For future reference, you can update LG TVs via USB so you can avoid connecting it to a network.

I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

I’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.

It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s definitely there.

Comparing prices directly like this is almost irrelevant imo. And doesn’t really dictate what the price of games should be.

Reasons old games should be pricier:

• Hardware involved (cartridges/electronics).
• Total number of customers were smaller, you have to subsidize development with less total sales.

Reasons why new games should be pricier:

• Development has inflated to hundreds of people and multiple years (instead of dozens of people and multiple months)

But at the end of the day, business just price what the market will bear. It’s only indirectly related to the cost of production. The margins on some games are insanely high compared to others.

Good news, It’s coming out on PC.

As far as I know, it’s mainly games with DRM that might trigger on multiple installs/computers. So companies will disable family sharing. Not sure how common this is.

On the Steam Deck it already “just works” for a lot of games (with an OLED or an external display). So we’re not that far off for those changes propagating to Desktop.

Use Gamescope and a Vulkan layer. Here’s a more detailed post: https://planet.kde.org/xavers-blog-2023-12-18-an-update-on-hdr-and-color-management-in-kwin/

If you get the latest gamescope from git. You no longer need the vulkan layer.

Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40

I bought it after waiting for the server issues to resolve.

Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.

Not surprising since they literally made a game for recruiting in 2002. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army

Is it Hell Let Loose? I started playing it since they support Linux now, very well done Battlefield-like game. I haven’t played much BF since 1942.

If you’re not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.

According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There’s been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.

According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It’s a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.

I see a set-top box that uses the same SoC as a deck as a possibility if they can get it cheap enough. Maybe paired with a new Steam Controller.

Throwing UTC everywhere doesn’t solve comparisons around leap seconds. I’m sure they’re other issues with this method, but this is kinda the point of “just use a library”. Then it’s someone else’s problem.

Go to a library, some have scanners with feeders that will scan to a flash drive.

My understanding is the display uses MIPI (not eDP) which doesn’t support VRR.
