For games, you'd rather use game repacks as they sometime provide smaller package for downloading. The most common one are dodi, fitgirls, though other repacker like el amigos, KaOs krew, Mr Dj also available. If you don't mind ddl, cs-rin.ru and torrminatorr also available.
Avoid IGG-Games they have shady history in case you use public tracker.
remember rtfm! Megathread, wiki, fmhy are available so you can browse easier as provided by the community.
Keycaps is where I always avoid because that's what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.
Still saving for my keycaps sets
They def pricier on chassis, plate (foam too!) and ready-to-use designed pcb with components. However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss.
Hello fellow 2hu youkai
Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).
As someone that into mech keyboard hobby, I can say that's still perceivable for average user as you still retain the familiar "qwerty" layout.
Look up stenograph keyboard. They have lesser keys but allows someone to write higher wpm and programmable though I don't think they would fit for average office workload (unless you types a lot).
Nice idea but unfortunately good luck convincing everyone to collaborate into single super-game and integrate each "X simulator" as DLC assuming everyone also adhere guideline and consistent
From my experience, I can install several repack without any issues on my Mint install (using wine). If you overwhelmed, the easiest way is to add the .exe of your game as non-steam game through the steam and the proton will handle the rest assuming you won't find dependency issues, if you stumble across problem try to search protondb for solution.
Personally I run my games with wine because I couldn't figure out how to make use of bottles and lutris (ye I'm weird).
EDIT: Also you can run your modded games on Linux, so far I have tried modded nfs mw (2005) with hard+, underground2, and new vegas, they are works like on Windows.
If shit happen, rtfm. gl op on your journey!
I wonder what makes them choose rk3588 considering rockchip abandoned the software support as most of software maintainer are the community🤔. Not to mention one of the maintainer that brought fairly recent kernel for rockchip SoC also went away.
Previously I had Orange Pi 5 that happen to have this rk3588 SoC, unfortunately once I discovered that the gpu driver is lacking I went back to x86 based solution (retro emulation station setup).
I see you seem fascinated by NPUs, here is probably one of the most recent publications that discuss performance comparison between NPU, GPU, and CPU for Edge computing case using YoloV5 model. And here's another benchmark provided by Google for its TPU product (Google Coral).
Given the circumstances, it's unlikely for current generation NPU to fulfill those heavy data tasks like upscaling video or generating video but for something like Edge computing they provide fairly performant solutions at affordable prices (in the case of NPU you can get them on Single Board Computer using Rockchip SoC especially RK3588 one). If you're using Raspberry Pi 5 or other SBC, you can get Google Coral (M.2 or USB version).
Imo NPU for average consumer usage is still niche (compared to something like CUDA/Tensor cores). Just like TPU, NPU is just another hardware acceleration for specific tasks that most of average user can be fulfilled with CPU/GPUs.
The key is the "density", activities and (player) engagements. I find it funny RGG is probably one of developers that can get away reusing assets so much that even can be traced back to ps2 assets on their newer games.
Woah, thanks for dropping the link. I did disable w10 update by modifying registry for each services which time consuming.
Probably they took what most avg user would see. Android? We have custom roms. AI Tools (assuming all of them?) Not even close.
But still find it hilarious that OP even have to post the correction.
Soldering is probably one of skill that opens up lot of possibility because most of time when dealing with pcbs (most electronic device overall) you have to desolder, replace the component, and solder new part in.
Next step is ID'ing unmarked component and understand datasheet so you know what you're dealing and how to deal with them.
They don't want to miss out the "hype" but also Valve deem the hardware jump is not that much to consider "Deck 2". If only these manufacturer also consider bringing software optimization rather than keep producing portable handheld with small performance jump.
