I’m not sure if it’s the meme but here (Europe) there is a huge difference in price between the basic 512GB OLED SD and the basic PS5 pro option.

569€ vs 800€.

FF16 in quality mode runs at 1440p 30 FPS locked upscaled to 4K. And it decreases resolution sometimes in my experience while playing it.

And in performance mode runs at 1080p targeting 60 FPS. The lower resolution it’s very noticeable.

Both modes can be improved by better hardware. That’s my point.

Now things like “30 FPS locked, sucks” or performance mode targeting 1080p is not enough quality is just my personal opinion. Of course some people enjoy 30 FPS or 1080p on a 4K big TV. I personally try to avoid 30 fps locks OR very low resolution performance modes. Games like GT7 or Warzone that can handle lot of FPS at a high resolution (on the current PS5 hardware) are the ones I don’t complain at all and truly enjoy. And in those 2 games I wouldn’t care about upgrading to better PS hardware.

FF16. I’m talking about running quality mode (which still doesn’t guarantee native 4K it does upscaling lot of the time) at higher FPS than 30 with a better PS5 Pro hardware.

Yeah but some games like Final Fantasy run at 30 FPS capped and they suck.

They should start moving those games from fixed 30 FPS to a higher FPS. Doesn’t even need to be fixed 60 FPS. If they enable VRR between 30 and 60/120 they will massively improve the experience.

I understand that some TVs can run VRR down to 20 or 30Hz.

I didn’t know about these manuals. Awesome!

Honestly I prefer this to Microsoft Edge stealing (importing) all my chrome passwords and bookmarks without my consent. Something they do from time to time.

The country is already lost, owned by the people in power.

Only the locals can overthrow them from the power now. And not with elections.

It is very important to get rid of these kind of governments (that manages the country with the only objective to stay in power) as soon as possible.

After Microsoft Edge decided to import all my chrome passwords and data I decided to get rid of windows as much as possible.

Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it’s never with diarrhea.

Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.

They should do it like on consoles, reduce the graphics to guarantee stable FPS on resource intensive moments (like combat).

Although, on PS5 they apply a lot of variable rate shading mixed with upscaling/FSR. VRS is something I don’t really like but it the drop is minimal it’s ok.

I think that upgrading it with just 22% faster processor is kind of killing it.

The current CCWGTV performance sucks.

The CCWGTV performance is a shit at 4K. The UI is far from smooth, some UHD shows randomly drop frames and sometimes I have to restart the device because Netflix and prime stop working.

Eventually I’ll replace it, if the new device sucks I might try apple TV.

I mean it’s a tiny device after all.

I also now have an HDR 4K 144Hz VRR OLED TV so it would be nice to get a device that supports this max resolution (like the PS5).

I’m in the same boat.

Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, many games I’d get on Sony PS Store that I just get on Steam because I want to “own” the full game not just the offline part of it.

They could stop charging gamers a subscription to play the paid games (they “own”) online.

This could attract some customers that don’t want to deal with PC or don’t want to add fixed costs to their monthly or yearly bill.

Argentina has above 100% annual inflation at the moment, right?

And WhatsApp, mother of the Standby Battery Drains. Bearer of the Wakelocks. Enemy of Deep Sleep.

These could be nice upgrade for my Pixel Buds A series. I’m using them for Teams (low latency bad quality). (Not just music high latency high quality).

However, what I really also want to have are gaming headsets (with the long microphone and low latency) that are a bit more low profile and not huge.

At first I thought it was a matter of physics, but after seeing 2.4Ghz low latency in these tiny earbuds I guess it’s possible.

Can’t believe low profile on-ear headsets are not popular. They are all over the ear or huge.

And as you said the ones they generally make for teams sucks with BT high duplex latency.

This is interesting. So these have the “non BT 2.4Ghz” protocol that you generally find in the huge wireless gaming headset?

Ive been looking for a wireless headset that has the low duplex latency of wireless gaming headset, but in a smaller package. Something like the “Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset” but with 2.4Ghz non BT. And I couldn’t find yet something like this.

What were you missing? Just curious.

On the bright side in Linux we have ROCM. In windows they still haven’t released it.
