Besides it being a learning project for yourself. Why should people care about it more then something like conan? I don't want to downplay your project. But you need to bring something interesting or new to table to get people interested.

Me personally I don't think that package managers will ever be a widely used thing in the C/C++ world. Both languages are mostly used in low level or close to Hardware programming. Both requiring good understanding and knowledge of the Hardware you are running on. And this is contrary to the benefits a package manager offers, which is General purpose and easy to reuse code.

Me too. Draytek Router automatically updates the IP. Set it up once and it is working since 2-3 years (don't exactly rember when I set it up).

I know that it is not uncommon. I just don't understand why people are doing it. In my opinion/experience you are fine by just wearing socks (maybe thicker ones if you want it to be extra comfy).

I get the point with the wet bathroom floor. But these textile slippers would not solve the problem. They would get soaked.

You are not wearing socks? Just curious.

Because of wood splinters? Or do you think it is just uncomfortable to walk on? I don't mean this in a bad way, I am just really curious to understand this.

Just a question: Why are you wearing shoes at home? I understand putting on some slippers when you go into your garden/balcony or outside to grab the mail. But inside your living room?

One of the most used F-Droid Apps on my phone

I really like that now some Content Creators are working on providing useful information for Linux gamers. Especially information like bad Frame pacing or "unreasonable" bad performance for some certain games for certain hardware is a very important information to make a good decision when buying a card.

Me personally I am not very interested in the performance comparison between Linux and Windows. I choose Linux as my daily driver for specific reasons, and game performance was not a high priority. But knowing which Hardware might have strange performance problems compared to other Hardware if I wamt to game is always a very nice thing.

I liked that the Intel B580 was included in the charts. This gave me some usefull information for comparing it to a AMD 9060 XT. Only thing I am missing is if it is the 8GB or 16GB version of the Sapphire Pulse. But I did not check their Blog/Site post yet.

Just wanted to say thank you for the information that this is based on Wifi Aware and the proprietary AirDrop protocol from Apple. Helps understanding why there are some limitations.

Actually supporting HDMI-CEC is such a big thing because it makes it the perfect HTPC machine for Libreelec. No more need for separate remote to control your 4k HDR media player!

For me these actions of the Deutsche Telekom are already impacting usability and access for specific services. It also happened in my family where a game patch Download (FFXIV) was extremely slow and the update would constantly crash/stop. Only solution was using a VPN and first connecting to some other region like Japan.

And this despite the Deutsche telekom being on the premium side of pricing...

I am not familiar with english speaking (and reliable) gaming news Sites. Do you have a link to a trustworthy source to place here?

 

For non-german readers: The german online Computer Magazine "computerbase" has an article (references the original information from PCGH) which mentions that AMD will drop "Feature Support" for RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 GPU Architectures starting with AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2. They will only receive updates for critical or security related issues. Also no Game specific patches/fixes.

I think this is a very customer un-friendly decision. Especially regarding the Handheld market with the "new" Ryzen Z2 GO and Ryzen Z2 A processors. They are (for example) used in

  • Lenovo Legion Go S
  • ROG Xbox Ally

Especially the ROG Xbox Ally released just 2 weeks ago and it will not receive GPU feature updates. What a big downside....

For non-German readers: AMD will move RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 into Legacy mode starting with AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2. Therefor these devices will only receive updates for security or other critical issues. But no new Features (e.g. FSR 4) will be added.

I think this a very customer unfriendly decision. Especially cosnidering the use of Ryzen Z2 GO and Ryzen Z2 A in the Handheld Market used (for example) in:

  • Lenovo Legion Go S
  • ROG Ally X

Does anybody know if it will be the same on Linux (e.g. SteamOS)? I did not find any information regarding support in the Linux Kernel Driver. But I think the situation might be the same?
