Userbenchmark have a long running grudge against AMD. I'm not sure why, but they therefore aren't a trustworthy source.

The point is to harm people that have less power than you do. There's a whole political ideology based around that idea.

A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn't lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it's a much of muchness.

Someone among Linda Reynolds’ advisors should have had the courage to tell her that persisting with this defamation trial, especially in the wake of the Bruce Lehrmann trial, is really shitty optics.

She seems to have the hubris of Lehrmann, as Christrian Porter had before them. Something about being in the Liberal party makes you believe that normal rules don't apply.

You can also connect rural towns by cycling routes. Some parts of Australia are doing this by adding cycling tracks to long-abandoned rail links (would be nice if some of these were used as rail again but that's another story). Yes, not everyone is going to be willing and able to use these but it's great for tourism, and even getting a small amount of people out of their cars now and then is a win.

Just add more buses in that case. This is the good kind of induced demand.

Even then, in a well designed city, there are enough viable alternatives when buses get too crowded (walking, cycling, trains, even a slightly different bus route).

The characters were just 2D sprites from what I recall. And the isometric camera kind of gave it a 2D feel even if it wasn't actually 2D.

Anyway, hopefully this isn't a Switch exclusive as that would be lame.

No official Linux support, which means no Steam Deck support as well. Yes, there's Legendary but I shouldn't have to jump through those hoops.

And is still an active lawyer, so Vance is attacking his wife as well "who should go back to the kitchen" to paraphrase his own wording.

They’re not going to be defended by the soy boys who want to feed the monsters.

He really is just the typical, always online, alt-right loser. Same as Steven Cheung accusing people of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" during the ongoing Arlington scandal.

Beyond moderation, Phoronix is a case study in why downvotes are a good thing. Those idiots going on dumb tangents would continue, while the rest of us can read the actual worthwhile comments (which does happen, given AMD employees and the like comment there sometimes).

 

It became very obvious after starting this channel that probably the biggest motivating force for people who care about urbanism is, simply, the fact that places with great urban qualities are often so unaffordable. Enter YIMBYism, the movement that says the more neighbors, the better, and the more people who can afford to live in a city, the better it is for everyone.
