Asking as someone who doesn’t know anything about any of this:

Does more B mean better?

I’d gladly save some gas by letting them push me

It’s just that it’s incredibly wasteful/polluting.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

It can pull weight at 4k, but I’m not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

There are many games that cut it awfully close with 12GB at 1440p, for some it’s actually not enough. And when Nvidia pushes Raytracing as hard as they do, not giving us the little extra memory we need for that is just a dick move.

Whatever this card costs, 12GB of vram is simply not appropriate.

Many games might actually be DRM free without you realizing. Look them up on PC Gaming Wiki, and maybe you’ll like what you see.

With some games it’s as simple as launching them directly from the executable to circumvent annoying launchers and accounts.

Something most people probably don’t even think of doing anymore, and why would they. But it never hurts to try.

It’s been there for me since the whole thing started

Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.

It doesn’t seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.

So I reckon I’ll just try and see for myself if that’s true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.

Sometimes not even borderline.

Anyone playing Outer Worlds, the Spacers Choice Edition? Suuuper annoying issues, I might actually install it on Windows instead

Edit:
Flawless on Windows, general performance seems to be a tad better, too.

Which is great to see, because that means it’s not the game itself, and that maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues

Does Connect You work for you? I can send messages, but if someone replies, the notification only shows their number instead of the name I saved them as, and the reply doesn’t show up in the chat itself

Interesting, so it seems to depend on how accessible the manufacturer makes their camera api?

Does that make sense? I don’t know much about how this all works, to be honest

Oh, that sounds annoying. If it’s any consolation, there’s clip-on macro lenses for closer focus that can be had for just a few bucks.

Speaking from experience, you can produce some really cool shots with those, if there isn’t any other solution for that problem.

Ohhh, okay. Gotta say, wouldn’t have surprised me though.

auto-focus on the macro lens just doesn’t work (making that one useless)

So you basically have a fixed focus distance, or is it all over the place because the auto-focus freaks out?

Oh wow, so it’s even worse than I thought. It works on my one+ 5t, but maybe because I’m running DivestOS? Or one+ has just closed down the camera api on newer models

Yeah, the only alternative I know of would be Gcam with unnecessary permissions removed.

Other than that, the LineageOS default cam can use all the lenses, but doesn’t have any useful manual settings.

OpenCamera is pretty damn good, offering pretty much all the manual settings you could want.

There is only one downside to it:
As far as I know, it can only use the phones (back and front) main camera lens. So if your phone has extra lenses for tele, night mode or whatever, OpenCamera can’t do anything with them.

At least from my experience.

Ubisofts wet dream, yes

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

Honestly, I actually respect the meme. What was there first, a fridge? Now a toaster? Maybe a microwave next?

It’s so stupid that it’s kinda funny to me

I don’t intend to blame them, I’m just making an observation.

The fact that they don’t know is a problem in itself too, and spreading awareness about cybersecurity and teaching general tech literacy and common sense is not done as much as it should be.

It’s exactly like you say. They don’t know, and how would they? No one is ever giving them the information they need.

Can Disney just ******* ***** ** ***** already
