The only birth control that is 100% effective is not having sex.

So you always know what is the risk and who’s responsible for it with Chinese tech, and for American tech you’ll never know who’s stealing your data and what enshittification will happen on the next day

Because effectively nothing is changing. Android is still open source, OEMs still have access to the internal branches for early development, custom ROMs will still have to wait until the new version is released to source entirely.

There are many other apps, like Signal, that have the same development approach but no one complained about it. It’s just a lot of misinformation due to misunderstandings with these headlines.

If you’re using Tuya devices and your network is dual band (same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz), it’ll work just fine without needing to change frequencies. I have a couple of very old Tuya lamps that I connected just like that

Google Play Services is not Android.

Google can decide all they want, but they can’t close source Android due to the GPL.

“This just in: Lemmy user sole responsible for companies ‘Denuvobaiting’; more news at 11.”

They’re probably referring to “f”, not “Silent Hill”

Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).

If I’m not mistaken, on the hamburger menu of that media picker you can chose your phone’s storage and have access to other files

Americans.

So yeah, nobody cares about SMS/RCS

Because they want to play games and have fun

UE doesn’t get “near rebuilt from the ground up every major release”, that would be an absurd waste of time and resources every time. It’s being updated and iterated over, just like how CE is.

The problem here is that you don’t like Bethesda games and jumped on the bandwagon of armchair developers using the engine as a scapegoat, ignoring the fact that many other mainstream game engines are just as old or more.

Creation Engine is the least of Bethesda’s games problems, it’s their game design that’s the big issue and the reason why thinks are so bleak.

No, just like how the current Creation Engine version is not the same as the first one from 20 years ago.

Unreal Engine is 26 years old. id Tech is 30 years old. What’s your point?

Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on.

Capcom straight up recommends frame gen to get 60 FPS, which is not what the current frame gen tech was made for, it’s ridiculous how bad this game runs

The issue there is 4K, even with upscalers it’s a massive rendering job for GPUs. Realistically, only the 4090 and 5090 could run in high settings at 4K (with or without upscaling). I had a 4K monitor with my 7900 XTX and decided to dial back to 1440p (and got a n OLED screen too) so I could run my games at max on 120 or 144 FPS, because at 4K I would get anything between 50 and 100 fps with a mix of high and medium settings

I think Avowed is the smoothest (strictly comparative) game on UE5 I’ve played in a long time. I get 120fps locked on epic and no shader compilation stutters (1440p, 7900XTX and 7800X3D, FSR quality) outside of cities. As soon as I enter a city and move my camera/character, it dips to 50fps with my GPU barely being used and CPU spiking, which really doesn’t make much sense to me considering the aren’t a lot of NPCs in town and they don’t move/have routines

The engine itself isn’t the problem developers just don’t optimize shit because they aren’t given the time/derective to

The same can be said for CE2.

While the Creation Engine can be limited, the issue with Bethesda games is not the engine, but their development and direction
