    DRM is almost never an issue. The problem with BF6 is the anti cheat, not DRM.

    DXVK does not run on Mac OS. There's a modified version based on an ancient release of DXVK that kinda works on MoltenVK but the D3D9 side never worked. The D3D9 implementation in …

    Rosetta actually supports 32bit code just fine.

    It actually works really well. Rosetta is fast enough (together with the incredible single thread performance of Apple CPUs). There are some pain points that Apple could easily fix…

    Comment #43632611

    One problem for that is that most 32bit games use x87. x87 optionally supports 80 bit floats so Rosetta runs software emulation for x87 math code. That's extremely slow to the poin…

    Apple is ahead on CPU perf. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has a faster GPU than the A17 Pro though.

    I don't think that's the case for Android GPU drivers. The kernel driver is just an out of tree kernel module.

    Steam Cloud synced save games are nice for people with a Steam Deck.

    > hard to beat the performance you get w/ a mac Unless you need GPU performance. In that case it's very easy to beat the performance of most Macs unless you spend 60% more.

    The problem isn't that they're expecting third party clients to pay for API usage. The problem is that their prices are completely outlandish and multiple orders of magnitude more …

    The iOS sandbox prevents stuff like that anyway.

    It's the OS that ensures privacy, security and sandboxing, not the App Store.

    The only thing that Android doesn't do is zero out the advertizing ID unless the user gives explicit permission. That's an OS thing on iOS though, not a user one.

    It's the OS that enforces privacy and security, not the App Store. They won't be able to do much more than they can now. Besides, they'll stay on the App Store just like they are s…

    I like the Reddit redesign from a design POV but holy shit this is one of the slowest websites I've ever used. Their shitty JS code slows to a crawl on my fucking AMD 5900X.
