Doesn’t make the least bit of sense to me either?

Nope, it only helps to not increase it further.

Just try yourself, the claim is obviously false.

The results here are nothing alike.
Her I have the first result on Google being “Prime video”, which does not occur on the first page of Bing.
On Bing the first result is Wikipedia English, where Google has Wikipedia Danish as 2nd result, and the English not occuring on first page.

Misleading users is definitely harmful. Since this is obviously done on purpose, I’d say it’s malicious.

The aspect ratio of the two sides is the square root of 2 since you otherwise couldn’t divide it again and again and get sizes with the same aspect ratio.

Thanks, that’s very interesting. I always thought that was a common thing, but very clever. 👍 😎

I’ve had Google Maps added as a search option for years. Because I use Qwant for search, and the maps functionality in Qwant sucks.

Newer phones generally charge faster, I agree if it’s just a 30W charger most have that already, but my “new” phone charge with 120W, and for some phones the high Watt charging only works with the brands own chargers.

Yes it is shadercache as you wrote.
But just to prove I’m not totally crazy, I included an image showing it only says “Updating” above the progress bar. Which is why I thought it was the game that was updating.
But hovering the (i) it says “shader pre-caching update.”
Then there’s the question why it needs to update shader cache nearly every time I’ve played the game?

None of that ever happened

It was so fucking obvious, how he was paid by companies to do some arbitrary shit, and later there would be a stellar review of their products.
You had to be blind to not see it. It was hidden advertising, and it’s even illegal! But I think he changed his approach to make it BARELY legal now.

He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be)

Yeah after it became a scandal that hurt his business and reputation.

Thanks, I’ll definitely check for that next time.

Funny, it always ran fine here? I just used the Proton version to get shift keys.
If it wasn’t for the Proton stuttering I would have stayed on that, IDK what causes this, but it’s not just Borderlands 2, I think it’s a problem in Steam, maybe because of my about 12 year old backed up steam folder that has somehow folded to old age? I’m planning on installing a new system soon, and when I do, I’ll only be copying over saved games data, and reinstall everything.

Oh, does he still exist? I’ve blocked his channels, because he is simply not trustworthy. Everything he makes is at best infomercials. He’s a sellout.

Edit:
To those who downvote, really?
It’s been so obvious already years ago, that his reviews depend heavily on who advertises with him. He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn’t say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once…
Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn’t deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!
He was revealed to have behaved like an asshole all the way. But go ahead and support him if you want.

Thanks, live and learn. 😋

OK Thanks, the notification is gone now, but I’ll try next time.
But I thought shader cache was generated locally?

But aren’t those generated locally?

IDK, it actually just says “downloading 1 of 1 items”,
But AFAIK it doesn’t need to download to validate.
It just did it with Borderlaqnds GOTY Enhanced while I was playing Borderlands 2?
It only says downloaded and completed, nothing about why there was a download.
I started it by mistake, just before playing Borderlands 2, and skipped it before it was finished with shaders?

OK I didn’t know you could do that, this is very strange? Is there a way I can see a log of my steam downloads?
https://steamdb.info/sub/46441/
Says here May 2024 was latest update.
But it’s not just me, my wife also get these updates downloads?

OK but nothing apparently changes, and old bugs remain.

So it’s an outdated build, yet it gets frequent updates. That just makes it even weirder?
It’s not an issue as such, it only takes a few seconds, it just seems weird. Since nothing is fixed. The latest updates mentioned on the steam page are more than a year old.
I used the proton version earlier, that’s how I found out about the graphics issue. But for some reason my proton version began to stutter? So I went back to native Linux.

Thanks, it must be amazing for Americans to have a president who won’t sign a standard ethics agreement.
