HardwareUnboxed did a with/without ray tracing comparison. TL;DR in most games it’s not worth the performance hit. Don’t bother with ray tracing for now, especially on low or mid-range hardware. https://youtu.be/DBNH0NyN8K8

And if said tradesperson doesn’t want their equipment to get wet in the rain they get a van instead.

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

Those cost money too

I can recommend this site for up-to-date and fairly neutral parts recommendations split by budget https://www.logicalincrements.com

Four months of prison? It sounds like the man is disconnected from reality but hardly a real threat to society.

Honestly the LCD decks are so cheap, especially with sales, I don’t think you could build a gaming PC for that price.

Call people? For database software??? I’ll install postgres from my private dark corner tyvm

Or just don’t use it

I will always downvote articles with “slams” in the title. It is undoubtedly low effort clickbait. …unless someone actually gets a door slammed in their face.

Revanced still works but it’s a cat and mouse game. Sometimes it will stop working but the next day someone will have found a workaround. Bit of a hassle to patch the new APK each time.

I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

Piracy is not a real solution to the problem. Microsoft allows these sorts of things to exist in the background because they would rather lose out on some sales than lose market share.

Has anyone here been in a situation where they thought “man, 4g sure is slow. Hope they roll out 5g soon”? I guess they need a feature to put on the box, otherwise people might think their current phone is good enough.

Mom: “We have Linux at home”

Linux at home: Google™ Linux

Windows 11 isn’t bad. But it’s a sidegrade from 10. For example, I have an ultrawide HDR display and 11 is a must for HDR. But the damn start bar can’t move to the left anymore which is super annoying on an ultrawide.

Even the article acknowledges that “The city-state has excellent public transport links by bus and subway”. Clearly the city realizes they are running out of space and want to prioritize people over cars. The remark at the end - " your own family comes first" - just ends up sounding selfish and anti-social.

It does suck that it caters to the rich rather than the needy but taxation is just how you deincentivise certain behaviors in a capitalist society. Hopefully Singapore counters this with subsidized special transport for the handicapped and elderly.

The general consensus in the media is to not name or talk much about the shooter. It gives other troubled kids the opportunity to see them as a role model.

And you wouldn’t really need faceId or any other depth aware camera for this. Just a normal front-facing camera will do. Or do accelerometer only and tilt the phone instead

No config. It should just work
