Well, morons bought it and the device is directly connected to a data harvesting company. I think that has more to do with it. One lone weirdo with a hidden camera and a home server isn't the same kind of boogeyman

Well, I'm sad to report it certainly isn't a one-click launch for that game. I came across the original files, but it seems those 16-bit titles are still unevenly supported. It doesn't help that i386 support was removed from the Linux kernel a while back.

This was apparently based on fields filled out during game submission. "Other" was just a selectable option among common engines, so there's no specific data to look through. I imagine it might be hard to parse every text response that might type the name of the engine used ever so slightly, but it would be nice data to have.

It helps that it's also a good engine. Unity dominated not just due to familiarity, but because for a long time it was just plain accessible and feature rich.

Godot and Blender are two applications that have been on a very long journey to build not just advanced features but also something that's intuitive to use. The advancements in UX are the single strongest thing there is in replacing long-standing creative tools.

Sure. There's plenty of industry in the US built on Canadian tourism being a consistent population at different times of the year. Operationally, that loss is the cost of the US alienating the Canadian populace.

I'm sure there's more literal costs associated with various attractions, but I believe this is more the "cost as consequence" rather than "cost of business"

Heroic is singlehandedly the best tool I've had for getting seemingly any Windows game to work as needed. I don't know what they do differently than Bottles or Lutris under the hood but good lord the "just works" aspects of it are glorious.

Janky old DX8 title? Bam, now it runs in Vulkan with proper API extensions and directinlut wrappers. Got a weird, 16-bit Windows 3.1 title? Look at that, it works too. The only seeming exceptions are where there legitimately just isn't support yet via Proton or DXVK and that's an ever narrowing gap

KDE's touchscreen support is great. I didn't ha e a surface but used it for a couple years on a similar 2-in-1 with a pen during university.

I had a real time of installing Windows on a laptop because I had a peripheral that only works in Windows.

No trackpad drivers, no network drivers, no audio. Given Windows 11 now functionally requires internet during setup, I had to go get a USB drive, copy over the .inf files and have Windows find them before I could use the laptop that originally shipped with Windows.

Absolutely crazy. None of it was weird hardware either. Intel wireless, standard trackpad (not synaptics), realtek audio. No idea what the hell its problem was.

Domain names are just human-readable addresses for a web server. An A record is just a pointer to the IP address of the web server a given domain name represents. It's what domain name servers use to tell your browser where it actually needs to send your request.

Also where are you supposed to keep your ID, cash, health card, etc? Wallets are for more than just payment.

A cursory search says somewhere between a 3060 and 4060, which seems about right. Games that parallelize well across the GPU cores will benefit, though that benefit will be niche if it exists at all. HBM2 memory is weird for gaming.

You'd see some benefit for sure, but this really is better suited to parallel computing, given the emphasis on CUDA core counts and memory bandwidth. You may also find you run into some latency, since it requires selecting the V100 as your primary GPU but a secondary card as the video output. Integrated GPUs work well for this, since your motherboard may already have this ability. Otherwise, you could use it in tandem with a 1030 or similar to get display out.
