Earliest voice I can remember in a game was BLADES OF STEEL on the NES.

I dislike Microsoft and basically everything they've done with Windows post-7. Every machine I own that isn't expressly for gaming is running Linux, and one of the two that are for gaming is also running Linux. When I build a new gaming tower to replace my current Windows one it will also run Linux, I just can't be bothered to switch OSes mid-way.

And yet people using childish denigrating nicknames like this immediately makes me disinclined to engage with the conversation. I don't understand how anyone expects to be taken seriously while throwing around schoolyard-grade name-calling like this.

My read of simple HP restoring magical healing, at least in D&D, is simply that it is equivalent to accelerated natural healing with no potential for complications. So if whatever ailment you're trying to heal wouldn't also be healed by any arbitrary amount of rest and recuperation then Cure Wounds won't cut it either.

At best you're buying into a collective agreement of ownership among those also participating in the NFT ecosystem. You own a thing because a large enough group of people agree you own it and respect the authority of that token.

At worst you've been scammed and are trying to convince yourself the above is true and that said "large enough group" includes anyone at all capable of enforcing said ownership. Spoilers: it does not.

Is that a step further though? I feel like not giving kids access to VR Chat comes way before not giving them a smartphone in terms of restrictiveness or severity. It's a far more reasonable suggestion.

That's fine when you want a setting that exists in the settings app. Let me know if you find a place to adjust your audio device speaker configuration, or toggle live monitoring of an audio input.

I'm curious about how this impacts the buttons in the settings app that just open the appropriate control panel applet. Like "additional sound settings" for example.

If they are they haven't pushed it to general release yet. Unless someone can point out where in the settings app I can adjust my audio device speaker configuration.

There are a few options there.

As someone else mentioned if you're using IPv6 then it doesn't matter, you're already routing internally even if you're using the public DNS name, no extra work required.

All the rest are for IPv4.

If you're not behind CGNAT some routers/gateways are also smart enough with their routing to recognise when they need to route back to their own external IP and will loop back locally instead of making any hops out to the internet. Again, if this is the case for you then no additional work is required other than perhaps running a traceroute to confirm.

Another option is to add a local DNS entry for the name you're using to resolve to a local IP address instead of your public address. The complexity (or even possibility) of this is going to vary considerably with your setup. If you're running your own local DNS e.g. pihole or similar then it's trivial. This is how mine is set up.

If all your clients are going to be on PCs (or devices you have more than the typical manufacturer allowed modicum of control over) then you can do something kind of like the previous, just with all your local hosts files.

If none of the above are options, then you'll unfortunately have to fall back on using a local name/address, which means a slightly different client setup for devices you use exclusively in your home versus ones you might use elsewhere.

Traffic for a local Jellyfin server should definitely not be going over the internet. Also any reasonably modern client should be able to direct play most media without transcoding.

As for my own Jellyfin setup, one TV has an Nvidia shield plugged in and is using the standard Android TV client. The other is a Samsung smart TV onto which I have side-loaded the Jellyfin Tizen app.

Steam, well populated torrents, and the Star Citizen patcher are the only things I've experienced my full downstream of 1.5Gbps with.

There is analogous functionality for most of it, though it's generally not quite as good across the board.

FSR is AMD's answer to DLSS, but the quality isn't quite as good. However the implementation is hardware agnostic so everyone can use it, which is pretty nice. Even Nvidia's users with older GPUs like a 1080 who are locked out of using DLSS can still use FSR in supported games. If you have an AMD card then you also get the option in the driver settings of enabling it globally for every game, whether it has support built in or not.

Ray tracing is present and works just fine, though their performance is about a generation behind. It's perfectly usable if you keep your expectations in line with that though. Especially in well optimized games like DOOM Eternal or light ray tracing like in Guardians of the Galaxy. Fully path traced lighting like in Cyberpunk 2077 is completely off the table though.

Obviously AMD has hardware video encoders. People like to point out that the visual quality of then is lower than Nvidia's but I always found them perfectly serviceable. AMD's background recording stuff is also built directly into their driver suite, no need to install anything extra.

While they do have their own GPU-powered microphone noise removal, a la RTX Voice, AMD does lack the full set of tools found in Nvidia Broadcast, e.g. video background removal and whatnot. There is also no equivalent to RTX HDR.

Finally, if you've an interest in locally running any LLM or diffusion models they're more of a pain to get working well on AMD as the majority of implementations are CUDA based.
