3·2 days agoThe only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal “slab” phone.
4·6 days agoGame mode is way better than big picture because
- support for decky loader
- control system level settings from game mode itself
- has gamescope which handles win32 game settings much better
- disables other OS processes/the desktop and frees up resources (not sure about this)
- control more things with controller instead of the touchscreen
3·9 days agoI was also in your position.
Tried to use lutris a few years back and got spooked. I tried lutris again this year and the process seems to be more streamlined. I just tried installing an ancient game from an ISO and lutris asked me “are you trying to install game A? Then we will apply the patches for game A”. It was all automatic.

The Chromium base, which is what Steam is built upon, itself isn’t supported on Win 7,8. Can Valve work upon it to make it backwards compatible? Maybe. Will it be a pain in the ass to maintain? Absolutely.
Also, if you don’t want to upgrade to Win11, you can make a 2nd partition for Linux and enjoy your games.
as difficult as plugging in a flash drive
That’s a gross over-simplification
They have to
- Download the windows ISO
- How do you find the original ISO and not a cracked one?
- Get instructions to modify the ISO
- Hope you get the right set of instructions from a genuine website
- Download Rufus and install
- Make backup of their data
- Hope you disabled Bitlocker also
- Reboot and press the F? key to change boot order (F? varies from system to system)
- How do you even find the right key for this?
- Follow the installation process
One of the reasons Linux is not widespread is because following these “simple” instructions is too much for an average user. So I doubt a Windows user will be bothered to modify their OS. I have installed different variants of Linux 100s of time and even I need to check online if their are any hidden gotchas.
- Download the windows ISO
but if you install it right
Basically eliminates the vast majority of people who don’t have the technical knowledge to deal with Rufus

How do you activate Arch Premium? I got that stupid “Activate” overlay on my desktop.
9·24 days agoThe people from Heroic are already working on this.
The talk gives a brief overview on what they’ve been working on like UWP/WinRT in Wine, Comet for GOG multiplayer features and more. But Lidwin also does a quick little sneak peek intro on a new project called Maxima Launcher, an open source replacement for EA Desktop / Origin that will eventually get Heroic integration too.
What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ?
Any time you ask very domain specific questions; eg “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”, both of-the-shelf local models & OpenAI fail.
The main reason is because these models are not trained on highly-specialized domains of text. Sometimes the models start hallucinating and which reduces our trust upon them.
Nobody is saying Valve is perfect. But the other companies just sucks much harder
Should have been called AITL (AITL Is a Translation Layer)
My company is realizing that hosting a model which will be private, cost-effective, and performing better than traditional algorithms is like finding a unicorn. Few months back, the top execs were jumping around GenAI like a bunch of kids. Fortunately, the Sr. research head beat some sense into them.
Adobe should get comfortable with users not using AI
