They also make some money
It gets easier with practice, I don't know about where you live but in Portugal to get your license you can only learn manual and you have to do 40 32 hours of driving lessons before the exam. By the end of the lessons it becomes second nature. We practiced a lot starting and parking in steep climbs and even rolling starting the car as if the battery was dead. But this was my experience, it changes from school to school.
Since here the majority of cars are still manual, I believe we should learn them because its much easier to move to automatic than the other way around.
Heck, it should be mandatory. I bought it, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. Its like that for PCs, why not smartphones?
For a single-player game...
In-universe, creating that show was a genius move, if anything legit leaked they can just say it's some fan fiction from the show and not from the real Stargate program.
Maybe this is the reason why!
(I know its a satire article)
I started playing a year ago (also on Linux), I never felt a lack of players to do anything, be it recent or older content. As for performance, from what I can compare with my friends, its runs at about 90% of windows. It's free to play the base content, give it a try!
I read somewhere that it was due to cars being more aerodynamic so the bugs just "slide". Don't know how much of a factor it is though.
Nowadays I just play something else, so many games out there that work flawlessly (thanks to wine/proton). I also did virtualization successfully for some time but it can take a while to get it right. The best and simplest solution is to get a separate SSD just for windows and dual boot.
Not really, AMD's FSR upscaling can increase visual quality/fidelity while using less power than rendering at full resolution. This can be easily seen in Steam Deck's battery life improvement when enabling it. Scaling this to millions of devices can indeed reduce energy usage.
When you read about "AI power consumption", its mostly about training the models, not as much the usage after it's trained.
I'm not familiar with how much power the window AC units use, but wouldn't a DC to AC inverter work to power it? It would reduce the redneck factor by at least half though....
So I have a 35ft sailboat (or yacht) that I paid less than 10k euros for, and I sail it with my family on the weekends near places where orcas sometimes roam, tell me how I am a millionaire again? Or how its "justice" if they someday sink my boat? Because these are the ones they are attacking. Don't get me wrong, I'm all against those sea monstrosities from the ultra rich, but cheering for the orcas is not the way. Someday they will get someone killed, and they will probably be hunted down until they stop being a threat.
Yeah, they are damaging mostly sailboats, not those millionaire party yachts you imagine. Boats from families and people who just want to sail and chill on the ocean, literally the least environmental damaging boats there are.
