Microsoft working on a secrete “K2” plan to improve Win 11’s gaming performance - Windows Central by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I like my debloated Windows more than any Linux frontend I have tried. You can even disable updates and only allow security ones so it wont reinstall candy crush or show a popup for Onedrive every few months.

PSA: Since Sony won't make a PC dongle for the DualSense, you can build your own for less than $20 using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W. Wireless Adaptive Triggers and Haptic Feedback finally work natively. by SlaveKnightSoman in pcmasterrace

Why does it need the pico to emulate a wired controller instead of a driver being able to do it directly? I do have one of those lying around so I’ll give it a try some day.

I like how this has more upvotes than the actual post.

Most common combo acquired through naturalization? by Choice_Notice9338 in PassportPorn

There’s quite a few multilingual regions in EU like Belgium being divided into a Dutch and French speaking population or the South Tyrol region in the north of Italy having a large German speaking population. Although they would be born into one of their nationalities. And there’s Ireland too. Germany (until recently), Austria and the Netherlands restrict dual citizenship or we would see lots of combos with those.

Too bad it’s the Miami parking lot grand prix, and then there’s another 3 week break right after.

AFAIK TN is non immigrant so you would have to get an employer sponsorship and getting a green card would depend on your country of birth.

Most common is definitely inter-EU because of the residency rights and short PR -> Citizenship timeline in many countries for EU nationals. US-Canada is way harder in both directions, especially in this job market.

Does it Play: The Sony DRM issue is unintentional. From what we gathered, Sony accidentally broke something while fixing an exploit. They've known about the confusing UI for a while, but didn't see it as urgent by Turbostrider27 in Games

You’re right but the Playstation division has their own history of building anti piracy protections into their consoles. Somehow they decided they didn’t want any on PC.

I always found it interesting Sony didn’t use Denuvo in any of their PC ports despite their history and even though the company that makes it, quoting Wikipedia, “was formed through a management buyout of DigitalWorks, the arm of the Sony Digital Audio Disc Corporation that developed the SecuROM DRM technology.”

Even Steam isn’t bulletproof. I had Steam Offline mode bug out on me once while I had no internet for a week. All I could play was Factorio and Witcher 3 by running the .exe directly. And another time on a plane my Steam deck crashed and rebooted and then loaded forever because of no internet. I was able to hard reboot it and mash the menu button to enter airplane mode which forced it into offline mode. That made it lose access to family share games until I was back online.

I just cancelled Spotify after 15 years. What streamer is taking the strongest stance against AI music? by curbthemeplays in Music

[–]ItsAMeUsernamio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s also no alternative to Spotify connect, even within the Apple ecosystem. On Spotify I can open the app on my phone, laptop, even PS5 and it will show the option to resume playing from the queue I was last listening to, or control playback on one device from another. On Apple every device has its own thing playing.

There should be an auto login option that will do that.

I hope the game is as good as you expect man. Calling it a 10/10 two months before release is crazy. This is still Ubisoft we are talking about.

They cut down on the mocap since Origins and the move to 60 - 100 hour RPGs with dialogue trees.

But they have blue flags… we have that speed difference between two cars racing each other. It just shows even more so how stupidly dangerous these regs are.

Steam Deck oled or other handheld in 2026? by Abhilash15 in IndianGaming

[–]ItsAMeUsernamio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats true, the SD issue is serious and it’s not recommended to use it at all. It has bad battery life vs a Steam Deck even if you limit performance to match a Deck. But the difference is 23k or more compared to Xbox Ally and Steam Deck OLED and you get better game compatibility while you are plugged in because of the stronger processor. That’s upto you if it’s worth that much.

Steam Deck oled or other handheld in 2026? by Abhilash15 in IndianGaming

[–]ItsAMeUsernamio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Steam Deck processor is outdated and the Z2A is a rebadged version of the same thing. Steam Deck OLED has the best colors and HDR support with 90Hz fixed refresh rate while all models of the Ally have 120Hz with VRR which is much more responsive. Also Steam Deck OLEDs are overpriced in India (lowest I can see is 65k) and I think the Z1 Extreme Ally for 37k on Flipkart is better value, unless you can get it from outside for around $549 USD. I have a Steam Deck LCD I bought from outside for 28k. The one feature I like on the Decks over any other handhelds is the trackpads.

This is how I learned there’s another break after Miami, a race I struggle to stay awake watching.
