FTC got started on it under Biden

Cable Matters sells plenty of different DP->HDMI 2.1 adapters that work with VRR. The main issue here is that you won’t get CEC if you use those.

Fun fact, all of the audio codes are proprietary too. You won’t find a HDMI surround sound splitter on Aliexpress. Say no to HDMI, say no to E-ARC.

The effect is the same?

Here’s my source for the Microsoft laptop cpu rumor:

I believe you’re basing that off of pseudoscience.

An ultra-processed food (UPF) is a grouping of processed food characterized by relatively involved methods of production. There is no simple definition of UPF, but they are generally understood to be an industrial creation derived from natural food or synthesized from other organic compounds.[1][2] The resulting products are designed to be highly profitable, convenient, and hyperpalatable, often through food additives such as preservatives, colourings, and flavourings.[3] UPFs have often undergone processes such as moulding/extruding, hydrogenation, or frying.[4]

What processes contribute to fat cells stocking lipids, and/or the replication of fat cells, and how do they relate to “ultraprocessed food”?

Which aspects of “ultraprocessed food” affect these processes, and which are harmless part of human food that has existed for thousands of years? Which aspects also affect “natural foods”, such as pesticides and artifical hormones? Are there any studies supporting your hypothesis that aren’t merely correlations based on socioeconomic biases?

I get what you mean, I’m just arguing that there is too much focus on “health marketing”, instead of important things like macros and regulating known carcinogens.

If I eat a mcdouble and a diet coke, I’m eating much healthier than if I ate a whole rotissery chicken with potato wedges and a glass of apple juice. Calories and reducing sugar intake are the most important things.

The rumor is that the cpu in the steam machine is leftover from another AMD partnership with Microsoft. The GPU is a mobile GPU that AMD had a hard time selling. It’s about the same performance as a PS5, though valve won’t be subsidizing it as much. I’d bet $600-$800.

neither are unhealthy

AMD has more power saving features on the roadmap than Qualcomm

Yeah good points. I think the majority of most people’s experience with team environments are some MBA or branch manager bossing around strangers, so that’s why those sorts of meetings are so misused/overused.

I think face-to-face engagement does help with breaking people out of their bubbles and change priorities, but maybe that’s just the way I socialize personally or ADHD or something. I’m not really gonna care much about somebody else’s idea unless theres some personal engagement and goodwill. There’s also a million other things that I have to do, so I might not send my reply until I’ve had a quiet moment to really think about it and get into a Google rabbit hole.

But yeah sometimes the team really doesn’t give a fuck about the goal you’re trying to set lol. Good leaders know that you shouldn’t force engagement for that.

Yeah thats a fair way to go about it. There’s also the argument that the iteration loop will be faster in person than over email. It could take a week for everyone so send in their 5 ideas, where as a meeting could do it in 15-30 minutes. Every team has their own working style.

You’re trading variety and mental capacity for direction and group cohesion right? If you have a good leader who can set good themes, or a group that gets into disagreements, then a group discussion setting might turn 20, potentially off-topic or divisive ideas into 5 on-topic, agreeable ideas. But yeah, if you have the time for individual research, then that can be valuable as well.

Pros and cons of disabling the default Microsoft key:

(Assuming you have secure boot enabled, and want the security that comes from that)

pros:

• You control your own key and have full choice over what software can start up on your computer, software cannot be approved by anybody else.
• Your secure boot security model is not vulnerable to the risk of booting 3rd party software with known security vulnerabilities.
• Sophisticated attackers with physical access to your computer cannot carry out an evil maid attack on your computer and convince it to trick you or steal your data.

cons:

• You need to have software installed to manage the key. There is software available for Ubuntu and NixOS.
• There are many buggy UEFI implementations out there that require the Microsoft key to load built-in oproms during standard boot, potentially bricking your computer.
• Software that gains root access to your computer could steal your signing key, potentially negating the benefits of secure boot against non-evil maid attacks.

DLSS is the graphite control rods

This feature has been supported in Linux and Steam for like 5 years. Gaming on Windows sucks.

Yeah i agree with you, but there is a limit to community support. The Steam Deck specifically has a big community, but most hobbyists don’t like to spend a ton of time maintaining ancient hardware drivers.

I believe my 11 year old Thinkpad T540p still runs mainline kernels too. The GPU is not supported by the 2018 Intel Iris userspace driver though, so I would need to run a legacy driver that does not support vulkan. Its still packaged by Arch, but it does limit my options.

I’d say 10 years until new games stop running with all features, and 20-30 years until it stops running mainline kernels and loses network access to Steam.

Other handhelds with closed-source drivers probably stop running mainline in 5-10 years.

You’re probably going to have a noticeable performance impact from running games off of USB.

It may work, but there are software dependencies that will become end of life. The first to go will probably be the GPU drivers. In 10 years or so, Linux will discontinue the GPU drivers and you will not be able to run the latest Linux kernel.
