Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices
  • Rosetta and proton are two completely different layers.

    Game porting toolkit is indeed also based on wine, but that’s only the conversion of directX to ogpl or vulkan (using metalVK in Apple’s case)

    Rosetta is a completely separate harware accelerated (as in, the chips have dedicated hardware for this) translation layer for x86 to ARM

    Given the lengths they had to go through to get even this custom APU, I can only imaging the difficulty in procuring a first-gen ARM offering from AMD.

    I swear, this is just the “VR is really here, and it’ll replace conventional gaming!” Debate all over again. I’d be surprised if it happens in the next two years. After that? Maybe, if x86 doesn’t catch up more than it already has (which I fully expect it to do).

  • Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices
  • Apple’s M-chips have dedicated hardware to accelerate rosetta 2 (support for x86 memory ordering), please stop using rosetta2 as a show of what x86 on ARM can do, as it is a vertically integrated piece of software that is not indicative of the current market for anyone outside of apple.

    Just take a look at windows on those new qualcomn chips - when they do the translation, the performance is underwhelming to say the least.

    Yes, it will improve, but it currently does not exist outside of Apple.

  • Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices
  • And perform terribly because it’d have to emulate x86 because there’s no native ARM games (for Windows).

    There’s no way there’ll be an ARM steam deck, unless valve wants to build an android gaming handheld for some reason.

  • iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • No, they're not, but Google won't get them (unless, as you state, they use google's messaging app) Less Google, more better, in my opinion.

    MMS hasn't been a thing at my provider for years now, so want to send me an image? Use Signal or whatsapp (begrudgingly). I already rarely receive or send SMS, so not enabling RCS isn't a big loss for me, I don't get added to Google's statistics (which they are so very proud off), and I won't really miss any of its features.

  • iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.

    I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.

    I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)

  • The worst place in the galaxy
  • Image titles:

    Flag of israel

    Israeli flag

    Israel flag

    Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

  • DankPods just switched to Linux!!!
  • I looked into distros using plasma 6 for a bit, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s also a not trivial boot setup (dual boot with w11 and bitlocker + LUKS + secureboot) and the (k)ubuntu installer just handled it flawlessly (meaning not having to enter my bitlocker key on every boot)

    Works fine for me (except some weird locale issue, but I knew that in advance)

  • DankPods just switched to Linux!!!
  • Those are so legit sounding I didn’t even realise until the second part of your comment those weren’t real.

    Granted, I just slap kubuntu on everything because I’m used to managing ubuntu servers and like kde, so my distro knowledge is limited, but still

  • iPhone 16 Launch Is Just One Month Out – Here's Everything We Know
  • I’m curious - if you want to listen high quality audio, why not get an actual audio player for that? Surely the DAC in some random android phone can’t be that good?

    Also, the 1TB version is really only meant so they are actually somewhat usable for recording proRes or taking pictures in RAW

  • Many such cases
  • iDEAL sounds a lot like Bancontact/Payconic in Belgium.

    Which doesn’t do everything Paypal does either. Others have mentioned the buyer protection, but there’s also multiple payment methods you can link to it, subscription management, and one-click payments (where it also enters your address for shipping) - and crucially: available worldwide.

  • Andrew just wants to open his files on Windows 10
  • It’s quite common to login as admin on windows though (in home setups), you’ll still have to authenticate for administrative tasks (the UAC popups).

    The issue here is mostly that the user has probably upgraded and windows changed their account, resulting in the files being owned by their old account.

    In linux, that’s fixable with ‘sudo chmod -R’

    In Windows, there’s no built-in way, you need the take ownership script.

  • ‘Hard to argue against’: mandatory speed limiters come to the EU and NI
  • Worse is the other way around, but if you then speed because the system doesn’t work, it’s of course still your own fault.

    I know why they want it and I mostly agree, but they’re massively downplaying the reliability concerns, saying it is “usually correct” (It’s not) and “data will improve”, conveniently ignoring that these underlying systems aren’t new and the data has consistently sucked over its entire lifetime. They don’t provide a target date by which they want this data to be available, so it will never be.

    Anecdotally, on a 30km drive, my car (which receives updates to nav data over cellular) is wrong 5-10 times, in both directions.

  • Europe and Australia both back down on CSAM scanning
  • I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught

    And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.

    They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.

  • Protect your PC
  • Pretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that.

    Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard.

    I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.
