I guess it boils down to two options:
Bragging rights, amarite?
Well, at least for the time being. The article did suggest that it’s a step in an interesting direction. No guarantees though.
it’s important to clarify that this does not stream VR games—only the sorts of games you would play on a traditional 2D display like a computer monitor or a TV
Saved you a click. You’re welcome.
Oh, but a USB condom really is a thing though. It just passes through power but no data, as those pins are missing.
Would make sense to relocate it next year. Nobody wants to be randomly arrested by KGB.
Because you bypassed the PD chip. With great current comes great responsibility.
While you’re at it, consider dropping to just 100 mV and keeping the power at 60 W to see what happens. Should be interesting.
That is a solution. Haven’t really seen any comprehensive labels that would clearly indicate all the capabilities of the cable. Maybe there’s a thunderbolt logo, maybe 100W is written on it? If you’re lucky. Definitely can’t have both at the same time though. I guess that leaves me with approximately zero cables I’ll be buying in the future.
Have a look at this for instance. If a charger manufacturer can’t be bothered to put any useful labels on the cables, what do you think anyone else will do?
It’s a 60 W cable, so how about you write 60 W on it, so that the people who bought your 100 W charger won’t be disappointed? Too much effort, I guess.
That’s not the problem. Lack of labels is. You need to have a cable tester to figure out which one of your many C-C cables is best for a particular purpose.
Rule 1: never read the article
They should have called it cram. Lost opportunity.
Yeah, that post was getting way too long, so I made some cuts here and there. The issue was in the way SE2 detects hardware… or more like doesn’t detect my GPU at all, throws an error about it and refuses to start. Under Bazzite it starts the game first 🎉, then complains that my hardware might not be good enough to run this game 🤯, but the beautiful graphics say otherwise. It’s still in early access, so I guess this kind of strange behavior will be ironed out sooner or later.
I got tired of researching this issue in Debian, so once I got it up and running in Bazzite, I stopped reading about it. Honestly, I have no idea what’s the key difference here. Is it the driver version, Proton-GE or something else? Who knows.
Anyway, I would recommend trying Bazzite. It has some pre-configured tricks that seem to handle weird cases like this.
It was Space Engineers 2. Even made a post about the journey.
All the other games were just fine though. If you don’t stumble upon one of these edge cases, there’s no reason to switch.
That’s the same philosophy I’ve applied for a long time. Recently, I found out that gaming is an exception to the rule, though. While older versions are just fine for the most part, there are edge cases where that no longer applies. I also found out that I care about one of them. Until you hit that brick wall, there’s no reason to switch. Just keep on using Debian for everything.
Took me a while to realise that I was spending way too much time figuring out workarounds instead of actually gaming. I ended up using Bazzite in my gaming rig because it works so well for that purpose.
Year of the RISC-V desktop, let’s go!
China is already the world’s factory, so why not become the world’s battery factory too.
People seem to be interested in electric vehicles, so might as well. Once China is the number one EV manufacturer, battery manufacturer and solar panel manufacturer, it’s going to become as wealthy as Saudi Arabia and USA combined.
Good luck keeping up with that pace if your country still run on coal.
I think there’s hope as long as we don’t nuke ourselves back into the stone age. If we keep a steady pace of progress and take good care of our only habitable space ship, we should be able to figure out how to thrive pretty much anywhere in space. Self inflicted extinction events are the biggest threats at the moment.
Oh… so after billions of years, the Earth will be tidally locked with the Sun. If we start harvesting Earth’s rotational energy one way or another, we’re just speeding up the process. Anyway, that sounds about as bad as burning fossil fuels.
Islands, shores and land in general tends to resist the tides. Not just a little bit either. By that logic, the rotation of the earth was never sustainable to begin with.
Yeah, but that’s true until AI chip demand comes crashing down. Just a matter of time. AI startups can continue to funnel money to datacentres as long as investors have money. When banks decide to increase interest rates, the cascade begins.
