Better app performance, better upscaling, game streaming (though you'll need to use something like Moonlight for local streaming now), better audio format support for local Plex/Jellyfin servers.

Arguably, if you use 2FA to access your passwords in 1password, there's little difference between storing all your other OTPs in 1password or a separate OTP app. In both cases, since both your secret passwords and OTPs are on the same device (your phone), you lack a true second factor. The most likely way someone would gain access to 1password secured with 2FA is if they control your device and it's been compromised, and having your OTPs separated wouldn't provide additional protection there. Thankfully, the larger benefit of OTPs for most people is that they are one-time-use, not that they originate from a second factor.

There is one theoretical situation I can think of where having your OTPs and passwords separate could be an advantage, and that's if someone gained all your 1password login details, including the 2FA secret key. But for someone able to gather that much sensitive intel, I'm not sure how much more of a challenge an authenticator app would be.

If you truly feel you need a second factor though, you'll probably want to look at something like a Yubikey or Titan. I've considered getting one to secure my 1password vault to reduce the risk of a lost phone compromising my vault.

It runs better on AMD cards because they and Bethesda entered into an exclusive partnership for the game. FSR is AMD tech; it's why DSLL isn't an included option.

Thankfully, it's quite simple to replace FSR with DSLL using a mod. I get 45-60 FPS on High @ 3440x1440 with a 2070S after doing so.

They have, literally just a few hours slower than this guy charging people: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/761

Technically I'm using DSLL 3.5 from that mod I mentioned, but native DSLL support would likely be even better.

My 2070 super has been running everything smoothly on High at 3440x1440 (CPU is a Ryzen 5600X, game installed on an M.2 SSD). I haven't been closely monitoring frames, but I cannot think of a single instance where it's noticeably dropped, which for me usually means 50+ fps for games like this. I may even test running on some higher settings, but I've done very little tweaking/testing.

I did, however, install a mod from the very beginning that lets me use DSLL, which likely helps a ton.

The issue with Nvidia cards is that Bethesda had an agreement with AMD for the game dev, so NVIDIA DSLL isn't included. This means NVIDIA cards can't by default take advantage of their full resolution upscaling ability.

I say "by default" because there's already mods that replace AMD FSR with NVIDIA DSLL. I installed DSLL 3.5 and have been running it essentially without issues (very rarely the screen goes black for a second or two). Getting smooth frame rates on my 2070 super, 3440x1440, High settings other than resolution scaling (which I set around 58%, essentially DSLL "balanced").

What's more likely is that in his panic he wasn't thinking quite straight. It's very common for people to make decisions that seem silly in retrospect in situations like this.

Anecdotal, but me (millennial), my boomer parents, and a number of my friends have been fortunate enough to collect varying levels of wealth. Almost all of us are relatively more progressive than 10-20 years ago.

Doesn't help that the conservative party in my country has gone batshit crazy.

Eh, I think porn studios just were looking for something new that's "taboo" since some sexual acts that 20+ years ago were super taboo are much less so nowadays.

I can second these. Have haf a very positive experience with some of their Blue 2-1 switches (and in a 3-way setup with Aux switch).

Watched an interesting video recently about the computer used in the Apollo lunar missions. Of course even basic processors now are more powerful, but it's still impressive how rock-solid stable the Apollo computers were.

Trump and other Republicans have recently not-so-secretly been plotting to invade Mexico in a war on drug cartels. It's not Canada, but it's right in line with the fascist playbook.
