I’m fairly confident “rustls” should be “rust language server” if it stands for anything…

Ideal would be them not reversing a decade of energy savings in the name of AI, but yeah, if they’re going to do that anyway then Nuclear is one of the better options.

I don’t think there’s a good guy. Both parties suck here.

Mostly that it doesn’t work on Steam Deck. Hits memory limits IIRC.

I mostly agree, but it would be nice if it was a bit faster to be able to use it for web browsing. I still like reading long form articles and such but navigating and scrolling isn’t very viable yet on e-readers.

It would allow them to do HDMI FRL also, which is probably what you mean when you say HDMI 2.1. AMD cards also do HDMI FRL I thought. FRL is what allows things like 4k120Hz (higher bandwidth modes). The VRR that the Dock does is the VRR standardized with 2.1, which is why it works on TVs and devices that do not support freesync (see: LG TVs).

Anyway, the Dock doesn’t have a fast enough HDMI converter to do that. It’s not a licensing issue. Next gen Deck/Dock will probably do it.

Actually it works fine on Steam Deck. It uses VRR over DP to the dock, which then translates it to HDMI with VRR. The dock has proprietary firmware to do this.

Intel and Nvidia hardware with open source kernel drivers also do a similar trick where the HDMI part is in a firmware blob. Only AMD does not work with HDMI VRR.

Exactly. That’s why it’s a trash motherboard as soon as root access is gained. It can never again be trusted.

How do you trust that the flash was done properly if you did it from the compromised system? This would only work if you flashed it externally somehow without the system running.

But the energy usage is quoted as peak for the entire venue - which is literally a theater / concert hall. It opened with a live U2 performance. The energy usage isn’t just for the displays, it includes all the power for the entire building, the concert speakers, heating/cooling, indoor lighting, any kitchen equipment, etc.

Yes it is. It’s not in mainline wine, it’s been in kernel for a long time now.

It’s annoying all the articles are focusing on performance versus stock wine here when basically everyone uses Proton or a fork of it anyway, which has had fsync for years now that does similar performance uplift.

The story here should be that we’re getting fsync level performance with fewer bug and it can be upstreamed to wine. There is no relevant performance uplift for Proton users, but I guess performance gets clicks so that’s the story all the press are going with.

It’s not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.

So basically this will improve “correctness” versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.

Versus stock wine, it’s a huge perf uplift though.

Awesome. OBS has never prioritized Linux performance, curious how this will compare.
