Also seconds language but I’ve learned it depends on how the first letter of the following word is spoken. If the following word has a vocal sound (even if the first letter is technically a consonant), it’s ‘an’, which it thusly would also be here.

HDR actually works fairly well on Linux these days. Been using nobara for the better part of a year now and almost every game I’ve tried, that has HDR support, just worked out of the box.

Costs more to repair than it’s worth is absolutely a valid distinction. It’s not repair cost vs. new car cost, but repair cost vs cost of a similar, fully functional used car. So, if the repair is 3K but you get a similar (or better) used car without issues for 2K, repairing is not necessarily worth it.

Of course that always depends on the cost of the repair, the current used car market, the comparable worth of the car and the available budget.

Well, they did specifically look for heterosexual non-homophobic men. Apparently, every one they got was honest about their sexuality, both to the researchers as to themselves.

It’s not as bad here in Germany but knowing hunters does pay off.

Probably venison and/or wild boar (if you don’t count the latter as pork). My partner’s parents are hunters and they’ve given us some excellent boar steaks and self made game sausages before.

Generally. I hear so much about grape flavoured this and grape flavoured that from US-based media. Anything that goes beyond grape juice is a rarity here in Germany. A lot of what would be grape flavoured in the US is black currant flavoured here.

My goto jam for pbnj is apricot though. Can highly recommend.

Und wir nennen es den Sozialnationalismus. Oder so ähnlich.

I mean, in theory, you can already do that on AppleSilicon Macs. In practice, Apple’s Windows translation layer („Game Porting Toolkit“) isn’t particularly good yet

I mean yea, they’re a joke among the gaming community, because they’re Macs. They’ve been getting better at gaming than they were before but they’re decidedly not gaming machines. Most games don’t even run at all. For productivity work (and definitely day-to-day tasks like browsing the web) they’re definitely not underpowered. Even the worst, 5 y/o AppleSilicon (i.e. ARM powered) Macbook is a very decent daily driver and machine, even capable of light video editing, animation, coding, etc. (I would know, I have two and work in media)

And iPhones are far from being underpowered (for phones) either. Quite the opposite, being at or among the top of the phone-chip leaderboard for years now. The current A18 chip benchmarks similarly to a M1 chip in CPU and much higher in GPU workloads.

A cheaper MacBook with a lower powered chip would absolutely make sense. Of course, given they hit a competitive and affordable price point. This has the possibility to get much more people to buy a MacBook, not less. A brand new 600-700€ MacBook that has the same power as an M1 would absolutely sell like hot cakes. Heck, even used M1 MacBooks still sell very well on second hand markets.

And btw, proof that lower powered AppleSilicon Macs would totally work already exists. The dev kit that released before the M1 processor was powered by an A12Z iPad chip. It’s much slower than any current AppleSilicon Chip (and any M series chip) and even it performed perfectly well as a platform to develop and test apps on until M1 arrived.

But yes, it won’t be a gaming machine beyond the casual market. But for a student or as a family laptop, or anyone who just doesn’t need a whole lot of power…

It also most likely has the same cheap head and mechanics as any other new tape player you can get nowadays. If you want good quality, get something that was good in the 90s.

Safari on Mobile from within the EU and I do need to register.

Maybe a bit of a nvidia on linux being kinda meh thing. On my AMD card, mods n shaders run terribly in Windows but the same mods n settings in Linux are perfectly smooth.

Artificial limits can be great though. They force you to think about what you’re doing. Only 80 minutes of space on the CD? 36 frames in my camera? Make them count.

A friend of mine is a teacher in training and he is currently teaching ~11 year olds about basic computer use (like Office programs) and a lot of his students weren’t sufficiently able to use a mouse in the beginning. Almost all of them have smartphones.

Also, they seem to lack the bite to get behind things themselves, if they don’t get something or if something doesn’t work like they think it should.

I usually just check protondb. It‘ll tell you everything you need to know

A lot of games that that don’t work on steamdeck because they need more performance still work perfectly well with proton on a decent gaming rig

You can but it’s a bit of a workaround via the shortcuts app.

And it still doesn’t have hall effect sticks/triggers
