It’s so stupid of the developer to claim that gender neutrality is political. It really is not. It’s just about equally respecting everyone. I’m probably preaching to the choir though.
Just a stranger trying things.

Memento is a movie about a guy who tries to find the murderer of his wife but has a condition where he only remembers the last few minutes, so works with post-its, photos and tatoos to piece things together. Great movie!
Predestination is a time traveling cop trying to prevent a terrorist attack.
I’m leaving the best part out which is thought provoking, but you will find it and appreciate it when you watch both movies I think.
Recently started Fallout 3 on steam deck, am a few hours in, pretty good game! Love the freedom, the exploration, but it can occasionally be a challenging game with the fighting and various encounters. Story is good so far.
He is linking to a specific panel, with a given resolution and thus aspect ratio.
My number one gripe with organic maps is how fragile the search is. If you don’t write it exactly right, you get no or irrelevant results. Also, it seems to have no clue of what is popular and what people expect when they search for something. I’m not talking about personalized results but for example the following: searching for “Eiffel”, leads me to minor roads, restaurants and all kinds of results unrelated to the Eiffel tower. This is what is troubling me the most.
You might be better off waiting for a steam deck 2, possibly out next year?
Exactly, this is about compression. Just imagine a full HD image, 1920x1080, with 8 bits of colors for each of the 3 RGB channels. That would lead to 1920x1080x8x3 = 49 766 400 bits, or roughly 50Mb (or roughly 6MB). This is uncompressed. Now imagine a video, at 24 frames per second (typical for movies), that’s almost 1200 Mb/second. For a 1h30 movie, that would be an immense amount of storage, just compute it :)
To solve this, movies are compressed (encoded). There are two types, lossless (where the information is exact and no quality loss is resulted) and lossy (where quality is degraded). It is common to use lossy compression because it is what leads to the most storage savings. For a given compression algorithms, the less bandwidth you allow the algorithm, the more it has to sacrifice video quality to meet your requirements. And this is what bitrate is referring to.
Of note: different compression algorithms are more or less effective at storing data within the same file size. AV1 for instance, will allow for significantly higher video quality than h264, at the same file size (or bitrate).
To be fair, resolution is not enough to measure quality. The bitrate plays a huge role. You can have a high resolution video looking worse than a lower resolution one if the lower one has a higher bitrate. In general, many videos online claim to be 1080p but still look like garbage because of the low bitrate (e.g. like on YouTube or so). If you go for a high bitrate video, you should be able to tell pretty easily, the hair, the fabric, the skin details, the grass, everything can be noticeably sharper and crisper.
Edit: so yeah, I agree with you, because often they are both of low bitrate…
I’m surprised, if I recall, all but one LCD model were to be phased out in November, or at least that’s what they said when they announced the OLED version. Were the supplies that large?
I think that’s what we see with apple silicon, right?
Title mixed up Wayland and Nvidia :) I don’t think you typically get a new GPU assigned on the fly as you select one window manager over another :D
ChatGPT is already free, even GPT-4o since recently.
Granted, you do need an account which requires a phone number, but there are no financial costs.
The Witcher 3. It’s not far from being 10, but got a very nice graphics update for free and has 2 DLC. The game and the DLC and the free graphics update and a very recent mod kit, all for around 10-15 USD right now on GOG . it’s a steal! I highly recommend it. It became my favorite game of all time, very fast. And it will offer around 100h, and it will also offer replayability. What is there not to like?

You can put up a non commercial license and write that if this is for a commercial application they can get in touch with you and you can discuss together a new license for their use case.
I’m guessing this technology requires specific implementation into the game? Nonetheless, it’s so great to see these kind of efforts very suitable for battery based laptops and handhelds, they fit perfectly this use case imo.
