thats often the life of a startup. most startups end up failing (~80%). the other 20% hope their hustle gets them big enough to be bought out so they can then relax more.

the people who work startups dont want to be working that job indefinitely. especially since it often entails being overworked.

rust is a game commonly overrun with hackers who hack to grief other players, as its inherently a pvp survival game that takes a while to build up

slowing down AOSP releases (why Graphene is looking into other phone options). Google is also trying to enforce developer signatures on apps, which would give google the power to kill small developers on 3rd party app stores and ruin sideloading, as you would have to go through google to be verified to make apks.

these are a few example that has popped up in the past year.

its in the review, in the super tux kart benchmark section. under vulkan, their FPS is functionally the same. Under OpenGL, Cachy is somehow significantly faster

I think this cant be some odd anomaly, because that gap is huge

well that and cachys opengl performance is like 1.5x the other distros in super tux kart, so if you had some legacy games, its run better in cachy probably but raw modern hardware would have likely made it trivial. the one exception i could imagine where opengl performance probably matters is heavily modded java minecraft

my opinion isn’t based strictly on the header. because to argue that the default is silent mode, when its very reasonable to assume that the middle tier performance mode is the default usecase, because it has a 80W/h battery when compared to typical other handhelds. Steam deck for example uses a 40W/h battery. 17W, which is seeing the chunk of the performance gain, is a very reasonable target for a 80W/h battery. Because it would roughly be equivalent to a steam deck at 10W on its 40W/h battery.

but a game may not necessarily need 13W, thats the point. youre using up more power than what is necessary because the CPU governor doesn’t know if its necessary or not to actually use all 13W.

The steam deck is controlled the same way(has wattage targets), but it understands when its being underused, to use even less resources to maximize battery life.

If you have a car that has gears, where gear 1 is 25, gear 2 is 50 (old cars), it doesn’t mean there aren’t usecases where you want to go 5/10. its unnecessary to always have to hit said target.

the main thing you get back is a better cpu governor to manage power consumption on 2d games. Reviews like the Phawks points out that microsoft kinda handed it off to the handheld makers to optimize for battery life. So in the instances such as getting 8hours of battery life running dead cells because the system doesnt really need to push that much to run the game, the Windows handheld is stuck on a higher performance clock and has a significantly shorter battery life time.

This would be extremely visible if more lighter games are tested, which typically aren’t for reviews like this because its not really fun to show a bunch of games all hitting 60 if you cap framerate.

the bigger wall with switch emulation on android is that mobile companies are terrible at writing gpu drivers when compared to conventional desktop/laptop graphics vendors. its why for example the older snapdragon gen 2/3 outperform their newer snapdragon elite counterparts in emulation.

theres significantly more setup time on mobile because some of the jank doesnt “just work”

ive been using beeper so its a matter if they kill the API in my case. (im surprised they didn’t nuke the API first)

i mean, newer and future models are the kinda relevant part for GrapheneOS to jump over and get a new market of users.

i would have thought it would be oneplus, but theyve recently made bootload unlocking more restrictive, unless theyre walking back on that for graphene

are people expeting devs to infinitely support a game? one that isn’t even on the live service model in the first place?

it hasnt changed much but at least theres a possible fear a lease might be held out slightly longer this cycle due to tariffs.

Business computers are definitely longer leases than mobile phones i can tell you that. consumers upgrade more often than businesses do.

well not the businesses that are built around apple devices.

as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.

I just hate the trend that people want to make villains more generic evil. like how much shit ultraman got for the prescreening when he hits krypto thats actively fighting him. HES A VILLAIN, HES NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD.

although i prefer the arch distros for bleeding edge and rolling updates. Bazzite makes sense for testing because of the immutable.

A lot of more experienced pc users might end up liking arch distros later in their life, but I would never recomnmend arch based distros to people who aren’t comfortable with linux yet.

according to Australian coworker, knart is basically slightly step up from dollar store goods. buy appliances that are cheap, but probably wont last long.

how im aware of it

bi is a catch all terms of gender

omni means youre fine with either but you might have preference to one more than the other. because you have a preference, you would not necessarily be “gender blind”

pan means is like dont even consider gender as a criteria of liking someone. said person can suddenly change genders and it would not affect how they feel about a person. fully gender blind.
