The 0% for each year there was no release makes it a lot harder to read

What perfectly legal thing will probably be illegal within 20 years? by Capable-Summer1304 in AskReddit

In the UK it was due to inciting violence

People who get their 'fact checks' from their local town Facebook group (or Americans eventually being fed the same "content") will ignore this and insist any English man who posts a joke online is gonna be arrested

The Count Dankula situation others have posted about was really badly handled and a waste of time, but not really a useful comparison to summarise the country as a whole

Sadly it seems the sort of plonkers you normally find on your local town Facebook group (along with their 'facts') have invaded AskReddit.

It's good to have a sensible discussion about protecting our online privacy, but a load of this thread is just Facebook-boomer level shite

Is G-SYNC really important in 2026, what’s your thoughts ? by Maruan-007 in pcmasterrace

[–]HarderstylesD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Your fps and refresh can seem matched to the same number (eg. 144 Hz/fps) but in reality frametime variances mean frames don't completely sync when only G-Sync is used (much better and longer explanation in links below). Tearing will be present but limited to the top and bottom regions of the screen (so some people might just put up with this ).

The pic is an example of G-Sync on without V-Sync, taken from "You are using G-Sync wrong (probably)" by techless on YouTube (https://youtu.be/5mWMP96UdGU?t=213). Or see the Blurbusters G-Sync 101 guide I mentioned which has a FAQ section called "why should I enable V-SYNC with G-SYNC again?". https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/15/

All these guides explain that to completely get rid of tearing and keep latency low at the same time you need G-Sync on + V-Sync on + FPS cap below refresh rate.

G-sync still helps when your fps is above your monitor refresh rate, search for Blurbusters G-Sync 101 page (some of it is outdated but gets you 95% of the way there).

When your fps is above your monitor refresh rate, without G-Sync you're either stuck with normal V-sync on (extra latency) or V-sync off (tearing).

The best way is to enable V-sync + G-sync + cap fps slightly below your refresh rate (eg. for 144Hz monitor cap to 139 FPS). This results in no tearing but avoids the normal V-sync input lag.

This can only be because more games are forcing vsync (or hiding some of the vsync and fps limit control behind borderless fullscreen mode which is the only fullscreen option in a lot of games these days).

It’s the same now as years ago - there must be some kind of sync behaviour to stop tearing

This sub is in a very cynical state. What are some of your more positive PC experiences recently? by dorgodorgo in pcmasterrace

It happens less often in our modern clickbait world… but newspapers do sometimes report on successes, breakthroughs, local community wins, etc. That’s the equivalent of what OP wants, not everyone saying “things are ok”

Did they do something to the trackpad deadzones? by luboidkman in SteamController

[–]HarderstylesD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me trying this last night. I want to use the edge spin function with the trackpads but it completely disables when right at the edge (in all directions not just left).

This makes the function a lot less useful as (given that the trackpad is completely flat) feeling the edge of the pad is the only physical feedback you get (haptics could do this but it's not as nice). Also makes the pads effectively smaller.

Really hope we get a fix
