For games that aren't fast moving, you don't need 240fps in the first place.

I played an MMO at 40 FPS for years. With a freesync screen that matches the frame rate instead of stuttering or tearing, it still feels fine.

The benchmarks are against vanilla Wine. A lot of people are using the fsync patches, so ntsync is more about accuracy - things that didn't work under fsync should work under ntsync.

Instead of choosing between accuracy and performance hacks, ntsync should do it properly.

IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.

is it always running, looking for barcodes in all the photos you take?

Has Google's camera app added that yet? If not it's only a matter of time.

When my phone's barcode reader app sees a web link, it fetches the page's title to display next to the actual link. So it is going to that web server and fetching resources by itself. Even though it isn't actually rendering the page and running javascript, it might be exploitable.

Half of them will print the highest bandwidth regardless of the actual cable's capabilities so that won't help.

Maybe making progress during year three of your three day special military operation isn't really something to celebrate.

To market, to market went my Uncle Jim
When somebody threw a tomato at him.
Tomatoes are soft and they won't bruise the skin,
But this one killed Jim, it was wrapped in a tin.

Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

The free trial isn't a business model. It's a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.
