For context: DirectX support in Intel’s ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.
Intel introduced a new graphics driver update containing optimizations for PC games, with a DX11 title receiving a 750% improvement
Notice it says “a DX11 title,” and that title is Halo: The Master Chief Collection. That is to say that the game likely used to perform very very poorly, and now performs acceptably.
Probably the easiest way to run it is with Vinegar, a Wine wrapper for Roblox. You can just install it from Flathub (or Discover on Steam Deck in Desktop Mode), make a configuration file in terminal to set it to Vulkan and then you’re good to go after that:...
Checkout protondb.com search for anything. Chances are just about any game you might want to play will run on the Steam Deck. Games that outright don’t work are few and far between. The exception is competitive games with invasive (often kernel-level) anti-cheat measures.
I haven’t played much of the arcade version of Contra, but on the NES version, the S can actually shoot faster. There’s a limit to the bullets you can have on screen, so if you mash the button fast enough, you get to shoot again as soon as a bullet leaves the screen. If there’s nothing to stop your bullets before the hit the edge of the screen, you’ll end up with a line of bullets in front and a spread of 3 bullets. If there are any obstacles that stop your bullets early, eventually, you just end up with a stream of bullets in a straight line in front of you with no more spread.
The laser only does 4 hits per beam, but you can only have one beam on screen at a time, and if you fire again before it hits, it just disappears before firing the new shot.
I just meant you can have an internal fan that’s larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.
They’re going to get sued by all the developers who already put out games with the existing license that Unity is trying to unilaterally change the terms of. They’re trying to charge money for installs on games that are already published and already sold.
For all the stupid shit that Elon Musk has said and done over the years, at least his quote at the end of this article makes sense:
This is bizarre. They want us to pay them for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t!?
Back in the old days of the internet, you would have to pay the bigger sites to have them link back to your site. Now the government decides that it should be the other way around. It was a stupid law from the start, and now they’re finding out why.
I don’t think anybody really cares about an extra half millimetre of thickness, especially if it means that you can save hundreds in replacement costs and extend its life by a few years. Nobody’s buying an iPhone and busting out the calipers to compare it to their previous phone.
Otherwise, if we have a lot of medium sized instances but the most popular communities are hosted on just a few huge instances, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of distributing load across many instances?...
I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).
The burner has two zones. A small one in the middle, and a wider ring around. If you turn to the left, you only turn the middle part on from High to low, and if you turn right, you turn both on from low to high.
If you’ve read the article, they mention that nobody has seen the final branding yet. The logo we see now is not what they’re using to sell the product.
He’s also had other projects like a free Pantone competitor that he’s defended successfully. Apparently he knows what he’s doing.
I have a model I want to print that has multiple layers of internal walls. They are useless and can’t be seen in the finished product, like a hollow cylinder inside another hollow cylinder....
The model I’m trying to print is a figure. The legs have an outer wall with infill, and then another inner wall with no infill but supports. Same for the chest area. This is what it looks like in Cura
It’s not the supports that are the problem, it’s the second wall inside. The red walls are the outer walls, and the green ones are the inner walls. There’s an outer wall on the inside of the inner walls. Basically the part with the tree support in the middle is considered outside by the slicer. Instead of having a second set of walls plus tree supports, there should just be infill.
It’s not “unrooting” it’s just preventing your OS from being replaced. It’s an easy change for anyone with physical access to the device who can get past the lock screen, but can’t be done by accident. So you won’t be accidentally installing malicious software that will reinstall your OS, for example.
The unlock/lock and install can be done through a website, but it requires your phone to be plugged in to a computer, and you can enable/disable unlocking through the developer menu in the phone’s settings.

If you’re on GrapheneOS, you get the option to block an app’s network access when you install it. So you can use whatever keyboard you want and it can’t call home.
Just got a new phone (OnePlus Nord 3), turned refresh rate HUD in developer settings and I see some parts of the system and some apps display 120 Hz but I have problem noticing any difference, same with my wife’s Redmi Note 12, i have to look very carefully and maaaybe I notice some different, not sure
Higher refresh rates make a bigger difference when physically larger portions of the screen are changing at once, and when there’s fast movement on the screen. That’s why it has a more noticeable effect on FPS games, where the entire screen changes when you move the mouse, and when you want to quickly move your aim to specific points. It’s much more noticeable on a large display than it is on a phone screen, for example.
This is with one of the included test files. I even followed the set up video that goes through the leveling process. I haven’t touched anything else outside of the printer itself and the included SD card.
If I manually start the ABL process from the settings menu, it completes it fine. But when I try to start printing, it just does it again and again and gives me an error if I stop it.
