naw unfortunately not. It’s kind of crazy that they nestle each individual engine within a wrapper. I’m not sure of this brings the api level to d3d11, or if they had to work to bring each engine up for that. Somewhat explains why MCC as a whole was so difficult to back port improvements to, like configurable FOV and weapon model placements, frame rate unlocking and interpolation, custom keybinds, missing assets and such.

it’s kind of interesting seeing the player models rendered in UE when you use the customisation menus; everything looks so glossy and odd.

no you’re cool

The ‘wrapper’ around each of the individual halo engines is in unreal and is arguably the wost thing about the collection from a reliability standpoint.

That said, they’d definitely be able to find people suited for the work, provided said people agent already scared away by stories of the work culture at 343i / MS

okay cool but it works with a usermode module in Linux for now, and will probably continue to do so.

slipspace was just an iteration of blam with a marketing name slapped on top, and cost them dearly in any case :/

O’Connor, Ross, Wolfkill, and several others.

yeah chances are they’ll stick with EAC and continue to be friendly towards the steam deck (and indirectly towards desktop Linux as a whole)

I see. I admit I sorely missed the app startup at boot control permission (app ops) toggle when it was removed from the Android permissions framework, but the new power and background software management framework eliminates the need for it.

Also damn, you have a modern xperia? Hardware wise they are massively appealing to me. They have nearly all of the HW amenities I can think of (SD card slot, headphone jack, dedicated FP reader / button, notification LED, no camera cutout).

If they supported bootloader relocking with sself signed keys, they’d be the perfect phone for me.

I made the admittedly difficult discussion to move to a Pixel so I could use some of the most private and secure software possible on android with little effort or thought behind it.

I sorely miss my headphone jack but at least I feel like I can depend on this tiny computer to not fuck me over with unfettered personal data collection (and save a lot of power in doing so, I suppose).

It means a couple things I guess.

It’ll probably still run bad thanks to associated technologies like nanite (see relevant threat interactive video).

They’re not longer constrained by the technical debt of blam engine.

Such a cuddly muffin 🥰

Adaway was what I used prior to ublock origin on Firefox. The network access toggles can be found directly in ROMs like Calyx Grapene, Lineage, Divest, though I’m not sure if they’re widely seen elsewhere.

I know the process you’re referring you WRT gadgetbridge. I used to do the same thing until I switched to a pinetime.

I’m not familiar with permission manager X. Does that deviate from the android permissions framework in some way?

Can you tell me more about the hardware tweaks?

they’re trying to ensure an acceptable UX with their browser.

I suppose the root of the issue is developers specifically targeting and testing on chrome.

I don’t understand how this would make Firefox look bad unless you’re pointing at the dire browser share situation.

it do be that way :(

Manifest v3? I gather they’re already moving towards this but not in a manner which harms ad blocking

okay cool but what are you specifically using system or systemless root for now?

out of interest, what use cases do you have in mind that require root access?

I used to use a root based solution to block ads system wide via hosts but now I just use ublock origin in Firefox.

Their latest microcode update from 7 days ago was declared as final. Time will tell about the efficacy of the most recent fixes.

Unfortunately it may only be available via board partners as beta BIOS updates at present.

Isn’t this the kernel driver included by default?

I see, appreciate the info. I’ll have a poke around on fedora later today

Oh right. Do you have a distro specific example of this?
