Did Apple allow JIT or is it using interpreted CPU emulation? Because if it’s using interpreted emulation then the performance is gonna be realy bad.

Edit: I actually checked and it’s using interpreted emulation. Interested to see the performance impact.

For FSR to work best it has to be built into the game. There are ways to make it work without it but it’s not as good.

So to upgrade to later versions the game developer has to do it.

Tho unlike Nvidia’s DLSS FSR doesn’t use dedicated hardware and you can run it on basicly any modern GPU.

I see. I forgot that SteamOS would reset all that on updates

Why not realy an option on SteamOS?

Like: advanced phisics engines - some of my favourite games are phisics sandboxes

Dislike: equipment durability - it rarely adds any difficultyand is most times an anoyence

The “get a better computer” response to slow software is unfortunetly more and more popular especialy among game devs.

“Our game runs like **** on your 2 yr old top of the line pc? Just get a 4090 and a 13900k. Its not our problem that the game eats 21GB of VRAM and takes up 700GB of storage.”

Yes, as well as disabled Windows Defender and mitogations for exploits like Specter and Meltdown. AtlasOS is most likely a very bad idea.

Unless you overclocked you deck the SoC will automaticly slow down if the temps get high preventing damage.

Just to clarify: For me its nowhere near as bad. Its not that i get repulsed at the feel of the device but rather that if i play for a longer time my hands get sweaty and oily (BTW this dosen’t happen with other controlers.)

Favourite:

1. Battery life. While not as good as a phone or even a NS, its still incredidle how long the battery lasts considering that the deck is a full PC playing PC games. For context the battery lasts aprox. 4 h when playing a quite demanding game and up to 6 h in less demanding games.

2. The emulation potential. Apart from beeing able to play PC games you can also emulate a lot of retro or even newer stuff. For example yuzu (a NS emulator) runs most games at a steady 30 fps and the simmilar controller layouts make it easy to controll.

3. The improvments to linux gaming. The steam deck is bringing more attention to linux as a gaming platform. Thanks to the ease of use of tools like Proton I was able to move to linux on my PC.

4. The touchpads. I generaly can’t stand playing on a controler in first person games, the touchpads realy help with controls in games built without controler support.

5. The sleep mode. I can just press the power button to put my deck to sleep without loosing progres in games.

Least favourites:

1. The phisical feel of the device. I’m not sure how to best describe it but for some reason my hands don’t realy like the matt finish of the deck.

2. The size. While still small for a full pc its quite large for a handheld console. Unlike something like the GB or DS the steam deck is not realy pocketable.

3. The noise. While i understand that a device as powerfull as the steam deck needs active cooling, the fan noise can be quite annoing espetialy in more demanding titles.

Honestly I never saw i need for it. 64 GB of internal storage plus a 512 GB microSD card is more then enouth space for me.

I like skyblock if i have more time, if i just want to spend a few minutes then Dropper.

On one hand preventing kids from developing a social media addiciton is good. On the other this law will probably cause a lot of issues. Some issues that i can think of on the spot are:

1. How exactly do you verify age. Kids can just lie about it and social media platforms requiring a national ID is a stupidly bad idea just from the privacy concerns. I don’t want every website to have my ID because:

   A. This would make tracking people between platforms much easier.

   B. One data leak from one website and milions of people have their govt IDs available on-line along with names, phone numbers, e-mail addreses and possibly even addresses (from billing information) and answers to security questions (from posts)

2. I’m worried that this will cause a lot of social media platforms to go the way that youtube went, ie. no NSFW, swearing or anything even remotly not kid-friendly.

Oh. I didn’t know that. Looks like i might be able to play it.

Taking into consideration the state of modern AAA gaming it will probanly have a 4090 and a i9 13900K as minimum requerments on launch. Maybe a few months after launch it will be fixed but day one performance will probably bo to low for the steam deck.

You do need a google accout to log in with revanced because its still the normal app, its just patched to remove ads, add sponsorblock and a lot of other stuff.

PS: Revanced isn’t a fork of vanced, its an independant project with simmilar goals and a simmilar name.

Youtube tried blocking revanced a few months ago and the team just pushed an update to fix it. Youtube is gonna try to block it but its gonna be a sepparete thing from blocking alblockers in a browser.

Whats PoE? The only thing i can think of is Power over Ethernet but i don’t think thats it.
