I haven't looked into Deepseek specifically so I could be mistaken, but a lot of times when a model is called "open-source" it really is just open weights. You can download it or train other models off of it, but you can't actually view any kind of source code on how the model works.

An audit isn't really possible.

I have a strong suspicion that Trump is wanting to do things during his presidency to ensure he has a "legacy". He wants to have some big accomplishments that will make him standout more than some of the other presidents. Things like starting Space Force, wanting to add new states/territories/etc, I think it's all about wanting a bigger legacy.

Oh that's nice. I've used a script for nested desktop for years now, but I completely missed that they added an official app for launching it.

Seems like there's hope.

Personally I'm hoping to see some better sales on the first Spider-Man game once 2 comes out. Right now the lowest I think it goes is about $30, but judging from God of War sales after Ragnarok released, I think that will come down to $15-20 after Spiderman 2 comes out.

The (fps) rich get richer while the (fps) poor are left behind, the true tragedy of our times.

The plugin isn't available on the plugin store yet, and has to be downloaded manually from the github.

Also general reminder that framegen isn't recommended to be used under 60fps according to AMD. It will work, but you can get really bad input lag. It'll depend on your own tolerance for input lag and the type of game for whether this will be a viable option for you.

I had some issues with Decky recorder, but that was it personally.

The OLED deck in general just gets so much better battery life than the LCD. Getting 2.5 hours instead of 1.5 hours on a demanding game is a huge increase.

Those increases are only for running games through wine. If you're running your windows games through proton (which is the default for the deck) you'll see a minimal performance increase, if any. It should improve compatibility for games though.

The people doing the revival have been working to keep the original pebbles working for years now. I think they're really passionate about the watch, and that gives me hope for the revival.

The former pebble employees at Google worked hard to get the OS open source, so I think it's fair to assume they were hoping for this outcome. And the repebble team (who are the ones"bringing it back") have been working on providing support and keeping the original pebble watches going for years now.

I actually fully agree with the article on all of those points. I generally stopped buying switch games after I got the deck, titles like TotK sit barely played on my switch because I couldn't pull myself away from the Deck for long enough to play it.

Part of it is size, the switch is really uncomfortable in my hands, but the biggest reason is I share the switch with my kids, where the deck is exclusively my device.

As for the sleep resume feature, it's literally the biggest reason I play on a switch/deck over my desktop PC. Having my own dedicated game system that offers the option to instantly stop or start a game session is the killer feature that has let me play games again. The switch stopped being a viable option for that once I had to share it with my kids, because I would put a game to sleep, and they would close it to launch their own game.

Because it gets a negative response? Regardless of whether they think it has a valid place as an art form, if they know it will get a negative response they probably won't want to share it.

I think that will be increasingly impossible to enforce, as AI art gets increasingly better.

Also, if someone finds some cool art online how are they to know if AI was used or not?

Probably not for epic/gog games, but this offers a lot more platforms than heroic does. So you might want to use heroic (or junk store) for epic/gog, and use this for other platforms.

The audience being a sacrifice doesn't always work out when they're the ones expected to buy the game.

In my experience it's largely been unreal engine 5 games.

The issues with both Doom DA and Indiana Jones is that they have mandatory ray tracing that can't be disabled. I generally think that ray tracing is a often a waste, it's far too resource demanding, other lighting techniques can offer very similar visuals for a fraction of the cost.

That's actually the first point in the article.

The fight part is debatable, but I thought the recommendations for future devices were all good ideas, and covers a lot of the shortcomings of many handheld PCs.

VR has to render the game twice to give you depth perception, which is a big part of the increased resource requirements.

This isn't trying to do that, it's only displaying the game once. The effect of the glasses is supposed to be like having a TV a few feet in front of you.
