It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.
So that would make it 1.4m in the last two weeks which makes a big difference.
It would have been nice for the article to actually discuss these specifics. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from it.
He doesn’t actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.
Going on the stats in the article:
that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold
The article does go on to say:
Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold “multiple millions”.
So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn’t know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.
“Huge Leak” is just clickbait. This is just data-mined stuff from Source engine and nothing here was convincing for me.
I think for now Forgejo is a drop-in replacement. However since they are a hard-fork, at some point in the future they will diverge enough to be mutually incompatible, so the clock is ticking on migrating.
With performance optimizations seemingly having lost their relevance in an era of ever-increasing hardware performance
What a ridiculous assertion.
218/250 were fully playable at good framerates (60+). He notes that the more popular a game is the more likely it is to work flawlessly.
Of the remaining 32 games that had problems, 12 of them defaulted to the iGPU on the CPU instead of using the Intel dGPU. He had to disable the iGPU in Device Manager to get them to use the dGPU. 11 of those 12 worked flawlessly after making this change.
5 games crashed on launch (Avatar: FOP, Batman Arkham Knight, Sim City 4, Left 4 Dead 2, Saints Row 2)
6 games ran but with graphical artifacts (Bioshock, Dirt Rally, Ghost of Tsushima, Starfield, GTA4, The Witcher 3)
11 games ran but with poor performance (Starfield, Alan Wake 2, TLOU1, Hellblade 2, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Metro: Last Light, +4 more not specified).
He also had problems running with multiple monitors.
Older games seem to mostly run fine, newer games seem to be the ones more likely to have problems.

This was a joke, 14 years ago:
Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.
He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.
I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.
…
I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.
He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?
Fuck this guy.
If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.

I agree with your original comment; it’s worth using a dedicated PC for gaming on the TV. But I think your second sentence is just parroting current-gen console marketing. It’s not actually true that current-gen consoles are providing a 4k@60 HDR experience.
No, Forza Motorsport uses dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k in Performance mode, and in Quality mode it also uses dynamic resolution but targets 30fps.
I was asking specifically about native 4K games, not dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k.
Wait until you see the ones that let you choose between “Accept All” and “Subscribe to monthly plan 4.99/mo”
I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.
