[Overlord Gaming] Denuvo performance impact tested before and after DRM was removed.
  • In every case, Denuvo balloons the exe file size by 4-5x (we're talking 400-500 MB for a <100 MB game exe), can increase loading times between 10-400%, and in most cases, lowers framerates between 10-40%, and can introduce microstutters. There are a few outliers where Denuvo's removal coincides with worse framerates for some reason. But essentially, removing Denuvo speeds things up a lot, especially download size and loading times.

  • Who would win?
  • Simple. The cube gets one shotted. The Borg Collective, which is linked across subspace, will notice a Cube suddenly going dark. They will send two spheres. The first gets one shotted, as the Death Star is simply too powerful to block its main weapon with adaptium shields. The second sphere beams over drones. The Death Star is assimilated. Resistance is futile. The Borg now have assimilated the technology of a planet killer weapon. Not that it matters. The Borg have the technology to wipe out entire star systems in one go. They choose not to, as that would go against the Identify, Adapt, Assimilate mindset. You can't ascend other species into the Collective if you vaporise them all.

  • Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)
  • Ah, yes, Linux around the turn of the century. Let's see...

    GPU acceleration? In your dreams. Only some cards had drivers, and there were more than 2 GPU manufacturers back then, too... We had ATi, nVidia, 3dfx, Cirrus, Matrox, Via, Intel... and almost everyone held their driver source cards close to their chest.

    Modems? Not if they were "winmodems", which had no hardware controller, the CPU and the Windows driver (which was always super proprietary) did all the hard work.

    Sound? AC'97 software audio was out of the question. See above. You had to find a sound blaster card if you wanted to get audio to work right.

    So, you know how modern linux has software packages? Well, back then, we had Slackware, and it compiled everything gentoo style back then. In addition, everyone had a hardon for " compiling from source is better"... so your single core Pentium II had to take its time compiling on a UDMA66-connected hard drive, constrained with 32 or 64 MB RAM. Updating was an overnight procedure.

    RedHat and Debian were godsends for people who didn't want to waste their time compiling.... which unfortinately was more common even so, because a lot of software was source only.

    Oh, and then MP3 support was ripped out of RedHat in Version 9 iirc, the last version before they split it into RHEL and Fedora. RIP music.

    As for Linux on a Mac, there was Yellowdog, which supported the PPC iMacs and such. It was decently good, but I had to write my own x11 monitor settings file (which I still have on a server somewhere, shockingly, I should throw it on github or somewhere) to get the screen to line up and work right.

    Basically, be glad Linux has gone from the "spend a considerable amount of time and have programming / underhood linux knowledge to get it working" to "insert stick, install os, start using it" we have now.

  • Tesla recalls every Cybertruck again.
  • The Veloster was a Hyundai, a Korean manufacturer, and the car was made and imported from Korea, according to the VIN and all the little "Made in Korea" stampings on every part. I got it because it was an economy car with a Dual Clutch transmission.

    Honestly this was an easy one - it took a few rolls to get a "good" image
