by up to 45% on SSDs
Excuse me, what!?!
I wonder where the average is for the performance reduction. Probably something I’ll look into but I’d be pissed if I bought a drive and instantly lost even 20%.
Luckily, I’m not on Windows so I have nothing to really worry about but damn.
Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.
It’s all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the “obvious solution” being advertised right there on the homepage.
Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs.
It’s not. They have the same software technologies and the desktop counterparts have better hardware.
but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU.
Yes it is. No benchmarks would agree with you here. Also, just look at the power draw for each and how much noise each cooling solution makes.
And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.
Depends entirely on what you see as admirable. Power efficiency wise, they’re great, but their performance isn’t anything to write home about, especially considering that they typically share cooling solutions with the CPU. And that’s at the top of the line. Lower down, it’s not all that great, with desktop counterparts having much better 1% lows when the power is more comparable.
So with most of what you said being incorrect, your conclusion is also incorrect. Generally, more surface area on coolers means they can cool higher power limits, can have bigger fans and/or have those fans spin slower so they’re much quieter. Regarding the power consumption, it’s simply diminishing returns. Mobile GPUs are just cut sooner on the graph.
Exactly. No reputable company is going to NOT put their logo on the phone, especially with the main other difference is the camera stack. It’s free advertising. The assumption is that you’ll throw a case or skin on it anyway.
Does it really make sense to complain about fragmentation here when many distros are just downstream from others? I was on Pop! And have used Ubuntu but am on Debian at the moment. Nothing’s really changed. I installed the same application versions, I’d read the same tutorials to get things done. What am I missing here?
It doesn’t even need to be a hobby in the sense that you’re always there. Going a few times a week gets you exposed to people and you’re getting more fit and healthier. And there’s usually at least self confidence that comes along to help with finding other hobbies if you want.
RGB for Corsair (iQue on windows, open to alternatives)
What I do with my Commander is to use the onboard lighting and fan curves. Set it up on a VM or when you still have Windows.
You can also look into Liquidctl
Well luckily for them, I wasn’t ever gonna buy an HP printer anyway. Either way, what IP is there in a printer ink cartridge?
And that functionality is in Gnome, but disabled by default IIRC. I’ve had it on for years in both PopOS and Debian so I may be wrong but I do believe it’s a Gnome feature.
But alas, it was a trap, for they knew it would destroy the planet, ensuring they wouldn’t go down alone.
It was EAC, for the most part. Once EAC worked with Linux, Apex was one of the first to enable it. That is/was the case for a good bit of games
I play Arena and Arena only because MTG isn’t really a popular thing here. Btw, Arena works perfectly in Steam and
Nobody wants to make and maintain an account for every place they want to pay something for.
They could have replaced “check” with “cash”. Same idea.
