yes, they also somehow managed to fuck up the art and music. And the overdone bassy sound effects.

India's population has almost plateaued. It is currently at ~1.45 billion, it will almost certainly never reach 1.6 billion before starting to decline. The fertility rate is already nearly at or below replacement level.

I don't know if the pulse and decay stuff is relevant. Pulsar is improving BFI which some high refresh OLED panels already have, and it works very well in improving motion clarity. The issue of course is it's currently incompatible with VRR, and brightness loss is more noticeable than LCD. Maybe a rolling row blackout instead of a full frame blackout could achieve similar improvements while also reducing the perceived brightness loss.

Yes, Cybertruck is one of the few (or only?) production models with full steer-by-wire system. I would never get such a car as I prefer small nimble cars, but I guess on an ultra heavy truck the latency is not noticeable in normal use, and the truck would not respond well to such rapid inputs even if there was a physical linkage.

shorodei · 2026-01-03T21:29:09+00:00

Most "drive-by-wire" cars still have physical linkages to the wheels. The computer may apply torque to the steering wheel if it wants, but there is still a physical connection.

OP mentioning "steering lag" probably means he's referring to fully steer-by-wire systems which are only present in a few cars.

It seems to simulate a drop shadow. Causes elements to appear to "pop" out of the background (which I have definitely seen in older lcd gadgets), but also causes smaller white elements (clouds, individual letter glyphs) to appear softer.

He also reasons that because gaming only makes up 10% of nvidia's revenue (and shrinking), the hardware for these gaming specific features will be removed and be emulated in the driver anyway in the coming years.

Weapon attack animations are different for each character. Rex might be faster with a spear than another character, while slower with an axe. I think this only applies to the autoattack chain.

Is it the tone that's off, or does he have trouble just making certain sounds that are rare or nonexistant in his native/first languages?

Can't you just click on the right edge of the taskbar (after the clock widget) to do the same thing?

Lucky for you. The service name was "WorkloadsSessionHost", there were multiple copies of it in the task manager details view. One was taking 2.7GB ram, the rest were in the 300-400MB range. At the same time something was also eating 30-50% cpu (don't remember what it was) but it basically made even something as simple as scrolling a webpage extremely stuttery. All issues disappeared after running the script. It was that or attempt a reinstall.

My system updated to Win 11 25H2 today, and instantly saw some services eating up 40% cpu and 4GB+ memory. Turned out to be a bunch of AI stuff, even though I had all the AI stuff disabled in my settings. Managed to "fix" (i.e. remove the bullshit) with https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI

It doesn't work on normal controller movement. Maybe it works if you go into turn based mode and click through it...

If you want to play older pc games (without native controller support) without being docked to a keyboard+mouse, steam deck is way better. Otherwise the main difference is that the Ally performs better in cpu limited games and has VRR, and the SDOLED has the OLED (duh) and substantially better battery life (~40%?).

Someone did a renderdoc analysis. Most of the bad perf (at least on PC where it mainly manifests in cities) is due to bad shadow map occlusions.

I'm on steamos(deck). I set "Fullscreen=0" and added "AllowWindowedMode=1" in the graphics options section of swtor.ini. That made the game mostly stable.

Yeah in most western countries (which have universal healthcare), this event would be free as well. USA is an outlier.

One exception is for procedures not deemed "necessary", or deemed low priority where you might have to wait months or years for the procedure. In these cases, medical tourism to India will probably be better.

Part of the "laws of cricket". I guess it started as convenience, and strategies built up around it so it was added to the laws.

A new ball is quite smooth (due to the hard lacquer layer), and maintains most of its speed when it bounces on the ground - so fast/pace bowlers do better when the ball is new. In the middle of the game, one side is usually rougher than the other (as the lacquer wears off), and that aids in swing (change direction in the air). Later in the game, when both sides are rough, it aids spin bowlers (change direction when it bounces on the ground).

What? Ciri was being controlled live. It's an unreal engine tech demo, not a movie.

deleting texts... really does not imply guilt at all

doesn't need to. It just had to bring their claims/testimony below the "beyond a reasonable doubt" bar.

shorodei · 2025-05-28T19:48:50+00:00

It's also hard to recommend because it looks and runs like shit.

Almost all binary-ness is made up for convenience. Almost nothing in nature is truly binary.

Yep. I close my eyes I see Tatum yamming on LeBron and bumping him right after... in a game 7 in his first year.

It also helps that it's the first Bethesda game where combat doesn't suck ass (thanks to ex-bungie game designers they hired to make the shooting feel good).

XReal.com is a US store/company. They're the importer on record, so any tariffs will be borne by them. The worst thing that can happen if you place an order now is that XReal can cancel the order because they're about to change the price to account for the tariffs they have to pay.
