  • it's currently opt-in rather than opt-out, fully on-device and won't work on devices with weak NPUs (or on any which completely lack it)unless it changes in the future it's not that bad at the moment tbh

  • prob already exists

  • but actually having a thing you can ask highly contextual stuff like "oh where the fuck did i see that thing i need for a quest now" sounds super nice, no need to resort to scrubbing through playthroughs while trying to reconstruct a path there

  • privatbank has a similar feature in Ukraine, noone uses it loldon't get why anyone would ever want this, when you can just tap your phone w google pay

  • or...

    Upgrade to Enterprise (upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)

    in gpo editor:

    • Set updates to Manual
    • set the telemetry level to "Security" in group policy (iirc can also be called "Compliance"). This only works on Enterprise.
    • opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
    • disable copilot and integrated bing search

    do a full reboot

  • well apple cpus have a hardware flag which slightly changes side effects of some existing arm instructions AND completely changes the memory model to one that imitates Intel x86 for the current thread. (TSO)

    with this flag enabled, the code can be almost fully recompiled ahead-of-time (from x86_64 to arm64) with minimal overhead (no need to remap memory addresses etc), with no reason to resort to e.g. jit recompilation on the fly (which is exactly what box64 does all the time)

    i assume snapdragon and microsoft are doing a similar thing (it definitely involves some hw magic too, maybe not exactly the same as in apple) since it's seemingly the only way to achieve parity with apple in terms of performance

  • yes, but you'll be missing out on ALL games, none of which are compiled for arm64.also no, box64 is not hardware accelerated. both snapdragon and apple m series cpus have hardware magic that makes translation viable at all (as demonstrated by box64's (and even fex) piss poor performance)

  • both apple m cpus and snapdragon have hardware magic to make translation viable when paired with usermode tools like Rozetta or Prismotherwise it's painfully slow, as demonstrated by both box64 and fex.

  • not hw accelerated either

  • not hw accelerated

  • tbh it has been nearly flawless on win11 for me with an amd cpu

    (just make sure to disable automatic windows/defender updates unless you want to get woken up by jet turbine sounds in the middle of the night)

  • Battery life and thermals. really neat for laptops

  • now we need some sort of hw-accelerated x86_64 layer but for linux

  • it's more of a "legal gray area" market

  • estrogen is not a controlled substance tho, so not really "illegal", it's more of a legal gray area thing

  • estrogen's not a controlled substance tho

  • 10mbps is not even an option anymore tho for most isps.50 is the lowest that's still exists, with most isps offering 100 or 300 as the cheapest option

  • but it's not 90s anymore. it's hard to even find a slower connection than 100-300mbps nowadays.even in a remote village with nothing but fields in kilometers i got an offer with 100mbps as minimum speed

  • wdym even a shitty 50mbps connection is enough to watch stuff at 1080pheck, even 3g/4g with it's unusable 10-15mbps is still good enough yo stream video at a decent quality
