplate?

I’m tempted, the screen is 0.4" larger and that’s my main gripe with the deck. I’m surprised that it’s a bit faster and also a little annoyed because they wanted to keep the hardware around for a long time to make a stable target for game devs. Now that target will be the OLED and devs won’t care much about the old one, so early adopters will get more stutter later down the road.

1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.

In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn’t run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it’s clear why they verified it.

I wonder how different the list would look if it wasn’t verified.

I don’t get why cyberpunk is consistently that high on the list. It barely runs playably on the deck.

Using a phone that doesn’t get security updates anymore is negligent. Don’t try to make it work, just buy something that has basic security at least.

It’s an MMO, you can’t just go out and mod that. You could mod it visually, but that would eat into their profits from the store so it makes sense to not allow that as long as the game gets updates.

This isn’t about influencers, it’s about basic privacy rights being taken away.

What a shame, I wish they had some spare money to pour into elite. It’s a great game that deserves some love.

runs Windows 11 software.

It’s a no from me.

Because by crowdfunding, you can ensure that it’ll take longer to make than the competitor’s next generation.

You can use custom ROMs with google apps, they just generally ship without any. It’s just an extra zip that you need to flash after the ROM.

Thanks for the genuine reply. I thought union members trust their union to manage the strike fund well and decide when an actual strike is necessary, but that’s apparently not the case.

Why would union members ever vote against authorizing a strike?

Agreed, there’s enough room to go two lines down and many up. Android can already go up/down without issues if you have a keyboard with arrow keys, so keyboards would just need to implement the gesture.

IOS also has contextual tab buttons that are very nice. I wish other companies would copy the things apple does well instead of the bullshit they actually copy.

It has both by default. If you hold, you get the language selector but if you swipe, it moves the cursor. Gboard also has some acceleration on the swipes which makes them wildly imprecise, now I use florisboard which doesn’t do that.

That was originally a Gboard feature but it’s great, so every decent keyboard supports it now.

It still supports the pixel 4, which was released 4 years ago. Google stopped supporting it a year ago.

If google does maintain their stuff properly for 8 years, that means grapheneOS will also easily do 8 years, maybe even more.

I never noticed, ublock origin seems to be doing its job.

They had three days of load testing and the infrastructure still failed on launch.

Sounds like the devs knew it wouldn’t work but management insisted on launching anyways.

As you said, proper google services instead of microG. It’s been a bit since I used it, but it wasn’t great back then.

Have you seen the surface book? It could have twice the battery capacity if they just put more batteries into all the empty space.

Some games like Ultrakill are short and sweet, but others like Factorio can keep you busy for weeks. Both of them felt right for me, but then again I have quite a bit of free time.

If you like shooters, check out anything from New Blood, Turbo Overkill and Postal brain danaged. Those games are segmented into individual levels, which is great for when you just have half an hour.

From a money perspective, probably. But there’s also the PR perspective to consider, and they threw away an easy win there. Starfield can run decently on the steam deck and if they cared to optimize it for that, it would have been a big win.

Good to hear, maybe the minimum specs are just a very conservative pick for this game.

They probably optimized the minimum settings for that and spent zero time considering low-spec PCs.

I’d guess that this is a management issue and not a development one.

They are sabotaging their own sales by not doing it. Starfield is such a hyped game that many people who don’t usually game much will want to play it and those people tend to not have the most up-to-date hardware. The PC I built in 2018 for about 1100€ is pretty much exactly the minimum spec for starfield. And given that minimum specs usually target 30fps for some reason, I’d need this mod if I wanted to play it at a reasonable framerate.

It’s sad that this is necessary. And given that it took less than a week for modders to get actual performance gains means that bethesda could’ve easily done it themselves.

Of course they will, but the fact that businesses don’t have to buy everything as a pack means that they will consider alternatives to office and onedrive instead of just using what they pay for already.

Nice, that means more businesses will finally be able to escape the total microsoft dependence and just use the products they need.

The springs are on the cable side for USB-C, which is good because those are always the thing that breaks first.

Apple has them on the port, which isn’t ideal because it’s hard to replace that port once it fails.

USB-C ports are very hard to damage. I scratch the dirt out of mine with a needle about once a year and since the springs are in the cable, you don’t need to be careful.

Same, the wiki and forum are just too good to use anything else.

Back in the day when mobile data was multiple euros per megabyte, I had an ipod 4G as my first ‘smartphone’. The UI was unbelievably smooth for the time but I found the OS very limited, so I jailbroke it and tinkered a lot with it. After the release of the iphone 6, apple shipped an update to my ipod that made it super slow. Most games that would run perfectly before became unplayable over night.

That day I made a decision to not buy or recommend any apple devices. Android was great back then, so I never looked back.

A couple of months ago, my dad got an iphone for work and after playing around with it for 20 minutes, I wondered how anyone uses this. The UI is very slow and glitchy compared to my oneplus 8 (which is a 3 year old phone at this point) even when I switch my phone to 60hz to make it fair.

It always just seemed like I’m fighting against the system. Never did I have that “it just works” moment, until I’ve got my first Android, and realize I have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, and I can install what I want, and if there’s a problem, I can look things up and fix it myself.

I very much agree with that statement and find myself in the exact same position with windows, so I’ve switched to linux. It’s genuinely incredible how much better it is after gaining a few dozen hours of experience with it.

Interesting idea, but why depend on such unreliable things as mental arithmetic and your eyesight when you can just have OSMAnd+ scream at you to go slower?

Don’t use telegram for personal stuff, it’s not encrypted and therefore less private than whatsapp.

Telegram is entirely unencrypted by default, so you shouldn’t use it for anything you wouldn’t say out in public.

Sounds like they didn’t learn anything after what happened to 2042’s portal.
