[Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam
  • genshin already runs on linux, as the anti cheat pressure lessened in genshin in like 3.8.

    also the android version of both wuthering waves and genshin do not have controller support, so they would be very bad examples to port to linux

  • The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.
  • Sanders polled better in swing states. States like Michigan and Winsconsin would have been a significantly closer battleground had they chosen the more charismatic person over the system choice.

    The DNC picked the choice their core base wanted most, but not the choice the swing states would have voted more likely for. It isn't a game of who you want to win at times, its a game of who would have had a better chance.

  • AMD Frame Generation On The Steam Deck Is Here With FSR 3.1
  • no, because the tegra x1 was a processor originally designed for nvidia shield tv and jetson developer boards. companies like nintendo for the switch and google for the pixel c tablet, used the tegra x1 as an off the shelf chip, which is why all of the listed devices are suscceptable to the rcm exploit, as they are the same chip.

    semi custom means they are key functionality added to the chip from oem designs that fundamentally make it different. e. g valve has zen 2 + rdna 2 igpu instead of the off the shelf zen 3 + rdna 2 option. Sony for example has a memory accelerator on the PS5 to give the PS5 faster data streaming capability than standard designs. and supposedly have a compute block for the PS5 pro supposedly for better resolution scaling and ray tracing than standard amd designs.

    Nvidia not doing semi custom is the main reason why Apple stopped using nvidia after the GTX 670 in their imac pro lines in favor of AMD, and for example, why nvidia is very strict on the form factor theor gpus are in (e. g theres a reason why a smaller egpu doesnt really exist much for nvidia gpus, while the AMD option is more common, despite being less bought by consumers)

  • Singapore prepared to recognise a Palestinian state with an effective govt that accepts Israel's right to exist
  • the only one that has any remote defense was the pre 1967 borders, as it was what Britain ceeded to Israel that they aquired after the fall of the Ottoman empire. at the same time, it should have been when palestine should also have become an official state.

  • AMD Frame Generation On The Steam Deck Is Here With FSR 3.1
  • it mostly improved after tigerlake, but at the time of steam deck taping out designs, intel was still far behind and realistically was not an option. it will down the line given the AI boom has essentially made the igpu a very important piece of hardware, but not when the original deck was designed on paper.

    unless intel was going to give valve a really good deal on tigerlake cpus back in 2020, it was not going to happen.

  • AMD Frame Generation On The Steam Deck Is Here With FSR 3.1
  • they wouldnt use nvidia because outside of the driver issues, they dont have an x86 license nor nvidia does semi custom designs for clients.

    valves only other option is basically Intel, which at the time, didnt have much emphasis in igpu performance to give valve a decent value/performance ratio

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Shouldn’t Be Impacted By Shortages, Says CEO Furukawa In Q&A Report
  • its supposedly one of the reasons why the switch 2 was supposedly delayed from q4 2024 to likely late q1 2025

    no point in launching software if no one can play it.

    a full quarter stock of supposedly Samsung 8nm stock is a lot of chips

  • And if not US, it's UK, France or Russia
  • if its similar to marijuana, prices of drugs drop heavily when legalized. as long as something stays forbidden, the cost is extremely high, especially drugs that are popular with wealthy people.

  • 40 Kilobyte Rule
  • the biggest reason is that draw commands of the same color can be space efficient. another is that the NES had to deal with 56 colors while modern images use 8 bits per color channel (RGB) meannig it has to store a lot more data it doesnt necessarily need.

  • Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • those who are in the budget state of mind is more likely buying a used vehicle over a brand new one. again, its the situation of a cheap new vehicle with a lot of cuts vs old vehicle that was considered premium. companies dont want to make a new cheap car because they have to compete with old premium ones.

    when both the nissan leaf and chevy bolt guaged the market for a cheaper ev, they werent popular to the point where both models were canned, the leaf with no future date of return, and the bolt which chose not to have a new yearly model and will consider a newer one later. Fisker bankrupted itself out of the market, other external conpanies like kia arent importing their 20k evs like thr EV5 nor Ray EV for telling reasons, because the US market is extremely picky about what kind of car theyll buy.

    the prices on cars in china are post government subsidies, and its already proven time again that when a BYD car gets moved elsewhere its real price is higher (sits closer to 20k rather than 12k) which would not put it that far from existing budget cars post federal subsidy.

    keep in mind the american buyerbase is very politically charged. Conservative opinions have outright said they hate the push towards EVs, of those left, many have the common U.S mindset, that is they will only buy SUVs or Crossovers. then you have the section that will refuse to buy a car without a certain amount of capacity, which is why you can buy cars with 140-150 mi capacity outside of the U.S but its basically non existant within it. Its basically only the U.S market thats extremely picky with these kind of stuff, where drivers heavily value leg room and size over cost/efficiency

  • Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers
  • its less about the subsidies and more that budget buyers in the U.S in particular are very picky buyers.

    while the federal/state EV tax credits, you can get vehicles like the Chevy Bolt for 20-22k. regardless the car still isnt that popular (meaning theres something specific about the car that buyers dont want).

    for those buying used cars, theres not mamy reasons why someone would buy a say new 18k-20k EV that had many cuts in design vs an older premium EV. Used 2016 Model S for example can be found near 16k. its a new cheap car vs used premium car debate

    this places a burden any any auto maker trying to make a budget car, because in order for it to sell well, they need to have razor thin margins, and sell a lot. failure to do so would spell the end of your compamy due to how many you produced.
