Different case, I believe, same state.

This is why the tortoise won.

My community college(1997) had a Suse linux computer lab that I learned on. It was mostly used as a networking/server and programming platform.

Loki was the leading porting developer at the time.

I had a similar thought. She kind of looks like a cross between Angelina and Courteney Cox with a touch of stay away.

Well ACC works on linux, including VR, using proton. This probably will to unless it is using some form of broken copy protection.

Ok, I see where you are coming from. I agree that it is a niche product category and I don’t understand what Meta and Apple see in AR & VR and am real confused why Apple of all companies decided to enter it like this. They usually avoid niche products. I enjoy VR occasionally and think it is great, but not enough to put hundreds of millions into it.

From what I see Valve is probably the only one taking a proper approach. They have a platform and hardware for it and support it, but aren’t really going from the mountain tops yelling this is the greatest next thing. To be fair they have been supporting it since , what 2015ish.

Surgeons are already trialing using them with surgery. Additionally I’d use it for video consumption, but not at that price. A portable movie theater sounds cool.

Just because me or you don’t have a personal use for something doesn’t mean they have “no use case”.

No I do not, but I don’t see any reason it shouldn’t work though. I have PiHole, Apache, email, cups, mythtv and samba currently.

Until risc-v is at least as performant as top of the line 2 year old hardware it isn’t going to be of interest to most end users. Right now it is mostly hobbyist hardware.

I also think a lot of trust if being put into it that is going to be misplaced. Just because the ISA is open doesn’t mean anything about the developed hardware.

It isn’t as simple as just compiling. Large programs like games then need to be tested to make sure the code doesn’t have bugs on ARM. Developers often use assembly to optimize performance, so those portions would need to be rewritten as well. And Apple has been the only large install of performant ARM consumer hardware on anything laptop or desktop windows. So, there hasn’t been a strong install base to even encourage many developers to port their stuff to windows on ARM.

A lot of developers bought these. I’d classify the Apple Vision Pro as an early adopter type product right now. Hardware capabilities look impressive, but software has rough edges from what I have read. I don’t think Apple really has a feel where this device is going to go yet either.

There is a project being worked on called Darling, but it isn’t ready yet. The developers are making progress though.

I actually bought a m1 mini for a linux low power server. I was getting tired of the Pi4 being so slow when I needed to compile something. Works real well, just need the Asahi team to get TB working. And for my server stuff, 8gb is plenty.

On my system with raid0 dual pcie4.0 nvme drives, most of the time is spent decompressing and processing the data. There is always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, whether it is the drive, cpu, gpu etc.

That is my understanding. Additionally I have seen no evidence that it is actually enforced either. You could get Ghost of Tsushima for $59.99 on steam and for like $51.xx on another site using keys. Same happened with forbidden west.

Just got to say that at that point it isn't a stone anymore.

They are all-kinds of groomers.

Disorderly conduct? Shouldn't that be assault?

I could see developers using both the NVK and M1 drivers depending on which best suits their needs for hardware similarity. It is also interesting that both are not super opensource friendly hardware manufacturers. Good hardware, less so on openness.

This was exactly my first thought as well and I agree it is good business sense. I am in ok with console versions coming out first and getting the kinks out before PC.

Would it be great to do all at the same time? Yeah, but I would rather not deal with another CP2077-like release where it is out on everything and buggy on everything.
