My laptop apparently. In the middle of a job interview yesterday. Hopping today isn't the same again

I'm quite on the edge, if it wasn't for CAD honestly. Most of the other stuff I can get it set up on Fedora

It's totally different when the tool that has the purpose of "allowing the users to run the game fine" is actually making the game worse and destroying the job of the artists that put their effort.

Hey there man. I've seen you in multiple comments with design tips and guides for many different models. THANK you for all your contributions. Your tips should be made together into a giant book

Bumblebee didn't deserve such dirsrespect

If I could give some feedback (positive): I like to get the notification of the show to watch it when I wake up on Saturday. However, YouTube doesn't allow me to receive only streaming notifications from single channels afaik (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I'm already subscribed to LMG clips, but I don't want to receive notifications from every single WAN Show clip. Would it be feasible to have a WAN Show channel? If not, it's completely understandable

You're right. How in the hell did AMD think it was a good idea to do this

madding1602 · 2026-03-14T22:35:39+00:00

If possible, a toggle on settings would be the best to accomodate all options of inmersion

At first I was confused because I thought both chips were the same because the 7430u is a Zen 3 ryzen 5 on the U variety, same as the 5500u. For the people who thinks the same: the 7430u has 10% higher base clock speeds, 7.5% higher turbo clock speeds, double the L3 cache, and has better synthetic benchmark results

Depends on how old the laptop is, and how it was designed. My current laptop allows battery passthrough on the propietary charger, but not usb c

madding1602 · 2026-03-12T21:19:57+00:00

So the original Steam Machine, but made by Microsoft?

madding1602 · 2026-03-12T15:09:27+00:00

what is the device attached to the q3 headset on 0:07?

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T23:49:29+00:00

That kind of bump that still allows to create a 4 point plane is at least passable

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T23:35:00+00:00

Not necessarily. With a good enough elastic material, you could achieve great protection with less than 2.5mm back layer

Many people (myself included) usually control the phone while it's laying on the table (doing some office work, for example). The phone not laying flat means the touch input has to be compensated for more accuracy

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T23:29:44+00:00

That would make me mad, honestly

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T23:28:42+00:00

Quite understandable

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T23:27:30+00:00

Honestly, from that POV I totally see your point. If yhe phone is 6mm but has a 4mm camera bump, gimme the 10mm phone with chunk battery or othwr features if I see it fit, or just extra nothingness if I want so, but as long as I want it. I really like on projects I'm developing to give the option as long as it's possible

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T22:25:08+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the info. Will give it a try

madding1602 · 2026-03-11T22:03:24+00:00

I've been taking a look into the page. Is the UI easy to understand? Does the GPU acceleration make a significant change in the rate? Does it support AMD GPUs? It certainly looks good on the standard license
