Yeah, I think the battery thing OP pointed out makes more sense than the power argument. The Z1 extreme used in other handhelds is based on the 8840HS iirc, anf its at least one generation newer than the basis for the steam decks somewhat custom silicon.

The Deck processor is 4 Zen 2 CPU cores and 8 RDNA 2 GPU CUs, while the 8840HS is 8 Zen 4 CPU cores plus 12 RDNA 3 graphics CUs. It’s going to be wildly more powerful. The 8745H actually has the same CPU and iGPU configuration as the 8840HS – not even close to steam deck specs.

AntennaPod is better than it has any right to be – on a modern device, it’s super smooth.

Isn’t that going to be ruinously expensive to host an instance for? Video is expensive in terms of storage and bandwidth.

I’d heard about Toyota trying to water down emissions regulations before, but this is orders of magnitude more yikes than I realized.

A long enough exposure to capture the movement of the earth underneath, without being long enough for the perspective on the stars to change.

tl; dr: one helluva exercise in juuuust the right exposure length.

Yeah, kobo does too. I assumed it was a proprietary flavor which was pretty locked down, is that not the case?

I vaguely remember there being a FOSS OS you can put on Kobos, can you also do that on Boox?

I mean they do have a point: the framework that the game is targeting is DX11, so if it looks bad it is (broadly) because of an issue in translating DX11 instructions to Vulkan…

Level1 has looked at the B580 on Linux specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv0o6505JAc

I think most of the issues with games not working should be the same between windows and Linux driver versions, and HardwareUnboxed has done some pretty exhaustive testing recently on the “maturity” of the drivers by testing a couple hundred games for obvious driver problems.

I mean…duh. When Europe and the US outsource so much of their heavy manufacturing to China, that’s effectively offloading a colossal amount of their emissions. Since China has few energy resources other than coal, it amplifies the issue.

Yikes that’s almost as bad.

When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

Uhhh is that not pretty much the definition of a “tech megacorp”?
