Honestly, I don’t believe for one minute this wasn’t sanctioned behind the scenes to drum up interest for future IPOs.

I’m with you on that - switched to Godot earlier this year and really enjoying it so far (although I need to dig into GDExtensions still).

I wish Carnack would emerge from the void and offer to buy back his first child. id Software and idTech could be so well repositioned to take a cut out of Epic’s pie. Unreal performance is utterly abysmal these days. If only idTech had similar licensing to Unreal…

It’s like Joey with a thesaurus.

You must be fun at parties.

People using early access software as if it’s complete has been a thing since forever.

PuTTY still isn’t v1.0 and that’s been around 27+ years. Hasn’t stopped it becoming the defacto SSH/SCP client for Windows.

Compiz never made it to v1 and was used by basically every Linux desktop environment back in the day.

Neovim, MAME, mpv, fzf; same story.

It doesn’t matter how much a developer stresses something isn’t complete yet, that is meaningless to the adoption rate by users.

Same thing with games. If anything, I prefer things the way they are vs countless games never seeing the light of day because they’re not “done”.

It’s on the user to accept the state of release, not the developers, not the platform, not the package manager.

V2/V3/V4 are the microarchitectures to enable e.g. glibc to search for optimum libraries for the target platform.

x86-64 was drafted in 2000 and up until like 2020 or something, there was no way to discern microarchitecture differences to optimise compilation. So v2 is basically just anything since 2008.

Why Red Hat are moving on from “v1” - likely because they’re spending huge amount of resources maintaining binaries for that old microarchitecture and the cost dwarfs the revenue they’re making from continuing to support it.

With the security vulnerabilities found in older chips that require either a revised architecture or otherwise take huge performance penalties to mitigate (e.g. Meltdown and Spectre), most enterprise customers upgraded their hardware older than 2008 in recent years.

Thankfully this is Linux so while RHEL is moving on, Debian are still maintaining support for old architectures!

Whereas Windows 11 23H2 onwards killed x86-64-v1 support entirely.

You can plug a DVD drive into the Steam Machine and it works.

Where’s Wilfred?!

£12.71 x 160h = £2,033.60

$2000 = £1,476.85

Every recent remaster that saw passionate and committed modders called up and paid to canonise their contributions have been all the better for it. Aspyr releases come to mind.

It’s likely a cultural thing.

For instance all the countries you mentioned with space to eat in are also countries that have universal healthcare. So perhaps, in those other cultures, there is greater empathy for fellow persons and value in service to and hospitality for others.

This sounds infuriating, not just mildly infuriating.

@LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone it would be really great if this sub had a rule that artists should be credited for their work and not have their credits cropped out of images, or at least named/hyperlinked in the post’s text.

It feels rather _un_wholesome to see someone’s hard work be purposefully cropped to take away their attribution.

Who is the artist? Their name has been cropped out of the image…

I’ve a similar board. Long-short-short-short means no graphics adapter detected, and then that pause with one short beep I think means no keyboard detected.

Edit: ASUS have stopped putting the beep codes in their manuals for some reason so I don’t know where one is expected to find this information out. It was in my manual but that’s a much older model.
