I never said they did?...

[schmidtbag]

True, but, Google's side-projects don't typically come at the price of under-developing something else (key word is "typically", not always...

[schmidtbag]

I was wondering the same thing - it's pretty weird for a 2060 in CUDA to outperform a RTX Titan in OpenCL. But I think there's a 4th possibility:...

[schmidtbag]

I was going to say something very similar. A lot of these GNOME optimizations are actually pretty nice. Canonical has a lot of good developers but they...

[schmidtbag]

At least we don't need to ask whether it can run Crysis.

[schmidtbag]

I can't tell what the demographic of the Radeon 7 is. The memory, price, and compute performance suggests this will be for workstations and number-crunching...

[schmidtbag]

The performance-per-dollar graphs were the most surprising to me. I don't think this GPU has all that great of a price (considering it's a mainstream...

[schmidtbag]

Not in the slightest bit worried about anyone stealing any of my computers. Most of them have little to no valuable personal information at all, and...

[schmidtbag]

I run plain unencrypted disks for all of my home PCs....

[schmidtbag]

Doesn't do as much as I thought it would have.

[schmidtbag]

You said "copy protection". Unless that means something I'm not aware of, isn't piracy pretty much working around copy protection? You can...

[schmidtbag]

Good addition.

This should be amended with "avoid taking things too personally where offense was not intended"....

[schmidtbag]

This is great. This is the sort of stuff that makes Linux so portable

[schmidtbag]

Most? According to what? There's plenty of games out there that still have cheaters out there, and even more games that were successfully pirated....

[schmidtbag]

I don't have a problem with VLC's UI (it could be better but it isn't bad IMO) and I'm still wary of any open-source projects by MS, but otherwise I pretty...

[schmidtbag]

That doesn't mean it won't ever work, that just means it current can't...

They may be peaked, but they're still topping sales charts. I wouldn't...

[schmidtbag]

I imagine once PUBG works [well] with Proton, the percentage might increase much closer to 1%. That still tops Steam's sales charts pretty much every...

[schmidtbag]

KDE already has one. Even ignoring Wayland, XFCE is a bit outdated.


I'm not really sure how much Valve cares about Wayland. I'm...

[schmidtbag]

Pretty interesting how there are practically no performance issues anymore, regardless of what you use. Though, part of me wonders if using 4K resolutions...

[schmidtbag]

Not always. In a lot of cases, the only thing the Clear devs are doing is tapping into unused CPU instructions. In general, a well-made program will fallback...
