Sir I think you have stumbled into the wrong sublemmy

Cat walking across the keyboard

Yeah the steam deck will be faster than that. 4K video editing? Not gonna be great but it might be tolerable. 1080p? Heck yeah.

And if said tradesperson doesn’t want their equipment to get wet in the rain they get a van instead.

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

You copy pasted 3 possible answers from the font of infinite possible answers. OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.

Those cost money too

To be fair, LLMs are very good at this sort of associative lookup. But I agree that it doesn’t add much to thr conversation. It’s like the modern equivalent of letmegooglethatforyou

Do you have a source for the CIA backing claim? I can’t find anything substantiated with a quick ddg search.

I’d be more worried about the windows bootloader deciding to overwrite grub

For a company this big it would also have to have gotten past a code review and QA team, right? … right? …

Depends. Since this is security software it probably has a kernel driver component. I think in linux a 3rd party kernel module could do the same. But the community would not accept closed source security software, especially not in the kernel.

Well if everything’s working correctly you’d want the desktop itself to stay close to the sdr values but have applications that are HDR capable to make use of it. Otherwise you’re limited to full screen apps making use of it.

I can recommend this site for up-to-date and fairly neutral parts recommendations split by budget https://www.logicalincrements.com

Honestly the LCD decks are so cheap, especially with sales, I don’t think you could build a gaming PC for that price.

It works in KDE + Wayland… mostly… for applications that support it… and there was this update that ruined my color profile for a while but they fixed that now!

Ah I did some more research and what I said only applies to the older Elgato devices. They did use h264 as the format over usb and you could use that directly without recoding. But they moved to a custom format due to delay and decoding overhead. And ofc you’d want stream ovelays and such which also requires reencoding.

You are correct that the Elgato does video encoding. And that if you use your GPU it’s putting a little bit of extra load on the GPU. But it’s negligible since the video encoding is a separate part of the chip. Maybe you’ll lose a percentage of FPS due to power usage snd bandwidth, but honestly the same is probably true for the CPU load caused by USB bandwidth.

I will always downvote articles with “slams” in the title. It is undoubtedly low effort clickbait. …unless someone actually gets a door slammed in their face.
