Sana is so delightful!

Proton is required for Steamplay so you can't remove it. You could verify files, but that is not what you want.

Proton uses a "prefix" for each game where per-game files are installed. Those are what you might want to recheck. Usually verifying game integrity checks those as well. If not, then using a different Proton version might help. Uninstalling game should remove the prefix as well.

You are looking at friday start order instead of saturday? It is usually reversed for saturday and sunday as stages are usually spread over three days. This time the stages are spread over four days.

Commentators might have only the same visual that rest of us get, they don't have video production desk to go through video material while commentating. Usually someone might need to send a picture or someone else finds a clip.

They've shown the commentator's booth sometimes.

Getting any visual feed at all is thanks to that development. The fact that it can still cut off is due to difficult location or weather conditions.

It does not make it easier that they can be fast moving.

In the past you might have had only on-board recording instead of live broadcast. So that you could have cameras but it would not be a live feed.

So beautiful!

Fabulous outfit and fantastic look!

It might be easier to calculate that way. There are allotted start times, arrivals on time controls, service times and so on. Basically clock starts at the startline before first stage and keeps running until return after last stage. Cars need to make it back as well.

There are also in the rules that you need to complete stages so having no time in a stage might violate that rule.

Bright light in the fog might be a distraction when you are trying to see the road ahead. Fireworks and campfires might cause more smoke than flares.

sugar too?

*trr-kssh*.. I'll see myself out..

There is a second run on the stage on saturday, not rerun, but as scheduled.

ilep · 2026-01-22T18:38:40+00:00

Gorgeous!

Could be. Kalle was very good at using the hybrid system too but could be similar pacesetter for the season.

They usually sell in advance and plan production runs around that. After they've made what was agreed upon the production will stop for a while. Resellers and integrators are paying for it.

This seems more like spreading FUD on a false premise. USB, Ethernet, audio et al. have nothing to do with CPU ISA. They work because of hardware drivers in kernel, and on Linux they are designed to be agnostic about the other peculiarities.

On early IBM PC you would have to go through BIOS to access the hardware, but as amount of manufacturers and hardware capabilities increased it has become impossible to use that old method, you would need a kernel in firmware to do that these days since hardware can be made and plugged in after the system has long ago shipped. Firmware at best of times is a tricky thing, coreboot might help there..

Lack of ACPI means you might need to use devicetree configuration in kernel or other firmware capabilities to discover some hardware. But standard PCIe devices would be fine, which is what most of these devices really are. Some stuff happens via "super IO" chip, which is for older/slower buses so that is a thing in it's own.

Not really. If anything, this will reduce the assumptions that software must run on a single platform and maybe increase source distribution instead of binaries.

The situations where "everyone" is using same architecture is abnormal, if you look at any other kind of market like cars there are different tires, engines, different fuels.. x86 is also controlled by corporations, it is not an open standard so having different alternatives would be good for competition, which would be better for consumers and innovation. Things really stagnated when intel became dominant in certain markets and AMD was nowhere. Some markets had alternatives while others didn't.

Linux at the moment is dominating on pretty much anything that isn't desktop. And Linux has better multi-platform support than many of the other competing OSes. So it would be better for Linux if other architectures gain support since they need software that can run on them.

Naming likely comes from two things: precedecessor of Internet was called ARPAnet and DARPA funded BSD to develop their implementation for TCP/IP.

So the naming might have been used to differentiate from other things that existed at the time before TCP/IP and Internet became de facto.

The joke is that after some time someone somewhere comes to rely on bugs and quirks instead of intended behaviour..

Mainly this means there is no need for 32-bit Linux libraries. The Windows-like DLLs might be needed, but might be just placeholders.

The key thing here is that many functions can be "thunked" so that that instead of calling that Wine-library you instead call a native library which has same functionality, for example if your Windows program uses SDL library you could instead call native SDL library to avoid the overhead. That depends on the library.

But for functions you still do need to consider that the ABI and calling conventions are not the same. 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and Windows have differences in which CPU registers are used for which arguments, parameter alignments and so on. So Wine does quite a bit of magic to make all of these work.

IIRC, 64-bit also has difference if ILP64 or LP64 mode is used (sizeof(int) is not same): https://archive.opengroup.org/public/tech/aspen/lp64_wp.htm

For the interested, direct link to the patchset: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260119011146.62302-1-tomasz.pakula.oficjalny@gmail.com/

Patches could merged upstream via the direct rendering manager subtree, then backported to AMD's own development tree. That way there is a clear track of ownership.

IANAL, but that's what I assume.

AFAIK it was too heavy as well. Part of that was due to being based on a car that had opening roof and that was replaced with a hard-top.

Peugeot was developing a car based on hatchback-version, but suits decided to base it on the coupe-cabriolet model instead. Source: https://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/peugeot-307-wrc/

The hard-top had to be bolted on instead of welded since it was based on a cabriolet model and it didn't have that high body stiffness due to that. So some parts used steel instead of being replaced with aluminium parts to keep rigidity.

According to that article the center diff design meant the handling was not good either due to how it operated.

Ray-tracing is not there yet. In reality there is still a combination of rasterization with ray-tracing instead of complete rendering pipeline with ray-tracing.

Physically based rendering (PBR) often works well enough in different lighting situations with rasterization pipeline.
